my gluten free dinner is microwaved I was told this by the manager and thewaitress... my fiancé's spag ball was reheated was goin to have desert but was turned off it because of the microwave dinner
Incredible tradition fish and chips. Option for gluten free (in a separate fryer for a fair fee on any day of the week). So refreshing to have a local chippy who knows how to prepare it safely, but especially amazing to have it each day and being so delicious
Birthday celebration meal with 23 people. Arranged food order in advance. Meal served promptly and all food delicious. Everyone really enjoyed the meal. Staff very pleasant and efficient. 2 of the party gluten free and able to order from gluten free menu.
This visit was a birthday gift and it exceeded all expectations (So thank you Aunty) the dinning room is decorated beautifully and in keeping with house next door (78 Derngate) for those that do not know this dinning room is attached to Charles Rennie Mackintosh house which is also well worth a visit.
So to the afternoon tea. Sandwiches & pastries came on a 2 tier cake plate. Presentation could not be faulted and knowing that we eat with our eyes, this was sumptuous. Word of warning unless you have a hearty appetite, be careful here or you'll never make it to the cakes! Yes the cakes also came on a 2 tier stand, overflowing with an incredible selection. Again Presentation took 'awesome' to a whole new level. As an extra we had prosecco and it was a very generous glass topped with a raspberry. All presented on beautiful vintage crockery. They have obviously put a lifetimes worth of thought into this venture and it shows. The staff (owners) are very friendly and ensured we have a lovely time and we definitely did. And they also cater for vegetarian, vegan & gluten free so long as they know in advance.
Now the dinning room is on the ground floor but it is well worth noting that this is a very old listed building and the toilet facilities are downstairs which are narrow and a little steep so bear that in mind if you plan to visit. There may well be a more accessible toilet, it might be worth checking!
We were both well impressed with our tea even though we had to take quite a lot of it home with us (oh dear, how sad!) So would we say it was value for money, absolutely. Would we go again, yes. Can't wait to get home, check my calendar and see when we can book up again. But don't take my word for it, try it for yourself, you won't be disappointed.
Food was as you would expect from a family style restaurant. The ribs were cooked to perfection and fell cleanly off the bone. The salad bar was fresh and regularly restocked. Service was good. One of the better harvester restaurants. Unfortunately head office have changed the app for allergies lumping all items together eg tomato soup contains gluten - it doesn't but the bread roll it comes with does. Staff were very helpful and checked ingredients for me. Disabled toilet by bar - radar and key behind bar. Good access just remember to put car registration in tablet by entrance for free parking
Lovely breakfast with my family here today, food was of really high quality and they catered for me being Gluten Free no problem! Even the lovely cake selection had Gluten Free options which I normally can’t join in with when eating out with the family, so it was definitely refreshing and appreciated! Everything was really tasty! Super clean and friendly what more can you ask for, thank you :)
I made a booking for 10 yesterday and even though we had to wait a little for our table to be ready we were seated by Pablo who was looking after us for the evening. Pablo was absolutely fantastic! Friendly, helpful with everything we needed and knowledgeable about the gluten free options (2 of our party have coeliacs disease)
We couldn’t have asked for a better server for our evening! Absolutely brilliant, thank you again Pablo!
