Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots for Outdoor Dining in Oxford

Sarah Macneil

Very helpful and friendly staff. Very wide range of gluten free breakfasts - thank you!

Katherine Schutte

Delicious gluten free pizza! This has to be one of the best gluten free pizzas I've had in the UK. The dough/ pizza base is so soft and flavourful. The texture was amazing! I loved my vegetarian pizza, generously topped with olives, onions, peppers, and tomato. 10/10 recommend if you are gluten free! Just be aware that they charge an additional fee for a gluten free base.

We went here for a late lunch and everything was absolutely amazing ❤️ we’re gluten-free lactose intolerant and vegan and this place dealt with it so well!! Most of thier menu is available with a gluten free alternative and the waitress was so lovely and understanding with allergies! Plus the desserts are to die for you can’t even tell that they’re gluten free/vegan. It’s definitely the place to go too with allergies or not. Also the service alone was phenomenal ❤️❤️ they really went the extra mile and were so so friendly. Will for sure be bringing everyone I know :)

Paige O'Rourke

The food at Pho is always amazing! I am a Coeliac and this is the one place I feel 100% safe! The staff are very knowledgeable about the food and the atmosphere is always a vibe! Our servers, Rebecca and Ranjeet were also very nice!

Jacqueline Pickford

Second visit disappointing. My daughter ordered a gluten free toasted sandwich and I ordered a quesadilla, both containing chicken. The chicken was extremely dry and chewy. Thought we’d found a gem after first visit but probably won’t return.

Don R Campbell

Excellent Gluten free pies and gravy, YES PLEASE! Not just a gluten-free option, there were multiple GF options. Best part, it was excellent. Some obvious thought was put into their development. A simple lunch that provided a simple pleasure. Will definitely be back.

We visited Browns Oxford on Christmas Eve at 6.30pm and ate from the a la carte menu. There was a disappointingly limited choice of main courses. Overall, the service was good, but the quality of food wasn't particularly great. We have eaten at this restaurant before and choose it for its gluten free (gf) options because my 16 year old son is coeliac. His 'medium rare' steak was served without any browning/caramelisation on the outside, leaving it looking quite grey and unappetising in appearance. The other main courses (chicken schnitzel, ribeye steak, mushroom and halloumi burger) were not much more enticing or flavoursome.

A busy bustling cafe where you're likely to trip over the staff on the stairs, ehichmight help explain why service speed was ..... sedate. However, they are very on the ball about what is in their dishes it's why once was served and was able to ask about dishes without garlic they got back to me fairly promptly with an apologetic No. After suggesting that maybe they cancel the drink order then and we'd move on the proprietor came over and checked what I could eat and sorted out a plate of tasy gluten and garlic free food, and you can't complain about that, especially when not charged for it too. M9nd you I never did get the lemonade I'd ordered. So the little negatives are outweighed by generous portions, and friendly, knowledgeable staff in a comfortable environment. Would go again.

Cat Child

Went for dinner with a friend and had a great experience. Staff were helpful with allergy information, they had lots gluten free options and the gluten free pizza was very very good.

Amika Mcculloch

Matilda was attentive and great for allergies and gluten free

J

Delicious pasta neopoltana, excellent gluten free pizza. Nice restaurant, especially table 14for 2.

Karen Bawn

Fantastic gluten free options, service and atmosphere perfect.

Louie Hext

Cute little cafe with a great selection of unique baked goods. I always enjoy their cakes. They often have a varied selection, not just standard chocolate and carrot cakes. They're always moist and flavourful. Service is quick. It's quite small and busy but they do take away as well. Good selection of vegan and gluten free options also

Stephen Spain

Lovely gluten free treats and great coffee.

sandra dodds

Staying in Oxford this week, we came across this fabulous restaurant. Decor lovely. Staff were amazing & so helpful with my gluten free requirements. Food excellent. Will def visit again when next in Oxford & would recommend.

Markus Lövgren

Lovely place with great food and service. Had several gluten free options.

Michael Kosmiker

Lovely, vegan & glutenfree. Super service aswell!

