Top 22 Gluten-Free Dining Spots Across Southend-on-Sea

They have an amazing extensive gluten free menu, it would have been five stars, but I could not get under the table in my wheelchair to eat my food. It is fully wheelchair accessible apart from this feature. The bar guys and the waitresses were very friendly, providing a great atmosphere. The chocolate milkshake was well made.

Excellent Gluten free choices. The man working was so friendly, one of the best gluten free fish and chips I’ve ever had. Will definitely be going back again

Michelle Saunders

Great food, gluten-free options, and the staff are very nice. Never get an order wrong. Never a long wait despite the fact they are always really busy. Bit more expensive than some fish and chip shops, but I've tried a few others locally, and they don't compare. Best curry sauce!

As someone who is Gluten Free, I was so impressed with Alfie’s Fish & chips! they had a great selection of gluten free options, and even the sauces were clearly labelled and safe for me to eat. it’s rare to find a place that’s this thoughtful and accommodating. Highly recommended! will be back!

A lovely little cafe in Leigh on sea. I am gluten free (gluten allergy - staff were knowledgeable and knew about shared fryers etc) and had lots of options without missing out on much (only change to English breakfast was to swap sausage out). A lovely atmosphere and if you have a dog it is a perfect spot! Look forward to returning in summer

Tia-Mai Mante

Great food and good gluten free option changes for dough and pasta :)

Chris Watson

We had a lovely meal after a long walk at the Peterboat. At first we were dubious, there were a lot of kids and this can be a red flag when it comes to quality experiences. But we were wrong, our waitress was excellent - really engaging and helpful, recommended some great dishes. And the food was pretty faultless for pub grub, everything we ate was lovely. The gluten free jam roly poly was especially good, achieved a great texture. Recommended pub for the food alone! (If you can withstand the kids!)

Amazing food amazing atmosphere. Also amazing gluten free substitutes.

B Goss

Hannah Bassom

We went here to celebrate my partners birthday and had an amazing time. Food was an 8/10 but the service is what made the experience so memorable! We were served by a lovely Portuguese waitress in the red shirt all night (unfortunately we did not catch her name). One guest has a gluten allergy and was wonderfully catered for, with the waitress and chef checking all of the ingredients and even serving a dish with the sauce on the side so this guest could still enjoy the food. Would definitely come back here again and will recommend it to others!

Barbara Jacobs

Now has a good selection of gluten free 👌

Molly Gooding

Went in the summer for their afternoon tea with the Under the Sea theme and it was incredible. We had multiple dietary requirements, one gluten free, one vegan, two veggie and one normal and they were all handled perfectly. Couldn’t be more impressed with the service too.

Kathleen Walsh

Great food, perfect for gluten free diet with lots of choices. Warm friendly atmosphere.

Julia Barrett

I love it here! The gluten free afternoon tea is brilliant; my favourite place to eat afternoon tea!

Room was fine but the breakfast was the worst we've ever experienced. Noticed pinned to restaurant door stating they're having problems with supply so some items are unavailable.... No pancakes No muffins No plain croissants No yougurts No marmalade No honey No Jam Refried dripping in oil bacon Overcooked reheated hash browns and sausages Dried out beans and scrambled eggs Oh and NO TOASTER!! Rude waitresses who lied about them looking for sending someone to buy a toaster then over heard her taking toast to "her friends" then when asked she said its gluten bread so I then asked the manager who said we can do toast! Totally unprofessional!

Diane Birch

Lovely decor, good food (especially the vegan, gluten free option!) friendly team

Paul McCormack

One of the commentators complains of slow service, but food is cooked to order, battering the fresh fish. Lovely food, and very friendly. Update April 2023: They rustled up a gluten free fish batter for us which wasn't on the menu. Very kind :)

Elena Stevenson

Just came back from having Christmas dinner here - staff were so accommodating to being gluten free and they had great options. Food was honestly delicious and well priced and beef cooked perfectly. Very friendly people waiting on the tables 10/10 recommended

Tracey Partlett

Went for a lunchtime treat and it was lovely. Staff pleasant, friendly and helpful if a little uninformed. Food was very good and gluten free options were lovely. Well priced. Overall very lovely lunch

Faye Sewell

Recently was diagnosed with celiac disease and I've been struggling with a take out that's gluten free but found that Pizza Hut catered. Admittedly, prior to this order I just ordered willy nilly without delving into deals and paid 17.99 for a medium pizza. That's no fault but my own. The delivery driver mentioned to me that if I ring up next time they could try and sort a deal that way. I've just managed to get the same size pizza and some wings for £15! The chap was very helpful and quick to arrange an order to suit my needs. Very appreciative ⭐

Basildon Paul

First time stay. Very friendly greeting on arrival. Very clean throughout the areas l see. Gluten free options on the menu with staff with good knowledge of this. The bar and restaurant on the 5th floor has great views of the airport, although getting a seat can be a challenge due to the number of non-resident families that appears to set up camp for the day, hence why l chose room service.

Elton Mesquita

One of the best restaurants in the area. The service is amazing and the food is delicious. Many vegan and gluten free options too
