Hello! I’m Ben Haggerty, and I’ve been living the gluten-free life for over eight years now—thankfully, the gluten-free journey is more than just a salad with no croutons! It’s had its bumps, but I’ve picked up a lot of tricks along the way and remain committed to my strict Coeliac-friendly diet. Here’s the thing: humor is my secret weapon. When gluten seems to be hiding in everything, a good laugh keeps me sane. It’s all about finding the funny side of things, even when life’s throwing gluten bombs at me!
A few years ago, when I moved to Milton Keynes, I found it nearly impossible to figure out where I could safely eat out. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and created a Facebook group to help others in the area. It took off faster than a gluten-free pizza disappears at a dinner party! When I moved to Wellingborough, I did the same, and now both groups are helping people discover hidden gluten-free gems.
But I’m not stopping there. My goal is to expand this network across the UK—and beyond—so we can not only help others find the best places to eat but also raise awareness in the restaurant world about the importance of being truly gluten-free. This site isn’t just about where to eat; it’s also about sharing my journey—past, present, and future—with a sprinkle of humor to keep things light and delicious!
