The Horns

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.
