Top 33 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Shrewsbury

Darren Andrews

A cosy coffee shop that serves excellent loose leaf tea and amazing cakes. Seriously the carrot cake was delicious! It's a lovely place to take a break from exploring the city or shopping and has reasonable prices. Gluten free and vegan options are also available and delicious. Well worth a visit. The staff were friendly but not as welcoming as they could have been, they were pretty busy.

Hopefully Made us a favourite place for lunch or just coffee in Shrewsbury. All gluten free (which I need) and always space to sit. Dog friendly is a bonus and they use bread from GFB which is gluten free and like proper bread. Dropped a star for service as on the last couple of visits specific requests (two forks to share a dish for instance) have been forgotten or ignored. Still our top place for lunch in Shrewsbury.

Popped in for a new year's day brunch, dog and gluten free friendly. The food is locally sourced, seasonal and very tasty although I found that there were only a few vegetarian options available. I opted for the mushrooms which were fantastic. I like that they have an option of a small or large portion as I often only want a smaller meal. Overall very good, tasty food with super service.

I always have a great time at The Armoury. I know they will have lots of gluten free options and the service is brilliant. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly and the food is excellent. Can’t recommend highly enough.

food tasty though gluten free pizza has an extra charge

My wife who is gluten intolerant ordered a pizza, (Gluten Free). She informed the person serving us that she is Gluten Intolerant and she assured my wife. Within 1 hour of having eaten the pizza my wife had an allergic reaction to the pizza which was obviously not GF as stated on the menu. People with allergies are dependent on restaurants getting it right to avoid serious reactions or other. I did make contact with the restaurant and at this time they have not responded to my call concerns.

A lovely experience for evening dining with brilliant service. The servers explained the small plate dining and recommended order size perfectly and a great understanding of allergies, including gluten free. The prices aren’t cheap but the food is very good!

barbaranne Jones

Ate here this evening- was surprised at the quality of food and lovely staff- would like to thank Ruby for her help when discussing options for my husband who is gluten free. A lovely and friendly service

Stopped in for a Cake and Hot Chocolate. A couple of Gluten Free cakes available plus a range of other fresh cakes. Worth a visit when in Shrewsbury. We called in on a wet day, but we nice to sit outside in better weather.

me and my girlfriend shared one gluten free full english between us with a side of chips each last week and it was both delicious and a nicely filling lunch. And the service was brilliant. A lovely young staff member played the grand piano for us! Was a lovely experience and very reasonably priced for the quality

Josh Charters

Really nice restaurant with friendly staff and excellent selection of gluten free dishes for those with dietary restrictions. Food was exquisite

I went here with my husband prior to going to a gig in Shrewsbury. I had been a year or so previously and knew they were gluten free friendly. Firstly the service was dreadful. We were left sitting at our table for some time and eventually had to chase around to find someone who was willing to take our order. The starter arrived within a reasonable time, but there was a 40 minute wait for our pizzas. Again we had to chase around to find someone to ask about our meal. Eventually we were told they would put our pizzas in the oven as soon as the next lot came out. The pizzas eventually arrived, but at that point we were already late for the gig and knew we would miss a good part of the concert. My husband said his pizza was OK, however my gluten free pizza was awful. The base was really soggy and tough. It was so dense and leathey in texture that I could not cut it. It tasted like sawdust and looked undercooked. No one asked us if our meals were OK and we could not find anyone to complain to. As so much time of our time had been wasted, eventually we quickly paid and left. I was very disappointed in both the food and service and will not go back to Pizza Express.

A very comprehensive menu of sandwich/baguette filling on view to choose from. Quick, efficient service . Homemade gluten free brownies available. Hot and cold drinks available. We had pastrami baguette and prawn and salad granary sandwich. Some seating outside. Very good price.

We held a baby shower at the Riverbank on Sunday 23rd June. We had the whole upstairs area for 2 hours, with a little extra time at the start to get drinks. We were able to decorate the room in advance. I can not rate this experience highly enough, from the moment I booked the venue were very accommodating and easy to communicate with. The staff on the day were a delight to work with. We opted for the cold buffet and the guest all enjoyed there food, they also catered for vegan and gluten free. The price can for this can not be matched anywhere else in town.

Arron Hiscox

Very authentic place and great quality food. We ordered a platter for two, and although it's seems expensive, we struggled to finish it! The appetizers were also very good. Bacon bites, fried pickles, kids corndog and cheese pretzel were superb, but the Mac and cheese was something else! They were also very attentive to one of our guests gluten free needs, double checking the intolerance chart with us. There's so much on the menu I want to try, so we'll definitely be back!

