Fordingbridge & north
The Three Lions
Stuckton, Nr. Fordingbridge, SP6 2HF
At a glance
A seventeenth-century restaurant with rooms in the hamlet of Stuckton outside Fordingbridge, relaunched under new ownership, whose menu marks gluten-free dishes explicitly — including a gluten-free cider-battered haddock.
Gluten-free options
The current menu marks nine dishes gluten free, spanning Durban beef curry, hunters chicken, baked salmon, gammon, ribs, a vegan Penang curry and both steaks, with a separate marking for dishes that can be adapted. The New Forest cider battered haddock carries the gluten-free mark. The kitchen asks guests to raise dietary requirements at booking.
Before you order
Nothing published explains the frying and prep arrangements behind that gluten-free battered haddock — whether it gets its own fryer or shares oil with wheat batter — and the venue changed hands recently, so practices may still be settling. Researched with care — never a guarantee.
Worth asking?
Is the gluten-free battered haddock fried in a dedicated fryer, or in oil shared with wheat-battered fish? Are the gluten-free marked curries and sauces thickened without wheat flour in the same prep area?
