Just enjoyed a wonderful birthday lunch here. Such lovely staff who spoiled us rotten! Food was gorgeous as always, I can highly recommend the cheese cake. My mum has celiac disease and swears there is nowhere to match Marmalade.

Amazing food and great with my husbands gluten intolerance

Trudi Thomas

We liked everything about this place, the service was lovely and our server was very helpful. They even took our gluten-free order separately, which was fantastic. It may have been an off day for the kitchen staff, as the food did not live up to the service. We ordered a variety of brunch foods, but none were presented well, and looked like they had been reheated which was a shame. Will tru again to see if this was an off day.

Fantastic Sunday roast. All gluten free options were clearly listed

Leanne Abbott

This place is literally one of my favourite places to eat as a Coeliac. The food is out of this world and completely safe and the staff treat you like an old friend that they've known for years. If I could give 10 stars, I would. The chef even gave me his gluten free bread recipe, which is phenomenal.

Thomas

Brilliant spot in Chester for breakfast, large range of gluten free and good for vegans too. The staff are welcoming and helpful. The sourdough bread is delicious.

Amber Talbott

Yummy food. We ordered 3 tapas each plus 2 sides to share and it was about the right amount of food! Sadly left no room for dessert. Sangria was lovely. Lots of vegetarian and gluten free options. Friendly staff, and well done to the man who was being trained to take orders etc - you did great!

So we were staying in Chester, I had to find somewhere to eat, this place popped up on Google for being known for a gluten free menu asy partner is gluten free.... It was fairly obvious they accommodated for gluten free to the point they had a separate menu. When we arrived there, we entered down a built up area and immediately thought we might of made a mistake, but oh how looks could be deceiving. This establishment, just wow, we were pointed to a table on the stage, the TV had bad reception, the area where we sat, there was an unopened Amazon package on one table, some handheld tools on another and we thought, what were we getting in to. However, the girl on the bar, she was polite and very welcoming, so we took the table given, then placed our order. Now I can't even begin to explain the next hour, with my partner being gluten free she was a little hesitant on what she ordered, but, on an opposite table, the chef came out and spoke to a woman who was pregnant and singled out what dressing she could have and avoid due to being pregnant. Then our food arrived... Dear God, I cannot begin to know what to put. But the food here... Quite easily the best I've had, I've eaten in some places and this place, just wow. The food was absolutely exquisite. Now I drove 3 hours to this place, I would go again, even 3 hours just for the food. The starters were amazing, I had chicken wings, they were the best I've tasted in a long time,y partner had chicken dirty fries, the server when she dropped off the starters explained that both dishes were gluten free, so we were both able to experience both dishes. After that I had a burger, which I thought would be an every day burger dish, n oh my, what a burger. My partner had a gluten free burger and she was as just blown away. So to sum up, the food... Just amazing, the staff, super super polite and really welcoming, if I could eat there every week I would of it wasn't for the distance. The reason I go to Chester is a yearly thing, I will be going again next year and years to come. If you live near and haven't been. Go. Don't hesitate, just go. It's delicious, welcoming and well worth every penny.

Absolutely lovely, staff member was gluten free so really helped when ordering my gf meal , free ice cream for my birthday 🎂 was a bonus 😋

Had lunch at this pub for the first time on a recent trip to Chester. It's a former coaching inn, ideally located right in the historic centre, between the town hall and the new market, close to the shops, with the cathedral only a couple of minutes walk away. The outside tables are right next to an ancient Roman column. Although the building is Victorian, the interior has a very contemporary decor and vibe, with comfy plush chairs. The barman was helpful and friendly, and although it was busy and some of the tables were reserved, he found me a nice place near the bar. Good selection of beers, wine and gin (chose a nice Merlot). The lunch menu offered a wide variety of small plates, burgers, and main courses, with plenty of veggie and gluten-free options. I had the slow cooked minted lamb and potato hotpot, served with mixed vegetables. It was piping hot, with really tender meat, and lots of herbs that gave it a delicious flavour. The vegetables were crisp and lightly cooked. Could not resist one of the tempting desserts - a mouthwatering lemon and white chocolate pavlova with raspberry coulis - and a large latte. Overall, an excellent meal, and not too expensive given the quality of the food and the location. Would come again.

We visit the BoatHouse with family members (and dogs). Excellent food (including top class gluten free and dairy free options, menu clearly marked). A recent refurb is lovely and service was top class. Excellent value for money, recommended 👌

Emily Hughes

The food was delicious and catered to gluten free! Ellie was lovely and couldn’t do enough for us! :-)

Clayton Pritchard

Gluten Free options

Sara Lewis

Lovely food catered for all our needs including vegan and gluten free. The service from Logan was great and quick. Would definitely recommend and we'll definitely be visiting again

Nick Beattie

I’m celiac and max my server was really helpful with explaining to be what my options were. Exceptional service and really happy with the meal

Michelle Yorkshire

Nice place, good variety of options on the menu. Small plates, tapas, main meals, sides. Vegan and vegetarian marked clearly and separate gluten free menu. Good drinks menu with cocktails marked if suitable for vegans and AF marked up too. Food was really good. Good portions and tasty too. Staff were friendly but only marked down on this score because of a slight issue. We would recommend and return again.

