What an incredible experience! The staff was very friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was great (we lucked out and got a shaded spot on the patio on a perfect sunny day), and the food was to die for!!!!! There were so many gluten free, vegetarian and vegans options to chose from. The GF mushroom bourguignon pie was superb, couldn’t believe it was gf (but certainly was!)!!! Will be dreaming about that meal for years to come!

Sat in a for a late lunch, ordered a gluten free pesto chicken sandwich and an iced oat chai latte. My friend got the grilled cheese with a flat white. Felt as though 15 quid was a bit expensive for my order - until the food was served! The sandwiches are massive and both my friend and I kept half for dinner. We both really enjoyed our meals! The staff were warm and welcoming, the cafe was relatively quiet for a Saturday at 12:45pm. There were a variety of cakes available as well, with a fair amount of gluten free and vegan options available. Staff clarified whether my gluten free sandwich order was due to an allergy or a preference. Overall, would recommend, especially for those with a gluten intolerance!

The billboard promise of a dairy-free, gluten-free chocolate orange torte drew me in for a sweet bite and a coffee. Was glad I stopped. Really enjoyed the ambience, the off-peak hours service was still welcoming and a few quiet moments off the busy high street. If you often feel deprived of dessert because of dairy/ gluten restrictions this one is worth it! Enjoy!

Sarah Travers-Spencer

Found this lovely little cafe by accident but so glad we did! Had the halloumi sandwich (gluten free) and my friend had the feta and beetroot salad. Both dishes looked and tasted amazing. We then had the caramel apple pie (also gluten free). You have to have it warm as the caramel starts to melt into the apple and combined with a dusting of cinnamon it is absolutely divine!!

Anna Majchrzak

Great gluten free option.

Nicola Raine

We went to the Monument for lunch today and loved it. As a coeliac, I could eat most things on the menu and the allergens menu on the back was really clear. I felt really confident to eat here. The food was great - I had falafel to start and veggie tagine with rice for my main. Both were delicious! The drinks options are fab and there was even had gluten free beer. My partner had the lamb burger and loved it. He loved that the the dishes are homemade, produce is local and has great flavour. We'll definitely be back :)

Carol Williams (Ms Blessed One)

The best gluten free battered cod I've had for years!

Adrienn Faklya

Great gluten free options! The pub's menu is misleading. It doesn't show or emphasize that they have great gluten free options. They can make most of their food options gluten free for you. They have gluten free bread and buns. They are also lovely people and try to work with you to find a meal you can eat and be happy with. Their parsnip soup is to die for. Great gluten free burgers! Their chips is not GF but they can make you sauté potato instead. Their torte is a yummy dessert. Just an overall nice pub with friendly staff and great homemade pub food.

Great cafe in Canterbury where the pancakes are gluten free and they have so many vegan options. Staff are always friendly and the food is great. We often take the grandkids as the pancakes are fluffy, a really good portion size, great flavour choices & good value for money. Definitely go here if you’re in Canterbury

Alessandra Keefe

Came here for a family meal on Good Friday. The gentleman behind the bar was quite stony faced and not particularly warm and welcoming or attentive with service but we were late for our table so I wondered if this was why. Our waiter, however, more than made up for this with a very warm demeanor and prompt service. The gluten free menu was extensive. Children's menu was a little lacking in inspiration. Food was absolutely fabulous. We had cauliflower soup, harissa carrots and lamb shoulder with daphinoise potatoes to share. Just couldn't fault it at all. We eat out a lot and it is the first time in a really long time that we have genuinely enjoyed the quality of food on offer. Our waiter was fab from start to finish and very attentive. All other staff we encountered were warm and smiley. We don't live in the area but are really glad we were able to eat here and we would definitely come back and highly recommend.

Peter Boereboom

Top cappuccino and delicious gluten-free muffins... top ten and super friendly and cheerful owner

Kristina Walker

A lovely little place not far from the cathedral entrance. Coffee was really good, decor is lovely with lots of cute/cool decorations and objects which together work really well and most importantly for myself was that they offered gluten free bread for all of their sandwiches and toasted sandwiches. It was a really good gluten free bread too, held together well which if you know gluten free bread isn’t often the case. I will be back on my next Canterbury trip!

Las Dunas Javea Holiday Apartment

So pleased to spot this place, saved us a long walk out of town. Also we were able to sit and being outside was convenient for us with our dog. Better still, I asked about gluten free and they were able to just flour the fish with gluten free flour and fry, no other chippy has given me that simple option. Some have special days for gluten free, good but not always the right time. Anyway both my floured fish and my husband's battered were really lovely and the chips were perfect. Many thanks.

John Stuart

Nice place. Good pub menu although not great for gluten free they knew what they could change.

Laais Reiter

They have lots of veggie and gluten free options, and pretty good

Emily

We had a great time here for my birthday! We were staying in Canterbury for the weekend and happened to walk past, after searching the reviews we had to try it. The gluten free pizza and pasta was some of the best I’ve had. They even brought over a baked gluten free cookie with a candle in it for dessert, which was so so delicious. We had a wonderful, attentive waiter and the food arrived promptly! So good we came back the next day for lunch!

AVA G

Great place which caters to all allergy needs- gluten free/vegan/vegetarian. Lots of options to suit all requirements. Amazing gluten free chocolate cake , I'll be back !

Haider Khan

Great staff, gluten free food that tastes good

Carol Woodifield

Nice local pub with plenty of seating areas. They also have a good menu with a special deal for senior citizens. Be aware though that last orders were at 10.30pm. **UPDATE** Have now noticed that they have a GLUTEN FREE MENU as well as the regular menu.

David Hanagan

For 1st time was a good experience, staff were happy to help as two of my guest were either vegan or gluten free, for gluten free they couldn't guarantee that no food contamination would occur, so my guest settled for salad and other stuff. Overall very good

Millie Knight

Had a lovely time here. If you’ve got an allergy, I’d recommend just asking for what doesn’t contain your allergy, the menu doesn’t state allergens. The allergens sheet doesn’t make sense. However, the did have a wonderful coffee cake that was gluten-free!! Although the service is a little slow, it is worth it!!

Vizmary Mitchell

Delicious!! I just ate the best gluten free pizza ever!!
