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

A lovely fish and chip shop right in the centre of Chester. You can dine in or takeaway. The food is lovely we just had the small cut and chips with mushy peas I meant to take a photo before I started to eat it but got carried away sorry. They also do delicious ice creams and desserts plus they do tea coffee and serve alcohol. They do a gluten-free menu as well.

First visit to La Fattoria today. Delicious pizza made for my husband and myself. I had gluten free option which was perfect. Thank you so much for offering this option as I usually have to miss out on pizza. Visited from Llandudno, north Wales. Will definitely be visiting again.

Alice Mae

Holly, our server, was lovely and helpful, her attitude really elevated our experience today. I got gluten free food that was delicious. My friend and I got a selection of starters to share, all gluten free and all them were good. There was not a single item I don’t get again. We got mushroom Al forno, caprese salad, mozzarella garlic bread, king prawns, and a strawberry lemonade each.

Yvonne Stamp

Tried the Koconut Grove for the first time today and we'll definitely be back. Our son is Coeliac so cannot eat anything with gluten. We were so impressed by their knowledge of cross contamination. They took their time to explain what was gluten free, what to avoid and really went out of their way to make sure our son knew what was safe to eat. The food was delicious, the staff amazing what more can you ask for.

Great gluten free service!

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.

We stumbled in here on a rainy day looking for some gluten free options, of which we found several !! The lunch selections were decent, and the *meal* prices were incredibly fair. The food was admittedly somewhat simple, my husband loved the leek and potatoe soup which came as part of the special. We got the impression the focus was put more on the bakery and drinks so I had to try some gluten free caramel apple crumble pie. MY GOD was it good !! However, it was nearly £6 for one lone slice. Having said that, it was surprisingly WORTH that much (but maybe just the once) The soft drinks I must admit were absurdly priced (over £4!!) and teeny tiny. The staff seemed quite friendly, however they were very busy as the place appeared to be quite popular, particularly for drinks. May return for the gluten free menu and affordable lunch, and will dream of the apple pie, but a little thrown off by the underwhelming meals and the high prices of other items. I am also celiac and faced no adverse reactions whatsoever.

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.

June barry

OMG what a fantastic restaurant, especially for myself being gluten free, lots of options, food amazing staff were lovely and very welcoming,

Sarah Tunnicliff

Lovely place. Good sized car park. Great selection of food and drink (including gluten free and vegan). My fishcake dish was just delicious.The bill was very reasonable. It was the perfect place to catch up with friends. I would highly recommend and cannot wait to return.

Sonia Sheils

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

Eleri Evans

Went for lunch here and thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m a coeliac -and everything was perfect. Staff reassured of the GF choices- which was a LOT! Tasty food, kind staff - great place. Steak was delicious and Children’s menu was really generous. Reasonable prices. Will definitely be back.

NGW

Love this place, the decor and the vibe are very on trend. Bench seating and plenty of it I had the seasonal porridge which was delicious and a huge portion that kept me full all day, The best oat flat white I’ve ever had, all the staff I interacted with were friendly and very good at their job. Didn’t have a cake, but they looked great, not sure if there were many gluten free cakes. The only thing I noticed that others might not like, if you’re not a regular you might not notice this place is entirely plant based, and something like a chicken club could be mis leading as it doesn’t say “chicken substitute or something on the menu”

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.

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.

Lara

Our first time eating here and it was a great experience. Food was piping hot and delivered quickly. Would recommend the gluten free pizza and tiramisu. Good value for money too. They do celebrate your birthday in a big way and it can be a bit noisy but you have to expect that in an Italian restaurant.

Julie Robinson

My daughter booked us a meal for two here. Good food choices for our dietary needs. Great veggie fish cakes , gluten free steak pie plus g.f sticky toffee pudding were hot,tasty and enjoyed. Good choices re wines too. Set in a very cosy,welcoming environment Plus very friendly and attentive staff . Our celebrations for my special birthday were indeed special 🥳❤️,thank you all at Harkers .

Hi I came in today and I was gluten free (coeliac). I ordered off the gluten free menu and was asked to declare which one was gluten free and which wasn’t when ordering which I did. When the food came to the table the waiter was not aware of which one was gluten free and which wasn’t. Which was concerning as you asked me declare it. Anyway you have made me very unwell and the food was obviously not made in the gluten free safe environment. The broccoli was so salty I could not eat it.Some of the food was extremely tasty , some was average. just a real shame I am now unwell. I think maybe you should distinguish between the dishes when you send it from the kitchen in order for this to not happen in future.

