Amazing to find this little gem. As a celiac it was great to find so many gluten free options and knowledgeable staff. Full English breakfast was great. Friendly welcome and nice atmosphere. Will be back.
As a gluten free vegan I am used to turning around and leaving cafés once I have established that there is literally nothing for me to eat. Here I was spoilt for choice and served by a knowledgeable and helpful member of staff. The only criticism is that there were only two members of staff and only one having to take orders, make drinks and take money. By the time we left the place was full, despite it being a Monday lunchtime, but I suppose that's not a bad problem to have!
Lovely staff, we arrived late after a long journey and they couldn’t have been more helpful. Great for my son who has a gluten intolerance and the meals were all delicious. Can’t wait to come back!
We enjoyed lunch and breakfast (separate days!) here, whilst staying locally for our silver wedding anniversary trip. Very friendly and welcoming team, excellent service and standard of food. Good range of gluten free options available. Highly recommended!
I booked the Toby Carvery for myself and two cousins from London. I was not disappointed. It was a lovely dining experience. My cousin is gluten intolerant and the duty manager did everything possible to make sure my cousin felt safe. The chef was also extremely knowledgeable and even prepared a portion of cauliflower without the cheese sauce. The staff were all excellent and I would highly recommend dining at Toby Carvery Downlands.
3rd time here. Warm, welcomkng, cosy and friendly. Came with old friends. Just love the home made tortillas and dips, and the salted fried sweet potato fries. Went for sweet potato gluten free tacos. The specials tequila sunrise for delicious, I just had to have two! I managed to just about squeeze in the vegan chocolate and berry desert!
Thank you
Staff were really friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxed.
The food and coffee were top drawer with loads of gluten free options.
Highly recommend!
I highly recommend visiting this little cafe. Glutenfree options available, Vegan available and everything we ate and drank was delicious and prepared freshly with care and creativity.
Superb choice of cakes. Big menu with a variety of hot and cold food. Lots of gluten free options. Friendly staff. It’s annoying they aren’t open on Sundays for a breakfast! We usually get a panini or sandwich, a bit of cake and a can each - roughly comes to around £20ish.
Really nice little spot with quirky and relaxed decor. We had the veggie el diablo with fake meat and peppers and then the green goddess with added prosciutto which was gluten free.
Pizza bases were nice and cooked well. Toppings were generous too. You get truffle and chilly oil to pour on too.
Id definitely recommend this place you won't be disappointed.
One thing I would recommend the chef change about the El Diablo is reconsider what veggie sausages to put on the pizza. The current ones, which I think are Linda McCartney sausages, didn't have much flavour and didn't suite the El Diablo style. Another brand does chorizo veggie sausages that would work much better. Or swap for veggie pepperoni.
We had a very enjoyable family lunch here. The menu is varied and fairly priced. Good that fish can optionally be grilled instead of fried and new potatoes or salad are an alternative to chips. We managed to compile a decent vegetarian gluten-free meal for one of us by ordering several side dishes. My only criticism is that the service, though pleasant, was slow and lacking a spark.
Always get my curry from le Spice! Amazing for dietary needs I am gluten free and vegan and I can have lovely food adapted. The bhajis are amazing as is the coconut rice. My extended family now also uses them!
Best cafe in Worthing. Brilliant coffee always well made. Really family friendly and a great selection of food and treats to buy. It's honestly one of the only cafes I will go in in Worthing. Love it! Brilliant for gluten free as they don't charge extra for the gluten free bread or alternative milks.
I walked into Finch by chance looking for something gluten-free. I got the ham hock and it was on two massive hash browns. I have never eaten something like it and it was gluten free so bonus for me.
Found this following a review in Waitrose free paper. Lovely coffee and gluten free cake options. Service very good and friendly and reasonably priced. A wide spectrum of regular customers, they are lucky to have such a nice coffee shop in their town! Would recommend!
Ordered a takeaway to collect on NYD. I chose China Palace because they indicate which food is gluten free on their menu. Food was ready on time and piping hot. Everything we ordered was delicious and I will definitely be ordering from them again. Thank you China Palace!
Had a great meal here tonight. The pizzas are great and as a Gluten free diner I am able to enjoy a GF base. I love the options of choosing the toppings to make unique pizzas. Mark the host was so welcoming and hospitable, this will definitely be a regular dining spot for us. Really recommend.
Had a lovely family dinner recently and wanted to share how kind and accommodating the staff and chef were to some of our odd food intolerances. They managed to create a wonderful dinner and i noticed there were lots of options for Gluten Free too!
Absoulety amazing food and atomosphere, As I'm Gluten free Amy went over and above to produce the same dishes in a gluten free option.
The Chateaubriand was just perfect and we will be definitely come back for another meal very soon.
Very tasty breakfast. The poached eggs were just right - running beautifully over my bacon and (gluten free!) toast, without that awful vinegar flavour you sometimes get. The avocado smash with it gave a delightful lift to the flavour. Lovely.
Service was friendly without being overbearing, and remarkably chipper for 830am without being annoying.
Cost a couple of pounds more than if I'd got my Premier Inn breakfast. I think it was well worth the extra for lovely coffee and really fresh, tasty food
So good. I went back the next day for exactly the same thing and bright friends this time!
Best gluten free breakfast cafe in Worthing. Sausages and hash browns are gluten free, with toast also available. Staff are very friendly and accommodating
So lovely to find a cafe that caters so well for allergies and intolerances. Being dairy and gluten free I often find I have limited options and it's not a case of what I would like but what I can have. They have an extensive menu, all the sandwiches/panini's came with an option of being made gluten-free, and they were very happy to check about dairy free possibilities.
I had a prawn sandwich, you couldn't have got more filling in it you tried! My daughter was able to choose what she wanted for a cooked breakfast (usually I end up with the bits she won't eat!) and everyone's food looked delicious.
Super friendly staff, awesome service, we'll definitely be back!
Great food and drinks, and amazing service, at a reasonable price. Plenty of vegan options, and gluten free options too. I'll definitely eat here again :)
We came for my brothers 21st birthday, was very disappointing. First of all took ages to order any drinks and when two of the drinks came the lemonade tested like fizzy water, when I said to the waiter the syrup had gone he seemed very confused and then checked and said the problem has been sorted but seemed hesitant to give us other drinks and never apologised. Took ages to then order our food and waited over an hour for our food, we were only a table of 8 and there was max about 4/5 tables in there, so god knows what it would be like if it was busy. They then forgot one of our pizzas and one of the sides and then for some reason put another pizza on a gluten free base when no one asked for that. So by the time the two pizzas came and the side everyone had finished their meal. The food was so bland and then took ages to order desserts and get them, which were all so bland and boring. No one checked up on us and asked about our food and no gesture for my brothers 21st which we didn’t expect but some restaurants do. Overall, service very poor, food also very poor but it’s nicely decorated in there.
What an amazing cafe! We were lucky enough to have our Mother’s Day brunch there today, and despite us being a bit of a tricky bunch with 2 vegans and one gluten free, the staff were fantastic, so helpful and accommodating, and the service, food and drinks were all delicious. Thank you so much.
Fabulous little hidden gem. I recently visited here for breakfast with my husband, amazing food, fabulous friendly service and accommodated our gluten free preferences without issue. Best breakfast we have had in ages, well worth a visit.
Shout out to Tim who was so friendly and accommodating when I was needing to order gluten free.
His whole service was great and could not be more attentive.
It's always fantastic service here and consistantly a great visit.Even Sadie who saw us to the table was a nice friendly face.
Thank you all and Tim for making a meal out a pleasurable experiance with no drama.
Celiac friendly
