Great GF options! Safe place to eat. Although one time I ordered a burger that should have come with an onion ring on, and was not corrected that this was not GF friendly, so my burger came without it on.

Very clued up place. Was sat near the kitchen and could see the table board had our table with a gf symbol beside it. Servers very helpful with what i could and could not have and chips available with a separate frier. Vegan cheese available and a vegan gf burger. There is hope in the world when you are gf and avoid cheese! Trash browns portion was huge and delicious Estrella galicia gf beer available Bun was small but tasty with the vegan burger and the fries very tasty I will be back. Was never made to feel like i was different or difficult, nothing was a bother and the staff fantastic Website is terrible and makes it look like its impossible to eat here but its not.

Fantastic service! They have a really good understanding of the problems with cross contamination and cleaned the kitchen space before preparing the gf burger. The burger was the best I had in years. Highly recommended!

People were great, asked straight off if had allergy and menu was explained by the manager. Food was great and all burgers could be done gluten free. However…. I ordered the fat hippo burger gluten free,and got glutened, but not too severely.

Best guess… the burger came without onions rings and with a gluten free bun, đź‘Ť but the chorizo was probably not gluten free, just can’t think what else it might have been that…

Not as bad an attack as usual and food was still lovely for me and my friends, so still very much recommend - just maybe stay clear of chorizo…

Service was amazing. As soon as I got there I was asked if there were any allergies then one seated was diected to roughly half the menu that could be done gluten free. I ordered the tater tots and american burger, which were both great!

Service was excellent, the greeter asked upon arrival if we had any allergies and then talked me through what I could have on the menu. They have a lot to choose from as most of the menu is gluten free. They also have a dedicated gluten free fryer, so I felt very safe and welcome.
