Brightside Roadside Dining Exeter

This is by far my favourite restaurant, being a coeliac is difficult when it comes to finding a decent place to eat, this place here just absolutely lives up to all expectations, the gluten free menu is perfect and has a large range of different meals, I've been multiple times and tried a few different things off the menu but my favourite is the GF Hot honey fried chicken burger 🍯🍗 🍔 The Halloumi fries are also a must! 😍 The staff here are incredible and the service couldn't be any better, the food service is quick and the staff always make sure everything is perfect with your meal and are happy to help if not! The only reason I marked it down by 1 star on Atmosphere is because I feel like it should be a whole lot busier for such a great restaurant 🤩 Places like this deserve our custom. Also in the females toilet I noticed a trolley for everybody's access with all different types of sanitary products and lady bits and bobs which I think is very thoughtful😊 Not a lot of places have the same little touches as Brightside! Will always recommend this place 👌🏼

Great start to our return road trip. Having a Gluten and dairy allergy daughter, the specific menu out her at ease from the get go.

We entered the restaurant thinking that this is gonna be good and was greated by a lovely male server who offered us the menus. My girlfriend has extreme allergies to Gluten and were happy to see a Gluten free menu. We ordered the Pork Breakfast role and Avocado and Toast from the Gluten free menu and also a mocha. The mocha was ok . The food was served and my Pork Jolly Roll was extremely salty which I dowsed with Ketchup to remove the taste of salt from it, what worse than my unpalatable food was my girlfriends burnt avocado toast which she was looking forward too. We told a lady server about it and all she offered us another toast. My girlfriend said ok to it but instead of giving us gluten free toast was given normal toast which would have killed my girlfriend. My knowledge of food made me recognize it.We mentioned it to first male server who said he was a manager and he was extremely apologetic about it all and also did not charge us for the meal which to be honest we wanted to pay for as we are not free loaders. Staff needs training when it comes to allergies as people can die here if not served the right food according to their allergies.Also there was an operation manager sitting in one of booths with her dirty shoes on top of the bench and that to us was not expected from a member of staff and we have the picture of it, if needed I can send it to owners or managers. Will not return to this place as it seems to be unsafe.
