DS-gluten free love a food fair!

Posted on the 25/01/2012 by

DS-gluten free jump at the chance to meet our customers face to face and see people try our tasty gluten free foods. Last year we travelled all over the UK to attend a number of gluten free food fairs. Amongst many we visited York, Penrith, Melksham and Ellesmere Port and the good news is this year will be no different!

The regular gluten free events are hosted by Coeliac UK, the charity who make it their mission to raise awareness of coeliac disease. These events occur across the country, we’ve listed the dates and locations of the ones we’ll be attending up to May, so you can find your nearest gluten free food fair! If you’ve never been to an event or maybe you’re a regular attendee and you’d like to suggest which DS-gluten free foods you’d like to sample next time, please comment below.

Samantha Hope says

- 12:32:00

margaret fitzsimons says

hello, have you any events planned for northern ireland ?

- 13:04:30

Beth Wallace says

Do you have any events planned for Scotland?

- 13:10:32

Martin Warburton says

Hear hear! I completely agree with Samantha Hope. Include me in the request...........

- 13:58:22

kasey monroe says

Have you anything for scotland as it all seems to be down south? thanks

- 14:34:00

kasey monroe says

could you also consider vegetarian dishes as the pasta one sounds lovely, then you go and stick ham in it, so not good for your vegetarian coeliacs which more and more people are these days

- 14:35:14

roma marett says

would love to see a food fair in and around Camberly or Frimley area

- 14:50:26

Jean Smith says

Do you have any events planned for Birmingham please?

- 15:02:32

jane says

anything coming up in edinburgh, scotland?

- 15:23:07

juli says

please put some events on in scotland

- 15:35:53

Peter Cresswell says

Is there any likelihood you will bring back the frozen steak pies? I thought they were delicious and really miss them.

- 15:46:46

George says

Would be good in East Anglia especially Bury St Edmunds.

Jo Freeman says

I too would welcome a range of non-meat and fish meals - I'm vegetarian (and no, fish are not vegetables!) and would love to stock up my freezer with some standby meal options when time is tight. I think that this might also get over some of the religious objections to meat/fish, too, and open up your market considerably.

- 16:14:18

brian brooks says

Are there any up coming events in Leicestershire please?

- 16:18:43

Malcolm Bowman says

Sorry to say your crackers are not as nice as their predecessors - and the packaging is poor ; most of the last lot were broken. A shame, because most of your products are really great.

- 16:40:23

Lyn Gill says

I would love to attend a G Free food event - I live in the Farnham Surrey area and would attend the proposed Camberley one.

Best wishes for success - so easy to buy gluten free here compared with Crete!

- 16:41:15

Gillian Heffernan McCarthy says

Now that you sell some of your products in the Republic of Ireland, Maybe you would consider dong a fair here. Shops here are bad in general for stocking gluten free foods, especially frozen foods and especially in the mid-west in Limerick, Tipperary and cork etc. Dublin gets everything and we are forgotten about. This is pure madness as statistics show that the mid-west of Ireland has more coeliacs than the others. So please please consider it.

- 16:43:28

helen says

im craving steak pies!!! I really miss them!!

- 17:53:19

Cathi says

same as some people above-an event in scotland and more veggie foods would be excellent!

- 17:58:01

Leanne Ross says

Another vote for a Scottish Gluten Free Event :)

- 18:00:21

Linda Jenkins says

Would you like a free table or two at the Norfolk and Norwich meeting on 31st March. Usually 70 to 100 people attend. Our meeting are friendly and informative. Cooking competition too !

- 18:24:35

Beverley Cousins says

Please can you put some events in wales.Would be a life saver.

- 18:59:14

- 19:03:47

David L Finnis OBE says

Please don't forget Scotland especially the West Coast!

- 20:32:05

jeannette shipper says

I would love the tortollini if the ham were left one - just a vegetarian option would be great - look forward to seeing on the supermarket shelves...........

- 21:03:19

natasha says

could you tell me if there are any events happening in plymouth please?

- 21:31:29

Tricia Norris says

I would love to try the tortellini but have not seen it in any of the 4 large Sainsburys i use. Also i find that lots of the 'ready made pies' (not just DS, Genuis are extremely guilty) have a very low meat content, could this be improved??

- 21:58:39

Neil and son says

Fife, Scotland Event PrettyPlease

- 22:34:22

Marta Cervelli says

I'm so glad you have organised these events. I would like to try your tortellini and ravioli. I ate them when I was abroad and they are deliciouse. Also is there any chance for milk biscuits?

- 22:44:07

- 23:07:52

Rhian says

Agree with Jo Freeman's statement fully.

