Researched with care — never a guarantee. Menus and kitchens change, so it's always worth a quick word with staff before you order.

The Forage Deli & Eatery

39-41 High Street, SO43 7BE

At a glance

Independent family-run deli-cafe on Lyndhurst High Street, open daytime as a cafe and evenings as a restaurant. Diners report decent gluten free choices and helpful staff, but the venue's own menus say almost nothing about gluten free provision.

Gluten-free options

The printed evening menu marks a single gluten free dish, a carrot cake dessert, and the daytime menu carries no gluten free markings at all. Diners report gluten free toasties and cakes being available in practice, so the kitchen appears to do more than the menus advertise.

Before you order

Nothing first-party describes how gluten free food is prepared or kept apart, and the menus carry no allergen note. One TripAdvisor visitor describes staff as well informed on cross contamination, but that is a single attributed report, not the venue's own claim. Ask the kitchen directly what they can safely offer.

Worth asking?

Which daytime dishes can you make gluten free, and is gluten free bread kept separate from the ordinary loaves? Are gluten free toasties made in the same press as ordinary bread? How does the kitchen handle a coeliac order to avoid cross contamination?
