Top 50 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Wales

Gilford Sweetenham

We visited on what seemed to be a particularly busy day, which unfortunately affected the overall experience. Tables hadn’t been cleared, and it felt like the staff were either stretched too thin or not effectively managed. That said, the gluten-free menu was impressive and offered plenty of options, which we really appreciated. I ordered the Buds Bowl, which sounded great on the menu, but it arrived missing key ingredients—there was no roasted squash or pomegranate seeds. With only one server visibly working and clearly overwhelmed, it was impossible to get their attention, and no one checked in to see how our meal was. Since we had to pay before eating, there was no opportunity to raise the issue or have it resolved, which left us feeling a bit disappointed. We’re keen to try the chain again at a different location because of the excellent gluten-free options, but we won’t be returning to this particular site.

Visited on 30/03/25 and the service was amazing from the servers, I didn’t catch her name unfortunately but the lady working there made sure our order was fully safe and gluten free for me to eat, reassured us it was okay, and was chatty with my partner and made us feel welcome, there was a little play area for our little baby, and when our baby bumped his head they gave us ice and marshmallows for him! Definitely worth the visit.

HUGE gluten free menu and absolutely delicious. I had the steak sandwich which was so yummy and smooth. The service was incredible and the view is great if you enjoy people watching. Definitely recommend for a nice lunch in the city centre.

I love going to The Lounges because of their huge gluten free menu. Ive been to a few and this did not disappoint. The food was great, a wide variety of gluten free options with a dedicated menu. The cocktails are always great and it's a nice cosy atmosphere. The staff are always friendly too.

DeAnna Hamlik

My husband and I love it here - they have a fabulous gluten free menu and ordering is so easy with their QR code!

Nigel Barson

Great place for people with food inflictions 😊. Separate menu for Celiacs, which was very impressive. Nice place, with seating inside and outside. Food very good. Service not that quick and had to be reminded that I'd ordered a desert. Would go again

Rex Morris

Brilliant experience. 4th different restaurant in the chain we have used now and they are always great! Brilliant food. Great gluten free options for myself. Staff were really friendly and knowledgeable. Will be returning.

This branch of the popular "Lounges" chain stands out for its unique charm and consistently positive atmosphere. One of the immediate draws of Croeso Lounge is its striking and eclectic decor.

Excellent food and service my granddaughter is celiac and impressive choice of dishes on the menu. Good value for money. Will visit again.

My partner is coeliac and not one, but TWO staff members mistakenly gave him a gluten-containing product. First the staff member on the bar when he ordered, my partner checked everything he'd ordered was safe, which the staff member assured him that he was. Secondly the server who delivered the oreo milkshake assured us that the biscuits on it were gluten free. It was only when I questioned the server repeatedly and asked her to double check the allergen list that the gluten was identified. Thankfully my partner didn't eat any. But he could have been seriously ill, and if someone with an anaphylactic allergy had experienced this then they could have died. Normally the Lounges are our #1 restaurant when eating out due to their diligence with coeliac dietary requirements. Unfortunately this has led us to put a lot of trust in the servers, and my partner was about to eat his milkshake before I questioned the server as his level of trust in the Lounges is high enough that he was willing to take her at her word. We will continue to eat at the Lounges chain as they have been brilliant every other time we've eaten at one of them. However it would be good if Portico Lounge could confirm that ALL staff at Portico Lounge will be required to undergo allergy refresher training, and that junior staff will be supervised by managers with more in depth allergy training.

Met my li'l sister here for a sister day and it was pretty perfect. It's a bit bright for us upstairs as there are windows along three walls but downstairs was a bit more den-like, which I liked. The staff were lovely and helpful. I am coeliac so I love a lounge (and spend a fair bit of time in them). It's just nice to know I can reliably eat there, although tbh a more interesting dessert selection would be nice. I am also pescatarian and dairy-free (a.k.a. ruddy awkward!) so I am generally just happy when there is something I can eat. So yeah, it's a lounge, predictable food, predictable (yet eclectic) decor and well trained, helpful staff. Best enjoyed with a sister (unless your sister is horrible, in which case my commiserations).

Karen Woodall

Great choice of gluten free food, served by friendly helpful staff.

