Why Gluten-Free Doesn’t Mean Flavour-Free: Discover The GF Table

Claymation-style gluten-free meal on a wooden table, featuring pasta, salad, bread, and a sign that says “No Gluten, No Gloom.”

Being coeliac isn’t a lifestyle trend or a quirky preference—it’s an autoimmune condition that turns everyday food into a minefield. And while the gluten-free world has grown, so has the pile of expensive, tasteless disappointment.

That’s where The GF Table comes in.

I’m Ben: full-time coeliac, part-time food critic, and someone who once nearly ate dog biscuits in public because I was too polite to say no. This blog isn’t about perfection—it’s about surviving gluten-free life with humour, honesty, and as little crumbling bread as possible.

And if any of that sounds familiar? You should probably subscribe. Trust me—I’m just getting started.

That’s me. I run this chaos. Welcome!

What You’ll Find at The GF Table

Honest Gluten-Free Reviews

No sponsorship fluff, no “it’s great for gluten-free”—just real opinions from someone who actually has to eat this stuff.

Easy, Real-Life Recipes

Budget-friendly. Coeliac-safe. Occasionally edible by toddlers. I’m not a chef—I’m a tired dad who just wants dinner on the table before someone cries (usually me).

Check out my gluten-free recipes—it’s a small but growing collection of meals that won’t fall apart on you.

Tips and Survival Guides

From decoding dodgy labels to dining out without drama, I share what I’ve learned—usually the hard way.

Because this isn’t just a food blog—it’s a coeliac coping mechanism.
I’ve been misdiagnosed, misunderstood, and once told it was all down to eating too many carrots. If you’ve ever felt the same, you might want to check out my most-read post: The Symptoms That Keep On Giving

Stories, Sarcasm, and Support

Because sometimes you need advice, and other times you just need someone to say “Yeah, that gluten-free pie was tragic.”

Gluten-Free Events Near You (Especially if You’re Near Me)

I’m now involved in helping run local gluten-free events—like the Gluten-Free Froth Fest 2025 Festival—where we celebrate proper pints, street food that won’t betray your intestines, and a community that gets it.

If you’re in the UK and want to know:

  • Where and when these events are happening
  • Which vendors are actually coeliac-safe
  • Whether I’ll be awkwardly talking on stage again

Subscribing means you’ll be the first to hear about it.

Some of the earlier images on this site are AI-generated because, let’s be honest, I had neither the time nor the skills to snap Pinterest-worthy photos while juggling another job. But hey, practice makes progress! These days, I’m feeling much braver behind the camera. Happy reading (and judging my photos), everyone!
