The batter for the fried fish has flour in it, but you can have the fish grilled, and there is a gluten free fryer for the chips.

Loved being able to have fish and chips for the first time since being diagnosed six months ago!

Seperate fryer so can do chips and kumara chips, and grilled the fish for me.

They seemed quite comfortable with the request and I didn’t get sick at all. And it was delish!!

Sign saying cross contamination possible and counter staff saying it wasn’t recommended to order GF if you’re coeliac. Seems to have gone downhill since previous reviews.

Excellent service and plenty of GF options.

Chips were cooked separately, fish could have been pan fried if requested, in the end we went for GF burgers.

The GF chips and burgers were wrapped individually and served apart for the other part of our order.

Knowledgeable staff and coeliac options. Will visit again…

Had a seperate Frier. All the family able to order something they wanted and I got to order something g f which was hot dog and chips. I didn’t go for the grilled fish option as I wanted grease. Was nice to sit down with family and friends and enjoy a meal together outside at the long table. Great chips.

The gf fish was only available unbattered and pan fried when I visited, I’m not sure if this is usually the case or they were just particularly busy. The hotdog and kumara chips that I had were as expected, though it is pricey compared to most shops.
