Neal's Yard, Covent Garden

During our week off together Ina and I headed off to London for the day. I had a quick look on the Supp Board of the Gluten Free Message Board for places to eat in London. I came across a tiny post about a place called Neal's Yard, just off Covent Garden. The guy who posted it claimed they did gluten free breads and pies so we thought we'd go and check the place out.

The area seems to be a popular Vegan/Vegetarian hotspot. They do serve some meat dishes but I got the impression they didn't want you to order them!

When we arrived we were greeted with a psychedelic mixture of buildings with a seating area between them.




It has a lovely atmosphere and we sat outside to eat. In terms of food, the menu labels all gluten free items WF (for wheat free - but they assured me it was all gluten free too.)




There were about 6 different types of gluten free breads (based around Brazilian Cheese Breads) and a gluten free pie option. The main course of cheesy rice bake was also gluten free (although it was Tuesday's special - it may be different other days.) I chose Pumpkin and Polenta Pie and Chicken Bread and both were absolutely gorgeous.




They also had gluten free sweet muffins and other desserts, although we were far too full to sample them.

If you are ever in London, or even the general London area, I strongly recommend paying Neal's Yard a visit.

I walked around with a big smile on my face for the rest of the day saying "I had gluten free pie!" at frequent intervals!!
