Published by Bex - Posts may contain affiliate links - Oven Temperature Conversion Guide

Heading to the theatre? Or just sightseeing? It’s hungry work! Here’s the 20 BEST places to eat gluten free in Covent Garden, London 2020, including a few dairy free and vegan options too.

If you’re heading to Covent Garden in London for the day, you might worry about where to eat… but you really don’t need to! There’s tons of cafes, restaurants and even places for afternoon tea for you to choose from. Here’s the 20 BEST places to eat gluten free in Covent Garden, London 2020…

1. Afternoon Tea at One Aldwych, 1 Aldwych, London WC2B 4BZ

One Aldwych is the place to go for gluten free in Covent Garden if you want something a little bit special.

Also, if you’re looking to stay over, it’s one of my favourite Covent Garden hotels for many, many reasons – keep scrolling to find out why!

Their afternoon tea is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory themed and it’s an absolute dream – I mean, just look at the photo below… ?

They can cater for all dietary requirements (just let them know at least 48 hours ahead) and prepared us an entirely gluten free, dairy free afternoon tea with no onion or garlic.

Above, we had lemon cotton candy, mini berry Eton mess, chocolate orange mouse, a red velvet cake pop and a glass of mint chocolate milk.

(They also gave us mini financiers, scones and lemon cakes too on the side – all gluten free and dairy free as requested!)

The scones were divine, as were the sandwiches and cakes that you can see in the photo. The tea and/or cocktails are fabulous too…

Mark had lemon sherbert tea and I had an unreal strawberry cocktail which was all smoky when it arrived at the table! I would 110% recommend a special trip here if you’re looking for gluten free in Covent Garden as we cannot wait to go back!

2. Indigo at One Aldwych, 1 Aldwych, London WC2B 4BZ

And it only gets better at One Aldwych!

One Aldwych also have an amazing restaurant called Indigo which is 100% gluten free and dairy free as standard. Yep, everything on the menu.

(I’d imagine a lot of people visit the restaurant without any dietary requirements and really enjoy themselves without ever knowing!)

From gluten free and dairy free fish and chips, to gluten free and dairy free cheesecake – there really is something for everyone.

One Aldwych is a hotel so you could also book yourself in for a special stay – it’s worth it for the gluten free and dairy free breakfast, trust me!

Well, I’ve never actually stayed here, but it’s on my hit list for the immediate future.

3. Honest Burgers, 33 Southampton St, Covent Garden, London WC2E 7HE

My love for Honest Burger is never ending.

It is, in my opinion, the best place to enjoy a gluten free burger in Covent Garden and also in the whole of London as they’re everywhere these days!

Honest Burger is incredibly good with allergens, for the simple fact that so much of their menu is naturally gluten free.

They only have one gluten containing product, the gluten bread bun, and they keep everything very separate.

For us, they have a gluten free bun and even the onion rings are gluten free. The beef, chicken and vegan burger especially, are all delicious.

Trust me on this one – you cannot visit London without a trip to Honest Burger!

4. Yaki Yaki, 4 New Row, Covent Garden, London WC2N 4LH

I love Yaki Yaki!

They make gluten free fish-shaped waffles and then fill them soft serve ice cream. Plus, you order mini fish taiyaki that are filled with custard, Nutella and red bean that are gluten free, as well as savoury gluten free fish shaped sandwiches.

It’s one of my favourite places in Covent Garden and come rain or shine you will find me with a fish cone filled with vanilla and matcha ice cream.

They have a range of toppings for the ice cream, but make sure you ask which ones are gluten free as not all of them are.

They also serve a gluten-containing . pastry item which are kept separate as they are not gluten free.

Whenever I have visited they are very understanding of cross contamination and I would definitely recommend Yaki Yaki for gluten free in Covent Garden!

5. El Pollote @ Seven Dials Market, Earlham St, London WC2H 9LX

Seven Dials Market is an undercover food market that opened in 2019. It’s something the Covent Garden area has been crying out for in my opinion.

(I think it used to be a mini shopping arcade or something like that a few years ago)

Fortunately for us gluten free folk there is a very friendly fried chicken place there on the ground floor called El Pollote.

Everything is gluten free here (except the burger buns which I was told are kept away from everything else) which means no worrying about separate fryers!

From fried chicken arepas, to guava-glazed wings and delicious yuca fries with crumbled feta on top – this place is unreal and you’d never know any of it was gluten free.

It’s open everyday from 12pm onwards and there’s lots of room inside to sit and enjoy your food, which is especially great if it’s raining outside.

Oh and there is a cocktail bar to the side for all your drinking needs!

6. Lola’s Cupcakes, 14-18 Neal St, London WC2H 9LY

You’ll probably see a lot of Lola’s cupcake shops all over London and there is a perfectly placed one in Covent Garden for us gluten free folks.

(you can’t miss Lola’s vibrant shopfront!)

Lola’s Cupcakes do 3 different gluten free cupcakes which are all made at a dedicated gluten free bakery.

You’ll find them already boxed up, away from all the other cakes.

I’d recommend the chocolate and raspberry one – it’s delicious. They also do a chocolate one that is both gluten free and vegan too.

There’s nothing major in the way of gluten free bakeries in the area especially, which makes Lola’s Cupcakes one of the best and most convenient places for a cheeky gluten free treat.

7. Browns, 82-84 St Martin’s Ln, Covent Garden, London WC2N 4AG

Browns is in a perfect location for many of the theatres surrounding Covent Garden. The building is beautiful and the food is even more so!

They serve up contemporary British classics and definitely have something for everyone. Best of all, Browns has a dedicated gluten free menu and they’re accredited by Coeliac UK.

From steak and half roasted chicken to monkfish and risotto, the menu is bursting with options.

The dessert menu is great too and if you’re in the area at breakfast, they have a gluten free breakfast menu too.

8. Dishoom, 12 Upper St Martin’s Ln, London WC2H 9FB

Dishoom is an Indian restaurant not far from Covent Garden, and a very popular one at that!

It always seems to have a queue out the door, but I’d say that shows it must be worth a visit! I wouldn’t say it’s your classic Indian restaurant, the menu is very different from any other Indian I’ve ever visited.

It has an almost street food vibe and the food is great to share. They have a gluten free menu and when I visited (a long time ago now) and the service was excellent.

I’ve heard amazing things about the breakfast options at Dishoom too!

9. Côte Brasserie, 50-51 St Martin’s Ln, Covent Garden, London WC2N 4EA

I’ve never had a bad meal at Côte and luckily there are 2 very close to Covent Garden.

The gluten free menu is really extensive with lots of choice to suit everyone. I always recommend Côte to people if they’re not sure where to go.

You really can’t go wrong with it!

10. Pho, 65A Long Acre, Covent Garden, London WC2E 9JD

I’ve been going to Pho for years. It was a staple place for me when I was at university in Brighton.

Pho is Coeliac UK accredited and only the spring rolls contain gluten (they didn’t use to but they do these days) as well as the hoisin sauce and beer.

One of my favourite dishes is the bun noodles which does come with a spring roll, so just ask for it without.

Pho is a great place if you want to eat fairly quickly but still in a nice restaurant setting. If you haven’t tried Vietnamese food before, I would definitely recommend it!

11. Wild Food Cafe, 1st Floor, 14 Neal’s Yard, London WC2H 9DP

Wild Food Cafe is situated in Neal’s Yard, you have to go up some stairs to get to it, but then you get a great view over the yard.

It’s an entirely plant-based restaurant with plenty of gluten free options – another one of my personal fave places for gluten free in Covent Garden.

They always have a good selection of fresh salads, juices and smoothies and it’s such a lovely place to sit and eat in.

(as you can see in the photo below!)

But for me the desserts are the biggest pull, especially their rainbow cheesecake. It’s like eating a unicorn!

12. Farmstand, 42 Drury Ln, Covent Garden, London WC2B 5AJ

Now, Farmstand used to be 100% gluten free, this is no longer the case unfortunately.

(they’ve since introduced a few different types of bread which are NOT gluten free)

However, the majority of the menu remains being gluten free and everything is clearly marked on the menu.

I’ve regularly visited Farmstand for one of their little boxes – you can fill it with a main (think harissa chicken, aubergine curry, miso salmon, sesame beef) and then add a couple of sides too.

I’ve always loved visiting Farmstand for gluten free in Covent Garden as they have been very understanding of my onion and garlic issues and helped me find the right dishes to suit me.

13. Zizzi, 20 Bow St, Covent Garden, London WC2E 7AW

I’ve always been a big Zizzi’s fan and I hope that never changes!

I love their gluten free pizza base and the fact they always put a gluten free sticker on your plate so you know your meal is definitely the right one.

They also offer gluten free pasta, risotto and meat/fish options. There’s always a good selection of starters and desserts too.

