Welcome...

Hi there!

Thanks for visiting. Here I will be blogging about restaurants in the local area and my gluten free experiences with them.

As a bit of background, I was diagnosed with coeliac disease 3 years ago and know how tough it is trying to find places to eat out. As such, I thought it would be handy to have somewhere that gave a list of local restaurants and how they treat us gluten-freers!

If you have visited anywhere that you think deserves a mention, leave a comment and I'll check it out. You can also find me at www.facebook.com/hertfordshireglutenfree and on twitter @hertsglutenfree

Bruschetta, Kingston upon Thames

I first visited this restaurant a few years ago, and to date, it remains one of my absolute favourite gluten free restaurants.

Being in Kingston, it is quite a trek, but it definitely worth the trip! Again, this is a restaurant that really knows it's stuff when it comes to cross contamination, and the choice of gluten free stuff is excellent. It's very rare that when I go out I will have a starter, main and pudding, but this is one of the few places where I just cannot resist! Their bruschetta starter is delicious, the bread on which the topping lies is lovely and crisp. I then usually follow this up with one of their amazing stone baked pizzas... and I can honestly say that you cannot tell the difference from a 'normal' pizza. Plus, if, like me, you have eyes bigger than your belly, then they will package the leftovers up for you to take home! Excellent for lunch the next day! And a gorgeous slice of cheesecake is the perfect way to finish the meal.

The staff are lovely and welcoming too... and you get free olives on the table upon arrival... everyone loves a freebie!
