Whilst we wait for the new forum to catch up with the Old Site's "Stickies" I thought I would start a new thread about where to eat when out and about. It could be when you are visiting sites or merely advice for anyone visiting your area.

Ironically this first post is not a recommendation for a specific place but a website that I came across yesterday when doing some research for eating establishments for a forthcoming visit to the Bath/Bristol area. I have a wheat intolerance bordering on allergy depending on the strength and amount of wheat in a product so I usually search out Gluten Free restaurants/ pubs if intending to eat out.

I came across a website set up, by a GF resident, called www.wutheringbites.co.uk which lists quite a number of places where GF food can be found in this area. So for those visiting the CC site at Bristol or the AS site at Chew Valley then check out this website if anyone has an allergy in your party. Once I've visited the area in January I might be able to recommend some specific places.

Stopped at a café today halfway around a walk. It was at a place called Calver, not far from Baslow near Chatsworth. We only wanted a coffee but we're amazed at the variety of goodies on offer. I ended up with a Blueberry and Lemon cake and Mrs WN with an almond and orange cake, both gluten free and both delicious. 

This small eatery, known as The Eating House, is attached to a craft centre on the edge of this lovely village. It caters for light lunches but as varied as filo parcels of feta and spinach or a meze platter or just a bacon roll, with separate menus for gluten free, vegetarians and children as well as you normal folk. 

Well frequented for a Monday. We'll return soon.

ps the nearby mill was used for the TV series Colditz.

Walk off your meal along the Riverside edge of climb onto Curbar ridge for wonderous views.

If you're in Exmouth in Devon there's a nice cafe/restaurant alongside the ferry berths in the harbourside complex. It's called The Point, open all day for all types of food and drink, nice outdoor seating and dogs are welcome inside and out. Music on some days, jazz evenings etc.

Bristol, The Olive Shed on the harbour front, in between the M Shed (museum) and the SS Gt Britain. Lots of lovely med style food, tapas and drink, you can pretend you're in Spain whilst looking at the rain......wink

Checked it out when we were in Bristol in January but the cold weather made Tapas out of the question so we went to San Carlo and treated ourselves. The Olive Shed did look good though.

Forgot to recommend Supratas, a Thai restaurant only open in the evening in Bridlington, that we visited back in June. Excellent meal and friendly staff. Worth a visit.

They do have an upstairs part of the restaurant but we usually sit under the canopy because we have the dogs with us. For local events they put a shelter up too. On our recent festival visit they'd got a BBQ going as well.