When I’m looking for somewhere easy that I know I can trust I very often go to Zizzi!

14. Pizza Express, 9-12 Bow St, Covent Garden, London WC2E 7AH

Another place that’s perfect for gluten free in Covent Garden is Pizza Express.

(I really hope it doesn’t shut down soon like they’re saying it will!)

I know they are dotted all over the country but sometimes you want to have food somewhere that you know is good.

Aaaand that’s exactly what having a Pizza Express in Covent Garden is for!

15. Flat Iron, 17-18 Henrietta St, Covent Garden, London WC2E 8QH

Flat Iron is a steak restaurant to end all steak restaurants. If you don’t like steak… well you should go and try the steak here anyway!!

You will likely be converted! The steak is amazing and the chips are scrummy too. They really understand allergens so you don’t need to worry.

I also really love the Covent Garden venue as it has such a lovely buzz about it and it’s really centrally located.

The only thing with Flat Iron is that you can’t book a table, so make sure you get there a little earlier if it’s for dinner!

16. Chipotle, 92-93 St Martin’s Ln, Covent Garden, London WC2N 4AP

Fortunately for those of us searching for gluten free in Covent Garden, there’s a Chipotle right around the corner.

Nearly everything at Chipotle in the UK is gluten free – just not the flour tortillas. So what does that mean you can order?

You can order delicious burrito bowls with a side of corn chips and be more than satisfied!

Just make sure you don’t leave without having a margarita or two too!

17. Bella Italia, 28 Wellington St, Covent Garden, London WC2E 7PS – OR – 70 St Martin’s Ln, Covent Garden, London WC2N 4JS

There are a couple of Bella Italias within easy reach of Covent Garden.

Over recent years I’ve become more and more impressed with Bella Italia and their gluten free options.

They have a proper gluten free menu and your order comes with a flag to identify it as gluten free. More places need to do this!!

Pizzas, pastas, starters and desserts can all be made gluten free so there should be something for everyone 🙂

18. Bills, St Martin’s Courtyard, Slingsby Pl, London WC2E 9AB

Bills is a really nice place to go for dinner, lunch or brunch for gluten free in Covent Garden. They have a separate fryer so can offer the rosemary salted fries with burgers and steaks etc.

Not all Bills have a separate frier so please double check that the one you go to does!! My local one doesn’t so I can’t ever have the chips 🙁

The menu is really extensive and I’ve always liked the surroundings in Bills – definitely somewhere to think about going for gluten free in Covent Garden.

19. TGI Fridays, 6 Bedford St, Covent Garden, London WC2E 9HZ

Very close to Covent Garden you’ll find a TGI Fridays – an expected great place for gluten free these days!

They have a gluten free menu with lots of the things you would want to order at TGIs on it, if you could eat anything.

For example, burgers, steaks, bbq chicken (mmm!) and they even have a gluten free kids menu too.

What I find reassuring whenever I visit TGIs is that the manager always comes and takes your order (same I find in Bills actually). Oh and of course the drinks are great too!

20. Nandos, 66-68, Chandos Pl, Covent Garden, London WC2N 4HG

Everyone loves Nandos right?!

Well personally I’ve found (and heard from so many other people too) that Nandos is really great for gluten free.

They understand cross contamination very well and always clean down their grills when asked. I always make sure I clearly explain that I’m gluten free when ordering and I’ve never had a problem.

Plus the chips are gluten free as standard too. Sometimes all you fancy is a Nandos!

21. Sticks’n’Sushi, 11 Henrietta St, Covent Garden, London WC2E 8PY

I am such a big sushi fan and I’ve always found Sticks’n’Sushi to be a really strong choice for gluten free.

There’s lots of options and lots can be altered to make it gluten free as well.

The staff were really friendly when we visited and very understanding of my dietary requirements.

The venue itself is really nice to and really close to the centre of Covent Garden so make sure you drop by.

And that’s where you can eat gluten free in Covent Garden, London!

10+ BEST places for gluten free fish and chips in London

Published by Bex - Posts may contain affiliate links - Oven Temperature Conversion Guide

So many of you guys have been asking where you can get gluten free fish and chips in London… so here they are! Here’s the 10+ BEST places for gluten free fish and chips in London…

Funnily enough, as so many of you have been asking, Mark and I have decided to cook gf fish and chips in our cooking demo at the Allergy Show in July! Hopefully we will make it look easy enough to do at home (I hope so anyway ?!!) But, here are the 10+ BEST places for gluten free fish and chips in London…

1) Hobsons, 9 Porchester Rd, London W2 5DP

My first stop for gluten free fish and chips in London is Hobsons.

Hobsons is situated over in West London, not far from Royal Oak and Bayswater tube stations. It’s a family run fish and chip shop and receives it’s fish daily from Billingsgate Fish Market ?

This little gem has a dedicated fryer for gluten free fish and chips. Therefore it can offer gluten free all week, rather than just on select days which is never a bad thing!

You can eat in within their restaurant or have gluten free fish and chips to takeaway. So if you’re after gluten free battered cod, haddock or plaice this is the place for you.

There are also gluten free onion rings on the menu as well as gluten free cod bites for the kids – perfect.

2) Olley’s Fish Experience, 65-69 Norwood Rd, Herne Hill, SE24 9AA

Olley’s is situated 2 minutes walk from Herne Hill railway station which you reach via Victoria. It’s only a 9 minute train journey so well worth it!

Olley’s offers gluten free every single day on request. There’s an extensive menu which you can view on their website ahead of visiting if you wish. You absolutely must try their starters: gluten free battered calamari and homemade fish cakes, alongside your classic gluten free fish and chips.

The drinks menu even contains gluten free beer for those that fancy it. You can eat in at the restaurant or get a takeaway and sit in Brockwell Park if you fancy.

3) The Chipping Forecast, 29 All Saints Rd, Notting Hill, W11 1HE AND 58 Greek St, Soho, W1D 3DY

The Chipping Forecast has the best name for a fish and chip shop ever! They actually have two shops – one in Notting Hill and the other in Soho – both with gluten free options. It’s great to have somewhere central in Soho for us gluten free folk as I always find myself in or around that area!

First and foremost, The Chipping Forecast is a restaurant, but they also offer takeaway which is perfect with all the places you can sit out and about in London on a nice day.

They offer beer battered fish and chips (cod, hake and haddock) but what’s even better in my opinion is that they offer gluten free scampi! Our prayers have been answered!

Everything gluten free is cooked in a dedicated fryer with separate oil which is great. And they also have gluten free beer too!

4) The Mayfair Chippy, 14 N Audley St, Mayfair, W1K 6WE AND 140 Minories, EC3N 1NT my fave for gluten free fish and chips in London

The Mayfair Chippy is a funny one that doesn’t like to shout about the fact they offer gluten free. In fact, walking past the restaurant, you would have *no idea* whatsoever, yet they’ve been offering gluten free for ages.

They cook their gluten free fish and chips in a separate fryer and are very up on cross contamination. The restaurant in North Audley Street is so conveniently placed being only a 3 minute walk from Selfridges on Oxford Street and the Minories location is only 10 minutes walk from Liverpool Street Station.

The Mayfair Chippy also does a vegan fish and chips (a jackfruit fillet) and a veggie option of battered halloumi which I had in the photo above. I’d highly recommend it – it was AMAZING. I even had a battered wally on the side too!

5) Oliver’s Fish and Chips, 95 Haverstock Hill, Belsize Park, NW3 4RL

I always seem to be walking past Oliver’s as it’s not far from Camden at all. Unlike other places, there’s always a big sign in the window saying they offer gluten free! They actually offer gluten free every day except Fridays.

They used to only serve it on Wednesdays so hopefully that means there has been a rise in demand! For gluten free, they use separate oil and have a very similar menu to Hobsons that I mentioned above (I believe they are run by the same people – don’t quote me on that though!)

They do have a lovely, intimate restaurant so I’d defo recommend booking for that. Getting a takeaway isn’t a bad idea though as you’re not far from the beautiful setting of Primrose Hill. They’re also not open on Mondays.

6) Brockley’s Rock, 317 Brockley Rd, Brockley, SE4 2QZ

Another South London fish and chip shop that offers gluten free (like Olley’s Fish Experience) is Brockley’s Rock. Brockley’s has gluten free on the menu from Sunday to Thursday (so not Friday or Saturday).

They use a separate pan, utensils and storage for all gluten free food to ensure there isn’t cross contamination. They offer cod, haddock, plaice, rock and mackerel as gluten free fried fish options but do also offer salmon and seabass grilled if you are looking for a slightly lighter alternative.

There are lots of ways to get down to this part of South East London, but popping on a train from London Bridge for 10 minutes down to Brockley station is probably the best idea.

