The Nook (Used to be called the Nook and Cranny) in Warsash. Its by far the best restaurant I have ever eaten at and I am a real foodie! They do fantastic food and amazing afternoon tea. The Jetty (new restaurant in Ocean Village is good. And would recommend Oxfords Brassiere in Southampton. Enjoy x

AVOID The Bold Forrester. They put a "gluten free" meal together which wasn't gluten free and made him incredibly sick. They had absolutely no idea. Gluten free is easy when you cook for yourself but all supermarkets have gluten free areas although you don't have stick to those aisles, just checkvthe ingredients. Popcorn is gluten free but it doesn't say on the packaging, just in the ingredients x
Maddie J. replied:
Laneways cafe in Lee on solent have a complete gf menu (anything from toasted sarnies to have potato or soup and a roll - and the cake cabinet is completely gluten free. They do wheat versions as well during the day but ceoliac in the family and great understanding of cc. Marie even does gf éclairs and cream slices on certain days if the week. They also do dinner evenings where you can have a 3 course meal and everything is gf - no wheat food cooked at all that night and it is lovely - feel very safe indeed.

Offbeat at Chesapeake Mill is brilliant for vegan food. There's always Trago Lounge in Southampton or The Roebuck in Wickham have a vegan menu both serving a regular menu too!
She's asked not Manhattans...... You can't beat Papa Johns in my opinion, but not sure if they deliver to Locks Heath. You can check your postcode on their website tho xx
