We’re planning our book club (aka ladies’ wine den) festive outing and as two of us are gluten free, the group is very aware of picking somewhere that works for everybody. As cocktails are a pre-requisite of any book club outing, a suggestion was made that we should go to Las Iguanas at West One. … Continue reading

Cocktails and kebabs at The Botanist!
We were looking for a lunch venue on Saturday in town when we stumbled upon very new bar The Botanist in Leopold Square. Not particularly somewhere I would have planned to take the kids but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity of a cheeky cocktail and a new place to review. They have clearly spent a fortune … Continue reading
New home for Urban Choola
A couple of weeks ago, I went with a couple of friends to a fab little Indian called Urban Choola on London Road. I didn’t write about it at the time because they were about to close down and move to larger premises. They have just opened the new restaurant this week on Ecclesall Road … Continue reading
No G and other goodies at Waitrose
Waitrose on Ecclesall Road has upped the ante on the Free From front. Last weekend they had a whole end of aisle chiller full of pre-prepared food, which looked like it may be there to stay.

M&S picnic
Wednesday was the evening of our annual village “Play on the green”*, which we have established a nice tradition of taking a picnic to, and trying hard not to put off the actors with our munching and opening bottles of fizz. Last year, a cork flew onto the stage and clipped the lead actor (only … Continue reading

Restaurant review: The Summerhouse
***Update February 2018*** I went for a meal with my family in February and had a terrible experience from a gluten free point of view. Lack of understanding or care about gluten free food, although they do have items on the menu. I would treat this place with extreme caution. I have tried to get … Continue reading

Restaurant review: The BBQ Collective
I was delighted to discover through Twitter that we have a new(ish) American BBQ restaurant in Sheffield serving a whole range of gluten free food. I am a big fan of smoked food so we hot-footed it down there on Sunday to give it a try. The BBQ Collective is run by a husband and … Continue reading
