Great gluten free options and very safe

Kym Allen

Excellent experience! Staff super friendly and knowledgeable. Loads of gluten free options and the eggs Benedict was utterly delicious, as was the freshly squeezed OJ. Would definitely recommend and will go again next time I visit Norwich

Louise Tyrrell

Fabulous menu, especially as whole menu is gluten & dairy free (which i am). Food was incredible. Service was a little slow, we also had to move tables. Would definitely go back again.

Kimberley Fraser

1st time visiting but certainly wont be the last. Food was absolutely delicious, and practically everything had a gluten free alternative which as a coeliac is a dream come true. Staff were friendly and attentive, couldnt fault a thing.

Eleanor Wilkinson

Only two items aren’t gluten free on the whole menu definitely recommend

Solveig O

Visited ASK today to celebrate father's day and had a very pleasant experience, our waitress Zara was an amazing host, very attentive and accommodating to my mum's gluten intolerance. My mum was very happy with the gluten free menu which had loads of options, and the food was delicious. Shoutout to Hamish as well, who was also incredibly helpful. Overall a great experience, would definitely go again! Thank you both :)

Impeccable service, and TONS of gluten free options. Really impressed by the range available. However was a little disappointed by the food as it was a little bland - was expecting a little more flavour, tried all dishes we ordered and honestly each one was really lacking something. Beautifully presented, and fast to arrive. Definitely book ahead as it gets busy. If you like the spice and flavour of thai food, this isn’t for you I’m afraid, but the less brave person will find this a gentle and tame, but enjoyable, culinary experience.

Really reasonably priced place to get afternoon tea, especially because the food is so good. They have a great selection of tea and coffee as well. I went for the original afternoon tea which I was able to get gluten free. I honestly found it to be more than enough and actually wasn't able to finish it. They also have a menu with some hot food items if you're looking to go in for lunch rather than to have a traditional tea. The service was excellent, the person who sat me down was very friendly and regularly checked to see if I needed anything else, but without it feeling like too much.

Karen Collins

Booked in advance. Stated that we needed gluten free. Arrived at restaurant to be told there was no gluten free pizzas and no gluten free chips. Had the spaghetti bolognaise which was watery and under cooked.

For someone who has struggled to accommodate their partners dietary requirements this place ticks all the boxes. Visiting Friday night and explaining Heidi was gluten and lactose intolerant are server said that they could accommodate her. She then took the time to explain the options available and how individual dishes could be prepared to meet her needs. The end result met all my expectations and I would totally recommend this place to people who have specific dietary requirements 🙂

Went for dinner with some colleagues at Zizzi Norwich. I am vegan (due to allergies) and gluten intolerant. I checked the allergen guide/menu well in advance and saw multiple options I could have including a pizza, 2 pasta dishes, sweet potato fries, regular fries, and strawberry sorbet. My group of colleagues very kindly selected this restaurant due to the number of options apparently available to me which was very kind of them. On entering the restaurant, we were asked for any allergies and I advised I am vegan + gluten free and was told this was no issue at all and reassured. I ordered the vegan non-gluten margherita pizza, to then be told there’s no vegan cheese so this was not possible. I then asked for one of the vegan non-gluten pasta dishes, and was told there’s no gluten free pasta so neither were possible. I then asked for the sweet potato fries, and was told this was not possible either. The waiter then advised they would give me 2 portions of regular fries at no charge which was kind. These portions, while doubled and very tasty, were still quite small and not filling at all while surrounded by people with good portioned meals. We also asked for a jug of water for the table when we ordered drinks and did not receive this, so had to ask again when we ordered desserts. For dessert, I spotted that the strawberry sorbet was suitable for me without needing any adjustments, so I ordered 2 scoops. My colleague sat next to me ordered the same for dessert and the same number of scoops, however when the bill came we saw that she was charged less for the same product, and mine said vegan sorbet, even though the strawberry sorbet was vegan anyway. Initially I thought I had been charged for an extra scoop by accident, but saw the bill listed 2 scoops so the number was correct, so I was being charged the price of 3 scoops for the exact same (no adjustments) product as someone else because there was an awareness of my allergies. It is already embarassing enough attending social food events, and I never expect people to cater to my dietary needs because I know it is difficult, but to be advertised multiple products and reassured on entry, for almost none of these to be available, and then charged extra for the same product as someone else when it did not even need to be adjusted is unacceptable and was incredibly embarrassing. I know I could have challenged the bill before leaving, but I was so embarrassed and let down by the whole evening that was meant to be a special employment anniversary event for my colleagues, that I just paid it on the QR code so I could leave as quickly as possible. I am not one to make complaints ever, and my dietary needs are my own issue and nobody else’s, but if you can’t provide a service, don’t advertise it, so that people with dietary requirements have a chance to find an alternative place to go. The staff were very kind and apologetic, but unfortunately that does not stop me going hungry, so would like to leave this review in hope this changes in future and that dietary needs alternatives are kept stocked, and as a heads up to other people with dietary needs that this may not be the best place to go.