7) Leadbellys, Montreal House, Market Pl, Rotherhithe, SE16 7AQ

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bk94THQAGrv/

Leadbellys is a restaurant situated right outside Canada Water underground station. It’s a restaurant with a 98% gluten free menu which includes their very delicious gluten free fish and chips!

They do offer plenty of other colourful cuisines too, so if you are in a group and not everyone fancies fish and chips then this place is probably the perfect place! The entire menu is fab, no matter what you pick.

They even do gluten free calamari on the bar snacks menu too, so don’t miss out on that!

8) Mommi, 44-48 Clapham High St, Clapham, SW4 7UR

If you are looking for a slightly different take on gluten free fish and chips, look no further than Mommi in Clapham. Mommi is a Coeliac UK accredited restaurant with a menu filled with soooo much gluten free choice.

But as we are talking gluten free fish and chips let’s get right to that! Mommi serves up their famous ‘Nikkei Tempura Fish and Chips’ which is a gluten free tempura battered fish (served in bite-sized pieces) served with Cassava fries. It’s a little different, but it’s so good!

The rest of the menu is well worth a nosey through as well, as much of it is gluten free as standard and they do great drinks too! Clapham itself is a lovely area of London to hang out in. For Mommi, get off the tube at Clapham North station, it isn’t far.

9) The Dove, 24-28 Broadway Market, E8 4QJ

I talk about my love of Broadway Market a lot as the market is on each Saturday, but there is so much more to this street than just literally the Saturday market!

The Dove is a pub which you might ordinarily just walk past, but please don’t!! They offer gluten free fish and chips ? Not only do they offer gluten free fish and chips, but they also offer gluten free tofu and chips for those looking to eat vegetarian and vegan.

It’s definitely not one to miss out on, especially as you can also visit the Saturday market at the same time. Check out my guide as you need to know what you’d be missing out on if you don’t go!!

The best way to get to Broadway Market is via the train from Liverpool Street to London Fields (it takes less than 10 minutes).

10) Shakey Shakey Fish Bar, Broadway Market, E8 4QJ

Now, this is a market stall rather than a restaurant, but well worth visiting and once again… it’s a Broadway Market find! It’s also 100% plantbased so I guess we should say ‘fish’ and chips!

(yes I was doing air quotes with my hands there!)

Their batter is all gluten free and their choices are literally amazing, I don’t know how they do it to be honest! The battered ‘prauns’ are really incredible and the ‘Tofish’ and chips is a fab alternative to regular fish.

They do have a proper shop down in Kent, but you can’t beat getting gluten free street food and sitting down to eat it in the park (London Fields). As I mentioned Shakey Shakey is at Broadway Market so just on a Saturday from 10-5.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if we see their stall popping up in more places across London as time goes on!

11) The Old Shades, 37 Whitehall, Westminster, SW1A 2BX

The Old Shades is a proper classic pub not far from Trafalgar Square. They have a separate gluten free menu with plenty of British classics on it, one of them being gluten free fish and chips!

(if that took you by surprise then you clearly haven’t been paying attention to this guide!)

They also do a lovely sounding gluten free fish pie if you want your fish and chips served up in a very different way!!

You’re not far from Charring Cross or Embankment here and it’s also only a 10 minute walk to Covent Garden, so the location couldn’t be better.

And that’s where you can enjoy gluten free fish and chips in London!

Gluten free afternoon tea at The Corinthia, London

Published by Bex - Posts may contain affiliate links - Oven Temperature Conversion Guide

For someone who’s website is known as Gluten Free Cuppa Tea, I’ve had shockingly few afternoon tea experiences in my life. But that ends now! First stop – The Corinthia Hotel in London!

I don’t think you can get much fancier than The Corinthia! It was a beautiful setting, but how well do they cater for us gluten free folk? Here’s how I got on…

When it comes to thinking of where to go for afternoon tea, I always think of heading to all the fancy London hotels first of all.

One hotel I’ve been wanting to visit for years is The Corinthia so that’s exactly where I thought I would start on my afternoon tea adventures!

The Corinthia hosts it’s afternoon tea in the Crystal Moon Lounge. It’s such a stunning venue with a Baccarat chandelier that dazzles like a full moon and a pianist that effortlessly plays all afternoon whilst you relax.

(check out the chandelier in the pic below – do you think it’d fit in my living room?!)

I really felt like I was somewhere very special so that’s a big tick for the setting.

Before booking, I let The Corinthia know that I would need a gluten free afternoon tea and also gave them all my other dietary requirements too.

(including garlic and onion which I struggle to tolerate)

Fortunately, they said this wouldn’t be a problem at all. I always recommend telling a restaurant ahead of time about your dietary requirements – it helps them prepare ahead of time and it also takes away the stress of eating out to some degree!

Now, I’m not the most adventurous when it comes to tea, so I opted for the fresh mint. For me, it’s the perfect tea to have alongside a meal that I know is going to fill me up.

The Corinthia has a selection of bespoke tea blends which maybe I’ll try one day when I’m feeling brave!

The sandwiches came first and were totally delicious and so perfectly made.

I had a variety of fillings, from egg to smoked salmon, but the cucumber, radish and cream cheese sarnie was my personal fave! The gluten free bread was lovely too, no holey bread in sight and I was even offered a second round too.

(I declined as there was still scones and dessert to come!!)

Next up came what I had been looking forward to – the scones.

Whilst the gluten free scones didn’t come served in the cute boxes that the regular scones came in, they were all that I was hoping for and more. The ‘more’ being the rhubarb and tonka bean jam alongside the clotted cream. It was an amazing combo – tonka bean has a bit of a vanilla-like taste to it!

We did have quite a lengthy debate on whether we should add jam or cream first. I added jam first, but I won’t judge you if you do it the other way around!!

Then came the main event… the cakes!

Again, my cakes were served on a separate plate on the dessert trolley to avoid any cross contamination.

My selection included the most delicious fresh macaron I’ve ever had and a rich, moist chocolate brownie. I’d usually frown upon a chocolate brownie, but this one was next level!

There was also a decadent chocolate mousse and creamy, meringue fruit pots which were absolutely lovely.

I’m not gonna lie though. After seeing what my fellow gluten-eating guests were having, I immediately craved a tart or an eclair of some sort!!

But overall, it was a great selection that was presented beautifully and done to such a high standard.

I honestly couldn’t have been better looked after either. The staff were friendly, attentive and knowledgable from the moment I arrived. I loved how they were all very aware of cross contamination.

They actually announced to the entire table that no one was to touch my jam, clotted cream or the spoons that came with them.

(if only I could employ that guy to follow me around and announce cross contamination rules to the room whenever I eat!)

I also noticed on our table that I was the only one with red striped crockery (everyone else had black). So I wondered whether this had something to do with differentiating my gluten free offerings… I assume so!

To finish off what was a wonderful afternoon, we got to check out one of The Corinthia’s Penthouses – and omg.

I’m not sure I will ever get the chance to go in one again! It was absolutely incredible and the picture below is of me standing on the rooftop terrace of the two floored penthouse. I should have just hidden in a cupboard and stayed there!

I really did have a fabulous time at The Corinthia. Their gluten free afternoon tea offerings were brilliant alongside the setting and service.

I’d love to go back and experience more of what the hotel has to offer too. I’ve heard great things about the spa!

Anyway, onwards to my next afternoon tea experience! I hope for there to be many more on the blog in the coming months. If anyone has any recommendations in London or beyond, then please let me know!

Thanks for reading,

5 reasons you need to visit Yorica! in London ASAP

Published by Mark - Posts may contain affiliate links - Oven Temperature Conversion Guide

Ok, so I never really ever need an excuse to visit my fave free from ice cream parlour. But here’s 5 reasons you need to visit Yorica! in London ASAP if you still need a little convincing!

But where is it? Well, set your Google maps to 130 Wardour Street, W1F 8ZN and you defo won’t regret it. It’s 2 minutes from Oxford Street and 6 minutes from Covent Garden too. So now you know where it is, here’s the 5 reasons you need to visit Yorica! in London ASAP…

1. It’s free from all 14 major allergens. No way!

Yep, that’s right. All of them.

So that’s gluten free, dairy free, soy free, egg free, nut free, peanut free… and all the other ones too!

Basically, there’s no allergens on the premises, full-stop. In anything. I know. Crazy! With flavours like double choc cookie, salted caramel and popcorn (and even nut-free options like chocolate and hazel-NOT) it’s hard to believe, isn’t it?

It’s actually the first of it’s kind to be free from 14 major allergens in the whole world. Sounds like you’d better pay them a visit then!

2. It’s all 100% vegan too.

Yep, no products derived from animals in sight either. That even includes all their ice cream, toppings, frozen yoghurt, waffles, pancakes… pretty awesome, right?

Like how is that even possible?!

Even their cleaning products are vegan and cruelty free. Now that’s what I call keeping a clean sheet!

