Bicester Bean

We rarely go out for a meal as there are 7 of us and money is very tight. I’ve been following Bicester Bean’s Facebook page for a while now and noticed that they did a sandwich special for a good price and the owner had told me that included gluten free, which I need because I have coeliac disease. We’ve had a nice day out today, so decided to end the day with a nice meal. We drove to Bicester Bean and got there at around 2:15pm. We were seated and given a couple of menus, no children’s menus though, even though we had our 3 and 5 year olds with us. I asked for a childrens menu and the waitress had asked us for the second time if we were ready to order. We were only then told by the owner that they weren’t able to make most of the menu items because there was only 2 of them. The cafe is open until 4pm everyday, but they told us really we’d need to get there by 2pm to be able to order what we wanted. They weren’t apologetic at all really, considering we had 5, very hungry and upset children with us. Our 3 year old was crying. We’ve had to drive down the road to McDonald’s, which will cost us a lot more! We will definitely NOT be returning. Absolutely awful!

Excellent afternoon tea, including a gluten free option for my friend!