A fantastic restaurant high quality food, great for Coeliacs, They have a separate gluten free area. Staff are brilliant.

Last night was my third dining experience with Osteria and it was truly incredible. The staff were amazing and as always, the food was delicious. Two of us had one of their pizzas and the other 2 had other dishes. They too were very happy with their selections. We also had starters and everyone loved what they chose. I had the calamari and it truly was the very best I've ever had. Two of us also had desserts. The lemon cheesecake was divine! I tell all of our customers who are visiting Shrewsbury and looking for dinner recommendations about Osteria and I tell them all it's the best pizza I've had since we returned from our honeymoon in Italy in 2016. For those with food allergens, I know how scary it can be to eat out. My husband is coeliac and we struggle to find restaurants with proper protocols to limit contamination. When I enquired about their protocols I was thrilled to learn how seriously they take food allergens and the lengths they go to limit possible contamination. I was also impressed by their menu selections for those with a gluten allergy. Most restaurants have a limited selection of gluten-free options. He has now eaten with them twice and has not experienced any of the symptoms he experiences when he has been contaminated at other restaurants. Perhaps the best praise I can give them is to say that if they ever close their doors I think all of Shrewsbury will go into mourning. Between the incredible staff, the cosy atmosphere and the authentic Italian food they serve, I can't think of any other place I would rather take friends for dinner.

Love this local cafe. Always have a gluten free cake so deserves support. Good coffee to and very reasonably priced.

El Wood

Great locoation overlooking the river. Really enjoyed our meals freshly cooked and to a high standard. Gluten free options. Service was OK but had to wait to order dessert whilst a table of 8 paid individually- by which time we decides to just ask for the bill which again took longer than expected. Main and soft drink £60 for 2 people plus tip.

Janmarie Michie

Had a really delicious vegetarian and gluten free breakfast here. Coffee was really good and service friendly and efficient.

Adam G

Stopped here for a lunch on my way home. Not really a fan of salad but the beetroot salad they do for starters on the set menu is actually quite good. They even serve gluten free bread for starters with dips and did a tasty chicken Shish for mains. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes a good Mediterranean cuisine. Big shoutout to the friendly staff who work here too!

Dawn B

Lovely meal here, beautifully presented and delicious. And more importantly for me, I managed to get a fabulous Gluten-free meal so thank you 😊

Sophie

Great selection of tacos. Gluten free! Super friendly and helpful staff. Very accommodating

We came here on the 31/12/23. My dad is coeliac so when we found out he could have a gluten free bun we were quite impressed. It seemed no issue for our server Luke to check for us. He was very punctual and got back to us as soon as possible. Everyone in this pub is so happy and willing help to help us with our drinks. Thank you.

Robert Deeming

Best burger I've had in a long time, if not ever!!! And to top it off not only do they cater for coeliac's (gluten allergy) but the staff actually know what they are talking about and put my wife at ease with ordering her meal. 100% will be coming back and wouldn't hesitate in recommending to anyone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ps picture is my wife's, I was too impatient to take a picture of my burger

A teeny cafe with a BIG heart! ♥️ We were on a short break in Shrewsbury and our Airbnb was not far from Darwin's. So an ideal stopping point when we were tired and thirsty! As tempted as I was to have a Pina colada milkshake, I went for the non-alcoholic version while my son had a peanut butter one. I was also able to have a delicious piece of gluten-free carrot cake. They cater for dietary requirements really well. We enjoyed it so much we made a plan on the spot to return after check-out on the Saturday morning!! A full English really set us up for a looonngg day of travelling. Despite being ever so busy - both staff were so friendly and we bought some Shrewsbury biscuits for family (including a Vegan version, wish there was a gluten-free one but I know myself how hard it is to bake with GF flours!) Great value for money and proper home cooked food with quality ingredients. We loved our visit and hope to be back soon.

Stephanie John

Great lunch menu. We struggled a little to find gluten-free options but we were OK in the end. It was affordable, the staff were very nice & everything was fresh.

Wendy WILLIAMS

Gluten free bacon sandwich. Nice quality really enjoyed.

Jean Andress

A really good pot of tea and gluten free cake and a decent sized cup of coffee. Just the job!

Jennifer Fearon

Years ago the foods used to be lovely but now it has changed maybe new chef. I had grilled chicken with bacon gluten free sandwich club, asked swap to feta cheese instead of melted cheddar cheese but still charged for feta cheese! Also few months ago I had vegetarian breakfast - halloumi cheese it was over cooked, avocado were bit brown , poached eggs were uncooked.
