Top 16 Gluten-Free Accommodating Spots to Relax in Ambleside

Paul Patashnik

Very highly recommended. Overall, an excellent B&B in the centre of Ambleside with a café and its own bakery. It has a slightly quirky off-beat feel but it is high quality. All the staff were terrific. BUT beware of the being allocated an attic room where there are two low roof beams, a step and low archway from the room front door into the bedroom and a low ceiling as you exit the room to go down the stairs. However, we passed rooms on the lower floors and they looked fabulous. Breakfast in the café next door was enormous with gluten avoiding options and great coffee! The bakery makes excellent bread and cakes, fresh every day. The bath buns are enormous and my non coeliac wife drooled! As the gluten containing products and gluten free products are baked in the same bakery, the café quite correctly informs those of the Coeliac persuasion that while the gluten free products are made with non gluten ingredients, the bakery cannot guarantee that there is no cross contamination with gluten containing products. I had gluten free bread for breakfast and sampled the café’s gluten free falafel wrap and apple pie, all of which were excellent and I had no digestive problems. Those who are very sensitive with the Coeliac allergy might feel the need to avoid these gluten avoiding products. Parking in front of the B&B is limited and difficult to access but there is plenty of designated off-street parking a couple of minutes away.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. The pizza is the best gluten free pizza we have had outside of Italy.

Delicious breakfast and excellent coffee! Stopping through Ambleside on our way to Penrith after some hiking and couldn't recommend Copper Pot enough! Suitable for the coffee snobs, a range of vegetarian, dairy free and gluten free options with plenty of delicious cakes. Reasonably priced. Very friendly and helpful staff, we were made to feel very welcome immediately. Even though the menu states "We don't have a build your own menu option" staff were very happy to swap bread around, remove items, offer additional sauces etc. Plenty of dogs inside and out, we would definitely recommend (especially for anyone missing their dose of a Melbourne-like cafe) ! *One thing I would advise is arriving early on the weekend if you don't have a booking. We walked in as a group of two and were seated straight away but literally the last table free, 5 minutes after opening. Food service was quick though so people after us weren't waiting too long for a table.

Great night at lucy's on a plate. The menus are printed daily with a lovely daily notice on the front which i thought was a lovely touch. The food was delicious, great portion sizes and there were lots of gluten free options for my boyfriend. The steak was cooked great and was served with a heaping of garlic butter and peppercorn sauce (the garlic butter is insane) My only downside of the food was the chicken was slightly overcooked but the flavours of the dish and other components were great so balanced it out Staff were on the whole good, welcoming. Knocked a star off because the relaxed environment meant that staff often were talking a lot to the guests and it took a while to get our orders in.

My favourite eatery … fabulous food with gluten free options … and a view that’s spectacular. Always super service and the bestest coffee there is ….

It’s always tricky eating out as a coeliac (gluten allergy), however I really appreciated the effort that the staff went to this evening to rectify a mistake with my order of gluten free food. A whole new meal was cooked and they provided a drink on the house. The food and atmosphere were both great. Thanks team!

The food was absolutely stunning! The presentation was top-notch. 👌 Delicious gluten-free options, as they usually tend to be tasteless. I will definitely come back and bring friends and family because even the meat-eater loved it too! The flavor and meal options were superb!

Staff and food very good. My wife is Coeliac and the staff were on the ball in understanding and knowledgeable about gluten free.

We have been here a week and had lovely dinners but unfortunately our night with you on Sunday when we decided to have the roast has unfortunately shadowed over the other lovely meals. My partner had the lamb roast which we questioned as it looked like pork and had stuffing we couldn't see. I had the gluten free ribeye beef roast and it was terrible, so fatty and I asked for no cabbage and still received it. Both dinner tasted as if they had been heated up in a microwave and basically mostly inedible. I was still hungry and afterwards and ordered the gf soip from the starter to fill me up. Do not recommend the roast. The other meals are lovely though. At the end of our roster dinner meal they didn't end up charging us for the gluten free meal out of curtisy. Also like to add there are certain staff that need to pay more attention when taking orders and when questioned about items on the menu. Especially when the question is repeated more than twice.

We ordered the gluten free nachos and a butter pie. The pie was perfection, and as a Wiganer I know my way around a pie. The mrs is gluten free and there was loads of options available. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend. Up the tics!!!
