Had a great family lunch here, they have a separate fryer. The fried chicken was delicious and great friendly service from everyone, from the waitress, barista and manager.

We just had the best experience at Joe’s Garage in Silverdale, my kids have coeliac disease and the awesome staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was super safe, totally gluten free fryers, gluten free burger cooked separately and the JFC (Joe’s fried Chicken was amazing!! (And also gluten free). The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was awesome, it’s such a cool place and seeing the smiles from the kids and the continuous, ‘oh Mum this is soooo good’ just made it even better!!

Have been here several times had have no issues. The staff there are very knowledgeable, one is even a coeliac and said she always eats their food. They have a separate fryer for anything gluten free, but most of their fried food is gluten free by default. They are part of a chain and all of the locations I have been to are safe as well.

Fantastic burgers, rated "best ever" by my son (coeliac). Staff appear well educated around coeliac & cross contamination. Crispy chicken a must-try! Fries cooked in dedicated GF fryer. Friendly staff, cosy atmosphere... highly recommend.

Went there with my family for lunch. Was pretty quiet. I was clear and specific about coeliac requirements when ordering and the server was very thorough with her notes for the kitchen. We ordered 3 salads and a hot dish and waited over an hour for them to arrive. When I noticed that both tables either side of us had received their meals despite arriving after us I asked the server when we could expect our food and, after conferring with the kitchen, she told us it was a few minutes away. (I generally don't mind waiting a bit longer for food as I understand that the kitchen staff may be waiting to be able to clear surfaces to prep as coeliac safely as possible.) My mother initially ordered a salad with halloumi and was told 30 minutes after ordering that there was no more halloumi so to choose something else. She selected salmon. When our food arrived my partner's salmon salad came but my mother was told that there was no more salmon and that she could choose something else, again. She selected chicken. When my salad arrived (I'd ordered Caesar salad, no croutons, coeliac, gf) it looked amazing and I was excited to try it... Until I saw the croutons scattered through the salad underneath the egg and chicken. By this point I no longer felt safe to eat there so we left. Very unsafe food practices and a terrible experience for what looked as if it would have been delicious.
