Restaurant Recommendations for Best Chains in the UK for Gluten Free (Sometimes Also Dog Friendly)
Gluten free chains, restaurants, cafes and pubs, to consider visiting around the UK!
Just as a disclaimer:
All of the establishments listed here advertise gluten free options to the best of my knowledge. This may be subject to changes. Most of these places on this list have mixed kitchens that also handle gluten. I have starred all the places, where I have personally visited.
*= I have visited.
Even if something is listed as gluten free on a menu, I always let my server know that I am coeliac and require my meal to be gluten free, which I would always recommend as it has definitely saved me from being glutened in the past.
I have not been paid, gifted or given anything to write about these establishments. These are my own opinions, I have paid for everything that I have tried at these places and this is not an advertisement.
This list contains chains of various sizes from regional to national, sometimes even international, level. For the biggest chains, I have at times only covered a selection of their regional locations for the sake for time and space on the list. It goes without saying that restaurants can open and shut at any time.
Now… drumroll… onto the list….
