Review of Ipswich Ale Brewery

Very helpful waiter! I ordered the nachos and mentioned I had celiac and the waiter responded with a detailed response explaining the nachos were cooked in a shared fryer and could have cross contamination. The waiter then volunteered to check with the kitchen to see if the kitchen could bake them instead. When the waiter returned they reported that the kitchen had a “new” setup and used a dedicated gluten free fryer.

I mention this since a recent reviewer said there was no dedicated fryer. It’s possible this reviewer visited amid a kitchen reconfiguration since my waiter referred to it as “new”.

Given the attention paid by the waiter, I felt confident the kitchen was taking the precautions necessary. The nachos were fine (not enough chicken and too much pico) but I was grateful to eat out without anxiety and I had no reaction afterwards!

Also, their Sorghum-based gluten free beer is fantastic!
