where else, apart from Macdonalds, can we eat out and see allergy lists?

[misdee]

dd4 has egg, milk, and peanut allergies, and has been given an epipen.

i knoew macdonalds were good for listing allergens, and there half a dozen or so items that dd4 can actually have, though she may get fed up of fish fingers when she is older.

where else lists things well? when i have asked before if they could find out if things were cooked in butter or oil, or milk added, when out and about i get a lot of blank looks and 'i dunno'

Nandos and gourmet burger both have allergy books.

Beefeater and Table Table (both part of Whitbread group) have allergy info available online so you can check what they can and can't eat before you go. The Harvester website allows you to check what's suitable for certain allergies too.

Bella Italia do an allergy book too.

Nandos are very good as is burger king.

Wetherspoons have a list online and you can ask for it in the pub as well

My friend's DD has similar allergies to your DD and they go to Pizza Express. They've never had any problems.

I've heard good things about harvester, a friend who is dairy soy, egg and gluten free was able to eat there,they had seperate preparation area and adapted things for her also.

Nando's has an easy to use allergy folder and the manager will personally make your meal.

DD is nut and egg allergic. We don't eat out that much!

Nando's again, although they do use a lot of nuts and seeds around the place. Last time we went I heard the manager calling out that it was an order for a nut allergic person, which seemed good.
McDonalds
Pizza Express
Giraffe is pretty good
Pret a Manger has good allergy info - virtually all sandwiches have mayonnaise though

Marks and Spencer for some of their ready meals.

Good luck!

We go to Pizza Express a lot - dd is allergic to dairy, egg, tree nuts and fish. She has a no cheese pizza and raspberry sorbet for dessert which she is really pleased with because most of the time she misses out on desserts. The staff in our local have recently been retrained on allergies, last time they made her pizza twice because the waiter cut the first one using a cutter previously used on a cheese pizza and then remembered he shouldn't have done.
Carluccio's and Nandos also good; in fact we find most chains have an allergy booklet available when we ask. We find a lot of childrens' meals non allergy friendly though so usually need to tweak the menu or choose an adult meal.

Most chains but Google in advance.
