Dine Options is an independent blog about eating out with dietary needs. We welcome contributions from writers who can help our readers eat out with more confidence, whatever their diet.
What we cover
Our guides fall into these categories:
- Vegan and Vegetarian: ordering at mixed menus, hidden ingredients, plant-based eating.
- Gluten-Free: coeliac disease, labelling, cross-contamination and eating out safely.
- Food Allergies: talking to staff, allergen rules, travel and everyday planning.
- Halal and Kosher: religious dietary practice and how it shapes dining out.
- Low-Carb and Health: low-carb, diabetes-friendly and other health-led ways of eating.
- Lifestyle: everyday living, travel, hosting and the wider habits that go with how we eat.
- Leisure and Games: days out, entertainment, events and the food that goes with them.
What we look for
- Original work. Articles written for us and not published elsewhere.
- Usefulness. Practical guidance a reader can act on, not general filler.
- Accuracy. Facts, figures and rules supported by authoritative sources, with links to them.
- Care on health topics. No medical claims beyond what reliable sources say, and a reminder to follow professional advice where it matters.
- Readability. Plain, clear writing with short paragraphs and helpful headings.
- Honesty. No invented statistics, quotes, reviews or experiences presented as real.
How we work with contributors
Every submission is reviewed by our editorial team for usefulness, accuracy and fit with our readers. We may suggest edits or ask for sources before publishing. Contributed articles are covered by our Disclosure page.
Getting in touch
If you have an idea that fits, we would like to hear about it. A short outline or a few headline ideas is plenty to start the conversation.
