Fantastic gf food for anyone holidaying in Northumberland
Posted by gf mum on 9/8/2013, 20:38:50
Just returned from a self-catering holiday in Northumberland. This time we used a company called Food Heaven who provide food from local suppliers, rather than going to the supermarket.
They deliver all the food to your holiday cottage before you arrive, and even put it away in the fridge.
Although the website doesn't yet mention a lot of gluten-free, Alison, the lady in charge, understood all about gluten-free and went through everything we wanted to order to make sure that it was gluten-free. Since everything is from local suppliers and made to order, I found that nearly everything on their website could be done gluten-free.
We had all sorts of things from sausages, chutneys, jams, home-cooked meals (chicken hotpot, bolognese, shepherds pie), the best g-f pizzas I've tasted, burgers, ham. They provided a lovely g-f celebration cake for my 4 year old's birthday, and delicious puddings. As well as all the standard stuff like fruit and veg and milk and cheese etc. The prices were very reasonable, and the quality of everything was top-notch. The ready-cooked meals were very generous portions and were nothing like a supermarket ready meal - it was proper home-cooked quality.
It was fantastic - the easiest self-catering holiday I've had, really good, local food, without having to spend loads of time in the kitchen. I'll definitely be using them again, and wanted to let anyone else on holiday in the area know about it!
