Allergy friendly restaurants in London?

[londonmum1968]

What is your experience with dining out with allergies in the UK? We want to go out to eat with our daughter who is seriously allergic to peanuts, but I am concerned about restaurants understanding the seriousness of the situation

No problem, Wagammana are very good,they have an allergy book with every recipe and will look up ingredients for you.

The Sofra chain also v good re information - you can talk to their head office and they will tell you exactly what is used. (to be clear, I have no experience of dining out with an allergic child, but of needing to find out exactly what is in foods for a myriad of religious and cultural needs for groups I have taken there)

nut free cafe!

PizzaExpress and Carluccio's both good for my daughter with Dairy, Egg, Sesame, Nuts, Fish allergies.

I was told that TGI Fridays are very good and, like Wagamama, have a book where they can look up all their food. Don't have first hand experience though.

Pizza Express, Ask, Rainforest Cafe (although they don't guarantee the food), Nandos all been recommended elsewhere .

There is always McDonalds, our back-up wherever we go.
