Lovely setting with great gf options. I haven't had a burger for a very long time but the chicken schnitzel and bacon was delicious, although very indulgent. The crumbing was done in house in gf conditions.

This place is amazing! Not only do they have completely separate areas for celiac friendly gluten free cooking, but most of the menu have gluten free alternatives. The place itself is inviting and comfortable, and the staff and service is incredibly nice and helpful. I was so excited when I learnt I could have celiac friendly waffles! Five out of five stars :))))

I had calamari and chips! It was amazing, and I had no reaction. The calamari is made with gf flour & herbs, they have a separate fryer. The staff were very helpful, knowledgeable and happy to answer all my questions :)
