Good little caffè. Great 🥗 and drinks. There are not many choices of gluten-free pasties or cakes.

The lady who served me was nice. The fish was tasty, just two things. Ask customers if they’re eating in or taking away, I still gave 4 stars because she offered me to sit outside for free which was nice. Also, it’s nice to offer customers salt and vinegar if they want it on, my fish was wrapped very quickly and I didn’t want to be a bother and ask her to unwrap it and season it. Other than that I think the fish is worth the price given it was made fresh to order and was actually one of the best fish I’ve had! I’ll definitely give it another try. Edit ** I appreciate your response, and want to be very clear that it was my first time attending you restaurant and I saw signs about gluten free options but nothing regarding seating stood out to me?? I was not asked if I was eating in or taking away when I arrived. And I wasn’t offered salt and vinegar. I understand that maybe you want to defend your business but please don’t gaslight me in the process.

This place is absolutely incredible! The food is phenomenal and almost all is gluten free which makes my coeliac heart so happy! The two ladies that were serving today were so lovely and the vibes are always great. Thanks Nugs for making this delicious food! Can’t wait to come back!

Have been here a few times now and excellent food and service every time. Their gluten free menu is fab 👍🏼

Emilia Esposito

Went in for my birthday's dinner yesterday. Absolutely amazing, Kerry was amazing. The food was great with great selection of safe gluten free options. Thank you for the great experience. We will back very soon

James Knight

I chose the GF option, and it arrived 35 minutes after my colleagues' food (normal food) 😅. I was greeted with 'Gluten Free - so you're the difficult one when you're out.' I was not impressed. I was informed that other tickets took priority over mine due to the grill that needed a special clean. Fair enough. Due to kitchen challenges, the manager let me ear for free. Thankyou. A lengthy wait, though, the food tasted really good.

James

Amazing food amazing atmosphere. Also amazing gluten free substitutes.

Elton Mesquita

A good option for healthy food. A few options to choose but not lots of variety. Try the hot beverages, they're good. Most of the food is gluten free and the juices are really good! Highly recommend

Sharyn El Amir

Wow !! Just back from a spectacular meal here. Hidden gem. Best food we’ve ever eaten in the area. Especially for me as a coeliac, the gluten free options were something else. Will be our new go to. Very regularly!! Great decor and ambience. Incredible food. Fantastic staff. Call out to our waitress Sally who was extra special 😘

Paul Collins

We have just had a takeaway from here. My wife is a coeliac and we called the restaurant. They were knowledgeable and very helpful. The food was amazing, the best I've had in ages. We have a new favourite curry house 😄😘

Barbara Jacobs

Now has a good selection of gluten free 👌

Colette Houghton

This was my second visit to Leigh Bistro. I have Coeliac disease and I find it so very difficult to be able to trust restaurants. The condition and the cross contamination issues are very serious and I can be ill and out of action for days, if glutened. Our lovely waitress not only remembered me from my last visit but put me at ease and explained what would and wouldn't be safe for me to eat regarding gluten and cross contamination. I had the delicious starter of pan fried asparagus and then a fabulous steak with saute potatoes as the chips were cooked with gluten items so therefore, not suitable for me. My meal was delicious and thank you so much for taking my condition seriously and for keeping me safe. It is much appreciated and I feel absolutely fine after eating at your restaurant. I hope to not leave it as long before I return again.

We hired these amazing guys for our evening food at our festival style wedding 2 years before our big days and communication was quick and super helpful. When the big day came, they arrived on time, set up seamlessly in the background and served so many of our guests who came back for seconds, thirds and fourths! I'm absolutely gutted I didn't get round to eating one but my husband and guests all said how incredible the crepes and waffles tasted. My gluten free and vegan guests were particularly happy as they were able to eat everything like everyone else! I'll be hunting them down in the future to get my hands on one of the crepes but genuinely couldn't recommend them more. Thank you so much for being part of our special day, we couldn't fault you at all! 💜🍋💜

We went here to celebrate my partners birthday and had an amazing time. Food was an 8/10 but the service is what made the experience so memorable! We were served by a lovely Portuguese waitress in the red shirt all night (unfortunately we did not catch her name). One guest has a gluten allergy and was wonderfully catered for, with the waitress and chef checking all of the ingredients and even serving a dish with the sauce on the side so this guest could still enjoy the food. Would definitely come back here again and will recommend it to others!