I prefer fish over meat myself. Nothing religious, but a condition i have. Would love for a Free From/Gluten Free fish range

- 23:29:16

marie ralph says

Your steak pies and cheese flan were lovely. Please bring them back, even if it's only every now and again. I, for one, would stock my freezer.
It would be fantastic for coeliacs in this area of the northwest, near to Blackburn/Preston/Chorley/Burnley if you could arrange a visit. I'm sure you would get a warm, appreciative welcome.
While I have the chance, I would like to thank and congratulate you for being the only establishment of glutenfree products I totally trust Is there any chance of bringing back your delicious ricecakes without sesame? Please. I'm fed up with crisps, ricecakes always hit the spot with me.
Regards,
Marie

- 23:36:18

Debbie Whitehead says

I agree with Kasey and Samantha - please think of us vegetarian coeliacs when you are deve;oping new products. There are very few ready made vegetarian products that are gluten free.

- 09:10:30

allan says

why not have any in kent

- 11:05:16

Jane Batchelder says

Are there any events coming up in the Warwickshire area - I need some help with making bread!

- 11:36:12

Tina says

Would be really good if you could come to Bury St Edmunds Suffolk.

- 20:26:21

Lydia says

Have never been to a food fair before, are you able to tell me how i can gain entry please?

- 22:15:20

Jenny Clark says

Any events for the North West ie Preston?

- 22:50:36

Anna James says

Please come to Northern Ireland!

- 03:59:11

LESLIE DAVIES says

I LIVE IN BARRY,SOUTH WALES, WHERE THERE IS LITTLE HELP FOR PEOPLE WITH COELIACS. SO HOW ABOUT A SHOW DOWN HERE.

- 10:35:12

Margery Alexander says

I would love to try your lasagne and new tortellini dishes but see thet they are only available at Sainsburys. However, when I look in Sainsburys all I ever see are your cornish pasties and pies, which are very tasty, but I can NEVER find ready meals. I use to buy the pasta dishes at Asda - some 15 miles away - but now can never find them in the store. It is very frustrating !!

- 12:13:08

Barbara Guyton (Mrs) says

I really enjoy your loaves, Ciabatta Rolls and the Lunch Rolls too. Have now managed to find pastry in Sainsbury's at Salisbury. My usual retailer is Waitrose at Gillingham (Dorset) but they do not carry any frozen products. I would be very interested to know of any Food Fairs in Southern England this year.

- 17:07:18

roger says

I agree with george east anglia show would be fantastic ,

- 18:18:25

Anna says

Any plans to do a show in the south west? Ie bath, Bristol etc?

- 22:06:20

Rosemary says

I'd welcome some dairy/soya free meals, as I cannot eat any of your products because I'm intolerant to dairy/soya as well as wheat. This means I have to make most of what I eat which can be very time consuming. I'm sure there must be plenty of other people like me that would love to be able to buy ready made meals.

- 23:37:39

DS-glutenfree says

Thanks to everyone who commented, we've had such a great response to this blog. Dates and locations of further gluten free food fairs will be posted in March/April time, we're still waiting to confirm some details with Coeliac UK. Keep the suggestions for locations coming though guys, we do host our own events about 5 times a year so it's great to hear what places you'd like us to visit. @Linda thank you for the invite! If you could email the details to info@dsglutenfree.co.uk we can see if a representative from DS is free for the day :)

- 11:25:13

Jane Curtis says

Hi just to say that your products are great but is there any plans to do a show in the bristol area?

- 07:29:05

DS-glutenfree says

Thanks Jane, the nearest one we think to you would be the Gloucester food fair, which is scheduled for July. We don't have any specific date/location as of yet though so we'll keep you posted.

- 08:38:27

Mary Cope says

Superb products, have never been to a food fair, any plans please for the Staffordshire area ? Thank you.

- 01:21:57

DS-glutenfree says

Hi Mary we don't think there's anything coming up in your particular area, however, the Leicester food fair which is in October is about an hour away? We'll let you know if we hear of anything else which is nearer!

- 11:05:07

Betty Barnes says

I would love to try your frozen pstry products but Asda in /telford do not appear to stock them, nor can I find any in the Bridgnorth store. Can you help

- 14:33:56

DS-glutenfree says

Hi Betty, we've looked at your local Asda store to see what frozen foods they should stock. Hopefully this will help!

Telford - Bonta Margherita, Cornish Slices, Pepperoni Pizza, Sausage Rolls & Yorkshire Puddings.

- 17:04:03

Margaret Trafford says

Love your crispbreads and would love to try more of your range but unable to find it in my local area, please help.

- 17:07:09

Margaret Trafford says

Do you have any plans for a Fair in Nottingham area please.

- 17:12:42

Myra Marshall says

My local Asda in Watford are selling your Pizza bases with the best before dates of January 2012. I know we are just into February but I am not sure they would be safe to eat? Can you reassure me pls. thanks.

- 17:32:19

tina millard says

i agree with some of the people about having gluten free events near crondall farnham surrey so that i could attend them in the futurethank you

- 11:51:05

DS-glutenfree says

Hi everyone thank you for the food fair requests, when we know definate dates and locations we'll let you know. @Myra the pizza bases should be fine to eat definately not harmful :) however, we would advise you check for any signs of deterioration such as mould etc. just in case!
