Calling ahead and confirming details with the chef is advised.

DESI BITES

Stevenage SG2 9SE ·

An Indian restaurant in Aurora, CO offering many naturally gluten-free dishes like dosa (made from lentil flour) and curries. The kitchen is shared with gluten-containing ingredients, and there is no dedicated fryer for dosa. One coeliac reviewer who ate dosa noted the cooking method is not shared with other baked goods, but the FMGF listing warns it is not a dedicated facility. Staff will check with the kitchen on request. Best to confirm current protocols directly.

The Horns

Knebworth SG3 6RZ · Pub · British

The Horns in Datchworth offers a separate gluten-free menu with options like chicken goujons, lemon sole bites, burgers, gammon and steak all noted as GF. A coeliac-focused review site reports options marked on the main menu and a good understanding of cross-contamination. A FindMeGlutenFree review mentions a dedicated fryer for chips, but another says the kitchen is shared. The Coeliac UK listing (Datchworth branch) is behind a login wall so the accreditation tier cannot be verified. This branch is not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen; cross-contamination risk exists. Call ahead to confirm protocols.