Emelia B

INCORRECT ALLERGEN INFO They have allergy labels for their cakes but when I asked to check that a cake labelled gluten free was safe for me, I was told it contained flour and also egg which also wasn’t on the allergy label. Clearly they knew their allergen sign was incorrect but hadn’t bothered to fix it. I told him to correct it and he didn’t bother. Someone could die

Donna Di Rienzo

I visited Dirty Bones after coming for a works do and I was not disappointed! The service was impeccable and given I had a gluten allergy, everyone was very helpful and accommodating with the menu options. I felt very comfortable and was even able to have a burger with an amazing gf brioche bun! I highly recommend the tater tots (they were also gf). Also a massive thanks to our server Olivia who was so friendly! Will definitely be coming back!

Jane N

Great food though pricy. Make a reservation because it’s always busy. They have a menu indicating gluten free, nut free, dairy free - just ask for it. Service could be either great or meh.

Kayla B. Schulte

Love this spot. They don’t always have gluten free pizza bases which is kind of upsetting, and they seem to have switched where they get their chicken for the chicken wings (poorer quality). Aside from the food, lovely ambience & great service!

Elizabeth Walkup

As with many Greene King pubs, the gluten-free choices here are fairly good. My burger with cheddar on a GF bun was excellent, and the outdoor space really delightful to spend time in.

Laura Lewis

Went for brunch yesterday and we were asked if we had any allergies, I said yes gluten and we were shown to our table and the waiter asked if it was me with the gluten allergy, I said yes and he nodded then left us with 4 menus. There is no information on the menu about what can be adjusted to be gluten free. After about 10 mins another waiter came over to take our drink order and I said that I had said I had a gluten allergy but then hadn’t had any information on what I could have and he said to wait a minute and left (without taking the drink order) and then a manager came over to tell us that bread or pancakes could be made gluten free but there was a risk of cross contamination due to the kitchen, pretty standard even though it’s annoying. The food was very good once we sorted what I could have but the coffees were tiny! We ordered lattes and the came in mugs not much bigger than an espresso mug! Not work the cost. Overall I would come back but staff should be more forthcoming with information on allergies and how people then need to order etc.

Joel did the best he could, catering to coeliac disease. It was appreciated

AM B

We came across this restaurant by chance while on a day trip to Oxford. We were attracted by its menu, inviting decor and size. We returned with our friend for lunch and enjoyed the mixed grill, Lamb Shwarma and grilled lamb chops with a very good bottle of Lebanese red and Lebanese coffee to finish. Good portions and well presented dishes. Excellent choice of vegetarian and mezze and also plenty of gluten-free options. We thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful homemade food, excellent service and welcoming atmosphere. We look forward to our return.

Kate Green

Gorgeous place, yummy food and lovely staff. Gluten free options available! Would highly recommend

Elizabeth Walkup

Had a lovely meal here with plenty of gluten-free choices. Of particular note was the presence of nice fish offerings and a decent fixed price menu. It's officially "French food", but definitely on both the "rustic" and "British interpretation" side of that. Still, a lovely meal, and the kind of place I wish I could walk to from my home.

Daniel Avery

Delicious food, friendly service, super good for coeliac sufferers. I've eaten here multiple times having both battered food and beer without ever getting ill. The gluten free food is excellent, the staff are well informed about allergy issues and take them seriously. Much better than some Oxford restaurants which cost three times as much and have absolutely poisoned me.

James Brown

Absolutely brilliant crepe breakfast. I am also sure these are the best milkshakes in the area. The buckwheat gluten free option is working well. My brother in law is gluten intolerant and was amazed by the options on the menu. He could join in with the crepe experience and it made our day. Thank you

Jade Conran

As someone who can't eat gluten, I was very disappointed with my food experience. All meat substitutes used contain gluten meaning fries could only be ordered with lots of veg on. As this wasn't my cup of tea the only option was a Greek salad which I was assured by the staff that people struggle to finish due to size. Sadly when it arrived it was a standard size and after an easy finish of the dish I was left still pretty hungry. For £12.95 ( overpriced for some leaves feta, onion and olives) definitely not worth it!! Lovely vibe and feel of the place but the food really let it down for me.

Linda Williams

Great fresh food, tasty and delicious. Gluten free catered for nicely.

