Top 12 Gluten-Free Take Away Spots to Enjoy in Royal Tunbridge Wells

Trish Solly

Bills a great restaurant in the heart on Tunbridge Wells. It offers indoor & outdoor seating & is open for breakfast, bruch, lunch & dinner. It is dog & family friendly. They have high chairs & children's menu. They offered a great range of gluten, vegan & vegetarian options. We loved our breakfast at Bills. The service was friendly & efficient. Food was cooked with top quality ingredients & was so fresh & flavourful. The squash was beautifully roasted & sweet. Drinks list was extensive serving hot drinks, juices, smoothies, moju shots, cocktails, mocktails beer & and impressive wine list. I only wish we had a chance to have an evening meal there!

Very disappointing, as a regular customer before the recent closure and re build, I was very excited when a re opening date was announced. We have specific dietary requirements requiring gluten and dairy free and this was always catered for with the burgers, or fish being tailored to suit. Alas.. this is not the case any more, gone is the large airy shop, it's now a cramped wait in a rather odd shaped waiting/seating area, and if you glance up at the new look menus hanging over the counter you will see a lot of classic items missing, no OAP specials anymore despite there popularity, no small sausages.. no small medium large options at all! Just small and "standard" whatever that is? It's no standard to a fish and chip establishment that's for sure. Saddest of all..no gluten free burgers at all anymore, and the burgers they do sell are just plain typical fish shop style, 1 or 2 items in a bun.. no stacks, no onion rings in the burger, no bacon.. all there well known and very popular options gone, and a new beaming manager that's full of his own self importance to happily tell you that the classic St Johns menu you loved is now completely different. They do serve gluten free chips as standard, and the gluten free fish is still an option, although the serving staff do not understand the importance of keeping gluten free items segregated from wheat and gluten containing products in the same bag! And the fish is taken from a cabinet directly above the chips, allowing all bits of gluten containing batter to fall into the chips....they may as well say they don't cater for gluten free at all now, as there nothing certain about the serving and handling practises at all. I am struggling to find any good points about my visit, and sadly the only part of the old much loved st Johns fish bar that remains is the name.. the rest is a fraction of its former glory. I sincerely hope that if anyone in higher places see the new set up that they have the sense to re instate the old manager quickly, as he was a joy to deal with, ever efficient and extremely happy to cater for loyal customers needs, understanding his local customer base very well indeed. Until such a day, my visits here are now over, and my recommendation to others will be nil. One very upset and disgruntled long time customer.

Not busy on a Friday at 1.15. Great, tasty Thai based food. Venue chosen as their gluten free offering is very good. No parking adjacent, but plenty in walking distance. Paid £64 for two courses for two ppl each, plus a soft drink each. Recommended.

My family visited here for brunch and my husband and I are both vegan and I’m gluten-free. All of us (kids included) thoroughly enjoyed the food and definitely would go again.

4 ladies who had pre-booked afternoon tea. One of us had requested the gluten free option on the menu. Was very surprised that this meant that one other person had to have GF ‘as the serving was for 2??’ Despite offering ‘bottomless’ tea we were only permitted 2 pots to share and yet again each couple had to have the same tea and no offers of a refill? The promised hot chocolate and mini cookie never materialised. The cafe was clean but the ambience left a lot to be desired. The noise levels were horrendous, we think possibly due to a blender crushing ice for iced drinks and the music was exceptionally loud, we did eventually ask if the music could be turned down as we couldn’t hear ourselves speak. The attitude of the staff (other than one member) left a lot to be desired and although we enjoy the cakes will stick with take away in future.

Had a lovely meal here as a family, most things on the m he seemed to be naturally gluten free or easily adapted to be so. The staff were knowledgeable and we felt in safe hands.

Everyone of our friends said this was a great place to go to so having a day off we visited TN1 for some lunch. When we looked at the menu and we couldn't see any indication what dishes were gluten free so when ordering with the waiter we asked if the burger was gluten free, he said he yes (gluten free bun) We waited I think about 15 - 20 minutes for the starter to turn up (I would say there were 5 to 6 other tables in there) when the waiter turned up he only had one dish, we were trying to work out what he was saying and eventually it turned out that my wife's starter wasn't gluten free (chicken satay) having this told to you at this point wasn't a good start. It would have been too late for my wife to order another starter as mine was getting cold (frozen prawn tempura at £9.00) So a little pissed off we persevered, the waiter didn't come over at all though the meal to ask if everything was alright, I had to get the attention of the lady behind the bar to get some more drinks (she was very polite and hoped we enjoyed the drinks) however a dog that turned up with its owner who was a friend of the owners got more attention from the waiter than we did, what did worry me was that he was stroking and interacting close to the dogs face with his hands and then he went straight to the bar to pick up clean wine glasses and then serve food without us seeing if he had washed his hands. The burger was ok (£17.00) but nothing to write home about. The problem is with today's cost of living when you spend £80 for some lunch you expect it to be to a certain standard. The sad thing is that when you have a bad experience at a place you will certainly tell more people about it. We won't be going back.

A very nice and rustic atmospheric family restaurant run by a charming couple over 13 years now, serving authentic Italian food from Naples. and I need to mention the husband was very pleasing and attentive. The food was full of flavour, I could smell the aroma from the gluten free pasta I ordered from far away, and the portions sizes were just right. And the bill was beautifully had written. We truly enjoyed our dinner and time in this satisfying place.
