Top 50 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Explore in Shrewsbury

Darren Andrews

A cosy coffee shop that serves excellent loose leaf tea and amazing cakes. Seriously the carrot cake was delicious! It's a lovely place to take a break from exploring the city or shopping and has reasonable prices. Gluten free and vegan options are also available and delicious. Well worth a visit. The staff were friendly but not as welcoming as they could have been, they were pretty busy.

Lovely food, attentive staff who catered brilliantly with my coeliac granddaughter. I’m impressed with the range of gluten free food your restaurant offers. Thank you.

Popped in for a new year's day brunch, dog and gluten free friendly. The food is locally sourced, seasonal and very tasty although I found that there were only a few vegetarian options available. I opted for the mushrooms which were fantastic. I like that they have an option of a small or large portion as I often only want a smaller meal. Overall very good, tasty food with super service.

Charlotte Roberts

What an absolute find for gluten free choices. An entire menu to chose from and so much choice!! The Korean chicken burger was to die for!! All four of us had gorgeous food. Absolute must to visit

Jennifer Fearon

Love this place remind me of my husband and I were in Europe for lunch on the square. Lovely Italian foods, got gluten free and vegetarian foods etc.

Holly Pearson

A lovely experience for evening dining with brilliant service. The servers explained the small plate dining and recommended order size perfectly and a great understanding of allergies, including gluten free. The prices aren’t cheap but the food is very good!

barbaranne Jones

Ate here this evening- was surprised at the quality of food and lovely staff- would like to thank Ruby for her help when discussing options for my husband who is gluten free. A lovely and friendly service

Ash S

tasty handmade fire oven pizzas, a little pricey with one size but more than makes up for it with flavour. there's an endless range of choices both savoury and sweet, and is veggie, vegan and gluten free friendly. will definitely come here again!

Kevin Davies

Stopped in for a Cake and Hot Chocolate. A couple of Gluten Free cakes available plus a range of other fresh cakes. Worth a visit when in Shrewsbury. We called in on a wet day, but we nice to sit outside in better weather.

Debra-Jayne Kimlin

Yay! Gluten free fish and chips. They didn't even have the separate vat on, but they fired it up just for me. And made zero fuss about it! Thanks so much, guys!

Alison Pritchard

Great food, the quality and the choice. The gluten free options are delicious. The service is also excellent . This place is well worth a visit either for takeaway or sit in.

Whichdoctor

me and my girlfriend shared one gluten free full english between us with a side of chips each last week and it was both delicious and a nicely filling lunch. And the service was brilliant. A lovely young staff member played the grand piano for us! Was a lovely experience and very reasonably priced for the quality

Julie Ball

Brilliant customer service. Lovely food. Attenuative manner from the staff. I have a gluten and lactose intolerance. This was understood immediately so put my mind at rest as to what they were going to serve. Always good value for money.

Josh Charters

Really nice restaurant with friendly staff and excellent selection of gluten free dishes for those with dietary restrictions. Food was exquisite

Alison Finnieston

I went here with my husband prior to going to a gig in Shrewsbury. I had been a year or so previously and knew they were gluten free friendly. Firstly the service was dreadful. We were left sitting at our table for some time and eventually had to chase around to find someone who was willing to take our order. The starter arrived within a reasonable time, but there was a 40 minute wait for our pizzas. Again we had to chase around to find someone to ask about our meal. Eventually we were told they would put our pizzas in the oven as soon as the next lot came out. The pizzas eventually arrived, but at that point we were already late for the gig and knew we would miss a good part of the concert. My husband said his pizza was OK, however my gluten free pizza was awful. The base was really soggy and tough. It was so dense and leathey in texture that I could not cut it. It tasted like sawdust and looked undercooked. No one asked us if our meals were OK and we could not find anyone to complain to. As so much time of our time had been wasted, eventually we quickly paid and left. I was very disappointed in both the food and service and will not go back to Pizza Express.

