We had a family weekend break to Centerparcs recently, which inevitably involved a fair bit of eating out. We prepared our own breakfasts and lunches in our cabin, but had a couple of evening meals out and one takeaway delivered to the cabin. I have to say, the Centerparcs team seem to have a very … Continue reading
I don’t think this is particularly news, but as I don’t usually shop in Tesco, it was news to me! I am very impressed that they have opted for a gluten free soy sauce in their takeaway sushi packs, giving me a rather splendid work lunch today. This little lot was only £3. Not all … Continue reading
The new branch of Mediterranean chain Ego in the Dore Moor Inn is due to open very soon. The website suggests a provisional date of 28th February.

***Sadly closed down in 2022*** I generally don’t go out for Sunday lunch because, as a coeliac, what’s on offer is rarely as good as I can make at home. We tend to have a roast most weekends – usually chicken, beef or pork, sometimes with Yorkshire puds and stuffing (which are rarely gluten free … Continue reading
Yesterday we went out for a sneaky Tuesday tea as the boys are away for a few days over half term. I wanted to try somewhere new, and my search led me to La Mama on Abbeydale Road on the west side of town. The restaurant seems to have been around for years, having multiple … Continue reading
Great to see Marks and Spencer including some meals from their “Made without wheat” range in their dine-in offer. I was in the new Norton store, where you can choose from main courses such as mac & cheese, spaghetti carbonara, lasagne and I think there is some kind of chicken and broccoli bake on the … Continue reading
I was very, very excited to hear Hui Wei have started doing gluten free banana & pineapple fritters – what a treat. Their gluten free offer is going from strength to strength! We took the boys for a quick tea in the week so we could try them. We chose lychee ice cream with the … Continue reading
