Great birthday lunch. Friendly welcome, clean and tidy, lovely decor and atmosphere. Excellent food, excellent gluten free menu. Food came with a flag on it to ensure I got the right meal.
Zan Fish Spondon is a top quality chip shop! The staff are super friendly, the food is amazing and the fact that they offer gluten free is brilliant! Wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Came to derby to visit parents, my dad has dementia. Both parents are gluten free. It was quiet as a Friday midday. The waitress Sinitta immediately remembered my parents from being there only once before and they remembered her as said how nice she was last time. She welcomed us, sat and chatted and basically made us feel welcome. The fact she remembered my parents (in their 70’s) was so amazing! They made sure and double checked for gluten allergies which they both had and food was lovely! I don’t live in derby but I know they will be back again because they felt so looked after!
Really great cafe for gluten free options. I’m not 100% sure where the name came from as there really wasn’t many books? But overall the atmosphere was quirky and cosy. I ordered the bhaji sandwich on the online ordering option. There was no option to make it gluten free apart from the notes section but the waitress was happy to swap it and it came out with a GF bun, the food itself was really tasty
I have Coeliac Disease (gluten free) and it can still be a struggle to find reliable, trustworthy restaurants who cater correctly. I had the double stack burger with a gluten free bun - my mind was blown. Alongside this the fries were crispy on the outside, but soft and fluffy on the inside. The food was delicious (melted in the mouth!) and the portion size was perfect!
Really enjoyed the attentive service, atmosphere and my gluten free, vegetarian meal plus drinks! Thank you Beth and everyone else for a lovely night after a long day at work
The place was refurbished around a year ago and has got a whole new lease of life. New menu and new team of staff - lovely environment. I was excited to hear that the beers change regularly and that there's always something new to try plus the site has a wonderful new menu which includes an entire Gluten Free Menu and an entire Vegan Menu. Highly recommend.
Had been for dinner with family with one of us being gluten free, the food was bit of a hit and miss. The gluten free main course was a pasta dish chosen from the set menu , the pasta was a bit undercooked and didn't really gel with the sauce in which it was cooked. I had the chicken milanese which was essentially a breaded slice of chicken with tomatoes on the side and bowl of salad with cheese , the chicken was too crispy and dry, didn't really enjoy it and wouldn't recommend . The dishes which I liked were the mushroom soup which was really good and the tiramisu dessert. We went on a Tuesday so essentially the restaurant was deserted being mid week , probably would have had a better vibe on the weekend.
First time at this brilliant restaurant! I am one of those people who don't realise venture out and try new foods, but my goodness, I was so pleased I tried Zorba. Such beautiful food and wonderful service. Everyone was so friendly and so accommodating. We had one in our party who was gluten free, and she was looked after so well and had plenty of choice!
Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic place! Dog friendly and lots of vegan and gluten free options! I don't personally drink coffee but my boyfriend said it was really nice. The nicest hashbrowns I have ever eaten!
Excellent food and service, Merrick and Jonathan were amazing, advising us on gluten free options and provided a friendly welcome service! The pies are awesome!
Great pub and food, the menu is extensive and has plenty of gluten free possibilities, which is great.
Very quick efficient and attentive service, our food was brought out quickly, all four getting our food at the same time.
The food tasted good too.
Our server Shannon was lovely, we informed her that our two year old daughter had a gluten allergy and she was very accommodating towards that and provided amazing service throughout. We ordered some chicken but as informed by Shannon it was a bad batch so she didn’t want us eating something that she wouldn’t so recommended we ordered something different. This was amazing customer service and made our whole experience better.
Usually I would comment on just the food, but on this visit I would like to give massive praise to Eden who was waiting for the 1st time and totally smashed it there's nothing more he could of done for us he went over and over and above with a fun and friendly attitude.
Even stayed after his shift had finished to complete our journey.
Also dealt well with order of gluten free and vegetarian.
A great 40th birthday meal.
I hope to be served again soon by this lovely young man

After a bit of a look around the charity shops, we ended up taking a chance with The Peacock Lounge, after our usual go-to place shut down a while back. Didn't even realise it was there, as we don't tend to go down that part of the shopping centre. But I'm happy we did, because what a place! It has a super cosy feel to it, with a great interior (must be fabulous in the evening!) The staff seemed really pleasant on arrival, and we were able to get a table more or less straight away. They had some good gluten-free options on the menu, and have others too (but understandably, they need prior warning for this.) I decided to have their "Terry's Chocolate Orange" hot chocolate complete with cream, marshmallows and pieces of Terry's which was amazing, especially served in a mason jar (super creamy!) I didn't have any food, but had a slice of their carrot and walnut/pistachio cake and it was divine! Mum had the gluten-free toast with jam and a pot of the white pear and ginger tea, which were given a thumbs up too! Only thing was (and this is in no way a negative) I had to go to the counter to ask about my cake, as it hasn't come to the table with everything else. However, I understand that the place had become quite busy and the staff were trying to sort other orders out too. The gentleman was really good about it, and cut a slice for me there and then. Altogether, it came to a little over £14, which I thought was well worth it. Would love to return again in the future, to try some of the food. Amazing place with a fabulous atmosphere, good food and lovely staff! Definitely a thumbs up for The Peacock Lounge!
