EXMOUTH'S Coeliac UK Voluntary Support Group celebrated the festive season by tucking into a gluten-free Christmas lunch at Otter Nurseries garden centre.

An Exmouth Coeliac group spokesperson said: "The staff at Otter Nurseries provided an excellent meal and ensured that all the products were gluten free and locally sourced.

"A person with coeliac disease needs to follow a life long gluten free diet, so eating out can often be a problem for them.

"The lunch was enjoyed by all and we are sure this will become a popular annual event."
