Finding somewhere to eat our when you have coeliac disease or are following a gluten free diet can sometimes feel a little stressful. It can feel like a minefield, wondering if the food you’re eating is safe and questioning if the restaurant understands your needs and can correctly prevent cross-contamination.
You want great food, plenty of choice, and most importantly, a team who understands how important your dietary requirements are.
At The Firehouse in Enniskillen, we know that gluten free dining is not just a preference or a choice for many of our guests. For coeliacs, it is an essential medical necessity. That is why our team is always happy to talk through our menu, explain suitable options, and help you enjoy your meal with confidence.
Whether you are joining us for lunch, dinner, cocktails, or a relaxed catch-up with friends, here is what you need to know about gluten free dining at The Firehouse.
Gluten Free Dining in Enniskillen
If you’re searching for gluten free restaurants in Enniskillen, The Firehouse offers a welcoming setting in the heart of the town, with a menu that includes a range of fresh, flavour-packed dishes.
Our food is known for bold flavours, relaxed dining, and plenty of variety, from grill favourites and fresh salads to small plates, sides and mains. Many dishes can be adapted or discussed with our team, making it easier for gluten free guests to find something they can enjoy.
As menus and ingredients may change, we always recommend speaking to a member of staff when booking and again when ordering, so we can guide you through the most suitable options.
Is The Firehouse Suitable for Coeliacs?
The Firehouse team takes dietary requirements seriously and will always do their best to support coeliac and gluten free guests. If you are coeliac or gluten free, please let your server know when you arrive.
Our team can talk you through the menu, advise on gluten free options, and check with the kitchen where needed. This helps us make sure your order is handled with care and that you have the most up-to-date information about ingredients, preparation methods and any potential risks.
As with many busy restaurant kitchens, we cannot guarantee a completely gluten free environment, and there may be a risk of cross-contamination. However, we use separate equipment and utensils, including a separate fryer, for cooking gluten free meals.
What Gluten Free Options Are Available?
The Firehouse menu includes a variety of dishes, with options that may be suitable for guests following a gluten free diet. Depending on the current menu, this may include selected grill dishes, salads, sides, small plates or dishes that can be adapted.
On our menu, all items that are gluten free or can be adapted to be gluten free are marked with GF.
If you’re ever unsure, whether at The Firehouse or any other eatery, we recommend asking:
- Which dishes are gluten free?
- Can this dish be adapted?
- Are the sauces or dressings gluten free?
- Is this cooked separately?
- Is there any risk of cross-contamination?
Our team will be happy to check with the kitchen and help you choose the best option.
Why It Is Important to Tell Us Before Ordering
If you are coeliac, please do not rely on menu descriptions alone. Some dishes may appear gluten free but could include ingredients such as flour, soy sauce, breadcrumbs, beer-based marinades, stock, sauces or seasonings that contain gluten.
By telling your server that you are coeliac, rather than simply asking for gluten free, the team can better understand the level of care required.
This allows us to:
- Check ingredients properly
- Speak with the kitchen team
- Advise on preparation methods
- Highlight any potential cross-contamination risks
- Recommend the most suitable dishes available
We want every guest to feel looked after, and clear communication helps us do that.
Gluten Free Food Without Missing Out
Eating a gluten free diet should not mean missing out on good food. At The Firehouse, out focus is on fresh ingredients, bold flavours and relaxed dining, so gluten free guests can still enjoy a proper meal out with friends, family or colleagues.
Whether you are planning a casual lunch, a weekend dinner, a date night, or a group meal, our team will do their best to make your experience as easy and enjoyable as possible.
Gluten Free Breakfast Options in Enniskillen
If you are visiting Enniskillen for the day, staying overnight, or planning a weekend break in Fermanagh, finding a good gluten free breakfast can be just as important as finding somewhere for lunch or dinner.
For coeliacs, breakfast can be one of the trickier meals to navigate, as items such as toast, sausages, cereals, pancakes and fried foods can often contain gluten or be prepared using shared equipment. If you are dining out for breakfast in Enniskillen, it is always best to speak to the team before ordering and ask how gluten free items are prepared.
A few helpful questions to ask include:
- Is gluten free bread available?
- Is it toasted separately?
- Are the sausages, bacon, hash browns or breakfast items gluten free?
- Is there a separate fryer or grill space?
- Can the kitchen reduce the risk of cross-contamination?
- Are cereals, granola or porridge oats certified gluten free?
While options may vary from place to place, Enniskillen has a growing food scene, and many local cafés, restaurants and hotels are happy to advise guests with gluten free or coeliac requirements. Whether you are looking for a cooked breakfast, lighter brunch, coffee and something sweet, or food to take away, it is always worth calling ahead or speaking to the team when you arrive.

The Westville team can also talk guests through gluten free choices when dining in the hotel, including suitable dishes or items that may be adapted depending on the current menu.
