The National Herb Centre

This establishment has a menu with GFO and vegetarian options. Really they have no idea about either.

They have nachos with chilli on the menu which is gluten free with a vegetarian option. I am a vegetarian so asked what the veg option was. It means you don’t get any chilli just nachos, sour cream and guacamole. Same price no chilli.

I therefore opted for an expensive vegetarian gluten free cooked breakfast. When it came I was given a single slice of bread, no butter, one fried egg, baked beans, 2 has browns. I asked where my sausages were to be told I picked gluten free so don’t get sausages. As with the chilli - same price just parts of the meal missing. Not really an option.

We established that they did not have a dedicated fryer so the chips listed on the menu as gluten free are not really gluten free either.

If any establishment wanted to say no vegetarians or coeliacs. This is it. The ‘option’ just means they remove food, charge the same, don’t tell you until it is served and don’t have any idea why you are annoyed. When i expressed my annoyance I was asked if I wanted extra bacon with my vegetarian meal.

Is there a gluten-free menu?
