Selfridges gluten free – sweet & savoury in the Food Hall
Gluten free at Selfridges, London
I was surprised and delighted to find a very good range of gluten free goodies at Selfridges Food Hall. As Oxford Street mainly has small branches of supermarkets, finding ‘free from’ food in this area is fairly restricted. This would be perfect for people working in the area, or for London tourists to pick up a cake for afternoon tea, or if self-catering, a pie or fresh pasta for dinner. You pay a premium at Selfridges, but there are some real treats to be found!

The gluten free food is in several sections so make sure you have a good look around – there are shelves, tables in corridors and refrigerated sections.
You will find a range of suppliers and they do change from time to time, but below lists some of what you are likely to find.
Many of the cakes and biscuits are from Peace of Cake, which are all gluten and dairy free. There are several varieties of boxed biscuits from Kent and Fraser. You will also find gluten free and vegan donuts from Borough 22.
Also have a look at cake mixes – I’ve seen American branded ones in the USA section. Selfridges used to stock Dietary Specials (long life bread rolls, biscuits) and Orgran (bread, biscuits, cake mixes) but these had disappeared last time I visited.
For savoury items you will find a selection of gluten free quiches, pizza and fresh pastas (filled and plain). There are a variety of stockists, including Elvira’s Secret Pantry, Atlantic Kitchen and B-Tempted.
You will also find a number of these suppliers at markets around London. If you have gluten eaters with you, there are many other options, plus they have some international food – a reasonable USA section and they sometimes have Australian Tim Tams.
There are some other concession stalls within the Food Hall that may have gluten free options. Lola’s Cupcakes is now Coeliac UK accredited and have boxed gluten free cupcakes. I believe they are vegan too (or have vegan options).
Yo Sushi! have gluten free options and also have plenty of seating.
There are other restaurants and bars within Selfridges, so there are options for a sit down meal. I recommend 100% gluten free Hemsley & Hemsley on level 3 or Masala Zone on level 4.
While you are in the area, don’t forget to check out M&S Food in the basement of the Marks & Spencer just over the road.
