Always helpful staff and never had an issue with any gluten free food.

Only place we usually eat in when we are in town due to the GF options

Do not trust the gluten free labelling! I chose the beef chilli (labelled gf) and told my waitress I was coeliac - she then came back and told me that the beef chilli contained barley (and is therefore not gluten free). I asked to see the allergen information - 3 out of 5 of the ‘gluten free main meals’ actually contained gluten according to the allergen information and are therefore not safe. They did offer gluten free bread but I wasn’t confident about cross contamination, so ended up with a jacket potato. Very disappointed :(