Rachael Bufton

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Food was delicious and they catered well for dietary requirements. They had a really good selection of ales including two gluten free options on tap.

Aven Amos

Great food, good vegan and gluten free options. Friendly service.

Catherine Coxedge

Visited while boating on the broads, sat outside in an enclosed area with out dog. Lovely food, great gluten free menu.

James Ditcham

Lovely gluten free cake

Samantha Stearn

This was such a lovely pub …accommodated for gluten free. I had the best fish and chips ever . We came for a little break between Xmas and new year, it’s perfect. Highly recommend this pub so friendly, helpful and the service was spot on .

Miles Hill

Great burger with tasty Gluten Free bun & plenty of GF options. Was disappointed the fry’s weren’t GF but they jacket potato was very tasty. Great BBQ sauce on the Rock House burger👌

Richard Bishopp

Brilliant cafe, fantastic food,good quality products cooked perfect.Brilliant coffee.The menu has gluten free range which is great as my daughter gluten intolerance. Good value for money.😁👍

Michael Goodchild

Nothing to fault. Nice food, reasonable prices, sandwiches, baked potatoes, cakes and scones A1. Nice cup of tea too, and pretty tea cosies Vegan and gluten free available.

Abi Denton

A great cafe that was open pre 9am on a Saturday - always a bonus. The food was really lovely, and there was a very good selection, with gluten free options, which is always nice. The coffee was excellent too and the cakes were really lovely too. They're dog friendly too, so for us on our brief dog centred trip to Norwich, we couldn't ask for anything more.

Caz B

Great little spot for a cuppa or bite to eat. Lovely decent coffee, alternative milks available too. Menu range isn’t big but food is good. Gluten free bread is often available so sandwiches can also be made gf, great attention and checking from staff on dietary requirements. Always have really good cakes available, many gf options too! Staff are cheery and helpful, service is quick. Not enormous, but the shared table at the back is big enough for quite a few people to sit at if you don’t mind a couple of strangers for company. Courtyard at the back is my favourite spot to sit and read over a tea, especially in summer. Also dog friendly, so brilliant spot for a bit of dog watching, or to chill out with your furry friends. Dog water bowls often outside the front. Brilliant place. Only drawback is how busy it gets, sometimes at the weekend it’s hard to find a free seat!

Nikki Foyster

Lovely classic village feel. Good range of options including gluten free

Taylor S

Lovely friendly staff helped me place my order with my voucher and service was very quick, food arrived hot and amendments to order were fulfilled regarding gluten intolerance. Nice atmosphere, music not too loud and lots of options for seating. Great experience definitely go again, lovely staff and tasty food.

Niall O'Connor

Intimate atmosphere; the decaf cappuccino was excellent, served in a vintage mug, and we shared a main dish charred cauliflower, fig, and spiced turnip purée with chili honey and walnuts. Gluten free friendly. Nice staff.

Eric Murphy

An amazing place, we had lunch on the outside terrace and it was great. The food was attractively presented and very tasty. We had the fixed price menu and we were not disappointed either by the quality or the portion size. My wife has coeliac disease and they were very aware of this and made it very clear her food was gluten free. The views of the cathedral are brilliant and the vertical planters and waterfalls on one wall add to the experience. Our server was very friendly, absolutely no complaints, I’d definitely go back.

Bradie Goodman

Amazing service, delicious food!! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 Me and my boyfriend came here on Monday night, our previous booking at another restaurant was cancelled before-hand so I had a look on Google and I found this "Gem"! We've never had Turkish food before and being coeliac it's hard to find any decent food options - they have an entire GF menu, and the staff are quite knowledgeable, which is really nice for a change! We asked to be sat in a quieter part of the restaurant, as I suffer with social anxiety, and they had no problems accommodating this! Unfortunately, we couldn't try any dessert as we were stuffed!! 😅 Definitely would recommend to family and friends - Will revisit if we come back to Norwich! Thankyou! 😊

A lovely visit at the weekend. Lots of choices for baguettes and gluten free/vegan options. And I must say they take every care in the preparation too, even using a separate area for gluten free so no cross contamination. Delicious it was too, will definitely be visiting again 😁 I wish you all the success in your newly opened cafe

Sadie MasoKisst

Decided to go out for a late lunch on Sunday with my two Grandmothers, one of whom has Coeliac so cannot have any wheat or gluten. Our server, Alex, went through all the items she could have and the kitchen were kind enough to alter a dish to ensure she was well accommodated. The food was absolutely delicious, and even though it was a Sunday afternoon, it didn't feel crowded. Definitely would go again!

