I found out, quite by accident, that this pub style restaurant has one of the best gluten-free menu's I have seen to date, in a place of this category. The prices are extremely reasonable and they have a fantastic wine and beer menu also.....4-5 different types of gluten-free beer. They serve gluten-free pizza and not just 2 offerings, like you usually get.....they must have 10-12 different types of pizza like any other restaurant chain which serves it up. The also have sandwich wraps, with rice based wraps.

When I arrived at the table, the service was cordial and attentive. The manager always comes to every gluten-free table to reassure the customer that they know you are requesting a gluten-free meal and it will be done properly. I tried the chicken caesar wrap, to be different, and it was very, very good. Not too much salad dressing, which I like, and the chicken was ultra tender. The only complaint I have with the wraps is the fact that we all know how difficult it is for a rice wrap to survive being stuffed and eaten, without flaking and falling apart. They were pretty good tasting wraps but by the end, I ended up finishing it with a fork and knife. It held together about 3/4 of the way into it, which I guess is good for a gluten-free sandwich.

It came with one side and I ordered the stir fried veggies....they were just OK.

I would post a link but can no longer link outside websites from work....security issue.....sorry! They are located in Massachusetts and may be in other states but have not checked into that. The menu is substantial for gluten-free so that was a pleasant surprise. The manager also told me they track how many gluten-free tables per day are served and have discovered it isn't just a few. The New England Patriots game from London, a couple of weeks ago, was televised on their big screen TV in the bar section of the pub and that day they served 20 gluten-free tables! Way to go!

      Having the will to be healthy but not the willpower

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      This is not a weakness.  It is a serious threat to your health.  I once read an interview with a representitive of a large company.  He proudly stated that his wheat based product is more addictive than potato chips.  The other issue is cultural.   Perhaps this book will help Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together.  It is published here on Celiac.com free to read.  Chapter 1 starts here Gluten-Centric Culture: The Commensality Conundrum - Chapter 1 - Are You Kidding? At first I ate anything, regardless of nutritional value. Fritos, M&M Peanuts, potato chips, fruit, steak; anything else. Like most habits, it takes about thirty days create the gluten free habit. Pretend you've...

      Having the will to be healthy but not the willpower

      Great advice from @trents.  A couple of other tips. Firstly, always try to have a good stock of gluten-free alternatives in the house so you aren't tempted to give in when there is nothing else available. Secondly,  as you will have noticed, gluten-free bread does taste quite different from regular bread.  But I think it was my GP who said making toast with it makes it taste much more like the usual stuff - and I would agree there. If you haven't already I suggest you give it a try. But remember, you will either need to toast it under a clean grill, or your Mom will need to buy you your own dedicated gluten-free toaster.

      Having the will to be healthy but not the willpower

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Crossaint! Are you living in the same home with your mother? Your experience with the cravings is very common in the celiac community, especially among the recently diagnosed. It might surprise you to hear this but gluten has addictive qualities much like opiates. It plugs into the same pleasure sensors as gluten in the brain and so for some people, there can be a significant withdrawal experience. It usually begins to subside in a matter of weeks but is perpetuated with inconsistency.  I think three major things need to happen for your to get on top of this: 1. You need to understand that more is at stake here than the number of bathroom trips you make if you...

      Having the will to be healthy but not the willpower

      Was recently diagnosed with Celiac after almost 16 years of suffering. The first week gluten free was amazing, my brain was working, i wasnt as bloated, i even started to not have to use the toilet 12 times in an hour. Excellent! But i keep having uncontrollable cravings for gluten. My mom is an amazing baker, woth no sympathy for my weakness and live for food, so of cohrse i ended up eating a bunch of gluten today. i dont know how to stop, i know its poison but at the end of the day i just feel like i need it. Will be re attempting gluten free tomorrow, but im scared that i wont be able to stop myself from eating the deliciously poisonous devil that gluten is. 😞

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      I wanted to say hello, and add that  early in eating gluten free I had  to avoid processed foods due to too many ingredients. I also had additional intolerances that needed time to subside. My team suggested I limit gluten free processed foods, as I was having issues with items with too many ingredients. I see Trents explained some of the culprits when he responded.  I found it helpful to go whole foods  diet. When I need inspiration I found Paleo and AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) recipes helpful to offer variety to my palate.  Often our bodies in the early stages prefer we go whole foods/ minimal processed foods. In turn, I realized I prefer freshly made salad dressing which I still make to...
