A great vegan and gluten free friendly cafe situated on the main high street. A wide range of offerings from sandwiches, cakes and pastries, along with hot and cold drinks, and plenty of snacks. The food was great (albeit overpriced but given the quality I’m more than happy to pay for this).
The only downside was the service, there was no outdoor table service for us, and each time we ordered something it felt as if we were running them off their feet from their reaction!
Otherwise, excellent cafe with a very nice atmosphere.
Cozy café with a wide gluten-free range including delicious cakes and dairy-free scones in a homely setting.

What a find. Great service with knowledgeable team around allergens. As a toddler with gluten, Dairy and egg allergens, she was able to enjoy a lunch with us, and then to her very happy surprise a gluten free, vegan chocolate cake to enjoy.
Thank you so much to all the team for some great food and excellent service

What's not to like. Fabulous location, right on the beach with views across to the isle of Wight, the Needles Eye Cafe sits next to a large childrens play ground with facilities for both infants and older children. The sea is a stones throw (and there are lots to throw!!) away. A reasonable amount of indoor seating and clean toilet facilites and outdoor seating for better days. There is also a lot of public benches all along the front on which to eat a bag of chips or have an icecream. There chicken nuggets are the best around and will spoil you for anywhere else!! They also have a very nice gluten free carrot cake but it sells out fast.
Set in a stunning old church, this venue offers a lovely, light, and airy atmosphere that feels like a hidden gem. The charming staff ensure a welcoming experience, making it a perfect choice for gluten-free diners seeking comfort and care.

Utterly faultless. My partner is coeliac and they didn’t even bat an eyelid!! Staff were simply charming and the food was SUBLIME. Delicious wine and just the most beautiful evening. Dietary requirements aren’t a thing… they’re just not phased which made eating out a complete pleasure. Thank you!!

Visited Lymington on 27.05.2023 for a family funeral. Decided to make a few days out exploring the wonderful South Coast too. Were looking for Gluten Free fish and chips and although there are several fish and chip shops around, surprisingly none we came across between Milford on Sea and Lymington offered these. We were so delighted to eventually find that The Elderflower Restaurant had an ' A' frame board on the pavement outside offering takeaway Fish and Chips, asked if they fried Gluten Free and yes they did. We were expecting the usual box of fish and chips to take away and asked if we could sit outside at their wooden tables and chairs and yes, were permitted too. We sat down waiting for our order and a lovely lady came out and asked if we would like cutlery, napkins and plates instead of the boxes to enjoy our meal at no extra cost. A warm summer evening made most enjoyable by The Elderflower going above and beyond for customers, we also enjoyed a beer and soft drink too., obviously extra cost. The fish we were informed was caught in the Solent, just yards away and was so fresh, tasty and delicious along with the chips, pease and tartare sauce also provided with the fish and chips. At £15.50 per portion, definitely worth the price and if we lived closer would visit more. Such a delightful restaurant in a fantastic location thank you for a memorable meal. Highly recommend the staff, food and brilliant customer service. Apologies for no photograph, after such a day, we were just so hungry and ate them before thinking about taking one!
