stonehouse Pizza & Carvery — Restaurant in Stratford-on-Avon

Easy to get to and park. Service was relatively quick and the food was quite nice.

The main reason for the negativity in my review is how they handle dietary restrictions. I have Ceoliacs. It's something I was born with, not something I've chosen to have. This means that I cannot have gluten. I was unbelievably made to sign a "declaration" essentially declaring that if I consume gluten then it's my own fault because the restaurant has made me aware that gluten containing products are used in the kitchen area. I just want to understand who an earth believes that this is a good way of handling food allergies. Talk about singling someone out and making them feel uncomfortable about eating at your restaurant.

It's so so easy to cater for gluten free and other allergies. Meat, vegetables, potatoes, are all gluten free. The whole rigmoral of signing a declaration is so dehumanising. You're not making your guests feel like they're looked after. You're making your guests feel like they're the issue and that as far as your concerned it's not your fault if anybody is affected by consuming the food. Imagine, as an example, asking guests to sign a form declaring that they're happy to have food poisoning if they consume raw meat, as you've made them aware that raw meat is handled in your kitchen. You simply wouldn't get away with it. So who an earth thought that this was a good idea?! Honestly, I was genuinely shocked and I think it's an extremely poor way of handling allergies.

One plus side was a staff member called Melissa, who also had Coeliacs. She was great and talked me through the menu.

I just think the whole approach to how allergies are being handled here is poor and needs to be re-thought. It stinks of a "Well it doesn't affect me, just stick a form in that they have to sign and we're in the clear if one of them gets ill" attitude.

Not recommended for dietary requirements, unless you feel like signing a declaration because of something that you cannot...

Never been before but many people have recommended it. Went today for a carvery. Staff were very helpful, cheerful and looked after us well. Had the carvery which had a superb variety of well cooked vegetables and sauces. It would have been really enjoyable if the food had been HOT. It was lukewarm on serving so by the end of the meal was cold. Will definitely return because staff are so...

The calzone pizza was not tasty, not much sauce, the filling was a few slices of sausage, very little untested chicken and large pieces of onion,part of the dough was not baked ,half was thrown into the trash, another margarita pizza not much spices, the driver handed me the pizza upside down, some of which ingredients stuck to the box,...
