Marks And Spencer’s Gluten Free Food In Stations

I regularly travel by train and visit stations, outside of my normal patch of London. Once away from the capital, often the only substantial food I can get as I pass through the station are Marks and Spencer’s gluten-free sandwiches, a drink and perhaps some fruit.

At some stations, you can rely on gluten-free sandwiches being available most of the time. In this group would be.

Birmingham New Street, Cambridge, Liverpool Lime Street, Manchester Piccadilly, Oxford and Reading

Then there are important interchange stations, where possibly unless you’re there before nine, there’s never any gluten-free sandwiches.

Cardiff, Edinburgh, Sheffield and Newcastle

The worst major station for gluten-free food is Nottingham. The food shop is a Morrison’s, which I’ve never used. To get any gluten-free food you need to go to the city centre, which is a long walk or a return on the tram.

Other stations to avoid if you’re a coeliac like me, are Blackpool, Derby, Doncaster, Huddersfield, Ipswich, Norwich, Middlesbrough and Preston.

The last two are places where it is very difficult to buy any gluten-free food at all.

  1. Morrisons have just started offering GF sandwiches and wraps, and by all accounts they are excellent. Plan to try one next time I am there. There own brand GF stuff in the store is good quality too.
