Really great cafe for gluten free options. I’m not 100% sure where the name came from as there really wasn’t many books? But overall the atmosphere was quirky and cosy. I ordered the bhaji sandwich on the online ordering option. There was no option to make it gluten free apart from the notes section but the waitress was happy to swap it and it came out with a GF bun, the food itself was really tasty

Quiet on a Thursday night. Nice service. No gluten free ale on tap and just 1 can in the fridge which my husband had. That was disappointing. But hopefully they will restock. Still like the pub.

After a bit of a look around the charity shops, we ended up taking a chance with The Peacock Lounge, after our usual go-to place shut down a while back. Didn't even realise it was there, as we don't tend to go down that part of the shopping centre. But I'm happy we did, because what a place! It has a super cosy feel to it, with a great interior (must be fabulous in the evening!) The staff seemed really pleasant on arrival, and we were able to get a table more or less straight away. They had some good gluten-free options on the menu, and have others too (but understandably, they need prior warning for this.) I decided to have their "Terry's Chocolate Orange" hot chocolate complete with cream, marshmallows and pieces of Terry's which was amazing, especially served in a mason jar (super creamy!) I didn't have any food, but had a slice of their carrot and walnut/pistachio cake and it was divine! Mum had the gluten-free toast with jam and a pot of the white pear and ginger tea, which were given a thumbs up too! Only thing was (and this is in no way a negative) I had to go to the counter to ask about my cake, as it hasn't come to the table with everything else. However, I understand that the place had become quite busy and the staff were trying to sort other orders out too. The gentleman was really good about it, and cut a slice for me there and then. Altogether, it came to a little over £14, which I thought was well worth it. Would love to return again in the future, to try some of the food. Amazing place with a fabulous atmosphere, good food and lovely staff! Definitely a thumbs up for The Peacock Lounge!

Usually I would comment on just the food, but on this visit I would like to give massive praise to Eden who was waiting for the 1st time and totally smashed it there's nothing more he could of done for us he went over and over and above with a fun and friendly attitude. Even stayed after his shift had finished to complete our journey. Also dealt well with order of gluten free and vegetarian. A great 40th birthday meal. I hope to be served again soon by this lovely young man

Myself and my husband were dining with a couple of friends. We have never visited previously but will be sure to return. My husband is celiac and they had a whole separate menu for him but it’s the staff that are the real hidden gem. So friendly and welcoming. We were greeted by Georgina and looked after by Adele. ( a waitress who had taken such great off us previously). They helped us choose a gluten free option on the lunch menu for my husband so he could be included with us. We had the budget friendly lunch menu and I had the fish goujons were beautifully crisp and the fish soft and flakey. He had gammon with a fresh runny egg. All four of us had the sticky toffee for afters , which was so light and soft. I want the recipe. We were told upon paying that the chef that had cooked for us was Bertie. We cannot wait to return and sample more of his cooking. A weekend menu was mentioned so we will be booking in soon.

Really enjoyed my time there, i always do! The food was great, we got a big sharing platter which had a great selection. Some improvements could be to provide a gluten free alternative to the bread at the start of the meal, and the pina colada drink i had was very watered down, needs improving! Will definitely come again, the man who runs the desk was very kind!

13/08/24- im guessing he was a manager who served us for food at bottomless, I didn’t catch his name. He catered for my Celiac disease. He was incredible and told me the food was made in a separate fryer and he said he made sure the staff cleaned the kitchen , which made me feel so at ease. Need more servers like him! Thank you:)

The best restaurant in derby. So great to have a restaurant with a wide variety of healthy delicious meals. There are so many vegan and gluten-free options. We love being able to choose the size of our bowl (which means the kids can have the right size for them) and then choose from proteins, hot options, sides and the massive salad bar. We highly recommend their falafel, potato wedges and coleslaw. We will be going many more times! Service is quick and everyone’s really friendly.
