Robert Marriott

We’ve eaten at a Zizzi’s before, and loved it. We had a warm welcome from Kora, served us throughout our meal. She was very family friendly as me and my wife came with our 3 boys, came came down to their hight when talking to them, was fully and very patient. My wife has coeliac, and their gluten Free Pizza is lovely, and very tasty.

Just been for lunch at cote leamington and left feeling really disappointed. As someone who is gluten free cote have a gf menu, which looks good, but if you're also vegetarian there is basically one thing you can eat, which is a tagine. This might have been the worst food I've been served anywhere. It was flavourless water with chickpeas in. I have had tagine many times and I dont think this can be called that. The gf bread was like cardboard. Admittedly when I raised this they took it off the bill. My daughter liked her lunch menu steak and said that was nice. Its pretty in there but the atmosphere was lacking. Also, I noticed after I left that they add a 10% service charge to the bill, meaning I paid an extra £5, which I'd prefer not to have paid seeing as I left our lunch treat having only had a glass of water! Wouldn't recommend for anyone with any dietary needs.

Acacia Williams

Wow! I was absolutely blown away by this place. My friend is gluten free and we were looking for places to accommodate her. I had never heard of this place as I usually only go to the parade in Leamington. The atmosphere here was so relaxed and lovely. It was nice to see the owner working and he gave me good recommendations on the beers available. The food was amazing and I found it to be such high quality for the price we payed. The only thing I would suggest to the owner is to perhaps lower the price for the gluten free bread as the soup comes with bread for free for non gluten customers. Other than that I enjoyed myself and would definitely recommend people to visit, you can easily see the heart and soul that has been put into the place.

Best burgers and food around for sure, 100% the best Gluten free burgers by a mile , so tasty , not greasy and you really can tell the quality and care they put into making each one. Highly recommend

Angelo Abinants6

Fantastic service, amazing food best chippy around and even better they really take care of allergies etc being Ceoliac I have never had a problem with gluten free fish and chips. They taste exactly the same as normal ones. Highly recommend.

Alice Roberts

Wow, a hidden gem that I'll be using on a regular basis! Alice and the team catered for us at short notice and were so helpful. The gluten free & dairy free food went down a storm and we had so many compliments on it & requests to know more. Worth every penny and will be recommending to anyone who asks for catering advice. As a recently diagnosed coeliac the team were supportive, helpful and kind. Thank you so much for making a potentially tricky time easy to navigate.

Sarah was a star! Got our moneys worth for bottomless brunch… cocktails and food were delicious, even gluten free option

Mónika Bántó

Highly recommended, absolutely amazing! I had a really nice Gluten Free pizza

Unapologetic Me

We had a really tasty meal, a good few gluten free and vegan options. Although some of them aren't on the menu i.e kimchi and vegan egg. It's a longer wait because the manager has to take your order if you have allergies. The food was all delicious, the tempeh ssambap and the miso caramel ice cream were particularly scrumptious. The drinks are all really good too, though i tend to stick to non alcoholic drinks i had to admire to beauty of the pink gin. The only reason this isn't a 5 star is because it is very loud and I've always experienced a quite long wait, to be noticed or checked in on for drinks or to pay. It's a shame that you can't order for delivery if you have allergies.

Devraj Dutt

I was here for breakfast. Lovely staff. Had the possibility to have a gluten free sandwich. The only thing I felt was that it tasted like it didn't have any sauces or salt.

Andy Stratford

What a jewel of a pub! The pub looked nothing from the outside, but the place was like a tardis, once you went through the doorway to the stairs, down you go then as you walk through you see the canal and then a garden courtyard with vines overhead. For me the only disappointment was no draft ale's? Ok the craft beer which was gluten free tasted really good. The barman was brilliant, friendly and always making sure we were happy. So my question to myself again would I go back? For me it is difficult as no ales but as it was a great place to go I most probably would go again.

Maxine Robins

Its a shame they are unable to provide gluten-free fries of any sort, but the staff and service were very polite and knowledgeable, regatding my gluten allergies

Luca Emery

Went for brunch. Lovely food, great staff, very accommodating for gluten free. Will be going back

Richard Allan

Bright & spacious, excellent service with simple, high quality meals with gluten free and vegan options. Tomato bruschetta was tasty and the vegan spaghetti puttanesca satisfying. Gluten free plates were clearly labelled. The set menu was good value at £15 for 2 courses (usually not Saturday night but a special TheFork offer) washed down with a £15.70 50cl carafe of Pinot Grigio.

really great with gluten allergies and tasty food!

Unapologetic Me

I don't know if it's staff change or retraining but the quality has gone down a lot and prices have gone up. It cost over £16 for 2 standard subs on gluten free bread (50p per 6inch) They have noticably reduced the portion sizes of everything. I asked for more lettuce and you'd of thought i asked her to chop of a limb, i dare'nt ask for more sweetcorn, olives and gerkins so i left with my sub par sub and probably won't be going back. There are some new ingredients and a new allergens leaflet, which they seemed knowledgeable about which was really nice. I tried the tlc (tastes like chicken) sub and think it's a brilliant and welcomed option to the menu.