3. It’s all made in a dedicated allergen-free facility.

That means zero chance of cross contamination on anything and everything from Yorica.

So not only is there none of the 14 major allergens on the premises, but that goes for the facilities they use to produce their awesome treats too.

If Yorica can do this, then I think it’s defo time more places followed suit!

4. You can even have crepes and waffles too.

Yep, that’s right. Waffles and crepes are available and made fresh to order.

Let’s just remind ourselves that they’d all be gluten free, dairy free, egg free etc. too…

Pretty mind blowing considering that the ice cream was enough for me!

5. You’d never know it was free from anything at all.

Of course, what would be the use of something being free from all 14 allergens and vegan if it didn’t taste like all your wildest dreams in one mouthful?

Well good news for you – it does!

Not only that, but everything just looks totally on point and so Instagrammable (sorry, yes, I am one of those people!) In the 5 minutes we spent taking these photos outside Yorica, at least 3 random strangers commented on just how good they looked.

Now I don’t know about you, but I never expected anyone to be jealous of my 14 allergen free food!! Even the guy on the bike in the first photo of this post is eyeing them up – it’s hilarious!

6 of my fave gluten free places to eat at Broadway Market, London

Published by Bex - Posts may contain affiliate links - Oven Temperature Conversion Guide

For me, Broadway Market is the best gluten free market in London! The market is on every Saturday in Hackney, East London – right near London Fields station.

I’ve recently fallen in love with Broadway Market. I love London food markets, but obviously for a food market to be good it needs to have lots of gluten free offering! Fortunately for us, it’s got everything from gluten free and dairy free donuts to Scotch eggs.

Here’s my fave places to eat there!

I’ve heard good things about Broadway Market for a long time now, but only in 2017 did we venture there for the first time. It’s easy to get to, practically having an Overground stop on it’s door step.

Or, if you fancy a stroll, we have walked there a few times from Liverpool Street too.

Broadway Market’s street market is on every single Saturday from 9am – 5pm. During the rest of the week, there are plenty of shops and restaurants to enjoy along the street too.

There is such a variety of cuisines across the market and London Fields is just across the way for you to sit in and enjoy your gluten free foodie purchases. I thought I would highlight a few of the stands not to be missed by anyone, especially those on the hunt for gluten free.

These are my favourite gluten free places at Broadway Market!

1. Floris Foods

I would literally go to Broadway Market just for Floris Foods. It is 100% gluten free and has a whole host of dairy free options every single time I visit too.

They do both sweet and savoury options so whatever you fancy, there will be something for you. We always end up taking a bag of goodies home with us on the train!

(they never make it back to the house.)

My favourite item across the entirety of Broadway Market comes from Floris Foods – their gluten free and dairy free doughnuts.

I’m pretty confident that most people reading this have probably tried some sort of doughnut in their gluten free life. But if you haven’t had a Floris Foods gluten free doughnut, then you seriously haven’t lived.

They smell like the doughnuts you’ve been yearning for, as well as being light and fluffy with that all important heavenly filling in the centre.

Each doughnut has filling oozing out, many of which are also dairy free. There’s gluten free jam doughnuts, gluten free custard doughnuts, gluten free chocolate doughnuts, gluten free fresh cream doughnuts and even peanut butter & jam doughnuts.

Need I say more? I could literally write an entire blog post just on these particular balls of joy!

But that’s not all folks! Floris Foods also does the most amazing gluten free chocolate eclairs, gluten free cinnamon buns, homemade gluten free Oreos (with again a variety of fillings) and out of this world gluten free cheesecakes.

Again, nothing you have tried anywhere else will compare. They really do make those items that all gluten free folk have been craving and struggling to find, but so much better than everyone else.

Of course, they also offer a whole host of gluten free and dairy free cakes too.

In terms of savoury, Floris Foods bake their own gluten free bread which they sell fresh each Saturday.

As well as this, they serve up gluten free savoury muffins, scones, filled focaccia (the ham, ricotta and tomato one is dreamy), breadsticks, pizza bases and vegan sausage rolls, to name but a few.

So yes, Floris Foods is the one! If you are gluten free, eat everything!! If you are dairy free, what you can eat is very well labelled and the lady who runs the stall is also very helpful.

I would definitely make this your first stop of the day at Broadway Market = don’t let anyone else eat your share of those gluten free doughnuts!

Phew… and that’s just one out of six places on my list!

2. Eat ‘n’ Mess

Eat ‘n’ Mess is another place that you should never miss out on whilst visiting Broadway Market. They have an incredible selection of freshly baked gluten free goods that are to die for.

Again, this is another place that we always go to and always come away with a care package of gluten free cakes and bakes!

As with Floris Foods, I definitely have my favourite item from Eat ‘n’ Mess. The gluten free S’mores chocolate cheesecake brownies are phenomenal… oh my the biscuity base… and chocolate with marshmallow is simply a beautiful combination.

Another must try from Eat ‘n’ Mess is their gluten free Cookie Pies! I mean… just the name is enough to make you want one right?!

I really like the salted caramel and peanut butter cookie pies but they also do double chocolate cookie pies which look insane.

Their gluten free brownies, gingerbread men, loaf cakes are equally delicious too. If you’re partial to coffee cake like me, their gluten free coffee and pecan cake will definitely be going home with you!

On a side note, Eat ‘n’ Mess do in fact have their own shop/cafe however it is not based in London, it’s situated in Sevenoaks. That’s where they bake all their cakes and fresh bread, but you can also enjoy a sit down with some tea and gluten free cake there too.

Oh and one final thing about Eat ‘n’ Mess is that they can make bespoke cakes for special occasions. If you haven’t had a look, check them out on their Instagram or website as they are amazing!

3. Gujarati Rasoi

Gluten free onion bhajis anyone?

I have wandered past Gujarati Rasoi on many occasions at Broadway Market. Having already eaten my body weight in gluten free doughnuts, I usually never got around to trying anything. Until now!

I’ve always been drawn to their stall due to the most amazing aromas of Indian cooking and when I went up and had a look at what was actually cooking, I was even more excited.

So many of their dishes are gluten free (clearly labelled) and I even found Indian dishes here that were low FODMAP with no onions or garlic – result!! The Methi Butteta is an Indian potato dish which I absolutely love!

These guys seriously know what they are doing and you can tell how much everyone loves their food just by the massive queues.

The Methi Butteta alongside some rice is now my go to lunch at Broadway Market, it is the most magical blend of spices that I know you will love too. For those who can eat onion, they do what looks to be the most insane gluten free onion bhajis too!

They do also have a stall at Borough Market (six days a week) and they even have their own restaurant in Dalston that you might like to visit… we certainly will at some point soon!

4. Finest Fayre

The wonderful Finest Fayre brought me my very first taste of Broadway Market a few months ago. It was the stall we arrived at first and we were amazed by what we saw in front of us… gluten free scotch eggs.

But these aren’t just any gluten free scotch eggs… these are handmade beauties with an oozing yolk. I had mine served open, seasoned and served with a little relish, scrummy!

They also do vegetarian gluten free scotch eggs which looked equally amazing!

5. Meringue Girls

This is probably the most attractive stall at Broadway Market and it’s definitely one for us gluten free folks! As the name suggests, Meringue Girls make the most amazing… meringues!

They are bright and beautiful with only natural flavours and colourings – it’s amazing when you think about it.

At their Broadway Market stall, they often sell every colour of the rainbow in mini meringues and also a meringue that literally has every colour of the rainbow on it (what they like to call Unicorn Poo!)

They also serve up delicious mini pavlovas, and sometimes meringue-topped gluten free brownies! The Meringue Girls stall is a magical place you should definitely check out – you can’t miss it!

6. The Bach

I thought I would mention a non-market stall in this post as well. Whilst on a Saturday you generally go to Broadway Market for all the stalls, some of the resident shops and restaurants on the outside are equally worth a visit.

My favourite place to get some gluten free grub and a nice drink is The Bach. It’s a Kiwi joint which has great food and atmosphere in equal measures. Plus, they fully understand intolerances to gluten, dairy and wheat as well as providing vegan and vegetarian options.

Food wise, there are lots of gluten free options. They offer gluten free bread so you’ve got a healthy amount of brunch and lunch dishes available to you. They also often have a good selection of gluten free cakes.

The Bach I think is one of the best places in the area to just sit and chill out with a drink and a book/laptop, it’s just got such a cool vibe. Downstairs they have what looks like the coolest desk space that you can rent out – I only wish I could afford it!

So that’s that! A little guide to my greatest gluten free hits at Broadway Market. There are actually a whole host of more places that I always notice have gluten free signs up, however I haven’t yet had the chance to try them.

To be honest, the places I’ve put above are literally all you will need, otherwise you won’t be able to get home… food overload!

