Had a wonderful meal and the best waiter ever, Baru made us feel totally welcome and nothing was too much trouble. There was a great selection of gluten-free options for me and the food was cooked to perfection. A lovely experience!
Thornton Bar & Eatery
Gluten-free options

Service was fantastic. There is a great garden area that we were able to take the dog. Offered a bowl of water for her too. Coffee was excellent. They have a fair offering of gluten free food, savoury and sweet. They were busy but everything arrived in a timely manner and with a smile. Will definitely stop again.
