However, a downside was that there was only one meat option for the Sunday Roast (beef). Additionally, although various levels of cooking were requested for the beef, they all arrived prepared the same way (medium well). The pricing of a medium-sized bottle of water at £5.25 was also perceived as excessive, even for London standards.

The initial waiter wasn’t clear what gluten free meant, so got someone else who was really helpful I was just astounded that there was no indication of what was gluten free on the menu (instead I was given a large ring binder to cross reference it myself), there were only a couple of main courses that didn’t contain gluten, there was no possibility of substitutes like gluten free bread…. even the mashed potato had gluten in! I understand how hard it is to cater for all dietary requirements I’m just surprised that where there were dishes that you would imagine were naturally gluten free, they were not.
