Places to Eat
If you own or run an establisment that caters for special diets then many thousands want to know about you...so please let them know about you! If you are one of those many thousands looking for somewhere to eat out keep coming back but while the huge task of loading is in progress please feel free to Contact Us and let us know which geographical area you are looking in and we will be happy to give you some pointers! You can search restaurants by location and your special diet type using the search facility at the bottom of this page. Eating Out with a Food Allergy or Special Diet Eating out can be a pain when you have a food allergy or intolerance or following a diet for medical reasons. Even finding restaurants and eateries offering the more mainstream lifestyle dining preferences such as organic, vegetarian or vegan can be a challenge. If you can, call the establishment you are wanting to eat at in advance to give fair warning and talk through your requirements. This gives the chef time to ensure they look after you and avoids any unecessary embarrassment and time wasting of questions and to-ing and fro-ing of busy waiting staff to check. For peace of mind if you have an allergy or severe intolerance it is worth discussing ingredients, storage, preparation cross-contamination avoidence techniques to make sure they really can cater for you safely. For more detailed information and eating out or travelling on a special diet please refer to the section under your particular diet type. Special Diets Directory is talking to restaurants and food outlets accross the board to find those who can genuinely and safely cater for particular allergies, needs or preferences - and do it with a smile! Many do without thinking about it and sometimes without appreciating just how much we need to know about it! Special Diets Directory is also helping restaurants network with suppliers of fine allergen free ingredients, food producers and allergy aware chefs and trainng companies. This is in addition to campaigning for awareness to let the restaurants and food industry as a whole know how they could profit and capture the huge slice of the population's custom they are missing out on. They can only benefit from knowing how they will win that business and loyalty by simply changing a few basic ingredients and approaches in their standard recipes! Creating a hassle free 'one fits all menu' is the key. Wheat free, gluten free and dairy free ingredents are particularly easy to source and often superior alternatives to include as standard in their main menus. Many small producers hold the key to making their lives and ours easier in supplying gorgeous artisan, hand made allergy free meals pre-frozen as a high quality standby. Our aim is to make it easy and worry/hassle free for restaurants to provide for all types of special dietary needs and create a 'Win Win' situation . If you are a chef or caterer and would like information on how to safely cater for this huge, neglected chunk of the population with minumum hassle, please contact us. For all restaurants, hotels, cafes, bistros, pubs, sandwich bars, canteens etc - welcoming anyone with a food allergy is 'the future' and more and more chefs, cooks and caterers are seeing the light. The tide is changing with infinite high quality dining opportunities to look forward to! Nearly all of the 1000's of people we spoke to at the Allergy Show said that they never or hardly ever eat out......and this is just the tip of the iceburg. Our bodies are rebelling against the overload of wheat, dairy and salt; the western diet is leading to food allergies and intolerances to the point of their becoming the norm if something doesn't change - and soon. The head count is exploding. With an estimated 1 in 3 to 1 in 10 people on a special diet of some kind (so many undiagnosed that accurate statistics aren't yet available) eating out safely should be standard..... This, the 'Eating Out' part of the Special Diets Directory, is currently under construction but there are masses of eateries coming soon who cater for various special dietary requirements so please bookmark/add us to your favourites. In the meantime if you have any personal favourite allergy friendly eateries to recommend (any at all from restaurants and hotels to cafes sandwich bars and takeaways) please 'Contact Us' or put them up on Rave and Praise and we will try to feature them!
