PJ's Restauraunt & Biggles sausages
Posted by janice on 28/8/2005
went to London yesterday armed with my list of places to eat that I had printed out from the map page. I had decided on PJ's restaurant at Covent Garden.
We found it but the menu in the window didn't say anything about Gluten free and nearly all the meals came with a sauce or dressing so I wasn't too sure, so we decided to go in for a drink and we would ask and I decide after that.
To my great surprise nearly everything is GF, the owner himself came to talk to me, all their sauces are GF the only things I couldn't have were the pasta and the battered things.They have been doing GF foods for over 10 years and what I liked even more than the food which was FANTASTIC was that he took this opportunity to teach some of his new staff about GF and what it meant for them and the customer.
so I had a wonderful meal including chips for the first time in 3 months because he assured me that they make them themselves and they have a separate fryer just for the chips.
Although I was pretty full after my main course and side serving of fries I just had to have the flourless chocolate cake just because I could! and it was loverly. there is no way I would have believed it was GF if they hadn't reassured me that it really was.
the staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for me including providing me with rice cakes instead of the bread, I don't really like rice cakes but it so nice that they had bothered to make the effort that I ate them and enjoyed them.
It's very comfortable and nice and quiet not loud and touristy like you might expect for Covent Garden they also have live music in the evenings and it is very reasonably priced for London. If you are ever in London and near Covent Garden it is well worth a visit at any time of day.

we also went to visit Biggles Gourmet Sausages whilst we were in London. These were listed on last months addition list. It's a funny little shop in a side street but the choice is fantastic, it was so hard to decided on which ones to have. we ended up with 3 different types. haven't tried any yet will try some tonight but the look and smell fantastic. the leaflet I picked up says they do mail orders so it might be worth checking out if you can't get to London.

The staff actually recognise when I go in with my friends now and don't bother to offer me the bread basket, they take my plate away and replace it with rice cakes which I tihnk is lovely. Even when full I still manage to eat the chocolate cake because I can!!!