Olivia Jacobs

We held our 30th birthday party at the Cornerhouse in August and couldn’t' have been happier with how it all went. From the initial enquiry through to the event itself, all the staff were so friendly, courteous and helpful. We were so impressed by the catering also, every need was met (gluten free, dairy free and vegan options all included without issue) and it arrived perfectly at the time we requested which was amazing for our event. We went for the pizza and fries option and everyone raved about the food. The event space is lovely with plenty of room, even for a band, a bar and lots of seating too, so pretty with the fairy lights too - we didn't need to add many decorations. All our guests had a fantastic time, we'd recommend the cornerhouse to anyone wanting to host an event in Chester!

Mark & Mandy Allerton

Popped in for a drink at lunch while staying in Chester. Staff really friendly and welcoming. Very relaxed atmosphere so decided to eat there on the evening. Food was fantastic, husband is a coeliac but this wasn’t a problem, steak was amazing as were all the sides. Loved the bar. Highly recommend.

Tabitha Tschumi

Possibility of having the Gluten free & Vegan menu, super good, right dishes, better to drink tea than coffee 😉

Lara

Visited on the day of the Chester Marathon around 12ish so may have been busier than usual. It's very small inside so get's very busy as there are only a few tables. It felt a little uncomfortable trying to sit and eat when there was a queue of people snaking out of the door, standing over you as they're waiting to order. We ordered a baked potato, hot sandwich and two baps and hot drinks. Took a little while to bring the drinks to us but we could tell they were very busy, to the point of being inundated with orders. The waitress did apologise for the wait, even offering to remake the drinks if they were not hot enough but they were fine, especially the cappuccino which was lovely. Food was nice and happy to see gluten free options on the menu. Would return.

Lamoore

Nice location on a high street in Chester. Didn't take photos as I didn't think it was worth it, but now I wish I had as they would have made my point. The food was mediocre and heavily overpriced for what was served. I ordered a dish that was similar to an eggs royale with a slight difference and decided to go for the gluten free option. Shockingly, this meant I got a tiny slice of gluten free bread with two poached eggs on it. Oh, and the eggs were disapointingly overcooked. The description for an item on the menu was misleading. An absence of the advertised slow grilled tomatoes on the dish served meant, as explained by a staff (possibly manager), that the bearly visible tomatoes were actually chopped and mixed in the sparingly spead avacado on the bread. There was no warmth or even passion in the service, not even on a lovely sunny day. Not impressed!

Joanna Smith

Absolutely outstanding food and service. We booked our annual girls' family meal at a place we always go to but, unfortunately, this year they decided to only serve burger and chips. This was no good for our Christmas get together. We instead booked a meal for 8 people at the Kings Head. We let them know in advance that one of our party was Celiac and would require a gluten-free option. All meals were booked in advance with the deposit paid. On the day, despite being busy, the service was so good it felt like we were the only ones there. Staff with quick with drinks and with food and the portions were absolutely unbelievable. I couldn't recommend it highly enough and we will be back. (In fact I would love to stay overnight in a haunted room!)

Sara Latham

We had a lovely lunchtime meal for a birthday celebration. The food was great - I had hummus as a starter and it was possibly the best I’ve ever had. We were all very happy with our food choices - there is plenty of choice and lots of GF options (my partner is coeliac). Our server was super friendly and helpful. It was quiet when we went, but I expect there’s a nice atmosphere in the evening as it’s a lovely place. Would definitely go again 😊

Andrew Peers

One of my regular places. Best Gluten free bread I've had !! Superb staff, lovely food & reasonable prices. Keep it up guys.

Michael Lightfoot

Gluten free beer on draft. If you know , you know!

Katherine Hamilton

Really excellent gluten-free fish and chips. The menu has a full allergen matrix for people with various food sensitivities, which is great. Kid-friendly, but also a pleasant place for grown-ups to sit and relax after hours traipsing round the (amazing) zoo. Lots of interesting nature photos / drawings / prints hung everywhere, even in the toilet cubicles! Light and airy interior, especially in the extension at the back. Getting our order taken was a little slow, but that was hardly the servers' fault as they were covering a lot of tables. Food arrived quickly and piping hot after ordering. Overall, strongly recommend.

