2 OXFORD PLACE | REVIEW

This week my Mum and I ventured into Leeds to go and see the wonderful Wicked. The show has been touring around the country and I have loved it for absolutely ages; I can't count the amount of times my sister, Hannah and I have belted 'Defying Gravity'. In fact, when I was younger I aspired to be on stage but alas stage fright has got the better of me.

We had heard of this new gluten free place opening in Leeds and decided that 2 Oxford Place (located at it's namesake, just by the town hall) was going to be our place of choice. The interior of this place is just exquisite - it's like being taken back in time into a charming, wallpapered house. The staff were so friendly and asked us about being gluten free (I am, my mum isn't coeliac), why we were in Leeds and made sure we were fully accommodated. And that we most definitely were. I enjoyed (an understatement) a grilled cheese sandwich on white and it was just divine. Not only was the bread like glutened bread in taste and texture (it was so nice to eat bread that tasted like, well, bread!) it was so comforting to eat in a restaurant knowing  that there was no chance of cross contamination.Then, because we had to be on our way to the theatre, we took a lovely carrot cake muffin to much on on the train home. This was also scrumptious!

The food, atmosphere and staff were just lovely. Though it's quite pricey, this is explained by the food being more 'restaurant' than 'cafe'. I definitely will be paying them a visit soon; a perfect lunch for a perfect day.
