Title: An interesting project looking for support
Post by: Ina on September 21, 2013, 11:04:47 am
       A friend of mine has asked me to spread the news about this project that she is planning with her husband and - hopefully - ask for support. They are planning to open a restaurant that caters for people with food allergies - she herself was diagnosed with lactose intolerance some time ago and finds it impossible to go out for a meal. Personally, I don't eat wheat anymore - I'm also a vegetarian and can only confirm that going out for a meal just doesn't happen if you can't eat "standard" fare, so I think this project could be a winner. She's a bit of a smallholder herself, always had hens and a veg garden... Despite a lot of health problems, she's a real grafter, so I think there is a good chance of success - if they can get it off the ground.   Please feel free to spread the news wherever you think useful.         http://bloomvc.com/project/Restaurant-for-Food-Allergies (http://bloomvc.com/project/Restaurant-for-Food-Allergies)   Btw - I know she uses a lot of goat products - so there may even be a future market for some of you... :)

What a great idea :thumbsup: , I am intolerant of lots of foods and so are 2 of my 3 daughters, although they are in Australia but how good to be able to choose nice things on a menu rather than either opting out or being ill the next day...I have shared too!

That's a nice idea,

I've always want to find a place where I could be  booking a couple of days ahead via the internet website  and being able to select your meal and possibly wines etc , then pay for it on the site facility .

I  would also be useful for the restaurant would know what to buy and keep waste down .  They would of course still be able to have the extras in the freezers etc. and other wines etc  in the rack or beers in kegs & bottles.

 It could certainly make for a big range of different & interesting  foods being available due to pre ordering a week or more ahead ,that's for sure. Rather than the two or three plate " free of"  meals usually found in the  most pub  grub ( Yuk) menus

I would certainly eat there if it was near enough. Being gluten intolerant, I get fed up with jacket potatoes often being the only thing I can eat on the menu.
