Dangerous for Coeliacs – Zero Stars if I Could I’m absolutely appalled by my recent experience at Haven. I requested a gluten free option due to not just dietary restrictions but the consequences of my allergy. Unfortunately my dietary needs were not taken seriously. Within hours, I became very ill — something that only happens when I’ve been glutened. Either there was cross-contamination in the kitchen, or worse, they served me food that wasn't actually gluten free. In either case, it’s unforgivable. Coeliac disease is not a trend or a preference; it’s an autoimmune disorder that requires strict adherence to a gluten-free diet. One slip-up can lead to days or weeks of recovery. If you have coeliac disease or any serious gluten intolerance, I strongly advise you to avoid this place. They’re playing roulette with people’s health, and I wouldn’t trust them with mine again. Use caution, and consider dining elsewhere where food safety and dietary restrictions are respected and understood.
