The Laundrette
Chorlton, Manchester
07/06/2021: I went there for a few friends birthdays and they were very accommodating seating us on two adjacent booths as we were on two tables. I took a birthday cake that they offered to store in their fridge which was very helpful. We had the sharing platter to start which was delicious, I'd definitely have it again.For my main I had the tricolour salad with chicken. I would have liked to have had a few salad leaves in it, but that was my fault for not looking at the menu properly. Everyone seemed to really enjoy their food. Our server Sophie (I think, that is what she said her name was) was very helpful and loved my dog Murphy that I took along with us, she got him a water bowl. They also gave us sparklers in our drinks for the birthday girls and a sparkler in the cake they brought out for us. Excellent service. There were lots of delicious things on the menu, so I'll definitely be back to try out more food and delicious cocktails.
07/06/2021: We always enjoy going here due to the atmosphere , great food and friendly staff especially Stacey. We had a slight issue with the roast dinner we had which she rectified for us.

Ice & Slice At The Kiln
Street North, Mendip
09/03/2024: Whenever I go to a restaurant I always look up beforehand to see if I can eat there as I’m gluten free so this review is purely just for information for anyone else doing that. The service at ice and slice was very friendly, the atmosphere is great, the cocktails are very nice and the food does look good so not a reflection on that at all. The manager was also really apologetic to our situation and there are no issues there with the service at all it was just an unfortunate situation, we were grateful to the manager for their compensation of our drinks in recognition that we had to move restaurant to dine elsewhere.
There are other reviews stating gluten free is well catered here, and if you are a non coeliac who needs gluten free that is true there are lots of options including gluten free pizza which is great. I thought I had done my research before and figured I would be fine. I had planned on avoiding pizza and just having something from main menu
However, anyone who is Coeliac there is nothing you can eat here as everything on the menu is prepared in the woodfired oven (not just the pizzas) and cross contamination just cannot be avoided despite the staffs best efforts. There is no other method of cooking and the other small oven in the back is used for gluten containing ingredients.
The team will do their best to try to prepare things in a way which reduces risk however ultimately the way that the food is prepared, dining as a coeliac here just isn’t feasible and nothing on the menu, even if naturally gluten free, can be considered safe.
My genuine suggestions to help the restaurant if they really want to get it right for the gf community but continue to make the fab offering they already do without changing things massively:
1. Please remove the wording ‘gluten FREE’ from their menus and make it clear that they offer ‘non gluten containing ingredients’ or ‘gluten friendly’ options
2. Please put a visible disclaimer about the kitchen situation on both the website and the menus and a line that whilst you can cater gluten free you unfortunately cannot guarantee the food is safe for those with coeliac disease.
3. if you *do* want to be able to help coeliac diners consider having some schar gf pizza bases kept in the back and keep the small oven only used for naturally gluten free ingredients so in future, anyone who isn’t prepared to risk the woodfired oven has at least an option to eat *something* with you.
An example of somewhere that does things really well is the chain of pubs that have the bulls head, the swan and the joiners arms who also have a woodfired oven. They state very clearly (and correctly) they cannot do gf pizzas in the oven at all and explain why. I would direct the manager of ice and slice to take a look at their website and their allergen information section.
No kitchen, unless fully gluten free can guarantee no risk and those with coeliac disease understand that and choose the level of risk they are comfortable with, not even places like Prezzo who are coeliac uk accredited can fully guarantee no risk. What we do need is just need transparency and for places that claim they cater gluten free to FULLY understand the nuances of making that claim and going beyond just ‘it’s got no gluten ingredients in it so we can put gf on our menu’. It’s so disheartening to be excited that a restaurant can cater because ‘gf’ is written all over the place to then find out that they actually can’t really. I guess it’s no different to claiming a dish is vegetarian but frying it in the same pan as some meat (not suggesting ice and slice do this, just an analogy)
Re-iterating again just to finish that aside from the gf stuff… the restaurant itself and the staff - absolutely spot on vibes and service.
09/03/2024: Absolutely overpriced Food and lack of food on the plate for a Starter?
I was biting my tongue after being Charged £130 for 4 not so nice pizzas and 3 drinks and 2 starters that was hardly anything on the plate £8.50 a starter was absolutely not worth it.
£16.50 a pizza better off going to a local fast food they are much better quality.
Dissatisfied with paying Michelin Star prices for such little Quality food.
Never again and Also there is very limited Choice on the Menus regarding Food ?
Just my Opinion So I’m sorry if it offends

Poco Pizza
Lyme Regis, West Dorset, <20£
25/11/2023: Delicious pizza, and generous too. The young people manning it were charming and efficient, and clearly enjoyed what they were doing. It was obvious a lot of effort had gone into creating a welcoming atmosphere. We shall be going again.
16/11/2023: Lovely friendly venue, we could even take the dog on the outside heated terrace.
The gluten free pizza, had the best pizza base I have ever eaten. However you do need to let them know in advance if you want one, but worth making the effort.
Delicious pizza, friendly staff and a lovely view across Lyme bay.

