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.

It's not Box E Brue but in the same complex.It's actually the first downstairs box you come to as you walk in from the site. Not very big but cosy and the staff were very accommodating.

If we'd stayed longer we probably would have tried a few others. I like the way small businesses can set up without having to splash out big on overheads. Great idea.

Andres Cafe in Wells. Lovely lunch time meal, nothing pretentious but well cooked ingredients. Very friendly owners and staff. Recommended.

The Lemon Tree at the Willow and Wetlands Centre, Stoke St Gregory between Taunton and Glastonbury in Somerset offers nice lunches and snacks with gluten free options. There is a basket shop, small farm shop, museum and marked walks around the river Tone and withy beds. Not far from Athelney where King Alfred the Great burnt the cakes and RSPB sites. smile

The Royal Oak in Ripon.

Excellent pub offering good home made cooking. Come with an appetite as the portions are generous. Book for Sunday roasts. Caters for allergies with a GF menu. It's dog friendly and, best of all, it's a Timothy Taylor owned pub, so great beer.

It's in the town centre.

No.10 Tea Gardens in Avoncliffe

Next to the Aquaduct taking the Kennet & Avon canal over the River Avon. Small seating area inside but a few tables outside.

Excellent tea and coffee and delicious cakes made by proprietor. Recommended. Easy One and a half mile walk from Bradford-on-Avon marina wharf.

Thanks for info brue - Enjoyed our time here with Cream Teas in the courtyard after a walk & watching their very informative video about this family run willow growing basket/making business. Because of timing we watched the video but there are 2 guided tours per day.  They also produce artists charcoal here from the willow.  A very friendly atmosphere.

The Clachan Inn at Drymen (apparently Scotland's oldest licensed pub) for anyone staying in the Loch Lomond area. We ate there whilst staying at Gartfairn CL and thoroughly recommend it for amazing food, great service and lovely ambience.Recommend booking as it was packed on a Monday evening!
