Travellers Rest

ALLERGEN REVIEW: COELIAC/GF My partner and I visited last night for food and drinks. My partner made the reservation and the person taking the call asked if they needed to be aware of any allergies. Partner told them I’m coeliac and person on the phone understood that meant I’d need gluten free. This made me feel super safe from the get go as I’m still used to places not understanding coeliac. On arrival we were greeted by Mike and settled in with drinks. I spoke with Mike about the menu and the HUGE range of GF items. I opted for maple and mustard chorizo, beer battered fish and chips (partner had the steak), and to finish: chocolate brownie. I did double check about the “beer-battered” fish being GF and that it was definitely GF beer used. Mike and the chef both confirmed this. I felt very reassured, especially when Mike told me the chef was cleaning everything down to ensure it was free from cross contamination. Then, the little GF sticks and the chef serving me food herself - I was very happy that it was being taken so seriously. The food itself was amazing. The chorizo starter was a perfect starter to share as there was so much! Nice chunky bits with lots of the marinade in the bottom of the pot for dunking. The fish and chips (small!!!) was a great portion size, nice crisp batter and fish that just melted. My partner tried some and he said it was better than some gluten containing fish and chips he’s had 😂 dessert: again big portion size and again, glad we shared as we didn’t really have room for it but I’m a sucker for a brownie! After our meal, we spoke with Mike about how they were new owners and he explained that the chef specialises with allergens and it’s something that they’re proud of - and rightly so. I wouldn’t expect a country pub to be so knowledgeable but I was pleasantly surprised. Thank you so much. We will definitely visit again and recommend to ALL ❤️