My favourite café in Derby. Great menu options and baked goods, with often a little twist on the usual stock to make their stuff pop, and the staff are lovely!
- Delicious coffee.
- Proper Eastern European-style rye toast!
- Great gluten-free and vegan options
- Self-serve water refills.
- Relaxed atmosphere.
- Frozen vegan and gluten free meals.
- Diverse drink menu.
- Fair prices.
Really great place with fantastic, well priced menu. Something for everybody, including gluten free options. Suited 2 teenagers, spoilt for choice. Great offers on products. Option to order on the app. Service was really fast & very friendly. Food tasty and piping hot. 5* all the way!!
Myself and my husband were dining with a couple of friends. We have never visited previously but will be sure to return. My husband is celiac and they had a whole separate menu for him but it’s the staff that are the real hidden gem. So friendly and welcoming. We were greeted by Georgina and looked after by Adele. ( a waitress who had taken such great off us previously). They helped us choose a gluten free option on the lunch menu for my husband so he could be included with us. We had the budget friendly lunch menu and I had the fish goujons were beautifully crisp and the fish soft and flakey. He had gammon with a fresh runny egg.
All four of us had the sticky toffee for afters , which was so light and soft. I want the recipe.
We were told upon paying that the chef that had cooked for us was Bertie. We cannot wait to return and sample more of his cooking. A weekend menu was mentioned so we will be booking in soon.
We were a party of 40 guests with a range of dietary needs, including vegan and gluten-free. There was a large range of choices for all of us, the food was delicious, and the service was exceptional.
Excellent food for all as the vegetarian offerings are super whether you are vegetarian or not. Lovely gluten free options and cakes.
Highly recommended
Had a really lovely meal with a party of 10 food was delicious. Amelia our waitress was amazing and went above and beyond. They were great with gluten free.
We would definitely return. Thank you Amelia
This was the first time we have taken our children here and would recommend this place to all. Our waiter was Moiz, he was really helpful and friendly when ordering a gluten free option for my daughter. Thanks for a lovely experience
Since finding out I have a few food intolerances I haven’t been able to eat a curry without fear of the aftermath. The gentleman on the phone was fantastic in advising me of what I could have and even spoke to the chef to make sure it was possible! Food arrived promptly and was delicious! Will definitely be my go to now! The only Indian in Derby that does gluten free bread too! Thank you so much!
We were a walk in group. The pub was full but Shane made an extra effort to accommodate our group and was very attentive with his service which included a gluten free member which was greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Really enjoyed my time there, i always do! The food was great, we got a big sharing platter which had a great selection. Some improvements could be to provide a gluten free alternative to the bread at the start of the meal, and the pina colada drink i had was very watered down, needs improving!
Will definitely come again, the man who runs the desk was very kind!
The best restaurant in derby. So great to have a restaurant with a wide variety of healthy delicious meals. There are so many vegan and gluten-free options. We love being able to choose the size of our bowl (which means the kids can have the right size for them) and then choose from proteins, hot options, sides and the massive salad bar. We highly recommend their falafel, potato wedges and coleslaw. We will be going many more times! Service is quick and everyone’s really friendly.
I'm celiac, they always take it very seriously and you can see the staff changing gloves before handling my food. Bit expensive but worth it for the peace of mind
13/08/24- im guessing he was a manager who served us for food at bottomless, I didn’t catch his name. He catered for my Celiac disease. He was incredible and told me the food was made in a separate fryer and he said he made sure the staff cleaned the kitchen , which made me feel so at ease. Need more servers like him! Thank you:)
The kindest and sweetest two owners who were so attentive to our group of six with one being gluten free. The food is so fresh and delicious, I would definitely recommend to anyone !
Really friendly and welcoming staff. Made sure we were happy and had everything we needed.
Food was excellent - really tasty and decent portion sizes. I am coeliac and the menu was clearly marked with what was Gluten Free and the staff even made sure i was aware what dishes others in my group were GF or not.
Would happily go again!
Probably the worst gluten-free pizza I’ve ever had! My husband’s standard margarita pizza wasn’t much better. Really expect better from Pizza Express. ☹️
