This is my favourite cafe. The staff are so lovely and it’s the best experience walking into a fully gluten free cafe and ordering whatever you want

Danila Bernardo

Gluten free Margherita was very tasty.

Stefanie Dixon

Ansh was an amazing server as was the host whose name we didn't get. Amazing last lunch in the UK with family. Thanks for always being brilliant. Amazing gluten free pancakes were a hit!

Lovely little pub great gluten free selection of both food and drinks and also low or no alcohol options. For anyone with poor mobility or wheelchair user there isn't any wheelchair access that I could see and stairs entry approx 10 stairs up (however stairs have hand rails each side) there are also inside a couple of small stairs inside to use the gents or ladies loos. Looks like they do summer outdoor gigs and sip and paint events too.

From the get go, our server Claudio was EXCELLENT! My partner is Coeliac intolerant and we always struggle to find anywhere to eat because of gluten containing foods. Claudio was on the money with everything. She was very efficient in her work and made the experience very warming. My kids had an amazing time and so did my partner. Would defiantly visit again to this establishment. 5 star service, food was brilliant!

Ivan Milenkovic

It was an opportune Friday no-kids dinner for the two of us. The staff were great - saved the whole experience. The food - not there really. Great that the choice of gluten free options is fantastic (that was our deciding criteria). BUT I had to return the steak as it arrived as a piece of bouncing rubber, drenched in gravy. #2 was ever so slightly better (read edible), still drenched in gravy... All in all, there are much better options nearby.

Lee M G Wolfe

Exceptional service and excellent food and good gluten free selection will recommend to everyone I know. Thank you

Tom Hizzle

Amazing Gluten Free Chinese. Very knowledgeable about the products they use aswell as making changes for celiac and intolerance. Best Chinese restaurant & takeaway in Reading

Anja F

Food was absolutely delicious. The service was so-so. Had to ask for utensils several times and remind servers on what we ordered. The place has very lovely atmosphere and they had options for me even if I required gluten free and dairy free food. We took several starters and two mains - all very really good. Overall happy to repeat the experience ◡̈

Alan McClafferty

Went for lunch. We had the fixed price menu which gave great gluten free options.

jess scrivener

Raf ate it up, very accommodating, repeated our order back to us which was important as we had 3 gluten free and 2 vegetarian people so our dietary restrictions were catered for well

Fil-Italian Sa UK

Great food excellent service. No pizza unfortunately. Food portions are quite large for kids menu. Few vegan options but they do gluten free options for pastas.

Amy Ferguson

Our favourite fish and chips destination in Tilehurst! Great selection of menu items, a day when you can order gluten free food, great portion size, never tastes really greasy, busy at popular times but worth the wait, and the staff always very friendly

Olivia

Came here for my birthday dinner after seeing all the positive reviews. So impressed with the quality of the food and the presentation! The staff are warm and welcoming and this pub has such a lovely atmosphere. There are fantastic alternatives for those who are gluten-free as well. Will definitely be returning again!

Tilly Phillips

Coeliac approved !!! Incredible with allergies, I had an amazing dinner and very friends service from Will and Abby. I would 100% recommend!

Kyra Kayani

I came into the oracle yesterday and was greeted by a server called Orin. He was very helpful with my gluten allergy. The food was very good and arrived quickly.

Dalma Raymundi

Beautiful place, atmosphere, landscape and good service. Gluten-free dishes available.

Tammy Storrow

Visited here with friends (their choice rather than ours) but what a lovely surprise this place was! As gluten free I'm always nervous about trying new places but the menu is marked up and quite a few options. I opted for the Peanut Crunch Salad and some Hashed Potatoes. The salad was beautiful! I'd happily have that every day. It's so clean and fresh. Warning about the Jazzy Broccoli with spicy sambal! I nabbed a bit from our friend and it was so spicy!

D KA

I just had my first fish and chips in about two years as I became gluten intolerant. I was so impressed. The food was great, well cooked, good portion sizes and priced affordably and the same as if it contained gluten (which anyone who is coeliac will know is a rarity)! I really enjoyed it. I appreciate them dedicating Tuesdays to cater for those of us who are gluten intolerant. It was a real treat. Thank you Finns!

