With around 5% of people having a clinically diagnosed food allergy, and growing numbers suffering unpleasant reactions to certain ingredients, the issue of food allergies is a serious one.
The Falcondale Hotel, in Ceredigion, West Wales, is determined to cater creatively for guests with food allergies, to ensure that they enjoy fine dining to the full - just like everyone else.
The hotel is already on the Coeliac Society’s web site, as the hotel is fully up-to-speed in catering for guests with gluten intolerance. However, all dietary requirements are catered for.
“All too often people, with allergies are treated as an afterthought, but not at The Falcondale,†explains hotel owner, Lisa Hutton.
“All guests have to do is phone in advance, or even tell us when they arrive, that they have a problem with a particular food product, and our chef will ensure that they have beautifully prepared meals that suit their dietary requirements.â€
“Obviously, however, the more notice we have the better, as we can stock up on a wider range of appropriate ingredients,†adds Lisa.
The award-winning Falcondale restaurant is already committed to sourcing the finest calibre products possible.
The county of Ceredigion offers a rich larder, providing lobster, crab, sea bass, sewin, Welsh black beef and Welsh lamb. With neighbouring Carmarthenshire providing speciality cheeses and excellent cured ham.
“The restaurant has been awarded 2AA rosettes for five years running. Low food miles are an integral feature of the menus, and part of the hotel’s green policy, and many dishes include herbs and salad greens from The Falcondale’s own kitchen garden,†explains Lisa. “Food provenance is very important to us.â€
The Falcondale Hotel also has a dedicated vegetarian menu.
