River Cafe

 

Before we went on holiday, we went to the River Cafe in Hammersmith.

It was one of the best meals we've ever had and although it was expensive, it wasn't that so.

But what marked it out was their attitude to me as a coeliac. I said I was when I booked and this was picked up immediately by the waiter, when we sat down. The menu was then gone through by the head waiter, who marked it so there would be no mistakes. Interestingly, only the four pasta dishes were completely off limits, with three other dishes being simply modified.

So if you are in West London and want a really special lunch or dinner, I can really recommend the River Cafe.

Waitrose Cafe

 

I had half an hour to waste and went into Newmarket Waitrose cafe.

They had two different GF cakes. I had the Banana from someone like Castle Catering. It was very good.

Epilepsy

 

I was at a barbecue today with a reasonably famous sportsman, who has been told he can't compete as he suffered what looked like an epilepsy attack. On talking to him, I found out that his mother is a coeliac.

Is there a connection?
