Our Story
Gluten-free goodness with a story behind every bite
The Bees Knees - Gluten Free Cafe began with a simple mission: to create a haven where those with gluten sensitivities/intolerances, and those with Coeliac Disease could rediscover the joy of eating out.
Our journey started with Emma and her passion for inclusivity and no one missing out! T
Today, we pride ourselves on being a 100% gluten-free destination, with people travelling from all over the UK to try us!
All of our homemade savoury and sweet treats are created so you are unable to notice tha they are infact gluten free... and they are made with a whole lot of love.
Why should having to eat gluten free mean missing out??! Or being made ill from mistakes/unawareness/ignorance.
Not at The Bees Knees!!!
Emma was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease in 2011. At this time, there was very little knowledge of Coeliac Disease, gluten, and how much it can affect someone's health. Even the doctor had to google 'gluten free food' when they told her she could not eat gluten and she asked what she COULD eat!
Since her diagnosis, Emma has strived for a greater understanding of how gluten can effect individuals, and is incredibly passionate about changing things - and getting rid of the stigma around 'gluten free.'
Emma's mission is to prove that 'gluten free' food, is just food! It's not 'funny' it's not something that should be taken lightly - and it is certanily not something that should isolate anyone!
Everyone needs food to survive. So why is it so hard for people to understand the need for safe gluten free food?!
...and that's why we are here!
