Frequently go to SG for their smooth coffee and BEST cake or to have their amazing waffles! Amazing food and always service with a smile. The girls are so lovely and helpful, it’s definitely my go to place when meeting friends. I also love that it caters for gluten free and vegans which is a real win! Such a a chill atmosphere in a quirky part of town.

WOW WOW WOW. My partner and I took our 6yo daughter out for a New Years Eve meal here and so glad we did. The attention to detail in absolutely everything was second to none and this includes the attention made to me being Coeliac. The atmosphere, food, drinks and staff were all faultless and we have found our new local place to eat out. We had 3 courses and each of my plates came out with a little GF sticker which I thought just shows these guys understand the rules and seriousness of allergies. We could not fault a single thing during our time in here of around 2 hours. Now I'm hoping I've got the right person but the name on our receipt is Meg. I would personally like to thank Meg for her time, help and knowledge with regards to the GF items I could have. Meg made our evening that little more enjoyable and less stressful when it comes to allergies. Meg, I hope you had a drink on me and we'll be seeing you again very soon. I can safely and honestly recommend Zizzi's Dorchester to anyone in the area looking to have an enjoyable meal out. Happy New Year to all.

I ordered a takeaway as a gluten free as I am celiac. I have ordered at other Wagamama’s the same dish and have been fine. I have been so unwell with food poisening for the last 3 days and was holding off on writing this as I was going to speak with the manager. He was reluctant to help and was extremely rude. Would highly advise to give this restaurant if you are concerned about cross contamination.

The Coeliac Blogger: I've eaten in this cosy cafe before and as a Coeliac they can provide a good range of gluten free options, sadly like many places have no proper gluten free cakes available unless it's in a tiny packet, selling the usual chocolate options which I don't like, they need to have a couple of gluten free sliced cakes available. It's worth going and nice coffee on offer. Definitely room for improvement,

We had a lovely time and the food was lovely if a tad on the expensive side. The gluten free options were fantastic. However one member of staff paid us too much attention offering lots of options and deals but we felt this destroyed the atmosphere and we found it hard to relax and complete a conversation.

I had an absolutely fantastic lunch out at Vibes! The team was incredibly friendly and accommodating. As a coeliac, I often find eating out difficult, but at Vibes, I felt completely confident and reassured. The staff were knowledgeable and took great care to ensure my food was gluten-free, and I could order most items on the menu. A real treat! The food was delicious – everyone loved their meals. A true testament to the quality was my dad clearing his plate, which is a rarity! Highly recommend Vibes for anyone looking for a welcoming atmosphere and excellent food. We’ll definitely be back!

Lovely out of the way pub. Friendly staff. Offer Gluten Free options which is always a bonus. I visited for my birthday and enjoyed a pie without pastry, peas and mash. Did not pay so not sure on price - my guy thought his pie was okay but not amazing. They happily swapped peas for onion rings for him. I would go again for the atmosphere and friendliness.

Cannot recommend Posh Partridge enough for catering my event which rapidly grew from 40 people to 70! All of the food tasted amazing and fresh, turned up bang on time, and it went down a treat with everyone with a great range of meat, veggie, vegan and gluten free options. Food can make or break someone’s event experience and with Posh Partridge I didn’t have to worry at all it was spot on. Thank you Emily and team!

Wonderfully funky retro Alice-in-Wonderland ambience inside & lovely location on a green for snacking outdoors. Gluten free bread available for toasted lunches (I enjoyed the "Breakfast Stack") and choice of g-f brownie or lemon cake. Locally made Palmer's Ginger Beer was very refreshing.
