Just enjoyed a wonderful birthday lunch here. Such lovely staff who spoiled us rotten! Food was gorgeous as always, I can highly recommend the cheese cake. My mum has celiac disease and swears there is nowhere to match Marmalade.
A lovely fish and chip shop right in the centre of Chester. You can dine in or takeaway. The food is lovely we just had the small cut and chips with mushy peas I meant to take a photo before I started to eat it but got carried away sorry. They also do delicious ice creams and desserts plus they do tea coffee and serve alcohol.
They do a gluten-free menu as well.
Holly, our server, was lovely and helpful, her attitude really elevated our experience today. I got gluten free food that was delicious. My friend and I got a selection of starters to share, all gluten free and all them were good. There was not a single item I don’t get again. We got mushroom Al forno, caprese salad, mozzarella garlic bread, king prawns, and a strawberry lemonade each.
We stumbled in here on a rainy day looking for some gluten free options, of which we found several !! The lunch selections were decent, and the *meal* prices were incredibly fair. The food was admittedly somewhat simple, my husband loved the leek and potatoe soup which came as part of the special. We got the impression the focus was put more on the bakery and drinks so I had to try some gluten free caramel apple crumble pie. MY GOD was it good !! However, it was nearly £6 for one lone slice. Having said that, it was surprisingly WORTH that much (but maybe just the once)
The soft drinks I must admit were absurdly priced (over £4!!) and teeny tiny. The staff seemed quite friendly, however they were very busy as the place appeared to be quite popular, particularly for drinks.
May return for the gluten free menu and affordable lunch, and will dream of the apple pie, but a little thrown off by the underwhelming meals and the high prices of other items.
I am also celiac and faced no adverse reactions whatsoever.
This place is literally one of my favourite places to eat as a Coeliac. The food is out of this world and completely safe and the staff treat you like an old friend that they've known for years. If I could give 10 stars, I would. The chef even gave me his gluten free bread recipe, which is phenomenal.
We liked everything about this place, the service was lovely and our server was very helpful. They even took our gluten-free order separately, which was fantastic.
It may have been an off day for the kitchen staff, as the food did not live up to the service. We ordered a variety of brunch foods, but none were presented well, and looked like they had been reheated which was a shame.
Will tru again to see if this was an off day.
Love this place, the decor and the vibe are very on trend. Bench seating and plenty of it
I had the seasonal porridge which was delicious and a huge portion that kept me full all day,
The best oat flat white I’ve ever had, all the staff I interacted with were friendly and very good at their job.
Didn’t have a cake, but they looked great, not sure if there were many gluten free cakes.
The only thing I noticed that others might not like, if you’re not a regular you might not notice this place is entirely plant based, and something like a chicken club could be mis leading as it doesn’t say “chicken substitute or something on the menu”
Had lunch at this pub for the first time on a recent trip to Chester. It's a former coaching inn, ideally located right in the historic centre, between the town hall and the new market, close to the shops, with the cathedral only a couple of minutes walk away. The outside tables are right next to an ancient Roman column. Although the building is Victorian, the interior has a very contemporary decor and vibe, with comfy plush chairs. The barman was helpful and friendly, and although it was busy and some of the tables were reserved, he found me a nice place near the bar. Good selection of beers, wine and gin (chose a nice Merlot). The lunch menu offered a wide variety of small plates, burgers, and main courses, with plenty of veggie and gluten-free options. I had the slow cooked minted lamb and potato hotpot, served with mixed vegetables. It was piping hot, with really tender meat, and lots of herbs that gave it a delicious flavour. The vegetables were crisp and lightly cooked. Could not resist one of the tempting desserts - a mouthwatering lemon and white chocolate pavlova with raspberry coulis - and a large latte. Overall, an excellent meal, and not too expensive given the quality of the food and the location. Would come again.
Brilliant spot in Chester for breakfast, large range of gluten free and good for vegans too. The staff are welcoming and helpful. The sourdough bread is delicious.
We visit the BoatHouse with family members (and dogs). Excellent food (including top class gluten free and dairy free options, menu clearly marked). A recent refurb is lovely and service was top class. Excellent value for money, recommended 👌
Lovely place and great for gluten free assuming you want pasta. We go here a lot but the one reason I've not given 5 stars is the limited gluten free choice. There's only so many times you can choose between 3 pasta dishes 😅 other than that, great food, lovely atmosphere, good portions and great location.
Cute place for lunch. We had really friendly and efficient service. Ordered a falafel salad which was very filling (also, the only gluten free option on the menu, but with varying protein options). Also ordered a wrap and sweet potato fries which were delicious! Crispy & perfectly done.
Also had a yummy fresh juice!
There's limited space to eat inside.
Delicious food the best wild mushroom sauce and chicken breast I've ever had, coffee dessert is also tasty. And most importantly for me as a celiac I felt safe and care. Thanks 👍
Visited on the day of the Chester Marathon around 12ish so may have been busier than usual. It's very small inside so get's very busy as there are only a few tables. It felt a little uncomfortable trying to sit and eat when there was a queue of people snaking out of the door, standing over you as they're waiting to order.
We ordered a baked potato, hot sandwich and two baps and hot drinks. Took a little while to bring the drinks to us but we could tell they were very busy, to the point of being inundated with orders. The waitress did apologise for the wait, even offering to remake the drinks if they were not hot enough but they were fine, especially the cappuccino which was lovely. Food was nice and happy to see gluten free options on the menu. Would return.
Staff were very helpful and friendly! They recommended me some great food. I am Coeliac and there was plenty of options for me and my two picky children as well🙄! Well done guys! Will definitely be coming back!
Very Disappointing!!
Arrived for brunch with my wife who is coeliac so GF is essential.
My wife ordered a meal off the menu which was identified as GF.... vegetarian haggis with tomato, hash brown, egg, beans, mushrooms and a slice of GF bread.
Meal arrived without the haggis. No mention of this from the staff, it took my wife to ask why there was no haggis. ... the main item of the meal. She was told it was because they couldn't guarantee it was GF. No mention of this when I ordered and full price charged and paid. Borderline scandalous.
Needless to say, won't be going back.
A total gem on the Rows of Chester. I have visited Pars Kahve for coffee and for food and both times experienced great service and outstanding food. The family here really know how to ensure you experience the right tastes for you and offer a great gluten free range which was important to a party member on my most recent visit. Well priced drinks and food, a menu bursting with great flavour and friendly staff. What more could you want. Can’t wait to go again.
Friendly staff, good coffee. Pleasant surroundings. Always enjoy a visit to Pret.
Good prices. No fresh gluten free cake options is the only downside, would have thought Pret could do better in this department. Otherwise always enjoyable.
Gorgeous little place, ran by the kindest staff! We took our puppy in here a couple of weeks ago, who isn't trained yet ,and they were more than welcoming; providing lots of cuddles, treats and water!
The food and drinks were also incredible! I had the gluten free brownie which was amazing!!
Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for somewhere in Chester to sit back and relax with a nice coffee and something to eat!
Lovely little place, great coffee, friendly staff and one of the best pieces of gluten free cake I’ve ever had. SUCH a treat to have nice gf cake, I nearly bought the whole lot to take home 😁
Food was fantastic: lovely portion size, and cooked to perfection. They also offered gluten free options, which was a great plus. Staff were very friendly. Coffee was delicious. Will be recommending to friends and family and returning ourselves.
Celiac friendly