For me, Broadway Market is certainly the best gluten free market in London. It offers us gluten free folk so much choice and some 100% gluten free stalls too.

I would just say, always be super careful at markets just because with the tight space that the stalls have, cross contamination could be possible. But all the stall holders are incredibly friendly and clued up on allergens, so you shouldn’t have a problem!

Let me know if you get down to Broadway Market to experience the gluten free offerings it has. If you get great gluten free food from other market stalls there or if new stalls pop up, just drop a comment below and let me know (or on Facebook / Twitter / Instagram)!

Thanks for reading and happy gluten free market exploring!

30 of the BEST places for gluten free in London 2021 (+ dairy free options too)

Published by Bex - Posts may contain affiliate links - Oven Temperature Conversion Guide

If you’re on the hunt for gluten free in London, here’s 30 places you absolutely MUST visit in 2021. I’m happy to finally present to you: my ultimate gluten free guide to London (with tons of dairy free options too)…

You definitely needn’t worry about going hungry in London – especially now that you’ve found this blog post! With a little thought and planning, you can easily make sure you’re never far from somewhere that’s gluten free. When it comes to gluten free in London, you’re spoilt for choice.

Oh and there’s quite a few places with dairy free choices too, so I’ll mention them when appropriate. Let’s get started with the guide, shall we?

Disclaimer: Whilst I’ve put a lot of work into this guide and double-checking everything is gluten free – things may change over time, so always make sure you ask first and check for cross contamination before eating if needed. Enjoy!

1. Mayfair Chippy, 14 North Audley Street, W1K 6WE and 140 Minories, EC3N 1NT

For the best gluten free fish and chips in London head to the Mayfair Chippy. They don’t shout about gluten free on their menu but they can do everything battered safely in a separate fryer.

Eating in here is fab as the decor is lovely and the service is even better, but equally, you can order a takeaway.

From gluten free fish and chips, to halloumi and chips (the halloumi is INCREDIBLE!), to gluten free battered sausage and even a vegan option of battered jackfruit and tofu. The Mayfair Chippy is not somewhere to be missed on a trip to London.

2. Yorica 130 Wardour Street, Soho, W1F 8ZN

Yorica is a 100% 14 allergen free ice cream parlour. Yep, that’s right – everything they sell is gluten free, dairy free, egg free, soy free, nut free… the list goes on! It’s even 100% vegan too – but you’d never know it by looks or taste.

Not only that, but they also sell crepes and waffles too… and yes, they’re 14 allergen free – everything is! I even wrote a full blog post just on Yorica last month.

There aren’t many places that offer gluten free in London on this scale, so you absolutely need to go.

3. Cookies and Scream 130 Holloway Road, Islington, N7 8JE

Cookies and Scream is a 100% gluten free and vegan cookie & shake bar based on Holloway Road, Islington. Yep, that’s right, everything is gluten free, dairy free and egg free too.

My favourite shake has got to be the cookie dough ball shake… or the salted caramel shake… I can’t decide! Sometimes I ask them to combine both for me… and they do!

Their selection of cookies, cakes and bakes changes daily, with everything from gooey brownies, to peanut butter cookies and even cookie sandwiches too. It’s a lovely place to chill out and they even have a nice outdoor courtyard at the back.

4. Coori 289 Sandycombe Rd, Richmond TW9 3LU

Coori is a 100% gluten free restaurant that you absolutely MUST go to if you head over to Kew Gardens. It just a 7 minute walk away!

Yes, I said 100% gf! They don’t even allow gluten on the premises, so you can eat with total peace of mind.

Their menu has some amazing Italian faves but their specials change all the time and you’ll find a proper mix of other cuisines from around the world mixed in.

If you only get to eat one thing, have a gluten free pizza. The bases are AMAZING and probably one of the best I’ve ever eaten in the UK.

5. Niche 197-199 Rosebery Avenue, London, EC1R 4TJ

Niche is the restaurant that we have all been yearning for. It’s the perfect place to go for dinner in London as it’s a 100% gluten free restaurant!

The menu is vast and also offers dairy free options for those who need them too. From sausage and mash to chicken pie, from mac & cheese to gluten free fried chicken – this place has everything.

It’s very close to Angel tube station so if you’re in the area it’s a great place to go for gluten free in London, I’d recommend booking as it does get busy in the evenings, as you can imagine!!

6. Apres Food Co 72 St John St, Clerkenwell, EC1M 4DT

The Apres cafe is 100% gluten free cafe with amazing options for all times of day.

Their breakfast menu has sooo many options like breakfast cookies, porridge, granola, to a cooked breakfast. Lunch is a mix of vibrant, fresh salads, curries, noodles and other hot meals too.

Apres cafe is open in the evenings from 6:30-9:30pm now too from Mondays to Fridays for dinner too.

7. Station 26 Coldharbour Lane, Unit 26 Brixton Village Market, SW9 8PR

Yep, we’ve reached number 7 on the list which makes Station 26 the seventh 100% gluten free place on the list!

Right in the heart of Brixton Village Market, serves fusion food for lunch and dinner. Think Asian crabcakes for a starter and a chicken schnitzel for main – does it really get better than that?

They also have a brunch menu with awesome things like poached eggs on a gluten free brioche bun with Hollandaise and salmon or halloumi cheese.

(Remember that it’s closed on Mondays and Tuesdays!)

8. Leggero 64 Old Compton Street, W1D 4UQ

Based in Soho, Leggero (previously named La Polentaria) is run by Italians who know how to make the best Italian food whilst still making it 100% suitable for us gluten free folk.

Think dishes served with homemade gluten free pasta and even cheesecake and tiramisu. It’s near a lot of the West End theatres (& 2 minutes from where I once worked!) so I’d highly recommend if you are looking for authentic Italian gluten free in London. Gluten free London at its finest!

9. Indigo at One Aldwych 1 Aldwych, WC2B 4BZ

Situated in the wonderful setting of the One Aldwich hotel, Indigo is an upmarket restaurant that’s 100% gluten free AND dairy free. It’s also accredited by Coeliac UK.

They have everything on the menu from gluten free fish and chips to sticky toffee pudding and tons more traditional English options.

In One Aldwych they also do the most AMAZING gluten free afternoon tea which can be made entirely dairy free too if you fancy.

Here’s a shot of me enjoying myself! ??

10. Grom Gelato London 16-18 Piccadilly, W1J 0DF

For me, it doesn’t matter what time of year it is. If I’m in London and near Piccadilly, I’m heading to Grom and getting an ice cream in a gluten free cone!

Yep, all the cones and ice cream are 100% gluten free at Grom. There’s even a few dairy free sorbet flavours too!

Stracciatella (like a creamy choc chip) with raspberry sorbet in a gluten free chocolate and hazelnut cone from Grom.

11. Leadbelly’s Bar & Kitchen Montreal House, Market Square, SE16 7AQ

As soon as you leave the tube station at Canada Water, you can basically see Leadbelly’s right from where you stand. It’s a self-proclaimed 98% gluten free restaurant with nearly every option on the menu being gluten free.

Think gluten free fish and chips, steak and ale pie, southern-fried chicken and tons more options.

They’re even great with adapting food where needed if you can’t tolerate onion or garlic like me!

12. Honest Burgers 4A Meard Street W1F 0EF (tons of locations across London)

Honest Burger is hands down, the best spot for a burger on this list.

Their gluten free buns are amazing – plus they even do gluten free chicken wings and onion rings.

Of course, all their fries are gluten free too. This is mine and Mark’s fave spot for a fast dinner!

Honest is definitely in my top 5 recommendations for gluten free in London!

13. Leon Spitalfields Market, 3 Crispin Place E1 6DW (tons more locations across London)

Leon is essentially a healthy fast food restaurant and fortunately, you’re never far away from one.

Of course, there’s tons of light bites and salad options, but I personally love the gluten free chicken burgers and GFC (gluten free fried chicken nuggets).

It’s the perfect place for lunch on the go and it’s probably the most convenient place for gluten free in London on this list.

Gluten free fried chicken nuggets from Leon.

14. Naturally Chinese 59-63 Brighton Rd, Surbiton KT6 5LR

Naturally Chinese is the first and only Coeliac UK certified Chinese restaurant in the UK. They have a dedicated gluten free menu with tons of dumplings, spring rolls, spare ribs and tons more for starters.

In terms of mains, you’ll be spoilt for choice with roast duck, beef in black bean sauce, sweet and sour chicken, chicken curry – and that’s just a few dishes out of about twenty.

If you’ve been missing Chinese food, then Naturally Chinese is defo the place to go for gluten free in London!

15. Rossopomodoro Seven Dials 50-52 Monmouth Street WC2H 9EP

Finding pizza that’s gluten free in London seems to be more troublesome than it should be. Of course I know the chain restaurants all offer gluten free pizza, but when I visit other cities I find there are some amazing central gluten free pizza restaurants, its not as easy in London.

