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

Robin Hood pub, Tring

If you ever find yourself in the Tring area, you should definitely check out this great little pub on the corner of the High Street. Not only is it a cosy local, it has a gluten free menu which offers up some of the traditional pub grub favourites, all gluten free!

I have tried the fish and chips, shepherds pie and lasagne and can confirm that they are all excellent! Ever since going gluten free, I have been craving a good old shepherds pie and when I saw this place did it, I was thrilled and, luckily, not disappointed when I tried it.

As you can see from the menu, they are also very aware of cross contamination, ensuring that chips etc are cooked in a separate fryer. So often when visiting a restaurant, I will get excited to see that the chips are gluten free, only to be gutted when I see the usual disclaimer that they are actually cooked in the same fryer as everything else (so therefore aren't actually gluten free at all!!). So to come across a place that ensures their chips are cooked in a way that means that they truely are suitable for coeliacs is excellent.

A lovely little gluten free gem in Tring. 8/10
