So I’ve tracked down the elusive gluten free pasty at Plymouth Green Grocer, now the next challenge was to find the mythical gluten free fry-up. In the days before coeliac I would meet my dad and head out for a boys catch-up over a fried breakfast about once a month. This is something we’ve really missed since my coeliac diagnosis. Dad has been good enough to cook a gluten free one on a few occasions, but it makes it a lot of work. My house is mainly vegetarian so I try to cook meat as little as possible. Recently I heard that Bistro One in Ebrington Street offered a “full-on scoff breakfast”, with a gluten free options, so we headed out to try it.
It was great to see a menu littered with GF symbols and the words gluten free. Stephen Barrett is a great host and made us very welcome and it was great to talk to him about his gluten free options. As well as breakfast there is a lunch and evening meal menu using great local produce, with lots of gluten free choice. Most dishes are naturally gluten free, and where possible Stephen uses polenta instead of wheat flour to ensure there is as much gluten free choice as possible. There are always at least two gluten free desserts offered too which is great to know.
The breakfast itself was delicious, the only thing that wasn’t gluten free was the grilled hogs pudding. I received extra bacon as a substitute which was fine by me. The sausages were delicious and I can see why they are said to be award winning. Dad and I both thoroughly enjoyed both the food and the surroundings and will definitely be back again soon.
There is currently a Bistro One Groupon deal that you can buy for the next couple of days: http://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/plymouth/bistro-one/9906308. I’ve taken advantage of this so will be going back to try an evening meal soon, which I’m very much looking forward to. Note there is construction work taking place in Ebrington Street at the moment, but Bistro One is open as normal.