11/03/2024: I organised a works night out and we had a fantastic night with drinks and a buffet in the basement. The staff couldn't been more helpful and a big shout out to Katie who looked after us. Would definitely recommend a visit.
11/03/2024: Came for bottomless brunch on Saturday , upgraded to the cocktail menu for £40 and was definitely value for money , offered refills when we still had half a drink left and were given a last orders notice to get another drink. Food was brilliant and there was more than enough for 2 people

Tiggis Xpress

26/11/2023: Visited today for the Sunday roast which I’d heard good reviews about…… safe to say it totally lived up to its reputation !! The food was delicious and there was plenty of it
Staff were delightful and attentive and the overall ambience of the restaurant made me (single female) feel I could happily & comfortably eat there alone

Parran Dairy
Perranporth, Cornwall,Isles of Scilly
26/08/2023: This place has become a regular stop for us on our holiday for an after-meal treat. They make the ice cream on site and have loads of flavours plus extras like flakes and marshmallows to sprinkle on. As well as ice cream they do pizza, waffles, crepes and sundaes. Hidden gem with fabulous ice cream. The salty caramel is not to be missed!
01/06/2023: We come to Perranporth every May holidays, and every time this is our ‘go to’ ice cream spot.
Firstly, the ice cream is absolutely delicious, huge selection of flavours (gutted everywhere has stopped doing cherry Bakewell flavour though, it was the most amazing ice cream I have ever had).
It is pretty much always busy but there are lots of staff on and you never queue for that long.
BUT the thing that makes this place special to us is the care they take with food allergies.
Our daughter has coeliac, we have to make a bit of a nuisance of ourselves in these places asking for the scoop to be replaced / cleaned in case of contact with wafers and cones containing gluten, daughter has a very low tolerance and quite severe reaction to gluten and wheat.
You always worry, particularly with new, young staff, but EVERY year Perran Dairy is consistently brilliant. No matter how busy or which staff member, they immediately tell you they will cleanse / replace the scoop, change gloves, wash hands and ensure that the ice cream you’ve ordered is safe for you.
It sounds like such a basic and obvious thing but it is SO reassuring and makes our daughter feel like she is well looked after and not a ‘problem’.
Trust us Perran Dairy, not everyone is as on top of their game as you are, some are downright dangerously ignorant (Lobster Pot, Padstow e.g. AVOID!!!) keep doing what you are doing, and thank you for doing it so well.

Bar Room Bar
City and Hunslet, Leeds
28/04/2016: es un bar muy bien acondicionado y con una gran atención. He tomado cerveza como nunca antes. Gran calidad.
18/05/2014: Vine en solo el viernes por la noche. A diferencia de los más populares restaurantes en esta zona, era tranquilo, encantador ambiente, el personal muy atento. La pizza del picante era absolutamente precioso, preparado por dos chefs que entráramos en que desde la parte de atrás. Fue un hallazgo precioso tengo la intención de regresar periódicamente con amigos. Un lugar que puede venir y ser tú mismo, independientemente de su fondo, la sexualidad, clase, etc. encontrar una buena y volveremos ...

Gasparro's
Berwick North, Northumberland
05/11/2020: There are several restaurants on Bridge Street, but this little Italian was a highlight for us. The menu is short but everything on it is freshly cooked and well-presented.
28/10/2020: The food was excellent with enough time between courses to allow time. Appeared to have a full menu. And most importantly great social distancing measures in place felt totally safe

Hooker & Eight
Westgate, Gloucester
28/01/2024: The pizza is chef's kiss. Crispy and fluffy base with fresh flavorsome toppings. Really like the option to combine your own toppings. The staff are really nice and the vibe is relaxed and friendly.
05/10/2023: What a great find. From start to finish the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Being rugby fans, and eating here after watching Gloucester v the Barbarians, the decor is great. Plenty of rugby shirts & paintings. The choices were great, I needed gluten free which needs to be ordered in advance, which is detailed on their website. Must say this was the best gf pizza I have had, well done chef. All the food was served freshly cooked, hot & delicious. We all cleared our plates which shows how good it was. We added extras of Halloumi fries, mozzarella sticks and the nice & spicy tubby dust fries. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area. This is now called Dough from Dough if you are looking for it.
