The experience here may have outweighed the food a bit but still pretty good food and a good amount of GF options. I had the lamb stew which was good but a little bland. Also brought me GF bread. Had a delicious GF chocolate brownie with ice cream for dessert. This place is very busy and for the best experience book a table. They have live music and dancing every night.

Had a seperate celiac menu with a nice selection to choose from. I went with chicken wings and fries, which was pretty good. Felt safe eating here, and the restaurant itself was really pretty

Ate here recently. Dedicated GF menu with a few options. Ordered the Beef burger & fries which was very average,the only positive was that it came on a GF bun. The brownie for desert was slightly better but still pretty average. They also had GF beer which was a nice change.

They have a special coeliac menu which was encouraging. I had a salad which was ok - not incredibly tasty but good.

Writing this from the bathroom floor :’). Waiter seemed knowledgeable, actually recommended the gf burger because he’s gluten free and has had it. First burger came out with an onion ring on it, and when I asked he said that he was not sure about the onion ring but the bun was definitely gf. He checked with the kitchen, the onion ring was (obviously) not gf. Took the burger to make a new one. New one came out with a completely different looking bun. He assured me this bun was gluten free despite me saying it was different from the last one - I should have trusted my instincts. Walking out, I realized that either everyone in the restaurant is gf, or I got the poison bun. Ate the entire thing so I can’t wait to see what my next few days look like. Don’t put your life in their hands.

I was overall pleased with the food options! They have a dedicated fryer. Staff seemed a little frazzled, so I would maybe go doing a less busy time. BUT, I believe I got glutened here because the hard cider that they offer called Rockshore is not celiac safe!!! I couldn’t find any ingredients online (weird) but one site indicated it contained malt.

My daughter is ceoliac, so to be able to select around 75% of the menu being GF, and all burgers being available as GF was very good. Would return and recommend

Coeliac menu available and allergens clearly marked. I was ordering off of the Coeliac menu and ordered one type of salad, then my server came back and told me it was actually not gf, so I’m happy that she caught that for me. I then ordered the prawns and it came out with bread on top. When I double checked with server, she said they gave me the regular meal, not the gf meal. She took it and brought back the correct meal, with gf bread on top. However, I am Coeliac and was sick later that night and all of the next morning/day.
