Top 37 Gluten-Free Spots for Outdoor Dining in Cheltenham

Pho Cheltenham offers a brilliant setting in a lovely location, perfect for a relaxed dining experience. The food is consistently praised as brilliant, fresh, and packed with flavor, with great portion sizes and speedy service. A standout feature is that about 98% of the menu is gluten free, making it an excellent choice for coeliac diners. The restaurant is accredited by Coeliac UK and staff are knowledgeable and proactive about allergies, ensuring a safe and worry-free experience for those with gluten intolerance, including children. The menu includes a wide variety of Vietnamese dishes like pho, curries, the amazing rice bowls, and fresh rolls, with many vegan and dairy-free options as well. I would highly recommend Pho Cheltenham for its delicious, healthy food, excellent service, and outstanding gluten-free options.

Lovely gluten free brownie and a delicious ginger drink. Brownie was one of the best I have had - lovely and gooey. I have marked down though as the gluten free food was alongside gluten containing food and my daughter, who is a severe coeliac was worried about cross contamination and so was unable to eat there. Menu had lots of lovely sounding options for lunch. Would like to see gluten free cakes on top shelf, in a separate cabinet or covered with glass domes to avoid the risk of cross contamination. Also not sure if there were separate utensils for gluten free food or not - if there were then great but if not perhaps have different colour utensils in a separate container to avoid cross contamination. Great service and lovely cafe.

The best choice of gluten free options I have ever seen, fantastic burger, the meat melts in your mouth, amazing onion rings. Great atmosphere, friendly staff

Louisa Quiddington

I love it when independent cafes get it right. Really nice staff who clearly care about their customers. The cakes and pastries are incredible and lots of gluten free options. Highly recommend.

Bob Henson

A real old pub. Good food. Excellent value for money. Good variety of gluten free meals from a quite extensive menu.

Caroline Wells

The gluten free pizza was fantastic 😋

Suzanne

Superb chain restaurant for our party - one of whom needed gluten-free and another FODMAP-friendly foods. Lovely smiley waiting staff, helpful and attentive service, and delicious French-style dinner. Very happy! It was my parents' first time ever at a Côte (?!) and they had such a good experience, they're keen to repeat the experience at another branch soon.

Skye Gough

Ruby was lovely :) food was very good for gluten free and lots of options

Richard Smart

Catered for about 20 of us for a leaving lunch. Food was pizza and burgers and delicious. I ordered gluten free base pizza and enjoyed it thoroughly. Service was efficient and friendly! Everyone enjoyed the beer as well. Only 1 issue. When we moved to the yard to be outside in the sunshine there is a strong smell of urine wafting up from the sewers everytime someone is in the gents. If they fix that then this is a 5 star venue. They have clearly made a lot of effort.

John Wilde

Excellent coffee, as you would expect, could do with being a bit hotter though. Also fantastic cakes, including gluten free.

Mara Berga

Absolutely wonderful service. Food was great and really tasty. Love the gluten free options. Definitely would suggest and hope to come back

Visited 15 October 2023, reserved a table for 7 to celebrate a double birthday lunch. Great selection of food and good value, really pleasant atmosphere and staff were just lovely, kind and courteous. I booked this based on reviews from others and because they offered gluten free options. Will definitely visit again.

Overall I enjoyed my meal here. - The food was tasty. - Service was average. - Gluten free options available but told they were small. I ordered a beer and a pizza with 3 different meat toppings. I enjoyed my food. Wait times seemed to be average for waiting for food and to get the bill at the end. I would have preferred to pay via a website or prior just so I don't have to flag down the waiter at the end of the meal. A note for those that are gluten free: My friend was told the gluten free pizza was a fixed size whereas the standard pizzas can be adjusted in size. They were also told that the size was disappointing and that they would most likely need to order more to be full. Based on the garlic bread my friend did order I would assume the server was being truthful as it was quite tiny. So there are gluten free options but the options aren't great themselves it seems.

Really impressed with WoodKraft. We’ve been here for breakfast multiple times and the staff have always been fantastic. Service is well priced and quick with the quality of food above and beyond. There’s also fantastic Gluten Free options and we’ve never had an issue with cross contamination or anything else of the sorts. Would happily come here again and again.

Lovely and kind staffs 😍 Fantastic variation of gluten-free dessert! Great variation, excellent taste 👌

David Baldwin

As a coeliac, the availability and variety of quality Gluten Free and Gluten Free option food, made for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Very friendly service added icing to the (gluten free) cake !

Ashley Mayes

Excellent food and good gluten free choices for Coeliacs. Superb service. Been twice already, and now always looking forward to going back!