Yolandi Kluger

I suffer from celiac disease and need to avoid gluten, my partner ordered gluten free veggie supreme for me last night. I was in extortionate pain with my stomach swelling up after two slices. Please do not not order from Dominos as I feel that this is against the sale of goods act also feel that food standards agency needed to make a visit. I am not feeling well at all now !!!

Alexander Bavin-Crawford

Amazing cocktails, the Fire and Brimstone is a must! Excellent food with good portions at reasonable prices. Great selection of gluten-free dishes and good knowledge regarding options. Abbie was a great host and knew her stuff. We'll come again!

Jessica Morningstar

having read the reviwes this was not the best experience for us on this occasion - food was good a nice vibe to the place people working couples chatting, however despite their efforts the service was lacking and the food was slow, after 25 mins from ordering avo toast we were told there was "an issue" with the gluten free bread and it would be another 15 mins - perhaps they were ensuring no cross contamination but thats all we were told. I also think this place was overpriced, but perhaps this is normal for Lemington Spa - not in a rush to visit again.

nazineful

While the food was ok, the service and atmosphere were excellent. They were very helpful and accommodating for my gluten intolerance. Foods on the menu are clearly labelled and an allergen menu is available upon request. I had the brownie and vegan ice cream. I would return and try something else on the menu.

Jacob Wornham-Jones

Super adorable, quaint little place with incredible food, wonderfully friendly staff and lots of vegan and gluten-free options all at a reasonable price.

Alex W

They have a great play area for kids and offer gluten free sausage rolls at the bar! It's a great location

Sophie Small

Really great to get a follow up phone on a gluten free base order when I had added a topping with gluten by accident!

Charlie Ward

Great gluten free options. The gluten free pizza was amazing. It's a little frantic when it's busy there (understandable) but would highly recommend.

Devraj Dutt

Enjoyed my gluten free pizza here. Very accommodating chef, wholesome music, nice, relaxed atmosphere.

Tim Gledrie

Had an 18th birthday party for my daughter using their private dining room. 22 guests in total. Food was very good and all came out together. We were advised to submit our food request earlier in the day to avoid longer wait times which seemed to work out very well. Lots of Gluten free options on the menu too. There is a large screen TV in there which were were able to upload photos via memory stick and a Bluetooth sound bar to play our own choice of music from our phones Simran was very hospitable to us and we were able to come in earlier in the day to decorate the room. My only slight negative is there were a few displaced carpet tiles but this did not detract from our experience. We will visit again.

The best restaurant in Leamington, most incredible food I've ever had. I've lived in Leamington all my life and no idea how I've missed this place, a true hidden gem. The tapas is incredibly flavourful, I had vegan dishes and my friend had meat and fish and is also gluten free, so we can attest to the quality for veggies/vegans and meat lovers. Staff are lovely and very helpful, very relaxed atmosphere so they leave you to browse the menu at your own pace. The decor is incredible, certaintly the best looking restaurant I've visited in a long while. Will be coming back for definite. Highly highly recommend!!!

Jay “Jaybird” Harvey

Amazing food. Great service , good quality food, menu has gluten-free option too. On point with table service. Wine was delicious. Lovely atmosphere 👌

Dawn Wain

Lovely little cafe, simple but clean. Offering breakfast, afternoon teas, cakes and great array of teas. I am coeliac so had the gluten free carrot cake with a pot of tea. Everything was served on China, which was lovely. The cake was great and the staff very friendly. Highly recommended it.

Ash Bryant

Good gluten free menu

Ian Silva (GringoSabe)

Awesome place to chill and grab a bite to eat. Amazing options for Gluten Free and the GF pizzas are pretty decent base too. Friendly staff and clean toilets.

Antony Clayton

Reliably good quality coffee, cakes and service. The staff are attentive and efficient, always ready to help. In addition to mainstream selections, they also do a good range of milk alternatives. The soya coffee is excellent, as are the vegan and gluten-free cakes. Coffee shops these days have to please a wide variety of tastes, preferences and dietary requirements, Hashtag leads the rest, some, by a long way !

Duck Topliss

Lovely place staff are wonderful and accomodated our group. Turning off tv and heaters. Food was enjoyed. Plenty of drinks to choose from including gluten free beer. Linda was a star

Dominic Fuller-Lowe

For a chain, Costa is fine. Coffee is good (although more recently my lattes have been cold) but most disappointing is the lack of gluten free food and treats. For the size of the business, I'd expect better, especially when vegan options seem to be plentiful. Friendly staff and modern, clean environment.

Eli Langfere

Best cookies in town and exceptional gluten free options!

