We rarely go out for a meal as there are 7 of us and money is very tight. I’ve been following Bicester Bean’s Facebook page for a while now and noticed that they did a sandwich special for a good price and the owner had told me that included gluten free, which I need because I have coeliac disease. We’ve had a nice day out today, so decided to end the day with a nice meal. We drove to Bicester Bean and got there at around 2:15pm. We were seated and given a couple of menus, no children’s menus though, even though we had our 3 and 5 year olds with us. I asked for a childrens menu and the waitress had asked us for the second time if we were ready to order. We were only then told by the owner that they weren’t able to make most of the menu items because there was only 2 of them. The cafe is open until 4pm everyday, but they told us really we’d need to get there by 2pm to be able to order what we wanted. They weren’t apologetic at all really, considering we had 5, very hungry and upset children with us. Our 3 year old was crying. We’ve had to drive down the road to McDonald’s, which will cost us a lot more! We will definitely NOT be returning....

We visited The Bicester Bean for breakfast and were seriously impressed — what a fantastic spot. The full breakfast we had was absolutely top-notch: sausage, egg, beans, hash browns, black pudding, toast, tea, and crispy bacon. Everything was freshly cooked, well-seasoned, and served piping hot — a proper feed that really sets you up for the day.
The portion size was generous without being overwhelming, and you could tell real care had gone into the quality of ingredients. The bacon was thick-cut and cooked just right, the eggs were perfectly done, and the black pudding added that traditional touch that you rarely get spot-on — but they nailed it.
Service was friendly and welcoming, and the place had a warm, relaxed atmosphere. It’s clear the team care about what they do, and it shows in both the food and the service.
If you’re in the Bicester area and love a good breakfast, The Bicester Bean is a must-visit. Great value, great quality, and just a great way to start the day. Highly...
Read moreI asked these lovely guys to cater for my retirement party. Everything exceeded my expectations by a country mile. We discussed dietary requirements, numbers, the type of things I wanted, what they needed me to do on the day. All was covered, all very professional. When they arrived, I was totally blown away with what they had done. The variety of things to choose from, too many to describe , good quality bread, the fillings. All absolutely delicious, & perfect for the occasion. I would think everyone went home full & happy, I certainly did. A huge thanks to Bicester Bean for pulling out...
