Joe's garage is very coeliac aware with lots of precautions in place and staff are knowledgeable. I was served before by a lady who's siblings had coeliac so I felt very safe. Dedicated fryer, gf pizza bases, burger buns etc. Lots of gf on the menu.

Went there with my family for lunch. Was pretty quiet. I was clear and specific about coeliac requirements when ordering and the server was very thorough with her notes for the kitchen. We ordered 3 salads and a hot dish and waited over an hour for them to arrive. When I noticed that both tables either side of us had received their meals despite arriving after us I asked the server when we could expect our food and, after conferring with the kitchen, she told us it was a few minutes away. (I generally don't mind waiting a bit longer for food as I understand that the kitchen staff may be waiting to be able to clear surfaces to prep as coeliac safely as possible.) My mother initially ordered a salad with halloumi and was told 30 minutes after ordering that there was no more halloumi so to choose something else. She selected salmon. When our food arrived my partner's salmon salad came but my mother was told that there was no more salmon and that she could choose something else, again. She selected chicken. When my salad arrived (I'd ordered Caesar salad, no croutons, coeliac, gf) it looked amazing and I was excited to try it... Until I saw the croutons scattered through the salad underneath the egg and chicken. By this point I no longer felt safe to eat there so we left. Very unsafe food practices and a terrible experience for what looked as if it would have been delicious.

Very understanding waitress confirmed fryer is dedicated gluten free and confirmed with chef that includes fried chicken and gravy.

Only reason I didn’t give full hearts safety rating is they are not dedicated gf but on the other hand they are not throwing pizza dough around….

Had lunch at Joe’s and it was a great experience. There were many options that were gluten free. They could also adapt most meals to be dairy free. No gluten goes in their fryer and they are aware of cross contamination. It was delicious and I would recommend going there.

Great experience at Joe's! Have been twice in the last week. Staff were incredibly nice, attentive and knowledgeable. Went with my vegan sister who was impressed with their readiness to alter things for her to make them suitable. The fryer is dedicated gluten free as there is nothing deep fried on the menu containing gluten- all meat/nibbles etc. have gluten free crumb. Great selection, yum food, reasonable prices and absolute superstar staff!!!

Had dinner - server checked with chief about GF items. No seperate frier, but hamburgers and pizza GF. Food tasty but after being told that the fries were not GF we were surprised to find fries with our GF burger when we got back to hotel. I called them back and there were very apologetic, I picked up another burger from them and they took my name to arrange some sort of refund. Would go back.

I ordered a gluten free fried chicken burger (gluten free fried chicken!). Was asked if I was coeliac and when I said yes, was reassured the fryers are totally gluten free without having to ask.

The JFC fried chicken was incredible!

Was told they use gluten free gravy, soy sauce and gluten free Worcestershire sauce too, so when we come back next time can have pretty much anything on the menu. Impressed

Had a great fried chicken burger here. I was told that there were only 3 coeliac friendly options on the menu that I could choose from- the fried chicken burger, fried chicken pieces and chips. Fairly limiting, but I appreciate them being upfront and understanding of cross contamination. It was delicious.

I got contaminated here. I was assured my meal would be safe but I was incredibly unwell afterwards. I’ve eaten at other Joes Garages and been fine. Take precaution if going to this one.

Very knowledgeable staff, the food is absolutely delicious! Don’t go past the fried chicken, heaven on earth!