Miriam Treadway

Small local restaurant, design inside was simple but aesthetic. I went recently with 2 friends and we all ordered small plates and the food was very hit or miss. The seafood and vegetable dishes were better than the meat dishes. The ginger chicken was very dry and tough and not that flavourful. The best items were the prawn tempura and the marinated aubergine. They fo offer some gluten free items.

Charlie Ward

I really enjoyed the food. They were good enough to give me a full breakdown of gluten free items. It was mostly fish and rice but they were nice.

George S

Great gluten free options including bread

Joanne Stanford

We were seated and asked if we had allergies, and answered yes there was a gluten allergy. Although it wasn't explained, the menu was marked as to where gluten free option was available. Unfortunately, when it came time to order, it turned out the menu was totally wrong! The server's electronic device showed that the option chosen now contains gluten. However they couldn't tell us what options on the menu were still correct, we had to look at the screen which contained shortened names of the options available then read what they actually were on the menu while the server waited awkwardly. This put pressure on chosing something else in a rush. In addition the server explained the original choice was unavailable because the meat skewers were marinated in soy sauce "but if you want to take the risk you can". Soy sauce contains gluten, so no, it's not going to be something we "take the risk" on. Some of the other options on the device were opposite to the GF on the menu which didn't inspire confidence. Our food then came out so quickly we didn't even have our drinks yet, which made us feel rushed again. The GF tortilla wraps were not appetising at all. Please address the issues with the menu and put some time into training regarding allergies. This sort of issue is why we hardly ever go out to eat anymore and this special occasion was spoilt. We quickly left and went elsewhere for pudding. Take a leaf out of Wagamama's book, they seem to have taken the experience of eating out with allergies seriously. Atmosphere -wise, it was nearly empty other than large groups of drinkers, we were seated in what felt like a corridor and the walls next to my arm were filthy with splashes of food/drink. I wouldn't visit again even if we didn't have the issues around the menu.

Charlie Ward

Really good gluten free options.

Robert Cuffie

Simon Hague (Wheresmylunch Limited)

Awesome and with a Gluten Free real ale Rocky from Shiny Brewery.. 🙂😁🙌

George Rogers

Excellent gluten free lemon drizzle. Great location to relax in the open air.

We had a lovely experience at Blenz cafe this morning. They have an impressive range of vegan options, including cake and delicious hot chocolate that passed my daughters taste tests. There were also gluten free options. I had the flapjack with my mocha and again both delicious. The people working there were friendly and helpful, they happily looked through allergens for us. The cafe has a relaxed atmosphere, it is also noticably neat, tidy and clean. After dozens of visits it is always very well kept. It has recently had a revamp and is absolutely gorgeous.

Avrel Lee

Food was brilliant and gluten free x

Charlie Ward

Incredible food, and kind service. They provided gluten free options and their menu was easy to follow.

In short I would say it's one of, if not the best place in Leamington Spa for an incredible Gluten-free meal and dining experience. The Thai elephant is one of the places I've been meaning to go to for ages and I'm kicking myself now for not going in sooner. It looks amazing even from the outside but wow, it's absolutely stunning inside, especially if you have an appreciation for fine woodwork/ furniture making. Of corse i did not go in to just to look at the decor but it's definitely mention worthy. We went in for lunch yesterday, I asked at the front if they catered for allergies as i have a few and need to be especially careful to avoid gluten (inc cross contamination). They were so helpful, they looked through the menu and checked with the kitchen and told me i had quite a few options so we took a seat. There were quite a few options, more than I had even hoped for so to make things easier we had a look at the lunchtime set menu specials and again i wasn't disappointed with gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options. The satay starters were so deliciously moreish, beautifully marinated succulent skewers of creamy peanutty heaven cooked to perfection, I could easily of eaten them a few times over. For a starter of a set menu (under £15 for 2 corses), it was fantastic and a decent portion. For mains we had the sweet and sour chicken and the Thai green curry, both came with a bowl of steamed rice. They were both simply delicious. Now I do love sweet and sour in most of it's glorious forms so this was an easy choice for me and again it didn't disappoint. It had everything you'd expect, very flavoursome but also very light and delicate. I think it's great that they served our food in the middle of the table as it was easier to try both dishes and I'm so happy i did. The Thai green curry was incredibly delicious, deep, rich, fresh, light, aromatic and creamy with a pleasant amount of spiciness. Again very moreish and decent portion sizes. We finished everything and left feeling happy and satiated. There was no service charge added to the bill, though prosecco and I did leave a nice, well deserved tip. From the moment we stepped in there the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The music is mellow, the atmosphere is lovely, it's clean and well kept and has lots of lovely plants that must take some looking after. It seems really well run, even the little touches like the plates were warm and the glasses were chilled are very much appreciated. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about dining at the Thai elephant and will most definitely and unsurprisingly, be returning.
