Staff super friendly and offers a wide choice on menu with gluten free and vegan options. Restaurant was clean and set up nicely. Service was good, food was fresh and very tasty. Only disappointing thing was vegan wines were pretty non existent which was a shame. Would love to revist.

Lovely quaint spot to get a little bite to eat - mainly afternoon tea, cakes, sandwiches or jacket potato. They do some vegan and gluten free options too. Seating is outside in a secluded little garden in the picturesque village of Cockington. The staff are highly attentive, kind and efficient. Dog friendly and child friendly. The toilets are also done nicely. Unfortunately plant milk is a 75p charge even for a cup of tea!!! So didn’t get a drink. I will definitely be back though!

One of the best burgers we’ve had in a long time - unique flavor combinations (the shuffle truffle was our favorite, just swapped the blue cheese as I don’t like it) and best of all, they do gluten-free options; the patties are gf and they have decent gluten-free buns as well. They don’t mention this on the menu yet (but apparently plan on re-launching their menu to list all options), but I called them beforehand to confirm after reading a review here. The only downside is that you have to order fries separately, but it’s worth it ;) Definitely recommend!

We have a severe gluten allergy and the staff couldn’t be more helpful in accommodating for our dietary requirement which made the visit even more special.

Delicious and coeliac friendly. As always the food was delicious. We went for the two course with wine set evening menu. I was given informed choices regarding which options were gluten free and even got given an extra salad instead of the chips which are cooked in a shared fryer. I have never been glutened at either Bianco's or Amicis which is part of the same family business. The house white was delicious too.

Absolutely great, firstly we were greeted by lovely friendly staff, we were seated and had the menu explained, I’m a gluten free vegetarian, my sister-in-law is also gf. We were then served drinks whilst we made up our minds. The veggie antipasto was so nice I could barely eat my pizza! To be fair the antipasto was for two, my husband and his sister had calamari which they said was delicious, so they weren’t much help with mine! Their mains were equally delicious. The three of us were stuffed, but we just had to try a dessert, two of us shared as we were very satisfied already! A delicious crumble with clotted cream. 😋 I had the rest of my pizza boxed, that’s my dinner tomorrow sorted! 😋 I almost forgot to mention the live music, they were great too, all together a great experience, well worth a visit, 5⭐️ everything. Thank you. 😁

Banging Thai. Partner is vegan and gluten free and they were great at accommodating her. The ‘Thai spicy’ is thankfully spicy. Asked for some cutlery and they sorted us out some wooden spoons and forks which was lovely. We had veg massaman, Thai red, stir fry with Thai ginger veg (amazing!), and I had chicken satay which were surprisingly delicious considering I forgot I had them and ate them cold. Lovely people, really sweet and nice both over the phone and in person.

Stopped for a coffee mid-cycle ride. Hadn't looked at the menu before ordering, so at first it seemed expensive (£3+ for takeaway latte). However, then found that it came with a cookie/flapjack. Further unexpected bonus that a gluten free crimble was available. Didn't order food, but quite impressed that a outlet like this had multiple vegan and gluten free options