It's me, Lauren

Nagomi is such a lovely place to enjoy dinner! The food is unbelievable, we’ve been a couple of times now and can’t wait for our next visit. As is popular in the reviews - you really do have to try the fried chicken! Everything we’ve eaten there really has been outstanding though and the team work so hard and catered to a couple of us who are gluten free

Maria Iride Morelli

Amazing place, especially if you are looking for gluten free and dairy free food. Lovely staff and gorgeous food! Highly recommended 👌

Sylia Farlayne

Food and experience was amazing as always. Abbie's knowledge and discretion in dealing with my celiac disease and needs was a very refreshing experience and makes me feel happy and safe to dine here.

Kirsty Forshaw

Lovely cafe doing excellent breakfast and lunch food, plus good coffee and cakes. We went both mornings of our stay in Cheltenham and weren't disappointed. It's clear why it's such a popular choice on Bath Road. It has an inviting atmosphere and, like a lot of places in the area, is dog and child friendly. It was great to see that meats are locally sourced and that there were even gluten free options on the menu. They've thought of everything here! Truly a 5* cafe.

Nataliya Garbutt

Uncomfortably cold visit. The heating in the coldest day of the year was broken. We never have been so cold and uncomfortable. No worming to the customers on online booking that heating is out of order. Also very poor choice of gluten free selection. Very disappointed visit, which meant to be a birthday surprise.

Rachel Austin-Francis

Rob made us feel so welcome on Christmas Eve when we came in for lunch! The room was cosy and atmosphere great. Service was fantastic and food was just what we were looking for with a great gluten-free selection. Thanks to the whole team 😁

Daniela Bruckner

Such a lovely atmosphere with dim lighting and sparkly lights. I had the lamb curry with rice and it was really good! My friend is gluten free and had some sticky chicken which wasn’t great to be honest. Had brownies for dessert which were gluten free with ice cream and they were lovely! There’s a meal offer they do for 2 people for about £25 each which looks really good and includes a variety of things as well as dessert.

Jim DaCosta

YUM. Great food, nice people serving. Lovely drinks. Good gluten free options.

Anita Armitage

Lovely local family run business. Not many places offer gluten and dairy free options, so this is a real treat. Lots of different options to choose from. Friendly, lovely staff too

elizabeth wylde

What a stunning find for our breakfast. Friendly helpful staff, gluten free options, and beautifully presented food and coffee.

Mervyn Mayo

No gluten free options, but otherwise fantastic. Recommended.

I went to Bosco in November 22 as it's quite new in Cheltenham. I arranged for a work meal at Bosco with 15 people. We pre ordered a couple of days in advance. So there were a couple of issues prior to going, we had one person who was vegan, and they don't do an option for a vegan pizza using vegan cheese. So she bought her own cheese, and luckily Bosco were ok with using it and making it as she requested. Good that they did this but I feel they should have a vegan option as standard. The 2nd one was that we had someone who was gluten free, he requested a gluten free base, which they didn't have. So I had the arancini balls for starter and the Bosco pizza for main. I felt they were decent pizzas but maybe just missing something. The atmosphere was good as it was packed. I feel it is worth trying, and I would like to have given them 3.5 stars but it's not possible.

Chris Best

Nice and tidy pub to visit not far from train station. Shows all sports and staff are really accommodating, menu has definitely improved with more gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options available. Friendly atmosphere and drinks are fair priced. Will be back for future football matches

Vicky Bytheway

Lovely food and nice cosy little restaurant. Very relaxed atmosphere and ideal for a leisurely evening meal. We were visiting and this place was recommended by high ratings and if you are looking for a beautiful Italian then this is the ideal place. The chocolate brownie is amazing!! The menu also states that they have gluten free pasta available so that is worthwhile if you need to know!

Jo Gib

Lovely coffee and excellent gluten free breakfast - what lovely people!!

Sarah Townsend

Our first visit to Sam’s and oh my – it definitely won’t be our last! The food is stunning. I’m gluten-free and vegetarian and eating out can be a pain but not at Sam’s. Tons of choice – all of it superb. My stand-out dish was the pistachio parfait – wowser! Service was friendly and attentive, wine (I had the Viognier) delicious. Certain other Cheltenham restaurants need to up their game to compete, methinks. (Super unusual for me to be enjoying the food so much I forgot to photograph any of it!)

Emily Atkinson

Not many gluten free options but still had a lovely time!

Paula Dagnall

The food was really good and a great price. My husband had chicken and ham pie and chips and I had the halloumi salad and it was delicious. We also had puddings here which are fabulous and gave a gluten-free option. Our Waiter Simon was brilliant and everything exceeded our expectations.
