Tiffin Tea House, Nottingham

A nice selection of GF cakes in a traditional tea shop that your Grandma would love.

Tucked away in West Bridgford, this cosy tea shop is straight out of the 1940s. You won't be able to have a full lunch but there is a range of GF cakes, I went for a Bakewell tart and it was splendid. The 40s music, vintage crockery and abundance of lace are all in keeping with the feel of an authentic British tea house and it was lovely to be catered for with home made gluten free cakes. Take your coeliac Nan here for afternoon tea.

Dough Pizza Kitchen, Manchester

Properly nice gluten free pizza with a huge range of exotic toppings in the middle of Manchester's Northern Quarter.

I had been looking forward to coming here ever since my coeliac sister told me about it a few months ago and yesterday the big day finally arrived. I was not disappointed. I had GF dough sticks to start with and followed up with a ham, egg and pineapple pizza. The pizza dough was really stretchy and like proper pizza. If I'd have had room in my belly I would have had one of the GF desserts on the menu to finish. If you are anywhere near Manchester go here.

The Olive Branch, Wimborne, Dorset

The first time I have ever had a GF burger anywhere apart from my house.

Having rung in advance to ask about what a coeliac would be able to eat I was pleasantly surprised by the choice on offer. I went for a handmade burger with fries (cooked in their own oil) and it was just like old times when I wasn't a coeliac! Apart from no bun. Apparently it's the place to be in Wimborne and the food is coeliac friendly.

Olley's Fish Experience, South London

This people who run this fish and chip restaurant love coeliacs so much they have named a day in our honour: GLUTEN FREE TUESDAY.

As well as this they have a massive banner outside saying gluten free. They love the coeliacs! And as a massive bonus the food is really tasty! I went on GLUTEN FREE TUESDAY had cod and chips (fried in gluten free batter) and it was very nice, it even had a slice of lemon with the fish. Posh.