Oliver Marchant

Excellent evening out, really nice environment and well priced. Don’t be put off by the stairs at the front if you’re a wheelchair user, they’ve got a really good portable ramp to get you up the front steps and the little step once inside and a disabled toilet. All the staff were really friendly and helpful but particularly impressed by the lady with the shaved head, didn’t catch her name but she said it was her second day at the Norwich location, she went above and beyond running back and forth to double check food items for my partner’s specific dietary requirements. It was very much appreciated. I would give 5 stars if brewdog were able to do fries that aren’t cooked in the same fryer as other items containing gluten and dairy!

Rob woods

Great lunchtime gluten free nibbles.

Creative Characters

This is our local, we just moved into Acle from Halvergate. I hear it's under new management at the moment, it's a lovely spot, great steak (steak frites is a favourite of ours). It has good veggie options too and caters really well to gluten-free. My partner is gluten free and loves the options and has had no negative reaction. On my latest visit I had the beef wellington which was a bit dear but it was delicious.

Debra Glover

Roast dinners are amazing and even the gluten free option is great. Highly recommended.

Annie

Brilliant food and great service. I am gluten intolerant and the waitress went through the whole menu and explained what was gluten free and what could be made gluten free (pretty much everything), and brought gluten free soy sauce. We had the sushi lover's two tier dish with some adjustments to make it gluten free and it was really good, as well as onigiri and mochi.

Ruby

I love this pizza hut, service is always speedy and the servers are very helpful, always willing to sort me a separate salad due to a gluten allergy and the risk of cross contamination 👍

Unlimited Tea

What a great place, can't recommend highly enough. Fantastic range of beers, including some gluten free and fruit beers, and the food was delectable. The wild boar sausage was good, but if you're in the area you should stop in and try the tartiflette! It's the only place I've ever seen tartiflette in the UK, and they really do it justice. The pub is great, a really nice venue, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. I will be back!

Laetitia Webb

Great pub, always busy so definitely book in advance especially on weekends. Gluten free, vegan and vegetarian all catered for, they even made me gluten free Yorkshire puds - yummy. Music nights are popular so arrive early to secure a seat at the bar or book a table in advance.

Paul Miracle

Richard Strike

Friendly helpful staff. Nice carvery meal apart from the gluten free yorkshire pudding who ever idea it was to change to that was definitely a bad 1. Sooner you go back to how they were originally the better.

David

Superb gluten free beer on offer.

Rachel Cropley

Absolutely delicious chips. Cooked in veg oil and separately so effectively gluten free too. Great chips, lovely service, plenty of seating and parking too. Thank you!

Geoff Blampied

Fabulous location that serves great gluten free food by happy friendly staff 😄

Neil Watson

Welcoming professional staff, in particular Ali and Joel. The food was delicious and the gluten free options are not second rate or an after thought like many restaurants. Splendid drinks menu as well!!

Typicalash 08

Brilliant place, food is lovely and having a gluten intolerance doesn’t affect it either as they a brilliant selection of gluten free alternatives, waitresses are lovely, the one that helped us I didn’t get a name but she was brilliant, very helpful polite and friendly etc. awesome place

jacqui keech

Six of us enjoyed a selection of tapas. We could bring the dog. There was a good atmosphere and it had a cosy feel. Thank you for catering for gluten free.

Izzy Spint

Great atmosphere, there is also a local cat that comes and visit who is super friendly and lovely. They were really good about allergies and double checked each item to make sure nothing would affect my partner who is both gluten and dairy intolerant. Also huge portions! So plenty to take home at the end.

Alice Saunders

I had an enjoyable dinner. I had a gluten-free gammon steak that was to die for - exquisite, juicy, and chewy. It was the best dish I ever had!!!

Jamie Eldridge

Pete Allen

Kids really loved it especially my daughter who they made here a gluten and dairy free crepe which is hard to find in Norwich

Richard Allan

An excellent choice for a nostalgia trip back to Norwich, 15min walk from the station and 20mins from Tombland up/down Gas Hill. Don’t expect 5 star luxury but you get a genuine guest house pub with large rooms containing iron/hairdrier/coffee machine and even an EV charger in the car park though you may need to wait if it’s in use by the owner. Breakfast was fantastic with fruit/cereal/yoghurt including gluten free options as well as a cooked to order range of full English that arrives hot. There is a vegan option which curiously arrived with butter but they have dairy free spread (you have to ask for jam) and the large veggie brekkie was colossal! Room 4 seemed to be in the progress of an update with some missing tiles and a shower gel dispenser that was curiously by the sink away from the shower and the room WiFi seemed to stop working but the pub free Wifi worked fine. Overall, good value accommodation with large rooms, excellent breakfast, friendly staff and a genuine pub within easy reach of the city as well as the close by Lion Wood, Kett’s Heights, St James Viewpoint & Rosary Cemetery
