\"Rose&Crown-A<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is it worth a trip to Epcot’s Rose and Crown<\/a> if you can’t eat gluten? I recently went and tried their famous Fish and Chips, sans gluten. Would I do it again? Read on to find out.<\/p>\n

I had the pleasure of being at Epcot for the Princess Half Marathon Race Weekend<\/a> in February. What a complete joy it was to see the sun in full force coming from the northeast where we have had a typical winter. As an added bonus it was during the Epcot Festival of the Arts<\/a> too!<\/p>\n

I ran the 10K this same morning, and so by this particular afternoon I was very hungry and felt fully justified in eating whatever I wanted. I had an Advance Dining Reservation for Rose and Crown.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Rose<\/p>\n

Below is a look at the allergen menu. I don’t know about those of you that have to follow a strict gluten free diet, but I feel the need to compare the full menu with the gluten free menu. Partly for some morbid sense of seeing what I can’t have any longer, but also to try and figure out what the gluten culprits are for my own education and knowledge.<\/p>\n

If you have read my other “gluten free” blogs, you know that I totally understand that it is my problem and I am truly thankful for the efforts that restaurants, especially in Disney, make to ensure that people with food allergies are safe and have options. With that being said, I wasn’t really a huge fan of the gluten free options I was offered at Rose and Crown on the menu. Many normal menu items are beer-battered and I understand that is important at an English Pub, but I do not think it should be a big deal to make the Shepherds Pie gluten-free. I do not see any beer-battered leeks or anything like that as part of the description, so I have to assume they must use flour with the beef or something. That could be an easy and inexpensive switch to cornstarch or a gluten free blend flour so all could enjoy it, but I digress.\u00a0 I could swear I had the Shepherd’s Pie as a gluten free option in the past here. Except for Corned Beef there were no other beef options to choose from on the allergen menu.<\/p>\n

We had a wonderful waiter (Mike from Scotland) who offered to bring out a chef. I’m sure the chef would have made me something special, but I wanted to stick to the allergen menu to make it easier for all involved.\u00a0 I also don’t like to hold up the whole production asking a million questions.\u00a0I decided I would start with the Coronation Salad followed by the Baked Fish and Chips.<\/p>\n

Secretly, I was very disappointed that I could not get a Scotch Egg as my appetizer. I suppose I could’ve spoken to a chef to see if they could modify one, but decided to just get the Coronation Salad as my appetizer.\u00a0 As I mentioned in my comparison of the menus above, I can only guess that the sausage must be the gluten culprit with the Scotch Egg, because I did not have Bangers and Mash as an option either and the other items that come with either the Scotch Egg or Bangers and Mash do not normally contain gluten.\u00a0 I just did not want to take the extra time to ask so many questions this particular visit, so I stuck with the items on the allergen menu.<\/p>\n

I washed everything down with:<\/p>\n

Red Sangria –<\/strong>Beso Del Sol Red Sangria made from a 100% natural marriage of Spanish Tempranillo Grapes, Orange, Blood Orange, and Lemon Juices with a touch of natural Cinnamon<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Coronation Salad was fresh and tasty. The Apple- Madras Yogurt dressing was a nice touch. It also had some golden raisins added which gave it a bit of sweetness.<\/p>\n

Prior to knowing I had Celiac and could no longer eat wheat, barley or rye, I did eat the Fish and Chips here in their full beer- battered glory, so I have a sense of what they tasted like in my head. When they delivered the gluten free version of the fish and chips, I was going to try not to make a mental comparison. The days of beer-battered deliciousness are over for me and I just have to face that.\u00a0 The Baked Fish and Chips were NOT bad. The chips were delicious. The fish was good. It was a little oily, but I expected and even welcomed that. It was well seasoned with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n

It was a risk to try and eat a gluten free meal at a place that touts beer-battered items. “Beer” and “Battered” are no longer things I can enjoy, but for the sake of the other’s in my party, as well as the atmosphere I wanted to enjoy a meal here. Our waiter was spectacular and service was great.<\/p>\n

I did have a good meal. I probably will not rush to make another dining reservation here again simply because of the limited options, but I’m not sorry I went this time!<\/p>\n
