Fantastic burgers, rated "best ever" by my son (coeliac). Staff appear well educated around coeliac & cross contamination. Crispy chicken a must-try! Fries cooked in dedicated GF fryer. Friendly staff, cosy atmosphere... highly recommend.

Review
We’ve been to Joes Garage a few times and have always felt safe eating here. The gluten free options are marked on the menu and the staff are really knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions about what is coeliac safe. Last weekend the breakfast was safe & tasty as we have come to expect, we love have a safe option with reasonably priced options

Dedicated fryer for delicious French fries. Fresh and tasty food, including a great gf bun for hamburgers. A semi-hidden gem
Review
My celiac son wanted to post a review about this restaurant because he loved it so much. He liked the amount of gluten free food and the quality of it as well. He also liked how it was tucked away in a cosy spot.

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.

Review
Have been here several times had have no issues. The staff there are very knowledgeable, one is even a coeliac and said she always eats their food. They have a separate fryer for anything gluten free, but most of their fried food is gluten free by default. They are part of a chain and all of the locations I have been to are safe as well.