HOWEVER… Rossopomodoro stands out for me as being one of the very best gluten free pizzas around. You do need to let them know that you want a GF pizza in advance but it’s worth it as I have experienced some excellent pizzas here. They have quite a few restaurant locations across London so you’re never too far away from one.

16. Hobson’s Fish & Chips 9 Porchester Rd, London W2 5DP

You can’t leave London without trying a portion of Hobson’s gluten free fish and chips! They have a mini gluten free menu comprising of battered fish, onion rings and even apple crumble and sticky toffee pudding.

They fry all gluten free battered food in a separate fryer too!

17. The Bach 12 Broadway Market, E8 4QJ & 98 Hoxton St, N1 6SG

The Bach (pronounced the ‘batch’) is one of my fave spots for brunch and lunch in all of London.

Mark always goes for gluten free and dairy free blueberry pancakes and I love a gluten free toastie or something from their brunch menu.

So much of their menu can be made gluten free and it’s just generally a cool place to chill out.

A gluten free ham and cheese toastie with gluten free and dairy free blueberry pancakes from The Bach. Oh and two mojitos!

18. Selfridges Food Hall 400 Oxford St, Marylebone, W1A 1AB

The food hall in Selfridges is a glorious place if you’re gluten free! After all, it’s home to tons of Borough 22 doughnuts too.

Borough 22 make the most Instagrammable doughnuts in the UK, but they’re not just a pretty face. They’re gluten free, dairy free and vegan too.

Make sure you also check out Manna Dew in the Brass Rail cafe as they have gluten free chocolate twists and cinnamon and raisin swirls… yep gluten free pastries!

Dolly’s Cafe (on the same floor as the food hall) has even more of their amazing gluten free pastries (like apricot slices and mixed berry tarts) but you can’t take these away. You have to be seated to order them.

Worth it in my opinion!

A gluten free cornflake and sprinkles doughnut from Borough 22 in Selfridges food hall.

19. Broadway Market Broadway Market, E8 4QJ (Saturdays only)

Every Saturday, Broadway Market appears as if by magic. I’d definitely call it the best gluten free market in London.

You can check out my guide to Broadway market over here of all my fave stalls at the market.

Just as a quick whizz through, make sure you go to Floris Foods (best gluten free donuts), Eat’n’Mess (amazing cookies and cakes) and Finest Fayre (gluten free scotch eggs). Make sure you read my post linked above if you’re thinking of heading there!

20. Borough Market 8 Southwark St, London SE1 1TL

Borough market is a hotspot in London regardless, but especially on Wednesday through to Sunday when the Free From Bakehouse is there.

As you can imagine, they have tons of gluten free (and dairy free) cakes.

21. Greenwich Market 5B Greenwich Market, SE10 9HZ

If you’re near Greenwich market, it’s definitely worth stopping by – especially on a Saturday and Sunday.

At the weekends, Ruby’s of London is there showcasing some of their wonderful gluten free and vegan cakes and bakes.

But if you can’t make it there at the weekend, definitely go and check out Planet Pancakes who are there all week. They do mini gluten free pancakes with a range of toppings which are amazing!

22. Pearl and Groove 341 Portobello Rd, London W10 5SA

Pearl and Groove is another late additional to the 100% gluten free places on this list. Everything is 100% gluten free and they even have tons of dairy free and vegan options too.

Pearl and Groove are famous for their mini gluten free loaf cakes that you see in the photo below. Yes, they do taste every bit as good as they look!

But make sure you stick around brunch/lunch too!

Tons of mini gluten free loaf cakes from Pearl and Groove.

23. Chateau Chiswick 213 Chiswick High Rd, Chiswick, London W4 2DW

Chateau Chiswick is a bakery and cafe that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch or lunch with tons of gluten free options.

The main headline here is the amazing gluten free, dairy free and vegan cakes/tarts on offer. There’s tons and they all look too good to eat!

24. Farmacy 74-76 Westbourne Grove, London W2 5SH

Farmacy is a healthy 100% vegan restaurant in Notting Hill with tons of gluten free options. Their dessert menu is especially awesome with a warm chocolate chip cookie and a glass of almond milk as well as a banana bread and peanut butter pudding.

We love going there for brunch purely for their chocolate chip waffles and house pancakes which are both gluten free, dairy free and vegan! I’m pretty sure brunch is only available at weekends though, so bear that in mind.

(though they did make us brunch specially for us during the week when we asked!)

There’s tons of cool, trendy vegan options for breakfast and dinner too, but we both struggle to tolerate onion and garlic so weren’t really able to try them ourselves. Let me know how they are!

25. Romeo’s Sugar Free Bakery 178 Upper Street N1 1RG

Another Islington bakery that offers plenty of gluten free is Romeo’s Sugar Free Bakery! As the name suggests, Romeo’s prides itself on being sugar free. Nearly all the cakes on offer are gluten free and many are both dairy free and vegan too.

They look beautiful and taste even better, the gluten free mille-feuille is amazing! They also do gluten free crepes at the weekend which I’d highly recommend trying out.

26. Bird 42-44 Kingsland Road E2 8DA (more locations across London)

If you are on the lookout for gluten free fried chicken in London then Bird is a great option for you.

All of their fried chicken is prepared without gluten so there is definitely something delicious on the menu for you to choose.

They also do a wide range of made in house sauces which are the perfect dipping accompaniment to your gluten free fried chicken!

27. Dishoom 12 Upper St Martin’s Lane WC2H 9FB (more locations across London)

Dishoom is a great option if you are looking for gluten free Indian food across London. There are 4 Dishoom restaurants, all centrally located across the capital, all with extensive gluten free menus.

There is plenty on offer from gluten free curries to traditional Indian desserts. What I like most about Dishoom is that it feels very authentic!

28. Vida Bakery 139 Brick Ln, E1 6SB

Vida Bakery is a bakery that’s completely vegan, with loads of gluten free options too. The head baker of Vida Bakery, Dani, is a Coeliac herself and they do not handle any wheat flour in their kitchen. It’s 99% gluten free, with the 1% of gluten being that they use things like Oreo’s on one of their vegan options.

But it’s one of the only bakeries that I’ve ever seen where you can buy a slice of gluten free rainbow cake!

They also have tons of cupcakes (even one with a mini gf doughnut on top) with lots of gluten free flavours to choose from. You’re defo going to find something cute and Instagrammable here!

29. Cupcakes and Shhht 10 The Artworks, Elephant Rd, London SE17 1AY

Whilst you can go to Cupcakes and Shhht for brunch, most of their best gluten free options lie in their vast selection of gluten free and vegan cakes.

They do some of the best gluten free cupcakes in London as well as some amazing cookie sandwiches too.

30. Flat Iron 47-51 Caledonian Road, Kings Cross N1 9BU (tons more locations across London)

Flat Iron have tons of locations across London and if you’re looking for a good steak with gluten free friendly sides, then you’ve found your calling.

They have one option for your steak – the flat iron steak. And that’s it! Then you choose your sides – from chips, to side salads, roasted vegetables and a sauce. It’s simple yet soooo good!

31. Farmstand 42 Drury Lane, WC2B 5AJ

If you’re looking for a fresh, healthier gluten free option for lunch on the go, look no further than Farmstand. Most of what they offer is gluten free.

When you walk up to order, you’ll immediately feast your eyes on a colourful banquet of dishes and sides to choose from. It’s the sort of place where you pick your protein, then your veggies and sides with it. What you end up with is a beautiful box of deliciousness!

The staff were really helpful when it came to asking about what did and didn’t contain onion/garlic (which I’m intolerant to) so I’d definitely go back on the regular. They even do gluten free muffins too!

Supermarkets you can visit for gluten free in London

Wholefoods

Wholefoods is a great place for picking up gluten free and vegan products. It’s very pricey, but quite a lot of the products aren’t easily available elsewhere.

For instance, with Beyond Bread (the 100% gluten free cafe) shutting down all it’s cafes recently, the only place you can purchase their products is at Wholefoods. The Beyond Bread offering in Wholefoods includes croissants, cinnamon buns, bread and a selection of cake slices.

Wholefoods is the sort of place where you can pick up gluten free food on the go for lunch, or purchase products to take home for another day.

Planet Organic

The exact same goes for Planet Organic, though they’re not usually as enormous as Wholefoods.

Marks and Spencer

Ok, ok, Marks and Spencer is literally everywhere in the UK. But if you’re really stuck for lunch options when you’re out and about, you can always count on M&S to bail you out. They have loads of gluten free sandwiches, wraps and pasta, as well as a few cakes too.

I think that’s enough to keep you busy!