AJ

We went for lunch with my husband. The place is lovely, the service was outstanding and the food was absolutely amazing! I’m dairy- and gluten-free and they made me a delicious bowl of Bibimbap. My husband loved his dishes as well, and the people working there were so kind and lovely. The bathrooms were super clean and pretty. We’re definitely coming back!

Danielle Cowley

Delicious steaks, perfectly cooked. Our waiter was very helpful and attentive with respect to needing gluten free menu and food for 1 of our party.

Chris Jones

Very good food and service. Accommodated gluten free / ceoliac very well - was a treat to have a gluten free chicken burger.

Razvan Alin Chiuzbaian

This place would get you freshly made products along with a good customer service and a cozy family atmosphere. You can get gluten free products, vegetarian, etc. Easy access within the community and a small terrace just outside. Prices are just right for the quality provided.

Alissa Sanchez

£20 for some chicken strips and chips that were McDonald’s level quality. There’s one gluten free item on the menu- advertised as a “gluten free cheeseburger”.. yet I was charged extra for having cheese on my cheese burger.. I didn’t ask for extra.. they charged extra for cheese on a cheeseburger. Small and dry burger for £16. Put me off TGIFs for life and I make sure dissuade others from going to any other TGIFs.

Mark Hughes

I'm a coelic. Last time I went to las iguanas (about 3 years) there was lots of gluten free options. But this time it was very limited, the menu has changed dramatically and as someone who doesn't like spice or salad my only choice was to have a burger with no bun and no sides which cost me almost a tenner.

Julie Wilson

Went here because we thought they catered for glutenfree, but although so.e of the breakfast could be adapted for a GF person, there were no cakes or baking available Very restricted. I also thought the staff were rushed and trying to get you in and out fast. It was very busy though.

Chris Hobbs

We were visiting friends and they took us for a spot of lunch. Lovely quaint feel to the place. We were lucky to visit on a sunny day so sat outside at one of the many outdoor tables. Decent choice of food and there was a good range of gluten free options if thats a must. Food was very tasty and was served quickly. Didnt see much of the inside but it struck me as the type of place that had that lovely cosy feel when the weather takes a turn. Dog friendly and plenty of parking. Definitely worthy of a visit.

Richard Allan

Really tasty takeaway, offering pick up and delivery (which can be slow at peak time) plus it is a nice place to eat in though somewhat cramped at busy times. There is a reduced gluten free menu, no red/green curries but plenty of stir fries and rice noodle dishes to choose from and my veggie pad Thai was excellent. Pretty good value overall and probably my favourite place to eat in Caversham.

Julie Haw

Loaded Hashbrowns and Gluten Free Pancakes. Large servings. Good touch. Well balanced flavours. Coffee was too watered down.

Stuart Keeble

Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free diners all happily accommodated

Martin Bowers

Good food, good Gluten Free options, and perfect service from Robert

The Travel Hacking Life

Authentic Mauritian Cuisine & Warm Hospitality! I visited Flavor of Mauritius with a group of 22 and opted for the two-course meal, as it was my first time trying Mauritian cuisine. For my starter, I had the gluten-free platter, and for my main, I chose the Chicken Daube. I also ordered an extra dish, the Chicken & Egg Upside Down Bowl, since I wanted to try something different. To drink, I had a cocktail, though I can’t quite remember the name. All the food was delicious, and I really enjoyed the variety of flavors. The restaurant atmosphere was great, and the bar near the entrance added a nice touch to the setting. It looked like a family-run business, with both partners managing it. They were warm and accommodating, making us feel welcome. The two servers looking after our table were also diligent, attentive, and quick to resolve any issues, which made the experience even better. Overall, Flavor of Mauritius offers amazing food, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent service. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience authentic Mauritian cuisine in Reading!

