The Butchers Mate

We visited as a family group of 7 for breakfast to celebrate our sons birthday. We explained that our daughter has severe coeliac disease and requested some bacon and a poached egg for her (we had taken a gluten free roll with us), The server kept repeating that they could not guarantee there would not be any cross contamination and contradicted what she was saying about how it would be prepared, this made our daughter really worried about potential cross contamination so was not comfortable eating there as she had lost confidence in the food preparation. We ended up going to a local supermarket and buying food for her to bring back so she could enjoy the experience and be included. This was a very disappointing and we have not experienced at other restaurants before that claim to cater for Gluten Free. We would not recommend this cafe for people who have Coeliac as it was not an inclusive or enjoyable experience.

Amazing sausages and great breakfast options (including for vegetarian and gluten-free). LOVED our stop over here and worth the short diversion off the M4 to get really tasty food.