The BEST Gluten Free Burgers in London – Honest Burgers

Published by Bex - Posts may contain affiliate links - Oven Temperature Conversion Guide

Now you know I am always honest with you guys, well… I think I have found my favourite location for Gluten Free Burgers… Honest Burgers!

In times gone by I have experienced many food destinations where ‘Gluten Free Burger’ is an option on the menu (& many where it is not!), however more often than not this involves being served my burger ‘naked’ without a bun, with my burger placed between 2 slices of gluten free toasted bread or served without chips. None of these options are really ok in this day and age, fortunately Honest Burgers agrees & provides the full experience for a Gluten Intolerant.

Hell yeah, lets dance the gluten free night away!

It feels amazing to walk into a restaurant to be greeted with the ability to have a full meal, not just bits of a meal. The staff at Honest Burgers are amazing too they are really friendly & as soon as I mentioned that I was Gluten Free they explained the menu in detail to me. (The menu is very easy to understand as you can see below!) They explained to me that not only do they provide gluten free burger buns, but they also have gluten free onion rings & gluten free beer on the menu. How exciting! Oh & don’t forget their Rosemary Salted Chips/Fries are Gluten Free too… the best frickin fries ever. Rosemary, salt & potato is a match made in heaven!! Whilst we were in Honest Burgers a huge amount of people came in asking after Gluten Free & were all prepared to wait for a table… it’s that well regarded and delicious!

the delicious, simple menu of Honest Burgers

As I mentioned, the Honest Burgers menu is incredibly straight forward. In my opinion this is what makes it so great. The chefs can really hone their skills to perfection, rather than having a lengthy confusing menu. Whether you fancy chicken or beef their is something for everyone. There is a variety of different toppings you can have within your burger too… & of course each month there is a different Burger Special which can be enjoyed Gluten Free! Everything is incredibly well priced as well. You come away from a central London restaurant feeling like you only paid half the bill!

Right so on with the Gluten Free Grub…..!

what is this heavenly gluten free delight?!

I opted for the classic of all burgers in my opinion. The cheeseburger! You can choose from mature cheddar, red leicester or stilton. After much deliberation I went for the cheddar, however I bet all three taste insane (I love cheese!). The burger came medium pink & was softer, tastier & juicier than any burger I have ever consumed. The gluten free bun was amazing. I have heard such great things about the gluten free buns at Honest Burgers & these really lived up to the hype. They were flavoursome, didn’t crumble & best of all were in no way ‘too bready’. I genuinely haven’t had a better burger in my memory & I will definitely be going back for another asap!

this tastes even better than it looks, & it looks pretty amazing!

Mark opted for the chicken burger in a gluten free bun. The chicken was really moist & flavoursome. A chicken burger can often be such a let down, but this was anything but. It had some delicious mustard mayo smothered on the chicken, which had a perfect subtle mustard taste. Again, Mark absolutely loved the bun & could not believe it was gluten free!

I also mentioned the fries earlier… the Rosemary Salted Fries. I think these deserve their own paragraph, they are insane. I have never thought to add rosemary to my fries before at home (not sure why!), but it seriously is the best combination ever. I am planning to purchase a rosemary plant to I can try and make them myself. The fries come as standard with every meal, and a decent amount too. I would be satisfied with them alone, they were truly sensational!

a very happy gluten free becky!

As you can see this trip to Honest Burgers blew my socks off. Why have I not been before? I used to walk past a hefty queue outside Honest Burgers every single day when I worked in Soho & never ventured inside. I feel like Honest Burgers will be my go to dinner destination in London from now on, I am dreaming gluten free burgers every night at the moment!

Honest Burgers really have expanded over the past few years & offer restaurants in various locations across the capital. So now….. Brixton, Soho, Camden, Portobello, Kings Cross, Oxford Circus, Tooting, Liverpool Street & Clapham all have something amazing in common… they are all home to Honest Burgers. I’m sure that list will just keep growing as well. It is so great to see that the growth of Honest Burgers hasn’t taken anything away from their quality. Each restaurant has great staff, plenty of character & best of all.. delicious Gluten Free food!

I highly recommend this delicious destination for the gluten intolerants, the wheat free eaters, the coeliacs & everyone & everyone whether you can eat gluten or not! I actually cannot wait to go back. Save a seat for me please Honest Burgers!

The BEST Gluten Free Bakery in London – Beyond Bread

Published by Bex - Posts may contain affiliate links - Oven Temperature Conversion Guide

A 100% Gluten Free Bakery in the heart of London… That is what Beyond Bread is! Please check out my full post for 18 of the BEST places to eat gluten free in London!

I have been meaning to visit Beyond Bread ever since it opened & never had the chance. However, after a busy morning promoting Coeliac Awareness Week, myself & Founder of Genius Gluten Free Foods, Lucinda Bruce-Gardyne decided to pay Beyond Bread a visit. To say it was love at first sight is an understatement. & apologies to anyone who prefers reading my sweet writing rather than looking at pictures, in this case a picture really does paint a delicious 1000 words.
As soon as I saw this extremely friendly sign I knew I had come to the right place. A gluten free bakery in the heart of London? A city where there is plenty of great gluten free options, yet suddenly, this place instantly rocketed to the top of my list.

Upon entering I didn’t really know what to do except to ask in a shocked & excited voice whether everything really was gluten free. I mean, how could I possibly consume everything in this entire bakery?! Everything looked fresh & very homemade. It felt like I was ordering in a really cool deli.. a place where usually the only thing I can eat is a gluten free chocolate brownie. Not today. Today I can eat everything!

A selection of freshly made gluten free quiche are always available too. They looked amazing & can be served alongside a salad to make the perfect gluten free lunch. The chicken & spinach quiche look especially tasty!

From the For Goat’s sake (prosciutto, minted goat’s cheese, fresh rocket & tomato chilli jam on baguette) to the Bang Bang Tuna (wasabi spiced tuna, avocado, fresh rocket & dash of lemon on a soft bun) They do a huge variety of amazing lunch time options. I went for the Caesar Teaser (free range chicken breast in creamy ricotta dressing & fresh rocket on baguette) & I would definitely recommend it. It was one of the best baguettes I have ever had!

The bread selection at Beyond Bread is seriously impressive. To have such variety in gluten free bread is a real luxury. Not to be too greedy I just went for a simple gluten free baguette. I wish I lived closer so I could regularly buy my bread from here, it all looked amazing. The Pumpernickel & Brioche are coming home with me next visit!!

Oh & the cakes and pastries are something to be admired. Such choice! From fresh victoria sponge, to a huge carrot loaf cake. From chocolate muffins to scones & banana bread. Beyond Bread made me weak at the knees. Again, I question thee…. how can you all be gluten free?!

I was rather find of the look of the New York Cheesecake and the Strawberry & Custard Danish. What do you think? When was the last time you saw either of these in gluten free from looking quite this good… I mean… I just had to buy both to take home!!

Now this little beauty is the Gluten Free Chocolate & Custard Danish. I’ve never eaten a twisted style danish before as you certainly cannot get gluten free chocolate twist danish pastries where I come from! This was seriously divine. The pastry melts in your mouth and is all kinds of flakey! I love the combination of the chocolate and custard too. I really should not be able to eat this!!

Seriously, a New York Cheesecake that’s gluten free?! This really is everything that I want in a cheesecake. Smooth, thick & creamy topping with a biscuity base to die for. Last time I was in New York I didn’t get to experience any of their cheesecakes, we never found a gluten free place in our time there. I definitely felt like I was in a New York Diner when I was eating this earlier however!

And here is probably my favourite. I used to love the vanilla custard danish pastry’s I got from my local supermarket and I haven’t had one in a good 5/6 years. This was better! The pastry again was super flakey; the filling…orgasmic. I loved the addition of fresh strawberries on top. It worked really well. I have always said if there was one thing that I could make it would be a gluten free danish pastry, but I don’t think I need to now that I’ve found this. So delicious & fresh. When you go, you must get one of these!!

Here is the delicious baguette I bought. After an extremely tiring day in London, I decided to cook up some gluten free chicken nuggets & put them inside half of the baguette with plenty of ketchup. So simple, but trust me… I was so shattered that this amazing baguette made everything so much better.

This is a place I demand you check out if you haven’t. It is 100% suitable for those with Coeliac Disease & those with an intolerance to gluten. Whats even better, is that the food is truly so delicious & the cafe itself so lovely, that everyone will fall in love with this place the moment they step inside. The staff are brilliant, the food is the best & the environment is perfect. They are doing really well at the moment (rightly so!), so who knows when we might see another Beyond Bread popping up! For now, get down to 2 Charlotte Place, London W1T 1SB & let yourself indulge in gluten free heaven.

Have you been to Beyond Bread before? If you have let me know what you thought! & have you got any other recommendations of your favourite Gluten Free Bakeries? Let me know by leaving a comment below or on Facebook / Twitter.