James Ozden

Delicious BBQ which is hard to find in the UK! Super nice staff, delicious corn ribs and also great for gluten free options.

Joanna Coxell

Plenty of gluten free and vegan options for members of our party, the hospitality was amazing and the server was incredibly friendly. Atmosphere was warm and welcoming, food was superb. 10/10, can't recommend highly enough.

Mandy McAuliffe

Popular place, so book early to get the time/day you want. Lovely food and staff. I'm gluten and dairy free, there was a lot of choice for me and everything I had was perfect.

Julia Barrett

I love it here! The gluten free afternoon tea is brilliant; my favourite place to eat afternoon tea!

Sharyn El Amir

Just had a fantastic meal here. Really authentic food and different to your standard Indian. They couldn’t be more welcoming and helpful. I’ve a gluten allergy and they went to great lengths to explain what I could and couldn’t have. Really enjoyed it and will now become our go to 😊

Elton Mesquita

Very nice Thai restaurant! Good food, affordable price and good service. My go to in the area They're also vegan and gluten free friendly

Afton Cooper

Best food about, always different, full of flavour, seasoning and so much choice that my gluten intolerance is catered for. Absolutely banging Sunday roast. The nicest guy, service is 10/10. You might even get a glass of Bolli when you order the lobster if you’re lucky. What more could you ask for. Don’t cook, just go to Blaq Cesars he’s really the best 🙌🏼

Laura

Gluten and garlic free diner. Separate non-gluten menu with plenty of choices for starters, mains; limited desserts (ice creams or chocolate brownie (yawn)). Staff very helpful and knowledgeable. Garlic mushrooms removed from my choice and replaced with extra fries, garlic mayo swapped for plain mayo. Everything hot, freshly cooked to order and tasty (burger with blue cheese). Because everything is freshly cooked to order and because the restaurant is popular, expect to wait for your order (30 mins for the ice cream to arrive, but so worth it!). Portions were more than adequate! Restaurant was very clean, as were the toilets. With my dietary needs, I felt very safe. I will definitely return. Separate gluten-free prep station in the kitchen and separate fryer.

Elton Mesquita

One of the best restaurants in the area. The service is amazing and the food is delicious. Many vegan and gluten free options too

We had a nice lunch there. The atmosphere was cheesy sweet and the waitresses were lovely. The allergens are well indicated on the menu and there are plenty of gluten free choices. I enjoyed the egg fried rice with vegetables and tofu and my friend opted for curry masaman with coconut rice. We found the food very flavoursome.

Elena Stevenson

Loved eating in here last week, food was great and the venue is really nicely decorated. Very accommodating for two people with dietary requirements- sesame and coeliac , good gluten free options. Thank you!

Catherine Drewer

Love the food here. I have a gluten free diet and they have loads of options and are really careful to ensure my food is identified as gluten frer. Highly recommend

james heath

Me and my son both have celiacs and just wanna say what a fantastic restaurant for celiacs. Pizza's were brilliant

David Francis

This was our first visit. It was a very nice, relaxed evening, food was excellent, server was very friendly, nothing was rushed. Started with cocktails and nibbles, which were both a different twist with an Asian theme to some classics. The food we chose as starters were very tasty to set us up for the mains. Very pleased that they had options for gluten free vegans. Most of us had the bento boxes, which were well presented and very good. The service isn't fast but that's not the vibe, this was exactly what we wanted, a relaxed dinning experience, overlooking the sea, in a nice environment. We expect to be return customers.
