really lovely atmosphere and the most friendly staff even during a busy period they were very attentive and caring. also the best gluten free waffle ive had. would highly recommend <3
Just been for lunch at cote leamington and left feeling really disappointed. As someone who is gluten free cote have a gf menu, which looks good, but if you're also vegetarian there is basically one thing you can eat, which is a tagine. This might have been the worst food I've been served anywhere. It was flavourless water with chickpeas in. I have had tagine many times and I dont think this can be called that. The gf bread was like cardboard. Admittedly when I raised this they took it off the bill. My daughter liked her lunch menu steak and said that was nice. Its pretty in there but the atmosphere was lacking. Also, I noticed after I left that they add a 10% service charge to the bill, meaning I paid an extra £5, which I'd prefer not to have paid seeing as I left our lunch treat having only had a glass of water! Wouldn't recommend for anyone with any dietary needs.
Went for lunch yesterday. I am a coeliac so required gluten free options and whilst limited the burger was incredible. They even have a choice of gluten free lagers which is a proper treat! The staff, Christina and Hannah were really helpful and polite throughout, nothing was too much trouble. I will definitely visit again when next in the area.
Amazing cocktails, the Fire and Brimstone is a must! Excellent food with good portions at reasonable prices. Great selection of gluten-free dishes and good knowledge regarding options. Abbie was a great host and knew her stuff. We'll come again!
having read the reviwes this was not the best experience for us on this occasion - food was good a nice vibe to the place people working couples chatting, however despite their efforts the service was lacking and the food was slow, after 25 mins from ordering avo toast we were told there was "an issue" with the gluten free bread and it would be another 15 mins - perhaps they were ensuring no cross contamination but thats all we were told. I also think this place was overpriced, but perhaps this is normal for Lemington Spa - not in a rush to visit again.
Bright & spacious, excellent service with simple, high quality meals with gluten free and vegan options. Tomato bruschetta was tasty and the vegan spaghetti puttanesca satisfying. Gluten free plates were clearly labelled. The set menu was good value at £15 for 2 courses (usually not Saturday night but a special TheFork offer) washed down with a £15.70 50cl carafe of Pinot Grigio.
While the food was ok, the service and atmosphere were excellent. They were very helpful and accommodating for my gluten intolerance. Foods on the menu are clearly labelled and an allergen menu is available upon request. I had the brownie and vegan ice cream. I would return and try something else on the menu.
The best restaurant in Leamington, most incredible food I've ever had. I've lived in Leamington all my life and no idea how I've missed this place, a true hidden gem.
The tapas is incredibly flavourful, I had vegan dishes and my friend had meat and fish and is also gluten free, so we can attest to the quality for veggies/vegans and meat lovers. Staff are lovely and very helpful, very relaxed atmosphere so they leave you to browse the menu at your own pace.
The decor is incredible, certaintly the best looking restaurant I've visited in a long while.
Will be coming back for definite. Highly highly recommend!!!
Lovely little cafe, simple but clean. Offering breakfast, afternoon teas, cakes and great array of teas. I am coeliac so had the gluten free carrot cake with a pot of tea. Everything was served on China, which was lovely. The cake was great and the staff very friendly. Highly recommended it.
Had an 18th birthday party for my daughter using their private dining room.
22 guests in total.
Food was very good and all came out together. We were advised to submit our food request earlier in the day to avoid longer wait times which seemed to work out very well.
Lots of Gluten free options on the menu too.
There is a large screen TV in there which were were able to upload photos via memory stick and a Bluetooth sound bar to play our own choice of music from our phones
Simran was very hospitable to us and we were able to come in earlier in the day to decorate the room.
My only slight negative is there were a few displaced carpet tiles but this did not detract from our experience.
We will visit again.
We were seated and asked if we had allergies, and answered yes there was a gluten allergy. Although it wasn't explained, the menu was marked as to where gluten free option was available. Unfortunately, when it came time to order, it turned out the menu was totally wrong! The server's electronic device showed that the option chosen now contains gluten. However they couldn't tell us what options on the menu were still correct, we had to look at the screen which contained shortened names of the options available then read what they actually were on the menu while the server waited awkwardly. This put pressure on chosing something else in a rush. In addition the server explained the original choice was unavailable because the meat skewers were marinated in soy sauce "but if you want to take the risk you can". Soy sauce contains gluten, so no, it's not going to be something we "take the risk" on. Some of the other options on the device were opposite to the GF on the menu which didn't inspire confidence. Our food then came out so quickly we didn't even have our drinks yet, which made us feel rushed again. The GF tortilla wraps were not appetising at all. Please address the issues with the menu and put some time into training regarding allergies. This sort of issue is why we hardly ever go out to eat anymore and this special occasion was spoilt. We quickly left and went elsewhere for pudding. Take a leaf out of Wagamama's book, they seem to have taken the experience of eating out with allergies seriously.
Atmosphere -wise, it was nearly empty other than large groups of drinkers, we were seated in what felt like a corridor and the walls next to my arm were filthy with splashes of food/drink. I wouldn't visit again even if we didn't have the issues around the menu.
I was here for breakfast. Lovely staff. Had the possibility to have a gluten free sandwich. The only thing I felt was that it tasted like it didn't have any sauces or salt.
Its a shame they are unable to provide gluten-free fries of any sort, but the staff and service were very polite and knowledgeable, regatding my gluten allergies
Visited this evening advising two out of the 3 of us are gluten intolerant which was told upon booking and arrival. Two of the mains were lovely but the chicken was obviously left on the hot pass for a long time as sauce had a skin on top of mash was hard and chicken was dry and tough, chicken dish also missing peas as stated on menu. Wrong drink served and when ordering dessert we specified again gluten free but when desert served was to find they had put the gluten biscuits on plate, luckily I spotted this before my mother ate them. At the end of the evening when getting the bill we were told that because of the dissatisfaction with the main they had taken off the "discretionary" tip. I do not feel the staff really cared about the mistakes they made.
Had a lovely soya iced latte here whilst waiting for a train. They have a really good range of dairy free options, and also numerous veggie/vegan/gluten free options too, including food. Service was good, and the coffee not only tasted really good, but was actually a really decent size.
We had a lovely experience at Blenz cafe this morning. They have an impressive range of vegan options, including cake and delicious hot chocolate that passed my daughters taste tests. There were also gluten free options. I had the flapjack with my mocha and again both delicious. The people working there were friendly and helpful, they happily looked through allergens for us.
The cafe has a relaxed atmosphere, it is also noticably neat, tidy and clean. After dozens of visits it is always very well kept.
It has recently had a revamp and is absolutely gorgeous.
Really great food, catered to gluten free and dairy free coffee. Small place but warm vibes. Not great for more than 6 people in a group but accommodates dogs and small children.
