Lovely cafe. Most of the cabinet food was gluten free. Also vegan and Keto option. Menu items clearly labeled. Happy to do coeliac. They didn’t give me chips but I got extra bacon in my toastie instead. Delicious. Cheesecake for dessert and chocolate brownie to take home. Mum ate glutinous pancakes that she said was delicious. Staff were lovely and knew about coeliac. Definitely visiting next time we are in town

A lot of choices in the cabinet, (15+) - all three top rows are gluten-free - wide selection of savoury and sweet items. Knowledge staff, and once advised of Coeliac in our midst, are happy to use clean tongs and heat in baking paper on the grill to avoid cross contamination. The range of GF food keeps expanding, we are regular visitors to this cafe and have never had an issue.

Nothing was gluten free except some cabinet stuff and I’m also vegetarian and don’t eat sugar so couldn’t eat any of the six or seven choices. Might be a nice place if you’re not gluten free but don’t bother if you are. Would have given it zero gluten free stars if I could

Great cabinet selection, with the top three shelves all GF. Good mix of options for kids and adults. Really friendly staff and I felt they took extra care for our wee coeliac.
