"I have to say I was left disappointed with Grind overall. I personally had a lovely meal (squid, followed by cauliflower and the carrot side) and also a nice espresso martini. I do feel, though, that the mains were fairly expensive despite not having sides included. One of the starters came out cold and we had to wait for another. I chose this restaurant because of the many gluten free options available and one of my friends is severely allergic. There was only 1 GF starter which was ordered and she confirmed that she is allergic to gluten to the waitress. A short time later, my friend was told that actually the starter is not actually GF as part of it is cooked in oil where gluten products are prepared. This was disappointing and instead of being offered a compromise (which I'm sure could have been arranged), my friend sat there and had to watch the rest of us eat our starters with nothing to eat. My friend said that this is becoming a problem as she has been coming across restaurants labelling foods as GF for people who are after the GF lifestyle but when it comes to those who are intolerant, it means they cannot eat anything for fear of a severe reaction. Despite being early in the evening, the toilets were also really messy with toilet paper all over the floor. The positive that came out of this evening was the service. The staff were so friendly and lovely. Also the hot apple crumble, that was delicious!"
