Your Trusted Gluten-Free Restaurant in London
Established in 2013 by Marc Warde and Adrian Morgan, Niche Food & Drink began as a modern British dining concept with a focus on homemade bakery products. Following Marc's coeliac diagnosis, the restaurant underwent a transformative shift to become London's first 100% gluten-free establishment, maintaining its commitment to quality ingredients and on-site preparation. Over a decade, we expanded our allergen-conscious approach to exclude nuts and sesame while offering extensive dairy-free, vegetarian, and vegan options. Our kitchen practices have maintained a Grade A Coeliac UK accreditation for five consecutive years, ensuring rigorous standards against cross-contamination.We combine seasonal British and European cuisine with innovative gluten-free techniques, creating dishes that appeal to all diners regardless of dietary requirements. Our Angel, Islington location provides a warm, contemporary dining space complemented by rotating exhibitions of London photographer Matthew Burlem's work. Through our 10-Year Anniversary Cookbook, we share our culinary expertise and personal journey with home cooks worldwide.