Leanne Gibson

A total gem on the Rows of Chester. I have visited Pars Kahve for coffee and for food and both times experienced great service and outstanding food. The family here really know how to ensure you experience the right tastes for you and offer a great gluten free range which was important to a party member on my most recent visit. Well priced drinks and food, a menu bursting with great flavour and friendly staff. What more could you want. Can’t wait to go again.

daniel kelly

Lovely English breakfast and gluten free bread

Juniper G

The food here is excellent, really great flavours with so many vegan and gluten free options! Highly recommend the chickpea dosa with coriander chutney. Staff were also so lovely and helpful, my partner and I were well looked after. Will definitely be back :-)

Louise Gallagher

Staff were lovely, great atmosphere and good selection of beers to choose from. Having a gluten free beer on tap was a treat for the coeliac in our party! We had hoped to return the following day to take some bottles home with us but ended up leaving before they opened back up again - a good reason, if one were needed to come back another time! 😃

Luke Melvin

Went to the Turtle Bay in Chester and everything was lovely. It was busy but our server Callum was attentive and also made sure that our order was received by a manager since one of us is gluten intolerant.

Yordanka Markova

The coffee shop is one of the cosiest places in Chester for a brew and sweet treat. The staff are fantastic, very professional and friendly. I'd visit them again - they have gluten-free sweets, which is very important for me. They have my high recommend.

James

If your in Chester you really need to visit this fabulous place, service is brilliant and the food is excellent we had tomato and basil homemade soup with a butty on the side one was gluten and dairy intolerant and that was no problem.The menu has that option for that . Good price clean and pleasant to sit in. Keep this small business going please .

Sue Reynolds

I had gluten-free options, which were excellent.

Stephen Hollands

Lovely restaurant with delicious food. My wife is gluten and dairy free so it was so refreshing to have such good choice from the menu.

Kim Olivier

Lovely little place, great coffee, friendly staff and one of the best pieces of gluten free cake I’ve ever had. SUCH a treat to have nice gf cake, I nearly bought the whole lot to take home 😁

Nick CP

Great coffee. Could expand it's gluten free range of food/cakes.

John Robinson

Very Disappointing!! Arrived for brunch with my wife who is coeliac so GF is essential. My wife ordered a meal off the menu which was identified as GF.... vegetarian haggis with tomato, hash brown, egg, beans, mushrooms and a slice of GF bread. Meal arrived without the haggis. No mention of this from the staff, it took my wife to ask why there was no haggis. ... the main item of the meal. She was told it was because they couldn't guarantee it was GF. No mention of this when I ordered and full price charged and paid. Borderline scandalous. Needless to say, won't be going back.

jason hall

Great place ,friendly ,catered for my other halfs gluten and dairy free diet by changing a few things on menu

Simone Kynaston

Food was fantastic: lovely portion size, and cooked to perfection. They also offered gluten free options, which was a great plus. Staff were very friendly. Coffee was delicious. Will be recommending to friends and family and returning ourselves.

Kay Garner

Surprising place which was very accommodating! Disability access, toilet and lift made the night so much simpler and was a pleasant surprise. Staff were lovely and apparently they cater for gluten free,vegetarian and lactose intolerant... need to go back and see what the foods like ☺️

Morvennan

Excellent selection of gluten free cakes. Cosy cafe, great service.

A Non

As a gluten intolerant customer I phoned to check if OK for me l. Ideally one day's notice required as all made fresh daily. 100% recommend. Pizzas, gelato, service, welcome from Fabrizio and Ashley all top knotch! Will definitely be back!!

Annica Clark

Blown away by everything about this little gem of a place. Food was a simple menu and yet so delicious and wine is just simply delectable, all in the beautiful setting of a cellar, with the most effiecient, courteous team. As a gluten free eater, I was accommodated for wonderfully. I will definitely make an effort to go back here and if you passing you should pop in!

Drew Lucas

Was looking for a decent breakfast whilst away for a couple of days and stumbled upon Bridge Street Coffee. Quite dark from the outside but warm and modern inside. Lots of wood, soft lighting and really comfy chairs. Menu full of all the usual arty stuff you see nowadays, avo, sourdough, juice shots etc. Had the normal and veggie breakfasts and they were both superb. Gluten free option for the bread on the veggie. Flat White was actually a Flat White rather than a watery cappuccino and the apple juice was fresh from the Juicer. The only gripe would be the sausages which were supposed to be Cumberland but were too herby with sage in them. Service was very good and cracking value for money. Will deffo visit again if we're back in town. Go check em out.

Zoe Pavlou

I needed a quick bite to eat and a lovely waiter found me a table and brought me my gluten free lunch (recommended by the lovely waiter) very quickly! in my rushing to meet friends i didn't take the gentleman's name, but thank you for the perfect service and meal :)