COOKIES AND SCREAM, Camden, London. Gluten Free & Vegan Bakery

Published by Bex - Posts may contain affiliate links - Oven Temperature Conversion Guide

Cookies and Scream in Camden, London is the ultimate bakery & cookie bar. It is Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan & DELICIOUS! Whether you fancy a shake, a brownie, a cookie or a donut, they have something that will suit everyone. It really is the best place for food in London whether you have food intolerances or not. You won’t find anything better, trust me!

I love this place so much that I have done an updated post on Cookies and Scream, you can get to that by clicking here 🙂

Gluten Free, Vegan (Dairy Free) Donut anyone?

Now I haven’t been down to Camden in many years; I used to go there occasionally when I was at school with my friends, but not since. So when a friend messaged me the other day suggesting we meet up in Camden, I jumped at the chance!
Last time I went to Camden I was able to eat pretty much everything. Back then, instead of being overwhelmed by the delicious food stalls I remember just dropping into KFC and getting a bucket of fried chicken! How times have changed!

On Saturday my friend and I (we both cannot eat gluten, she can’t eat dairy too) wandered around the food stalls, drooling continuously at all the wonders of the market. There was a huge amount of variety in terms of global cuisines from freshly made sushi and huge paellas to Peruvian and Ethiopian delights. Of course there is going to be a reasonable percentage of food that us gluten intolerants should steer clear of, but many of the stalls were run by extremely friendly, helpful people and I would always suggest asking whether there is gluten in some of the food. Much of the food was being made in an incredibly authentic way and so if the ingredients are as authentic then you might just be in luck! It definitely doesn’t hurt to ask!

For us however, we had already had an amazing lunch and dessert in inSpiral Lounge and so weren’t looking for more savoury food. We weren’t even debating or searching aimlessly, we knew exactly where we were going…. COOKIES AND SCREAM!

In recent weeks I have become really obsessed with Cookies and Scream, yet I have never been or eaten anything from there; I haven’t even spoken to anyone who has been there. But their Instagram and all other forms of social media have been enough to engulf my ghrelin into a trance of excitement. We arrived at Cookies and Scream (based within the Dingwalls gallery area of the market) and I didn’t know what to expect in terms of looks. Basically it is a bakery bar with four high stools at the bar where you can sit and enjoy your treats, or if not you can take most of them away with you.

Epic gluten free donuts from Cookies and Scream!

I’ve just realised for all of you who have no idea what Cookies and Scream is, it is a gluten free and vegan bakery! Every product is dairy, egg, wheat and gluten free and all bakes are low fat, low cholesterol and made with unrefined sugars. Simply, it is foodie heaven for vegans, for intolerants and for literally everyone is the whole world. What I experienced at Cookies and Scream the other day I never ever experienced when I could eat gluten; the bakes are beyond divine. Seriously I mean it.

Cookies and Scream do a wide range of different bakes, cakes & shakes. The variety is so vast and ever changing that whilst we sat there, different tasty treats were being made; when I sneaked back later on, completely different delights were at the bar. This might be something to do with the fact that they constantly have to bake new treats, as they are constantly selling out!
The girls working behind the bar on the day we visited were incredibly friendly as well, they described Cookies and Scream as an almost punk bakery and I definitely get that vibe even in the tiny space it takes up. We spoke for ages, which meant that I just had to keep buying and tasting! Sadly the girls were a little camera shy otherwise their faces would be plastered all over this blog post. I guess giving you a few photos of the tasty treats they baked will have to do!!

Cookie time!

Firstly, I started off by ordering one of the largest cookies I’ve had in a long time, I went for the choc chip cookie. It was amazing, super super soft, as if it had just come out of the oven. It was exactly how I always try and make gluten free cookies but sadly they never come out like this. Cookies and Scream cookies are filled with fruit purees and flaxseed that means that they are not only incredibly moist and fresh in taste, but they are somewhat nutritious as well. How can the best cookie I have ever tasted not be the worst cookie for me?! I actually ended up sneaking back later on and purchasing another cookies for the train journey home. It was a delicious, with an almost jammy centre to it. Sadly I forgot to take a picture as I was wolfing it down on the underground! I am unsure whether this was the greatest cookie ever or the chocolate chip one. Both were insane.

Whilst I ordered the cookie my friend ordered… a donut! Yes that’s right Cookies and Scream do fresh delicious gluten and dairy free donuts! On this occasion she opted for the completely chocolate dipped one. It was amazing, so soft and just basically… tasted like a donut! I couldn’t stop trying it! They also do a range of other donuts too, cinnamon sugar, jam, hazelnut… you name it they do it. So if like me as a gluten intolerant you have missed having donuts, this is so far my absolute favourite place to get one.

The perfect gluten free & vegan Banoffee Pie!

I couldn’t resist a chocolate brownie for my dinner back home whilst I was there also, so I got one to takeaway. The ‘Gosh! Brownies’ that Cookies and Scream create have actually won the ‘great taste GOLD’ award so I knew I was in for more of a treat than many other gluten free brownies I have previously tried. I was definitely not disappointed; again, this was the best chocolate brownie I had ever eaten. It was moist and rich, I ate half cold, and then went mental and had the other half warm with some soy ice cream. It is crazy that all the delights of Cookies and Scream are vegan and thus contain no dairy or eggs… how do they do this?! Well, we won’t be able to find out from them… there is a sign on the bar saying they won’t give away any of their recipes! Big shame, I can’t get to Camden every day sadly, next time I do though I can’t wait to have another brownie or blondie… they do so many flavours!

Whilst we were munching down our donuts and cookies the girls behind the bar started assembling a perfect masterpiece for the eyes in the form of a banoffee pie. Being one of my favourite desserts in the world I felt a little faint at the sight of such a beauty – mine doesn’t ever look that good! If I hadn’t got myself already so so full I would have definitely managed a full slice… or the whole pie come to think of it. It quickly sold out as later when I went back it was completely gone and an entire second cake was just having it’s final slice sold!

One final purchase for me from Cookies and Scream on Saturday I think was called the ‘Chewy Wookee’. It is a chocolate feast: a cookie bar with hazelnuts, raisins and topped with double chocolate. I bought one because I found out that they have a ‘Chewy Wookee Challenge’! You have to see how quickly you can eat the Chewy Wookee. Whilst I was there, a girl decided to take up this challenge and had to eat the entire thing in 2 minutes. Unfortunately she was unable to get on the leaderboard; I wasn’t even going to try, instead I spent my Sunday enjoying this tasty delight. I am not the worlds biggest double chocolate fan but this was immense. Again, I ask you… how is this vegan?!

Whose up for the Chewy Wookee challenge?!

Not only is their range of cakes, cookies, pies, brownies etc never-ending (I haven’t even mentioned 5% of the potential treats you might come across at Cookies and Scream on any random day), but they also do a huge range of milkshakes! These milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard & damn right they’re… low fat & sweetened with agave (according to Cookies & Scream, and whose to argue with these genius’). Now I had already had a banana milkshake/smoothie in inSpiral Lounge earlier so I felt I couldn’t have another, but I watched so many people having them made and they looked amazing. I can guarantee from just looking at the shakes and reading the menu that these shakes would be better than any dairy or gluten filled one. Anyone up for a Cookie Dough Ball Shake? Salted Caramel Shake? Brownie Shake? Toffee or Peanut Butter Shake?! ME to all of these & probably ‘me me me’ to many of you too! Well get down to Cookies and Scream pronto and you can have one!

Fancy a shake thats dairy & gluten free, here you go!

As you might be able to already tell I am highly suggesting you head to Cookies and Scream if you are venturing down to Camden on a sunny London day out. Of course I highly recommend the whole of Camden market for a great foodie experience, but if you don’t go to Cookies and Scream I warn you now, you have made a huge mistake.

I recommend it to those who can’t eat gluten, to those who can’t eat dairy, to all the vegans out there, and I highly recommend it to every other individual on this planet, because you certainly won’t taste anything better with a load of gluten, eggs or cows milk included in your baked goods and shakes! This place is simply amazing.

It is open 7 days a week from 10am till 6pm and they are always replenishing their delicious bakes throughout the day. If you are in a rush happily grab a dozen cookies and brownies for the road, if not take a seat at the bar and have a chat over a shake and a slice of pie, it’s a great place to hang out.

If all this is completely beyond you still, then until you can make the trip to Cookies and Scream I urge you to follow ‘CookiesandScreamBakery’ on Instagram and ‘cookiesscream’ on Twitter. Don’t blame me if this makes you get on a train, plane or automobile very quickly and end up at Cookies and Scream before you’ve even got yourself dressed in the morning.

Well that’s all from me for today, basically I love Cookies and Scream & I hope that at least one of you might decide to go now, it is so so worth it.
