[Food] Gluten free scran at the Amex

[happypig]

Well, lucky old me, just bagged a pair of tickets to see us give those whey-faced poltroons from Croydon a proper leathering...

Anyways, my son is also coming and he is a coeliac and is also vegetarian.

As he may not have time for tea before we leave, can anyone tell me whether there's GF veggie grub available or will he need to take a sandwich or somesuch ?

The only option is the veggie rice thing

Do they do them in the Upper East ?

He could have some chips outside?

Only if cooked in a fryer that hasn’t had any non gf batter in it - not always the case.

Chips have 27 “ingredients” or more these days! If I was coeliac I wouldn’t eat at a football match. Risk of cross contamination, not the product allergen declarations. I wouldn’t trust the casual labour servers that tend to be behind the counters are sufficiently trained. Might be doing them a huge disservice but if I’m coeliac as opposed to gluten intolerant then I just wouldn’t chance being ill for several days just for eg a sausage roll.

Yep, he can't take the chance.

Also celiac here.
1000% recommend preparing food and bringing it with.
Not worth taking the risk of any of the food there unless it’s clearly marked and sold as Gluten Free.

Very frustrating disease to have. Always have to plan well in advance when eating outside home.

Well l am neither coeliac nor gluten intolerant, but that advice makes perfect sense to me.
