UK 100% gluten free – Northern England
Northern England 100% gluten free
Welcome to this series of posts aiming to capture all the 100% gluten free venues in the UK. This listing covers all of Yorkshire, Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Lancashire, County Durham, Cumbria, Northumberland and Isle of Man, but at this stage Yorkshire & County Durham are dominating the scene.
For other regions of the UK, including London, please see the UK 100% gluten free page. Please subscribe (see box to your right), or connect via Facebook or Twitter for updates.
The criteria I used for inclusion, was that the business has to be:
- 100% gluten free (ie no cross contamination risk), and
- have its own outlet that you can visit, such as a shop, café or a stall at a market.
If you know of a business that fits the criteria that is not listed, please let me know via the contact page.
