Amazing restaurant, if I could give them 10 stars I would. We travel an hour so my mum is able to have gluten free food as she is coeliac disease. Such a nice friendly and staff always welcoming
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.
A lovely little cafe in Leigh on sea. I am gluten free (gluten allergy - staff were knowledgeable and knew about shared fryers etc) and had lots of options without missing out on much (only change to English breakfast was to swap sausage out). A lovely atmosphere and if you have a dog it is a perfect spot! Look forward to returning in summer
Lemon Witch was an incredible experience. The staff were very kind, friendly, and helpful. Lemon Witch has a lot of choices for dietary needs like Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and Vegan. The food was absolutely delicious. The pricing was very reasonable and they even have some fun merchandise options such as stickers, pins, tote bags and t-shirts. I would highly recommend giving them a visit.
Great Easter Monday at the Saxon king with all the family (well most of us) made even better by the great service from Vicky. She was very much on the ball as I'd already marked on the booking there was nut allergies on the table as well as gluten. Everything was made to suit the recipient. Food was hot and tasty. Atmosphere and surroundings were lovely.
So good! Clued up on gluten free for celiac. Food was great, buffalo fries were amazing! Burgers were filling. Kids were happy, service was great 👍 already booked again next month.
We had the best time tonight for our date night. Good food. Amazing service from Fran, great conversation made us laugh. Als9 they have a great gluten free menu with choices for all intolerance and allergies. Perfect for me with my gluten and dairy allergy. Thank you everyone xx
We had a lovely meal after a long walk at the Peterboat. At first we were dubious, there were a lot of kids and this can be a red flag when it comes to quality experiences. But we were wrong, our waitress was excellent - really engaging and helpful, recommended some great dishes. And the food was pretty faultless for pub grub, everything we ate was lovely. The gluten free jam roly poly was especially good, achieved a great texture.
Recommended pub for the food alone! (If you can withstand the kids!)
I have coeliac disease, which I have to eat gluten free, and the manu was excellent a lot to choose from, I will be letting people know . Thank you for a 👍 dinner
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 😘
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 😄😘
Grey choice of food. Amazing choice of vegan/vegetarian options are available. Nothing was too much trouble even though they were incredibly busy. For once I was made to feel completely comfortable with my mix of vegan/gluten/veggie and non vegan choices! (Oh and it was all delicious.) Will come back soon.
Food is okay, you get what you pay for. Many options including gluten free. It's not the food we are fussed by coming here, we go for the atmosphere! Love the jazz band and BBQs at the weekend. And of course sitting in the beautiful park after a lovely dog walk!
Had a fab lunch here today. Food is delicious and staff so friendly and helpful.
I have coeliac disease and a garlic intolerance, they understood my needs and checked everything with the chef. So lovely not being made to feel 'a nuisance' for once.
Highly recommend 👌
A fabulous, friendly and welcoming cafe down on Shoebury East Beach. Great atmosphere and the best staff. They even went out of their way to buy gluten free products after I enquired if this could be something they would add to their menu. This place has definitely become mine and my family’s go to location. .
Thank you to everyone 😊
I loved this little place by the sea where we had a generous colourful breakfast! We had the alternative breakfast (2 poached eggs, toast, grilled portobello mushrooms and cherry tomatoes, asparagus tips, spinach, arugula salad and feta cheese) and Scottish smoked salmon with scrambled eggs on toast (with cherry tomatoes, arugula salad and extra baked beans and portobello mushrooms).
Gluten free options apply for dishes with toast.
The service was impeccable and the place offered a cosy atmosphere with fantastic sea view.
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.
Utopia is really welcoming and friendly. You never feel rushed to leave and it’s a great place to read, study, play board games etc. Quite easily the best coffee in Southend and lots of homemade cakes too, with vegan and gluten free options.
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.
We love The Woofer, the kids love The Woofer and the dog loves The Woofer. Great food option for everyone (including gluten free bread option for me!) even a puppaccino and biscuit for the dog. Staff are great; friendly and efficient.

Brilliant to have a dog friendly pub and competitively priced drinks.
Would have got 5 stars if they served gluten free lagers.
Since writing this review the Management now stock Gluten Free Peroni.
This is now my new local 👍😉
Celiac friendly
