Good Sunday Lunch Posted by Jules on GF board 28/12/2003
We had a very positive experience at our local Golf Club today for their Sunday Lunch Carvery. We had phoned in advance to advise them that a Coeliac (our daughter) would be in the party. There was a choice on the starter that was GF and G/F gravy was made for us. They also cooked broccoli & cauliflower seperately for us as the one at the carvery had cheese sauce on it. They had prepared a beautiful individual strawberry pavlova and a lovely fresh fruit platter which they brought out at the same time as our sweets. They were fully aware of what GF was all about and no explaining had to be made - it ws such a huge relief after our bad experience a few weeks ago for a Sunday lunch out. We shall return there! Details to folow on the map. (Oake Manor Golf Club, Nr Taunton, Somerset)
Oake Manor Golf Club nr Taunton. The address is Oake Manor Golf Club, Oake, Nr Taunton and the telephone number for catering is 01823 461992.

First Gf Meal for Husband Posted by Jules on 10/12/2006 GF board
We went out for our first GF meal since my husband was diagnosed last night. It is one of our favourite eating places anyway & they made sure everything he ate was GF. We took bread rolls. The starters are all help yourself buffet style which was all GF, then the main courses were all ok and for dessert, we had taken along some GF flour and they had made some GF pancakes. (It is a Swedish style BBQ restaurant and one of their speciality puds is pancakes) This was followed by cheese & biscuits (we forgot the biscuits but he was fine without)
It was such a relief that our favourite place is still ok for us to eat out & I would thoroughly recommend if anyone is in the area but please phone & talk to them first - you have to book anyway as it is very popular!
It is Svetlana's, 24 Upper High Street, Taunton Tel 01823 333750

Roots CafePosted by Jules on 9/11/2011, 8:01:19 Found a place recently in Taunton that has a selection of GF food - www.rootscafe.co.uk/They offer GF Crepes, salads, usual jackets & GF cakes - lovely coffee too! Relaly nice place, very friendly staff. Not far from where Flowers (that has now closed!) used to be. Right opposite Debenhams. Must also say that the take-away GF Crepe man is now back (bottom of High Street near Boots!) ************************************ Roots Cafe, TauntonPosted by Siobhan on 6/3/2013 GF board Think this cafe has been mentioned before. I had a fabulous lunch here yesterday. Almost everything on the very extensive menu is gluten free or can be made gluten free. They also do a lot of vegetarian and vegan options so they're able to cope with lactose intolerance too. I had chicken burger (crunchy coating that wasn't greasy and a bun )and wedges, and a hazlenut milk latte. I've posted a review on trip advisor too as I want to support places like this by spreading the word. www.rootscafe.co.ukRoots CafeThe Corner House 27 North Street | (Near the bridge) Taunton | TA1 1LW Telephone | 01823 283277 Email | taunton@rootscafe.co.uk ******************* Roots Cafe, Taunton Posted by Bill D on 6/3/2013 GF board ... I have posted before about Roots, we live in Somerset and not too far away so this is a real treat for me when we have a shopping trip. Amazing range of GF meals, dont expect fast food service though as it is freshly cooked but worth the wait. Bill D.

Watch out at Roots cafe!
Went there yesterday with my husband, who is a coeliac. They have extensive choices which they claim are gluten free so we were quite excited. We double checked with the staff both before going, and about my husband's specific choice, that the food was REALLY gluten free and safe for a coeliac. They assured us it was.
So it was rather a shame that his "gluten free" meal left him looking 6 months pregnant within 15 mins of eating it, and nauseous for the rest of the day...
They do serve ordinary, glutin containing bread, and I fear that there may be cross-contamination issues in their kitchens.
If you are trully a coeliac and very sensitive (my husband is Very sensitive - one breadcrumb can = three days of misery followed by an immune arthritis flair later on) - then this place may Not be for you.

GF in Taunton Posted by Bill D on 30/11/2013
GF board
Hi all, had one of our occasional shopping trips to Taunton and went to Roots café for lunch, wonderful range of GF foods there, they can do most things on a very wide menu range. Posted here before but thought it worth another mention as the owner has obviously taken a lot of trouble to offer this. Also booked a meal at a small restaurant in Wedmore Somerset, Nanny Ida's. Owner very helpful about GF meals and can do sweets as well as mains which is a rarity, I think I am going to opt for the battered cod which again is a GF rarity. Bill D.
