Gluten Free

One in every 100 people in the UK has coeliac disease, an autoimmune problem which means they become very ill if they eat anything containing gluten. The only way to manage the condition is to follow a strict, life-long gluten-free diet, which can make eating out a bit of a challenge.

Luckily, there are many venues in the Maldon District which are experienced in preparing safe, gluten-free dishes - and can often cope with other special diets for those who have food allergies or sensitivities, such as those who need to be wheat-free, nut-free or dairy-free.

The venues featured in the first section below all offer gluten-free dishes on their menus, but we would always recommend telling the chef about any dietary issues at the time of ordering.
