No Go Zones

These places either do not currently offer a range of gluten free foods:

Prezzo - the only option was a chicken salad - for £10, I can make my own dry chicken breast and leaves for much less than that thank you!

Frankie and Benny's - the only thing available on their menu is a mediterranean vegetable risotto - and although very lovely - if you do not have a love for risotto or vegetables - then this is a rather rubbish place to go.

Harvester - Very limited again with their foods and none of their desserts (even ice cream) are gluten free!

Wagamama's - If you have a love for japanese food.... Wagamama's is not the best place for a GF diet....when taking all of their gf containing ingredients out (which they are more than  happy to do) the food is rather bland and the little flavours there are in there do not compliment each other. They have a GF teriyaki sauce....which if you like that then that will help to flavour. But if you are like me in any way... you may wish to avoid Wagamam's completely. In fact, you would be better off buying your own gf soy sauce and trying to make your own oriental food instead. We have recently attempted peanut rice (in place of pad thai noodles as the noodles are a no go) and sweet and sour chicken - which tastes very nice (but be careful how much white rice vinegar you put in as some recipe's have slightly too much).

Another option could be YoSushi! The main issue with Sushi is the stuff you add to it. I eat sushi all the time, but I dont add the teriyaki sauce or the soy sauce in the little fish bottles, and it is a very pleasant and healthy lunch. You don't have to go specifically to YoSushi itself as many places such as waitrose, marks and spencers, boots etc have sushi in their lunch ranges, however if you wanted a treat that was a bit different and want to sit down to eat somewhere, then this is a good alternative if the japanese cuisine is what you are looking for
