Hi Ghast, Sorry your fruit bowl was not up to scratch, if you had mentioned it to our very friendly young staff, we would have changed it. Most of our menu items are gluten free as standard, we have gluten free fryers, gluten free flours and separate chopping boards etcetera. Some people still ask for the gluten free 'option' without realising that the dish is entirely gluten free in the first place, as with the ladies you were paying attention to. People like to eat at River Green rather than staying at home to make it themselves, on the whole they find the food and the service very good. Perhaps you would prefer your own company rather than bothering those around you, if you want to stay at home with your tesco ingredients, then we won't have to make you a special dessert, because you turned your nose up at all the choices on our menu.