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

Emily Parkes-Lewis

I had ordered the padana pizza. It's gluten free and vegan. The dips were so flavourful, i couldn't believe they were vegan. I expected the base to be either soggy or too hard but it wasn't and was perfect

S Taylor

There were five of us, (two couples and a grandaughter). We had been given the table requested (great start). Our waitress Anna checked if there were any allergies, (dairy and gluten) and did everything to help our grandaughter to find the right meal, what was brilliant about Anna was her knowledge of what food our grandaughter could have and checked if everything was going well. We had a great table, brilliant service and lovely food what more could you ask for.

Chris Eardley

Food really tasty. Staff friendly and attentive. Would be 5 star with more gluten free options.

Paul Riddick

Excellent food and very good gluten free options . Lunch for 4 people

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.

rob Jolliffe

Had a great range of Gluten free food on the menu. Did not have to ask for a separate menu. Food was fantastic coffee very good. Staff very friendly. I really nice experience will be going again soon.

Marie Shortt

Amazing and gluten-free menu is available. The staff and chefs are wonderful. Highly recommended.

Andrew Peers

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

Kay Garner

Lovely place and great for gluten free assuming you want pasta. We go here a lot but the one reason I've not given 5 stars is the limited gluten free choice. There's only so many times you can choose between 3 pasta dishes 😅 other than that, great food, lovely atmosphere, good portions and great location.

mahtaab hayat

Cute place for lunch. We had really friendly and efficient service. Ordered a falafel salad which was very filling (also, the only gluten free option on the menu, but with varying protein options). Also ordered a wrap and sweet potato fries which were delicious! Crispy & perfectly done. Also had a yummy fresh juice! There's limited space to eat inside.

catherine Ranger

Fabulous for gluten free and Coeliac as well as delicious and a great service. I rang before to check before booking and the person double checked with the kitchen who assured me that they were knowledgable about coeliac needs. We all ate Gluten free on the table so we could all share and the server was able to tell us what was safe or not on the menu. Most things were but she knew what wasn’t. Her knowledge made me feel reassured. When served they declared each dish as GF and there were no problems after so all were safe. The food was really tasty we had Hot and sour soup, Pad Thai with rice noodles and duck ( the favourite of the night) and stir fried ginger and chicken. I have to say this was a really lovely place and fabulous food as well as being very safe for our coeliac 13 year old. .

Zaerienne

Delicious food the best wild mushroom sauce and chicken breast I've ever had, coffee dessert is also tasty. And most importantly for me as a celiac I felt safe and care. Thanks 👍

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.

Emily Hughes

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

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 😊

Tabitha Tschumi

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

Sean Eccles

Staff were very helpful and friendly! They recommended me some great food. I am Coeliac and there was plenty of options for me and my two picky children as well🙄! Well done guys! Will definitely be coming back!

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.

Peter Owen

First class in every respect. The food (gluten free) was delicious 😋, we went for several side dishes. The staff who served us were marvelous, especially the lady who cooked and served our food. Nothing was too much trouble, exceptional quality of service and food. Highly recommended.

David Cooper

My friends and I booked a table at Thai Baan whilst we were in Chester for the bank holiday weekend. The restaurant itself was great with a lovely atmosphere. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was incredible and there were good options for both the vegetarian and gluten-free members of our group. I love Thai food but this was some of the best I have had. The great food coupled with the great atmosphere meant we had a really lovely evening here. I would highly recommend to anyone staying in Chester.

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.

Calum Johnson

The breakfast has great gluten free and vegan options

Mark williams

Delightful. From the lovely, happy, smiley young ladies serving to the delicious food, this grill bar is a must. Great attention paid to delivering me a gluten free meal.

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.

Jo Moo

Fantastic find in Chester. Lovely food and friendly service. Very good with gluten free dishes and advising what is safe to eat. Fast service but plenty of time to eat. Would happily recommend.

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.

Deborah Grant

I don’t often write reviews, however wanted to share how great this place is for those that are Gluten Free. We had a GF person in our group, from the second we walked through the door staff were aware and fully understood the difficulties this can pose, they were understanding and the menu and food is probably 90% - 95% available. Everything is labelled very clearly and all staff informed and trained to understand this. Salad bar is immense and fresh, the hot food flows and plentiful, great place, great food, lovely well trained staff and atmosphere.
