In a word fab. Loads of GF options available every day. Really good quality and our whole family enjoyed together. Would recommend ordering in advance as can get very (very) busy. Finally GF all bagged separately and sealed with a GF label.

Very disappointed with my visit today, although the food always tastes good i have zero confieldence in the food being prepared correctly

Huge cross contamination putting gluten free cobs on the grill in the same place at normal break without cleaning! Not washing hands between gluten free and normal orders as I clearly watched! Not happy at all as I've used them for 2.5 years

**First time customer**

Many times I have driven to cleethorpes for gluten free curry sauce and today I was going to do the same, then my wife found the jolly fryer with a huge host of gluten free items including curry sauce 😀

The shop was easy to find and parking can be tricky but I managed to park outside.

The shop was large and very clean ... like very clean! The staff looked clean presentable ...nothing worse than walking in to a food establishment and seeing someone who looks scruffy! The owner (Mr jolly ill get on to him later) really has put the effort in to this chippy and it shows

The food .... I ordered 1 large gluten free sausage 1 large gluten free cod, gluten free curry sauce and chips

The chips wasn't bad .. Nice crisp outer and soft inner they wasn't dripping with oil and nice and dry didn't stick to the box or paper... the only way the chips could be better if they was fried in dripping (my personal choice)

The sausage was a standard chippy sausage not over cooked or dry and was decent 👌

The gluten free cod

A nice crisp fish batter not to hard and not mushy, the fish was lightly battered and was perfect ... nothing worse than having fish caked in 4mm of batter.

The curry sauce

A very tasty gluten free curry sauce the viscosity was perfect and wasn't lumpy it was nice and smooth just like the other chippy I use in cleethorpes. Even if you don't have ceoliac disease or a gluten intolerance PLEASE TRY THE GLUTEN FREE CURRY SAUCE!!!!

The owner aka... ( MR JOLLY )

You can tell he has put his heart in to this place and it shows a very clean and well equipped chippy that put the effort in so everyone can eat hear! Good attention to detail and he take pride in his work! This was the first time I have been to the jolly fryer and first impressions count, he is very welcoming and talks to everyone..

The negative

I should have had haddock (my own fault)

I asked for salt and vinegar and non was put on (the wonderful lady must not have heard me)

Overall

The food was piping hot even after a 10 minute drive to a less busy spot

Mr jolly keep up the good customer service 👍 and the pride you take is brilliant

A solid 9 out of 10

Will be returning and hopefully next time do a video food review for my channel

Best fish & chips that we've had since my diagnosis. They have a completely separate fryer, so it's completely safe for coeliac.

Gluten free always available. Separate fryers are used. Theo does fish, chips, sausage (plain and battered) and curry sauce all gluten free! It is an amazing place, so friendly you feel like family and it tastes just as good (if not better) than fish and chips as I remember them before diagnosis!