We held a baby shower at the Riverbank on Sunday 23rd June. We had the whole upstairs area for 2 hours, with a little extra time at the start to get drinks. We were able to decorate the room in advance. I can not rate this experience highly enough, from the moment I booked the venue were very accommodating and easy to communicate with. The staff on the day were a delight to work with. We opted for the cold buffet and the guest all enjoyed there food, they also catered for vegan and gluten free. The price can for this can not be matched anywhere else in town.

Arron Hiscox

Very authentic place and great quality food. We ordered a platter for two, and although it's seems expensive, we struggled to finish it! The appetizers were also very good. Bacon bites, fried pickles, kids corndog and cheese pretzel were superb, but the Mac and cheese was something else! They were also very attentive to one of our guests gluten free needs, double checking the intolerance chart with us. There's so much on the menu I want to try, so we'll definitely be back!

chelsea clark

Slow paced.... Slow service and slow getting food and drinks but when everything did arrive was amazing!! Also lovely Gluten free options.

Jennifer Wadhams

Last night was my third dining experience with Osteria and it was truly incredible. The staff were amazing and as always, the food was delicious. Two of us had one of their pizzas and the other 2 had other dishes. They too were very happy with their selections. We also had starters and everyone loved what they chose. I had the calamari and it truly was the very best I've ever had. Two of us also had desserts. The lemon cheesecake was divine! I tell all of our customers who are visiting Shrewsbury and looking for dinner recommendations about Osteria and I tell them all it's the best pizza I've had since we returned from our honeymoon in Italy in 2016. For those with food allergens, I know how scary it can be to eat out. My husband is coeliac and we struggle to find restaurants with proper protocols to limit contamination. When I enquired about their protocols I was thrilled to learn how seriously they take food allergens and the lengths they go to limit possible contamination. I was also impressed by their menu selections for those with a gluten allergy. Most restaurants have a limited selection of gluten-free options. He has now eaten with them twice and has not experienced any of the symptoms he experiences when he has been contaminated at other restaurants. Perhaps the best praise I can give them is to say that if they ever close their doors I think all of Shrewsbury will go into mourning. Between the incredible staff, the cosy atmosphere and the authentic Italian food they serve, I can't think of any other place I would rather take friends for dinner.

Wonderful vegan dinner, so good we came back for breakfast and lunch the next day! Great for gluten free. Waitress was lovely. Friendly, great food, great location, a must if we're ever anywhere near Shrewsbury again. Highly recommended.

victoria jones

Absolutely wonderful cafe, food is amazing and the staff are super friendly too. The cafe itself was clean, well decorated with a lovely view if you sit at the window tables. The stairs are a little steep for a less agile grandma but there is a sturdy hand rail. I ordered a frittata and salad which was so colourful and full of flavour I was sad when it was all eaten! They had run out of the chocolate raspberry torte so opted for the chocolate beetroot cake, served warm and really good. All in all very good food at a ridiculously reasonable price. Very gluten free and dog friendly, little Ru loved his puppachino!

Excellent coffee and gluten free food. Nice

Roberto Huggs

A short walk away from most car parks (Shrewsbury does not have free parking), not a lot of seating, but I've always found a seat, Dogs are allowed, too. Really nice cakes and good choice too, gluten-free cakes are really nice Staff friendly and helpful Makes a change from coffee chains

Helen Barrett

A fantastic little cafe. If your Gluten free then u must visit. The breakfast was so good and they don't hold back on portion size. Cakes are massive. Staff are very friendly.

Calum Davies

Lovely setting with great service. Nice unique place to go to in Shrewsbury. Enjoyed my gluten free egg sandwich

Jesleen Kaur Kooner

lovely friendly staff with a family feel, food was amazing too! so great to have gluten free options also😁 would definitely recommend!

