We were really impressed with the options for Gluten Free it was bigger than most restaurants offer will defo bring my mum here (who is celiac). The tapas I ate was all really yummy and good value for money and good children's portions too.
There was a good selection of gluten-free dishes. Prices were reasonable for the quality of the dishes. The food was delicious and well presented. The staff were friendly and polite. Lovely restaurant with a good atmosphere.
Visited after the rebrand and had a mixed visit. The full English was lovely and as a coeliac I was well catered for with the server checking with the kitchen regarding my questions. Ingredients of high quality. Found the pricing quite steep - £1 extra for soya milk, making a flat white £4.90, £16 for a breakfast, which made me decide not to get a sweet treat as a takeaway. Service was slow, we had to visit the counter to ask if we could place our order.
Fantastic freshly cooked food. Locally sourced. Excellent service.
Loads of choices for celiacs. ( gluten free) including GF beer.
Fantastic lunch today. I recommend booking to avoid disappointment. You don't want to miss this place. Love it!!
Nice cafe. I was attracted here for a small number of allergy free items available. There’s usually a gluten free egg and cress roll, premade salad boxes, fruit, vegetable sticks packs and crisps that I can eat here. It can get busy here though at peak times. Nice staff, professional. Good location near town centre, the gym, the cinema, Goggling squid restaurant and plenty of parking nearby.
We were served by Ronnie
She was very attentive to us and especially our friend who has recently been diagnosed as celiac. Ronnie went through the menu with our friend and worked out with her, and the chef, what was possible.
The food that all three of us had was delicious and well presented......we WILL be back!! Also will pass on the information to others.
Thanks also to the chef.
There was a good lunchtime menu with plenty of choice. We three all had something different and were all suitably impressed.
Went to the stables for afternoon tea last weekend. We had three guests with food intolerances and they could not have done more to help cater for them. My daughter is dairy free and gluten-free and has other intolerances and they literally bent over backwards to tailor make an afternoon tea just for her. Two others were gluten-free and dairy free and it was the best afternoon tea they had ever had!! Cannot thank them enough for making the whole afternoon so special. We were not rushed, we felt really listened to and cared for. Our waitress was Ashli and she was amazing. We all had such a lovely afternoon.
I've only been there for the tapas but will try mains soon. The food is authentic Spanish and absolutely lovely tasting. The staff are very friendly and helpful, I had my little one and they were so accommodating. The also have Gluten Free labelled clearly on the menu
01/02/25 - UPDATE FOR GROUP BOOKING
A big group of us went for my husband's birthday (21 in total) we had set menu and some had a la carte. I created a spreadsheet for the restaurant to outline dietary requirements (gluten and dairy free) and how many adults/children etc, to which they were extremely accommodating. The service and food was absolutely brilliant and no issues. However, the only thing I would say is the portion sizes of the pork belly and paella were small. There was only one thin rasher of the pork belly for each person and it would've been nice to have at least two. Also there were only two paellas, I think three would've been perfect. It just fell a bit short of food for everyone to be full.
A lot to be said about Characters, good tasting coffee is what you need and they’ve got.
Note has some Gluten free and allergy options here at Characters cafe Wokingham. So added to my radar for the gluten free trail. Also jacket potato variations on the menu - favourite. Friendly staff willing to help and serve. Looks like a family run independent cafe with everyone working to make this a decent place to take a break, refuel and a respite from the cold, wet, rain or wind. I’ve always approve of supporting the independents.