Alison Lewis

Excellent! My daughter is vegan and there was a vegan and gluten free menu. I recommend the cheddar and sweetcorn fritters. They are delicious.

danielle fitzgerald

Gluten free, dog friendly, vegan options, beautiful meat dishes, fantastic decor and atmosphere. What more could you want? Honestly a hidden gem. Even gluten free beer. We had 9 tapas dishes, every one was divine. Best meal I've had in ages. I can only imagine what it's like to eat here in the summer. Me and my partners new favourite place. Perfect 👌

Shaun Hughes

The food was amazing. The resturant was clean, a lovely atmosphere and caters for gluten free. The staff were lovely and professional, thank you to Aron for suggesting what I could eat due to a gluten allergy. I definitely recommend this resturant

Nathan Stewart

Large food & drink menu, lots of gluten free options, and they have dark beer. Give the Nasi Goreng a go, it’s delicious!

Rhiannon Pritchard

What a place! Good is always outstanding and have a separate gluten free menu!

Samantha James

We had an amazing lunch here. I’m coeliac, my menu choices were explained and plentiful. We had prawn nachos to start. They were amazing! I had a beautifully cooked steak with garlic butter and Parmesan cheese. The lamb Kleftico pie looked outstanding. Outstanding, friendly service. Can’t wait to go back!

Vicki Rowe

Food was lovely, and staff were very friendly and accommodating. Decent gluten free menu too!

Heather Mason

An amazing restaurant! Service, food and location was excellent, beautiful view of the beach and a wonderful place to enjoy some top quality dinner! Also very accommodating for gluten free requirements!

Maddison was so lovely and very helpful with my gluten sensitivity throughout our meal, thank you! We had a great time

Meghan Mackay

First time here and it was great. The staff are friendly and it's nice and cosy inside with paintings by local artists. The food was tasty and they have a few gluten free options too - I got the gluten free bacon roll which was very nice. Would definitely come back again, a nice chill atmosphere, perfect for sunny days and a pint.

Beth Eastham

Beautiful place. Great gluten free pizza! Lovely views. Pretty pricey however really good food so don't mind paying for it

We ate there last Wednesday - the food was very nice and the service was very good. Mario and the kitchen team paid attention to my colleague's complex allergies and made a meal that was adapted for her. There are lots of chain restaurants in the Bay, but we came here because when I was phoning around to see who could take a group of 12 and handle one person's allergies respectfully without making her look demanding in front of new colleagues, Mario answered the phone and demonstrated what professional customer service should look like. He knew immediately what Cote's team would be able to do and didn't over-promise but gave me confidence that my colleague would not be left hungrily watching people eat and would not be made to feel bad for having allergies. I had been unpleasantly surprised that other restaurants did not respond as kindly as Mario. My colleague said Cote are usually pretty good, including a good gluten free menu. The food was well presented and well seasoned and the other staff were attentive too. Bottled water was a bit pricey. The restaurant was easily accessible for my colleague who cannot use stairs as it is quite well spaced out and flat.

Emmanuel

The food was delicious and lived up to what we remembered from our previous visit. We felt, however, that it wasn’t hot. Joel and Tosin really looked after us. The fact that Joel took the time to come over and go through the gluten free menu and reassured my fiancé, was really appreciated and showed excellent customer service. Fantastic!"

Bethan Paull

The burgers are just delish!! I’m gluten intolerant and my girlfriend takes on board eating gluten free meals too when we’re out (so we can share). I absolutely love trying the food that i haven’t seen anywhere else. The gluten free korean fried chicken burger. IS A MUST TRY. the iced lattes are just another level. I really love hudo lounge and the staff… THE STAFF. are just incredible, they’re not too in your face, it’s very much we’ll let you actually enjoy your food.

Lynda Smith

Called in after a cinema visit, we were a party of 7 and the accommodated us with no problem. The service was great and the menu was amazing and absolutely catered to some of our parties dietary need of vegetarian and gluten free. The young lady serving us was polite and efficent and the prices were good. I would highly recommend.

Matt Clee

Had a lovely lunchtime meal. As always they handled my gluten-free diet perfectly and my other half’s vegan diet. The staff were very friendly especially Dean who served us expertly. Thank you for a great meal.

James Hugglestone

Absolutely fantastic service from Jorja, friendly and helpful. As a celiac it's always awkward eating out, but our order was taken with no problems. The menu was straight forward and easy to navigate. Would definitely recommend to anyone with allergies.

Aaron FitzGerald

Lovely pub with warm, friendly service. Visited here for breakfast and Sunday lunch during a trip to Pembrokeshire. We were very pleased with the amount of gluten free options available as my partner is coeliac - she was blown away by how delicious the food was! Highly recommend and we will revisit! Thank you.

