Finding gluten free options at UK chain restaurants, pubs and cafes can feel much easier when everything is gathered in one place. This nationwide list brings together 54 chains across a huge mix of venues, from sit down restaurants and family pubs to coffee shops, bakeries, fast food and even entertainment venues. For anyone with coeliac disease looking for reliable starting points, it covers a broad spread of familiar names and popular choices from the wider coeliac community.
The range is one of the biggest strengths here. You can browse everything from Italian chains like Prezzo, Bella Italia, ASK and Zizzi's, to well known pub groups, burger restaurants, coffee shops and fast food favourites. The guide spans 31 restaurants, 10 pubs, 6 fast food chains, 2 cafes, 2 coffee shops, 1 bakery, 1 entertainment venue and 1 ice cream parlour, with cuisines including English, Italian, American, Thai, Asian, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Greek, French, Caribbean, Mexican and more.
It is also especially useful if you want to find your nearest branch quickly. We list individual branches for 12 chains, with a total of 1,226 branches included. That means you can drill down into major names such as Nando's with 462 branches, The Lounges with 269 branches, Prezzo with 95 branches, and Brunning and Price with 78 branches. Other detailed listings include Pho, Bills, Rosa's Thai and Honest Burger, making this a genuinely practical way to search for gluten free places to eat.
Some chains stand out for their popularity with reviewers too, including The Lounges at 5 stars, Honest Burger at 4.5 stars, Hickory's Smokehouse at 5 stars, Pho at 4.5 stars and Brunning and Price at 4 stars. Whether you are searching for a quick coffee, a pub meal, a bakery treat or a full restaurant visit, this nationwide chain list is a strong place to start when planning gluten free eating out in the UK.
While we take every care to make sure our eating out guide is accurate, places can change without notice, we always recommend that you check ahead before making plans.
All eateries are recommended by our website visitors, and before going live we check menus and reviews, but we do not vet or visit places to independently check them.
