Gluten-free catering has come a long way. It used to mean a separate option, kept apart from the main menu and often a little apologetic about it. Today, things look very different — and with the right products, offering something genuinely inclusive has never been easier.

More guests than you might think need gluten-free

Around one in 100 people in the UK has coeliac disease — a condition where a strict gluten-free diet isn’t a lifestyle choice, it’s a medical necessity. On top of that, a further 2.9 million people choose to avoid gluten for other health or lifestyle reasons. That’s a significant proportion of any guest list.

Add in the growing expectation that good menus simply cater for everyone — and it becomes clear that allergen-free options aren’t a niche add-on. They’re part of what thoughtful, professional catering looks like now.

Gluten-free doesn’t mean second best

One of the biggest shifts in recent years is quality. The gluten-free options of a few years ago could be, frankly, underwhelming — a compromise that guests would notice. That’s no longer the case.

Tipiak’s gluten-free macarons are made to exactly the same standard as our classic French pâtisserie — authentic recipes, made in France, in a dedicated gluten-free production area. The result is a macaron that looks beautiful, tastes delicious, and happens to be gluten-free. Your guests won’t feel like they’re settling for less. Because they’re not.

Practical for you, too

As well as being a great product for guests, our gluten-free macarons make life simpler in the kitchen. They’re supplied frozen and ready to thaw and serve — no preparation needed, no cross-contamination risks to manage, and consistent results every time. Each product comes with full allergen information, so front-of-house teams can answer guest questions with confidence.

Their bite-sized format works brilliantly across a wide range of occasions too — afternoon tea, dessert buffets, events, hospitality — and they’re versatile enough to be served individually or as part of a wider dessert offering.
