Top 6 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Ware

Peter O'Rourke

Needed to find somewhere for a family get together on 30th May (lunchtime) with people coming from different locations, Stumbled across The King's Mead and I am so glad that we did. Wonderful and attentive service from Debbie, quality food (6 clean plates was evidence of that) and a lovely ambience to the restaurant. Everyone was welcoming & polite; and one of our group needed the gluten-free option which was also very varied compared to other places we have visited. We all agreed that we would be returning again in the future - top marks for a fantastic restaurant.

Great gluten free fish and chips. Best in Ware! Satisfying potion sizes and priced reasonably. Always look forward to a visit!

Warm and reasonably comfortable seating. Cannot fault the prices, food or service. One has gluten, soya, milk intolerances but was catered for with personal attention and explanations. Prices are around £8.95 per plate with a few cheaper options but great choices, good servings and speedy service. Usually busy and popular with parking in the grounds. Good selection of cakes and hot drinks with specials on board.

Amazing ! I booked to come for afternoon tea with a friend on Friday 17th November. My friend is gluten free, I emailed ahead asking if this would be possible. Well, when we arrived they had gone above and beyond what I thought they would do. We both had a delicious selection of rolls, scones and cakes. Not only did it look fabulous it was delicious too. The staff are friendly and exceptionally professional. Nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend afternoon tea however they had so many lovely things on the menu and everything we saw going to other tables looked fantastic. I feel I found a little hidden gem in ware !!

I booked this restaurant for a family meal to celebrate my wife's birthday (she loves Mexican food). There were 12 of us and we were seated downstairs on request to make a more private affair. The entire experience was wonderful. Good food and a warm service. One of the children has coeliac with the menu full of gluten free dishes, clearly labelled. Parking outside the restaurant has restrictions, however there is a pay car park a short walk away.

As per usual very good. Bar service is not always as good as it could be as staff are around tables (which is obviously the point), but it means the bar is neglected for those sitting in the front area (see photo). Even just as the Beefeater opens, managers seem to be too busy to ensure staff are efficiently helping customers at the bar, I waited 4 mins, plus serving time for a coffee (about 6-7mins), and just as long for a Pepsi refill. But most often I was served immediately. Having said all that, I wouldn't want to put a negative impact on this place, the food is usually good and the lunch-time deals are particularly good value, for example £5 for the lasagne. There is a large menu and some great options for Vegetarians and those intolerant to Gluten (Ceoliacs). Although, I wouldn't advise Vegetarians sitting near the front kitchen if they don't like the smell of beef. It is called a Beefeater after all 😉 The décor is modern with a touch of traditional, and the wall hangings are certainly beef orientated! 🐄 Most areas are well lit, and staff are happy to sit you where you want, when the restaurant isn't too busy. It's never going to be Michelin star, but you don't go to a Beefeater expecting that. As far as I'm concerned it's well cooked and good value for money. Kitchen staff moving between the main (back)and front kitchen (the one you see) could be a bit more subtle, and should be asking bar staff for jugs of lemonade/pepsi as it looks odd to have a food-covered cook standing pouring a drink... Usually a positive experience overall. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
