Caro9429 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Hi everyone, I'm new to the area and wondered what gluten free options there are?I've found a couple of great health food stores on lordship lane, but wondered about caf?s/restaurants etc. Thanks in advance.

Robert Poste's Child Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Blue Brick cafe off North Cross Road is nice.If you haven't been to Brixton Village, one of the place in there is completely GF.

Caro9429 Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Cool thanks Robert. Are you Gfree? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/44718-gluten-free-in-ed/#findComment-749941 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennyDreadful Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Just up the road in Camberwell, there's a wonderful place that does gluten-free savoury crepes: Cafe Maloko, 60 Camberwell Church Street, SE5 8QZ (near corner with Camberwell Grove, look for blue awning with orange lettering). Great for vegetarians and vegans, too.A bit further afield - but on the 12 bus route - is a good, authentic Italian restaurant which offers gluten-free versions of almost every dish (the owner is coeliac himself) - Cotto, 89 Westminster Bridge Road, SE1 7HR (top of Kennington Road).You might also be interested in this blog by a Camberwell-based coeliac nutritionist:www.glutenfreerosie.comGood luck - and please post details of any useful places you discover!

The Minkey Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I have a feeling that the excellent Le Querce on Brockley Rise, not far from ED, does gluten-free options. Though I'd call first to check if I were you: http://lequerce.co.uk/about-us/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/44718-gluten-free-in-ed/#findComment-750039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 The Ivy House (community pub in Nunhead) has gluten-free pasta on its new Spring/Summer menu.http://www.ivyhousenunhead.com/docs/menu.pdfThe spicy chorizo pasta is delicious :)ETA: It doesn't any more (30 May) :( Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/44718-gluten-free-in-ed/#findComment-750130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulaine Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 If you fancy a quick pub lunch The Actress will russel you up something G free..... they did for my mum and were very helpful :-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/44718-gluten-free-in-ed/#findComment-750144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knomester Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Much of the food at Toasted is GF, although if celiac I imagine your want to check if there's a risk of cross contamination as they do also make their own (non-GF) cake and bread. The Dish & The Spoon on Cheltenham Road often has a good range of homebaked GF cakes. There is a thread in GF offerings somewhere on the forum which I seem to recall posting on which may be useful. Perhaps take a look at Kim Mcgowan's blog www.naturallyglutenfree.wordpress.com - she is SE London based sometimes reviews local places.

Caro9429 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Wow thanks so much for all these suggestions. I've had a couple of lunches in the Duck egg cafe - great place for gfree options :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/44718-gluten-free-in-ed/#findComment-750999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Sorry, re my post above, The Ivy House has changed its menu again and it no longer mentions a gluten-free option for pasta - maybe they only have it sometimes, so best phone to ask first if you are making a special trip.

Robert Poste's Child Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Not sure a gluten-free diet is good for you. For dinner this evening I had a big bag of jelly beans. No gluten but I feel a bit sick now. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/44718-gluten-free-in-ed/#findComment-752367 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Poste's Child Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I didn't get any green ones. I had all the fruit flavours except canteloupe, watermelon and lime. Looking back, the lychee ones did taste a bit funny, but who knows what a lychee's supposed to tasted like?

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I think lychees are a bit marmite. I find them revolting. Hasn't everyone eaten eyeballs?