Kelly Davies

Amazing place, fantastic how it’s such a safe and inclusive venue. The food is so yummy with lots of vegan and gluten free options, there’s something for everyone. My son love the games consoles, he sits with his cousin for ages happily playing giving me time to sit and chat with a delicious hot chocolate to my sister. Great place, highly recommend! Even the toilets are great, lots of free essential products and inclusive but great facilities for anyone with a disability.

KP Thomas

Lovely riverside location with good food. Brilliant service from Riley and the kitchen who sorted out an issue (I forgot to check a dish was gluten-free) quickly and with no fuss.

Matt Lester

Great place for gluten-free

Adam G

Stopped here for a lunch on my way home. Not really a fan of salad but the beetroot salad they do for starters on the set menu is actually quite good. They even serve gluten free bread for starters with dips and did a tasty chicken Shish for mains. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes a good Mediterranean cuisine. Big shoutout to the friendly staff who work here too!

Robert Gibbons

First time here.Great service.Gluten free available.Jan had a rice desert.Absolutely gr8

Sophie

Great selection of tacos. Gluten free! Super friendly and helpful staff. Very accommodating

Shane Goddard

Easy parking just outside. Gluten Free Haddock was a delight. Fish tasty and the GF batter thin yet crispy. The chips were proper big old fashioned Chip Shop chips and equally as tasty as the fish. All served with a smile. Takeaway only. Prices very decent. Brilliant Fish and Chips.

George Warwick

Super little restaurant. Always avoid the chains and it usually pays off. Great, friendly staff and a comprehensive menu, most of which is available as a gluten free option. Made my 50th birthday trip to Shrewsbury even more special.

Robert Deeming

Best burger I've had in a long time, if not ever!!! And to top it off not only do they cater for coeliac's (gluten allergy) but the staff actually know what they are talking about and put my wife at ease with ordering her meal. 100% will be coming back and wouldn't hesitate in recommending to anyone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ps picture is my wife's, I was too impatient to take a picture of my burger

Iain

Great coffee shop. Excellent, attentive, friendly staff Very relaxed Excellent coffee, plenty of vegan and gluten free cakes LGBT friendly

Lucian Lazar

I would definitely recommend this to anyone that has a vegan gluten-free diet and not only, as the food is tasty, fresh and healthy.

lucie colwell

A teeny cafe with a BIG heart! ♥️ We were on a short break in Shrewsbury and our Airbnb was not far from Darwin's. So an ideal stopping point when we were tired and thirsty! As tempted as I was to have a Pina colada milkshake, I went for the non-alcoholic version while my son had a peanut butter one. I was also able to have a delicious piece of gluten-free carrot cake. They cater for dietary requirements really well. We enjoyed it so much we made a plan on the spot to return after check-out on the Saturday morning!! A full English really set us up for a looonngg day of travelling. Despite being ever so busy - both staff were so friendly and we bought some Shrewsbury biscuits for family (including a Vegan version, wish there was a gluten-free one but I know myself how hard it is to bake with GF flours!) Great value for money and proper home cooked food with quality ingredients. We loved our visit and hope to be back soon.

Nick

We prebooked out table and the team were very welcoming. The reason we booked because on line it stated they did gluten free . When ordering food they really had no gluten free only lamb kebab. They said they had no gluten free pasta and other dishes were unavailable.

Stephanie John

Great lunch menu. We struggled a little to find gluten-free options but we were OK in the end. It was affordable, the staff were very nice & everything was fresh.

Wendy WILLIAMS

Gluten free bacon sandwich. Nice quality really enjoyed.

Andy P

The manager was extremely helpful to my coeliac wife....thank you.

Jean Andress

A really good pot of tea and gluten free cake and a decent sized cup of coffee. Just the job!

Jennifer Fearon

Years ago the foods used to be lovely but now it has changed maybe new chef. I had grilled chicken with bacon gluten free sandwich club, asked swap to feta cheese instead of melted cheddar cheese but still charged for feta cheese! Also few months ago I had vegetarian breakfast - halloumi cheese it was over cooked, avocado were bit brown , poached eggs were uncooked.

Sarah Prince
