Being gluten free at Bicester Hotel, Golf and Spa in Oxford, UK was fantastic! I can’t say enough about the variety of options and quality of the gluten free items available. The resort manager told me that the demand for gluten free, vegan, vegetarian and allergy friendly food has been increasing in recent years. As a result, they have adapted their menus. Instead of trying to make second rate interpretations of favorites, they changed what they offer to items that are inherently fantastic without the less desirable ingredients. The manager himself even went on a vegan and gluten free diet so that he could better understand his guests' experience and needs. Now that's dedication to service!
The entire tower of goodies & sandwiches for afternoon tea was gluten free (see pic below)! Since we arrived a little late, they delivered it to our room along with sparkling wine. What a way to start our stay! The following morning, gluten free eggs Benedict! It was a fantastic gluten free hotel and room service experience. I never imagined that I’d be able to eat real English scones on my trip to England. I was so pleasantly surprised at how wonderful they were too! This trip inspired my recipes for English Scones and Tea Sandwiches. Now we can get the English experience without the flight across the pond;-)
The cocktails from the Portrait Bar and the spa was fantastic too!
