I came here with my boyfriend with alot of excitement as I have never had the chance to eat GF fish and chips before! However, a few hours later I had one of the worst reactions I have ever had. I would not recommend you go here AT ALL

Yes it was GF but the food was not good at all. Frozen weird tasting chips, and I think it was a piece of frozen pollock rather than the ‘cod’ advertised. Worst fish and chips I’ve ever had! Think many of the five star reviews on Google are paid for. Overpriced and poor quality.

Excellent. The man who served us knew exactly what coeliac was and even moved a bottle of normal vinegar away as it “has barley”. Food was brilliant too.

Absolutely fantastic place, would highly recommend, my friend is celiac and hasn’t had fish n chips from a chippy for 7 years! The owner put her mind at rest by showing us the separate fryers used for gluten free and the taste was incredible!!