Chris BM

Had trouble believing the gluten free bread was actually gluten free as it was so good!!! Good selection of coeliac friendly dishes available. Staff are excellent, friendly and well informed.

Anna Hepworth

The food was good but I felt overpriced for what it was- best part of £7 for a single ball of sorbet is just a rip off. I am fully aware they are probably trying to recover from covid and the energy crisis etc which puts costs up that have to be passed onto the customer, but regardless I feel there are other places doing equally as good food for less. However staff were fantastic and accommodated my dairy and gluten free food requests.

Deirdre Barry

The hot chocolate is great! Good selection of gluten free cakes (which is pretty unusual and very much appreciated by my daughter who has coeliac disease). Lovely ice cream. Quite pricey but nice as a treat. Family friendly.

Kelly Earl

The Butler

Great food, partner is celiac and got a burrito bowl and it was great. Only small issue is on eof the staff didn't see very sure about allergens and said the cheese was not gluten free and questioned the sour cream. But another staff told him it was all gluten free apart from the burritos wraps themselves. Possibly some additional training needed there.

Carol Mitchell

It was my husband's birthday lunch. A very good meal with excellent staff. I am gluten free and there were plenty of options.

Jo Blom

The Buda bowl was delicious, vegetable curry was fine but nothing special. Cinnamon buns and Gluten free lemon & blueberry cake were all very good - as were the coffees. It would have been very interesting to get to know more fully about how 'Waste2Taste' actually works.

Marie Andrieux

Typical pub for a great evening in Oxford. Games are available and it is possible to eat gluten-free with a real choice of dishes. We recommend this pub

Sarah Freia

A standout speciality café in Oxford. Excellent espresso based drinks, that never disappoint. There is also an impressive selection of treats! I'm happy to report there are options safe for those who are gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan. Lovely all around!

Jonathan Myers

Great for a pint and a pizza (gluten free too), although service cancelled be a bit slow.

Nox Walpurgis

Arrived to something of a lingering smell of paint, which was surprising given that the place is decked out in that hipster "we didn't bother to finish this building" sort of decor with bare walls and exposed air ducts overhead. Towards the end of our meal we were treated to a blast of some sort of strong solvent-like smell which made me feel somewhat dizzy. Not exactly an enjoyable dining experience. As for the fare, the milkshake was alright, but little better than those of fast food joints. They did meet my exacting burger order, though it wasn't anything to rave about. My gluten-intolerant friend not wishing to pay an extra premium for a bun they could actually eat opted to have a salad instead, but this seemed little different to a typical supermarket bagged salad with a generic dressing added. In all the food was alright but not worth the sorts of prices being asked here. Even assuming the strange smells were a temporary problem I have little interest in returning.

Eva Altmann

I have never written a google review but this place is fantastic, so I had to. The food is excellent, the scrambled eggs are creamy, the chai latte is the best I ever had (seriously). They have gluten-free and vegan options, as well as gluten-free, vegan options.

Hayley Coles

Great gluten free menu! Family friendly

Mauricia Serrana

Best gluten free pizza . Also huge gluten free cake options. Great service and atmosphere.

Amy McCall

delicious tasting menu that can be adapted to be gluten free (safe for celiac / coeliac), and lovely wine pairings. very friendly and professional service in a lovely setting!

Marcin Tomala

Best place in Oxford for people with gluten and dairy problems. Menu fabulous, staff friendly and athmosfere

Kshitij Mohan

A lovely bar for Paella and Tapas in the middle of Oxford city, I would recommend it for everyone who already likes Spanish food, or wants to try some Spanish dishes. The ambience at Al-Andalus is lovely and the service was excellent. We tried two Hot Tapas dishes - 1. Chicken with chorizo and chilli, 2. Spicy king prawn in olive oil & garlic, and would definitely recommend these to you. The Patatas bravas (potato cubes with chilly-tomato sauce and garlic mayonnaise) is also amazing, and would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Al-Andalus. PS - Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options are also available.

James Davis

Really great for gluten free. The waitress at the end of the night (apologies, can’t remember her name) got the gluten free menu up on her phone as I had no internet connection. Great for Coeliacs, would recommend.
