Eating out with allergies in London - is it possible?

[coral]

Hi,

I'm after any recommendations for restaurants in central London which anyone might have visited and eaten at with allergic adults/children. I am planning a day out in London for a significant birthday for my husband and have organised everything apart from where to eat. My dd has milk & nut allergies (anaphylactic reactions) so we never really eat out with her expect for in a great vegan cafe where you eat out of cardboard boxes! I need to find something a bit posher - plates and proper cutlery would do!! Whilst I can take her own food with her it would be nice for her to be able to join in the whole day (assuming I can keep her safe) but am reluctant to try anywhere which does not come with a positive recommendation. So if, you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks very much.

PS - if you have had any bad experiences, please can you share them with me so I know which places to completely avoid!

no experience but found this www.veganlondon.co.uk/ which might be a good place to start?

this looks like heaps of fun www.root-master.co.uk/

try mildredsvegan restuarent or vegan london

Thanks for the link paddlechick - that is a really useful site and was actually where I found the fab vegan cafe we go to from.

However, as no-one in our party is actually vegan or indeed vegetarian (dd & I only frequent the vegan cafe because it is safe for her to eat at), I was looking for something more general in the terms of the food it provides but sympathetic to and able to cater for people with allergies.

try this [[http://www.toptable.co.uk/venues/restaurants/?id=1609] check list ticks allergy friendly

good write up here concerning how the place dealt with a nut allergy www.bestlondonrestaurants.co.uk/london/restaurants/details.asp?qid=100610

i'll try that one again www.toptable.co.uk/venues/restaurants/?id=1609