Tammy Storrow

What a lovely experience! I grew up in an area where there was an Indian restaurant on every road and as a result end up never going out for Indian cuisine because it was all the same. When a friend suggested Clay's we figured we'd give it a try and what a breath of fresh air it is! The curry is not the "meat in a curry gravy" I remember when growing up. You'll find thing like venison and liver and an explosion of flavours. The menu is marked with allergens (in-store but not online). As gluten free there were so many options for me with no reaction.

Rohan jain

Prezzo is an amazing place if you want to try something Italian They do amazing pizza's, pasta, burgers, calzones and desserts They have a vast menu for vegetarian, vegan and gluten free They do not do any vegetarian or vegan burgers Good options of wine, cocktails and beers. The desserts are amazing and i will totally recommend the chocolate cake Do register for their updates, as you may get good discounts (like one free prosecco bottle or 2 dessert

Nicky Gibbens

Had coffee and a vegan/ gluten free granola Flapjack. Both excellent as was service

HaniaBanania

Lots of gluten free choices and Stefano was very friendly to talk to

Lyn Brayshaw

Excellent supportive advance planning for an 80th birthday big family meal. Gluten free, vegan, 'fussy eaters' and last minute changes all catered for brilliantly. Great service from all staff on the day too. Thank you for such a memorable day. We made a photo book!

Do any of you have a wheat or gluten allergy? This place has 1 batch of gluten free muffins made fresh every morning. They change the flavours every day. The one in the picture is Cherry and Chocolate muffin. Very nice ! These are on my regular route to pick one up every time I’m in town. In most places I can’t eat anything, here I can treat myself. I wish they added a line of gluten free sandwiches too. Maybe they will in the future.

sarv s

I found one of my favourite sandwiches in this place. Go and try a limited edition lobster roll in this branch and enjoy. It was so fresh and delicious. They also have a gluten free sandwich.

Zabrina C

Not a huge amount of gluten-free options, especially for dessert. They do have GF burger buns but they had run out by the time I had ordered. I know this particular branch can't do much about the dessert options but maybe Beefeater could look at having something that isn't just plain ice-cream or a fruit salad? Does blue light discount, which is great!

Rick

Every time I come here with my wife or friends the experience is great. The food is fabulous and even this description was exceeded tonight by what my wife described as the best Gluten Free pizza she has ever had. But more than that the staff are fabulous. We had a slight issue with my wife's cocktail which I will not explain because it is not important..... what is important is that the staff listened and sorted it........ thank you. The atmosphere is wonderful and don't get me started on their mango beer and black lager.....OMG!! This place goes under the radar but is better than possibly every other place serving pizza in Reading.....one of my faves is the pear and gorgonzola pizza.

Garry Silk

Last night we had a hearing dog (in training) . We were told as we entered that dogs are not allowed in the restaurant. We explained the situation and the new manager was really understanding. We sat and were seen to really quickly for drinks and were given a few minutes to choose our meals. Very well done . We found all the staff to be very attentive and professional. I , personally am coeliac. The manager explained the whole menu and also gave me other options. When meal was served it was pointed out . The manager personally came and asked how our meals were and had a chat for couple of minutes. Very good experience. Thankyou.

Anne-Marie Chapman

What a gem! Had an amazing meal with my 11 and 9 year old, we all felt like we were on holiday! A bonus that they can cater for gluten free as usually have to sacrifice something, not this meal! Will be visiting her often 👌

Michael Gallop

M Rhodes

An absolute gem in Caversham. Great coffee and some gluten free treats. Super friendly staff too!

Richard Allan

Spacious with pleasant atmosphere and view over the Thames. Gluten free options and a few plant based options (burger, pizza or the baked aubergine which was fine, slightly tough in parts and with too much runny pretend cream cheese). A couple of Renegade beers on offer (lager or stout). Large car park but was nearly full on a Sunday. Mid price but probably worth it for the views.

Richard Allan

Excellent service and atmosphere with good Italian meals including gluten free and some vegan options. My Penne Alle Verdure was reasonable but could be maybe spiced up a bit and the Pizzas looked a much better option (there are two vegan/no dairy options). Be careful with the grappa - it’s potent! Overall a very good family run restaurant.
