Top 27 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Explore in Croydon

When we arrived at George Street it was great to see that it wasn't fully booked as we had been to Valley Park after the cinema and it was full. We had to wait a few minutes before someone came along to see us to our seat. I had particularly asked if we could sit away from the door and the young lady did just that. We then had to wait about 5 minutes before another young lady came to take our order and that was because she was clearing tables to be ready for the next customers. I had a problem remembering exactly what type of base for my pizza that I wanted and she tried to help me. Eventually, I remembered that I wanted a gluten free base. She was very helpful as well as very friendly towards us. We then waited about 10 minutes for our orders to arrive and they were very hot and tasted lovely. We were all happy with our visit to Pizza Express George Street and left with full tummies :-)

Love going to Ponte. The staff are friendly and courteous and always make us feel welcome - whether 2 of us or a big group. They also serve gluten free pasta and pizza which is great. The food is scrummy and its always a great night out here

Pizza Hut make a big fuss of Gluten free Bases - however none are available during the up to 3pm buffet and you have to order this from the main menu - I get that GF would never be just put out but surely the Buffet deal could include a made to order small GF pizza of choice?

We went to the restaurant to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. Loved the place, the ambiance and the atmosphere. The food is excellent, I loved the pizza and my wife loved her Salmone pasta. They also catered for my daughter who is dairy and gluten intolerant. Will definitely revisit and highly recommended if you haven’t been there yet.

Best fish and chips for miles - also do gluten free batter on request (phone ahead)

Angie Cherrie-Rees

Ordered gluten-free fish and chips for all my party even though only one of us needs it but thought it would just make things simpler. I have to say we, on regular non-gf diets, found absolutely no difference in taste or quality and in fact we were able to rate our meal as one of the best fish and chip experiences we've had. We all agreed... crisp, fresh and non-greasy... massive portions, chips with actual flavour, and both lemon and a portion of delicious home-made tartar sauce (I'm not usually a fan but this made me a convert for the real deal) all included in the very reasonable price. Super friendly, polite service topped it off. Our new go-to place!

I’ve been here a couple of times in the last 2 years. The food is good, prices are decent and I absolutely love the opera nights. We actually ended up booking one of the performers for a private event. I was really moved by the manager who went to buy gluten-free bread to meet my specific requirement for such product. Will definitley return.

Alessandro Butini

Always good to be back with great pizza selection and gluten free options

Ordered a salmon lunch box with wild rice, salad, squash etc at the stall on Surrey Street Market. This was the best food I have eaten anywhere in a very long time. Flavours were amazing, produce was good quality and I think it’s a bargain for what it cost and compared to some restaurants which serve average food for high prices. Seriously can’t wait to come back and get some more. The lady who served me was really nice and as im gluten free talked me through all the ingredients, none of which had gluten in. Hugely recommend this food. It was divine and so healthy at the same time. It was so so good!

Absolutely delighted with the opening of Ayat Kitchen Lounge. The food just amazing!, all fresh meats, salads, traditional and modern Mediterranean dishes, real food served with love. What makes this place exceptional is that it serves a wide range of desserts too covering gluten free and vegan and to top it off it's Halal. The Restaurant is vibrant and fresh, it also has a Sisha area at the back of the restaurant perfectly situated creating two different zones. Hats off to the owners as Croydon was lacking a family friendly halal restaurant. First class service from the staff.

This cozy cafe has over 1,000 board games, so there’s something for everyone, whether you’re a kid or just a kid at heart. The vibe is super friendly and laid-back.

I just wanted to say how tremendously impressed we were with the biriyani order. Both dishes (veg and chicken) were absolutely delicious, clearly freshly made, full of flavour and extremely well wrapped and presented so beautifully.There was also important reassurance regarding dishes being reliably gluten free. Thank you ever so much for both your and your colleagues professionalism with this order and its execution. It really made our event so special.

Marcus Langford

Lovely food, some gluten free options.

Claire Hogg

Really nice place for good food and coffee. I like the fact they cater for gluten free, vegan etc

Phil Arnold

Do you want a burger store that's got a wide variety of sides, jacket potatoes, and fabulous baconator fries... Service isn't fast, but the staff are very friendly! I've been told that the burners are great, but being gluten free I can't compare. Overall, please try this place if you're near, best of the fast food places in Croydon!

Lidia Oprean

The food is very good, there are some nice vegan choices and also the option of gluten free crust. The service was quick and nice, place looks very clean and the staff so so friendly. Will definitely eat from here again as it's also very close to me

Bethany Francis

Amazing! A friendly family run restaurant that does gluten free options! Great portion sizes, reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

Shakela

Excellent service provided by Nando’s Valley leisure park. Ana (manager) , Aden, Gabriella and serving staff were extremely helpful and very co-operative. Ana was very understanding and kept an eye on the dietary requirements (gluten intolerance) for my daughter. She exceeded my expectations in every way. On previous occasions all managers have been outstanding. All staff are always exceptional in ensuring food , service and atmosphere is met with high standards. Thankyou very much!

I have had delicious ice cream in Scoop Crodyon today. I was so delighted that I have found yummy, gluten free and vegan ice cream in Croydon!!!! the lady selling them was delightful and helpful and patient with 100s of questions I asked regarding ingredients. I am going to visit you again when I feel like having ice cream!
