Anyone here with a food intolerance or allergy had issue with restaurants?

Indeed - they either don't take it seriously (if you have an allergy/intollerance), or the slightest hint that you may have .... they show you the door.
Some places (we have been to them) with a reasoned and calm approach, show the allergy charts without being asked and are pleasant to eat at. They are few and far between.

Just been to a vegetarian/vegan cafe - I was just passing it on my ride and the place I had wanted to go was closed

So - basically I just walked in and asked

They were wonderful - had several things I could eat (i.e. gluten free and no cheese) and were happy to point them out

even had GF rolls to go with the soup - OK it was Warbutons white rolls but I was just glad to get something!!
nice food as well - even have GF burgers and wraps and the like

It is nice to find such friendly clued up places!

There's a place in Bournemouth Square called " Vegevores " It's a really nice place to eat and very well presented with really clued up and friendly staff. A lot of the items on the sweeets menu are made in house. I ordered a slice of a sort of Portugese cheesecakey type which was pleasent enough but a bit stodgy ( I think it was semolina based ). When I went to pay the bill the waiter asked me what I'd thought of the pudding, and I said it was OK. He looked at me and raised an eyebrow, ever the diplomat I said " I've had better " to which he laughed and said " we won't be making that again "
Just a few doors away is a branch of the Ivy, I looked at the menu and there was quite a range of Veggie / vegan dishes on offer.
