Description
An historic hotel & restaurant in central Thame, the pretty
Oxfordshire village north of Reading.
We first heard about this hotel when they contacted us with
their National Vegetarian Week 2006 menu. Discussions with them
have shown they are open to ideas and versatile in their menus.
Don't be put off by their lack of mention of things veggie on
their website.
Vegan Options
Graham, the assistant manager, is really hot on ensuring the
vegetarian options are truly veggie, such as free range eggs and
non-animal rennet cheese. Plus there are even veggie options on the
kids menu. Graham is also keen on welcoming vegans. Not only do
they now have vegan options (yes, choice!) on their standard veggie
menu, but they also have our veganising
guide on their kitchen wall, so should be pretty versatile too!
Phone ahead if you'd like a vegan dessert as well.
When we organised a special T3V event here for a small group of
us (10), The Spread Eagle came up with a superb vegan buffet,
including spicey home made pizza with Cheezly & roasted
peppers, lentil patties, tofu salad, satay kebabs and lots more.
For dessert we had Summer pudding, vegan custard and tropical fruit
kebabs with dairy-free ice cream. Which all goes to show they are
not afraid of pulses and vegan dairy products! It was one of the
best meals we've had.
Other facilities
We are also encouraging good veggie and vegan options for
breakfast for guests, so watch this space for news on developments
on this. Soya milk is already always available.
The Spread Eagle has a wedding
licence for ceremonies, as well as banqueting and conference
facilities and outdoor spaces. The suites look lovely for a wedding
night!
It is currently the only place we know of in the region which is
veggie friendly with such facilities. Several years ago we attended
a friend's wedding in the golf club in Woodley, Reading, and
were served good vegan dishes there, though generally veggie food
at wedding venues is highly uninspired.
Their recent National Vegetarian Week menu is linked to
here.
