Gluten-free options
Gluten-free is a genuine, marked provision across the Blue Diamond menu. Gluten-free bread is available throughout — with soup, sandwiches and Sunday lunch — and there's gluten-free Peroni on the drinks list. Naturally gluten-free options include plated salads, poached salmon, a frittata and roast dinners (check the gravy, stuffing and Yorkshire). A gluten-free fish and chips appeared at launch but isn't on the current core menu, so ask in-centre whether it's still served.
Before you order
The chain's allergen policy asks you to tell staff on arrival and before ordering, and notes that while every care is taken, food may have come into contact with the major allergens — so there's no dedicated gluten-free area. It's a large open kitchen handling battered fish, scampi and paninis, so gluten-free bread is the most concrete safe item, and the safety model relies on you telling front-of-house and them relaying to the kitchen. Menus can vary by location, so confirm Wilton's exact line-up.
Worth asking?
Do you still serve gluten-free fish and chips, and if so is it fried separately? Beyond gluten-free bread and Peroni, which dishes can be made coeliac-safe, and is there an allergen matrix to see? In the open kitchen, how do you prevent cross-contact for a coeliac?
What this means for coeliacs
Gluten-free bread is available throughout the menu — with soup, sandwiches and Sunday lunch — and gluten-free Peroni is on the drinks list, alongside several GF-marked dishes; the Blue Diamond chain allergen policy does acknowledge cross-contamination is possible and no dedicated fryer is stated, so it is worth raising any concerns with staff.
