Startle

The Fearrington House Restaurant offers plenty of gluten-free and allergy-sensitive options, though you won’t find these designated on the nightly menu. Chef Colin Bedford can shape his entrées to fit any dietary restrictions; of course, you need to let him know ahead of time. Though the kitchen can accommodate gluten-free diets as well as allergy-sensitive diners, try to give advanced notice when you make the reservation. Even on an average night, though, the menu is likely to offering some reprieve for those with restrictions. On a recent dinner menu, for example, a quick scan revealed at least a few gluten-free dishes. If you aim for ethical eating, you can dine worry-free; the chef only serves non-endangered seafood from sustainable sources.