Kelvin Morgan

This wasnt an overnight stay just a food stop. Food was great with good options for vegetarian and gluten free

Hayley Brailey

Nice chain restaurant. Staff were friendly and considering it was an event night and they were packed, they were attentive. Impressed with their allergy process, the manager took my order, they were all aware and they informed and helped me rather than gave me a massive book to look through. Super impressed they had vegan and gluten free fajitas, which were yummy. Very nice Pina Colada too. Over all a thumbs up for allergy awareness, food options, atmosphere and service. The only improvement would be to have vegan sour cream

Sarah Rowland

Excellent gluten-free options

ANGELA LANDRY

Lyn was very helpful and lovely. She was very attentive. We all had the bottomless tapas and the selection was good and food delicious. They are very knowledgeable about Gluten Free and don’t make you feel awkward ordering for a special diet. Highly recommend this restaurant for food and drinks.

5 star all around. We came for a wedding but will definitely be back. Having spent a whole weekend Friday -Sunday night at the hotel and eating every meal there I feel like we got a good feeling for the place and we're really impressed. Friday night they were able to feed us as a whole party with ease and no fuss, everything arrived as expected and they allowed us to all pay separately. Handled it much better than so many restaurants I've been to that can't cope with large groups. They have all allergens marked on the menu which was really appreciated and they had a good range available for gluten and dairy free which was amazing. Everyone enjoyed their food and the staff were brilliant. Saturday and Sunday were more of the same, excellent staff, excellent venue, excellent food. Sunday we ate outside for lunch. If you want a roast you need to eat inside but pub food was available for the picnic benches on the green in front. A lovely place to sit and watch the animals wander by. We stayed in the self catering accommodation, all looks brand new and of a very high standard. I'd recommend for families as it was lovely to have space to sit in the living room and if you're on the ground floor there was a garden with chairs and a table. If you got both ground floor apartments you can open a gate between both gardens. If you're in self catering, breakfast is obviously not included in the price but we were able to pay to eat breakfast in the hotel no problem. Everything was so good, but final note, if you're looking for a wedding venue, it was brilliant, I'd very much recommend it. The big room for weddings was not too noisy with everyone talking which is appreciated and there's gorgeous gardens behind the pub. The wedding part is all behind the main pub so the pub could operate as normal and the wedding/ guests etc was all segregated behind with it's own bar etc which I liked. Ample parking, there was a min car park with Electric Vehicle/ EV charger as well as parking for the self catering next to that accommodation. Overflow car parking happens in front of the hotel. It was very popular and busy all weekend so I have a suspicion that booking a table ahead may be sensible or coming off peak.

The food was OK, but the portions were a bit on the small side for the price, although I went for 3 small plates and perhaps that was a bit too little for me. Sponge of my sticky toffee pudding was dry. Service was good though, and there were plenty of gluten-free options for my wife.

Michael Roberts

Lovely little restaurant right on the river with delicious freshly made food. Plenty of gluten free options as well.

Anne Arscott

Having called in for coffee, shakshuka and gluten free sausage sandwich on our way over to Anglesey. We were compelled to call in again and enjoy the great atmosphere, superb service and food. My husband had to go again for shakshuka, I tried the light breakfast and spiced chai with lactose free milk. Great value for money and great meal. Thanks to Phil and the girls.

Michael Cox

Anna Corby

Went with a big group of friends who had a range of dietary requirements, catered very well for gluten free, veggie, vegan, nut allergies - a great relaxing experience!

Carol Mc

Paul Richards

Delicious food, great service and a good gluten free menu for coeliacs. The only issue for our party is that they had run out of all IPA! (Almost cost them a star.)

Nick Fowler Photography

Quality food with great vegan and gluten free menus.

It was an okay meal, didn't appear to be too busy when we went (Sunday lunch). we did have to prompt the waitstaff for our drinks to be brought over after waiting 15minutes. Food was brought to the table with a bit of a wait inbetween each person which left half the table 1/3 eaten before the rest to avoid going cold. Gluten free option available as menu states "can be made gluten free" but make sure to check the sides, im glad I did as one did contain gluten. Be mindful to check that they remove your deposit from the bill, as they hadn't removed ours and we had to show the verification that it had been paid as they hadn't noted it on our booking.
