BFree x Gluten Free Dinner Club Summer Social
A sunny rooftop in the heart of Shoreditch, a completely gluten-free menu, cocktails flowing, a DJ playing and a whole crowd of people who just get it…
Sounds pretty good, right?
On Saturday 2nd August we teamed up with the Gluten Free Dinner Club to give our community an afternoon dedicated to good food, new friends and, most importantly, being able to relax and enjoy yourself without giving gluten a second thought.
Guests were encouraged to come along solo, meet new people and enjoy a completely gluten-free menu, alongside cocktails, a DJ and plenty of summer sunshine.
A quick icebreaker got conversations flowing, introductions were made and in no time, 50 strangers were sitting around the rooftop chatting, laughing and making new gluten-free friends.
The reason behind it
The idea behind our Summer Social was simple, everyone deserves to feel normal when eating out.
For the gluten-free community, something as simple as meeting friends for food can come with a lot of extra thought. Researching menus beforehand, calling restaurants ahead, asking questions about cross-contamination or worrying about being seen as “difficult”.
We wanted to take all of that away for an afternoon. A place where you could simply turn up, order whatever you wanted and enjoy yourself without having to think twice about gluten.
So, for one sunny afternoon in London, that’s exactly what we created.
Of course, we couldn’t host a BFree Summer Social without plenty of good food!
BFree favourites featured throughout the menu, with our pittas served alongside halloumi, chorizo and plenty more.
What made the afternoon really special was seeing everyone enjoy themselves, make new friends and share the experience together. For us, that’s what BFree is all about. Great gluten-free food, good times and creating moments where gluten doesn’t need to be part of the conversation at all.
Missed this one?
We had such a brilliant afternoon with everyone who joined us in Shoreditch and absolutely loved working with Gluten Free Dinner Club to bring the day to life.
And we’re already thinking about what could come next…
