A Date With Thyme
Unit 6, Stonehenge Walk, Amesbury, Wiltshire SP4 7DR
At a glance
Family-run café and tea room on Stonehenge Walk in central Amesbury — a short drive from Salisbury and handy for Stonehenge visitors. Serves all-day breakfast and lunch, homemade cakes, teas and coffees.
Gluten-free options
A Date With Thyme offers a gluten-free Full English Breakfast with gluten-free bread and gluten-free sausages, a popular gluten-free Afternoon Tea (please give at least 2 hours' notice when booking), and around 60 per cent of their dishes can be made gluten-free by swapping in gluten-free alternatives. Gluten-free cakes and bakes are made fresh every other day, so there is usually a good selection on the counter.
Before you order
This is not a 100% gluten-free kitchen — gluten-containing ingredients are used — but the team takes cross-contact seriously. Single-use air-fryer paper inserts are kept exclusively for gluten-free orders, individual toaster bags are used for gluten-free bread, and gluten-free cakes are baked after the cafe closes using separate tins and utensils. Tell staff you are coeliac when you order so the right steps are taken.
Worth asking?
Which gluten-free cakes and bakes are available today? Can you confirm my order will be prepared separately with the air-fryer paper inserts and toaster bags you use for gluten-free orders? If you're planning the gluten-free Afternoon Tea, have you allowed at least 2 hours' notice when booking?
What this means for coeliacs
The kitchen is not entirely gluten-free — gluten-containing ingredients are used — but the team follows careful, specific steps for every gluten-free order: orders are prepared separately using fresh ingredients from newly opened packages; single-use paper inserts in the air fryer are kept exclusively for gluten-free items; individual toaster bags are used for gluten-free bread so it never touches regular bread or crumbs; and gluten-free cakes and bakes are prepared after the cafe closes, when the kitchen is clean, using separate baking tins and dedicated utensils. Coeliacs can eat here with the usual caution — let staff know you are coeliac when you order.
