Ady & Meg.
We chose to visit this place following reading excellent reviews from other Coeliacs. Upon reading the menu, we could see that although there were a lot of gluten free options, the vegetarian options were limited. As per usual practice we contacted the pub in advance, and as well as the usual 'Coeliac dance' (which they passed with flying colours) we also booked our meals in advance, to ensure that there would be a good vegetarian option available.
When we arrived we received a warm welcome, and loved the rustic feel of the pub. We then discovered that since booking our meal, the pub had changed hands. The new owners had our table booking, but not our pre-orders. This was particularly disappointing, as when we were presented with the new menu, Ady's meal was not on there and the vegetarian options were very limited.
As we had arrived early, we next received a visit from the chef - this was really reassuring, as he came out specifically to tell us about what they do to avoid cross contamination - perfect!
Despite arriving early, there was a delay in ordering our meals even when our booked time had passed - perhaps we weren't as demanding as some of the other customers who had come in after us? 😛
We enjoyed our meals, they were reasonably priced and we certainly left feeling full - which was lucky as the gluten free offering for pudding could definitely use some work.
This place has a lot of potential - we hope that once the new owners have settled, that they will consider adding more GF veggie and pudding options to the menu!

I enjoyed my visit here - but disappointed that the old owners took the doggie menu with them (hint hint 🐾)
