Really delicious food, best I’ve had in Auckland yet. Great fries, good entrees. I’m a very sensitive celiac and had no reaction. No dedicated gf menu but just be clear with the host/ server and when they bring your food out.

Great Quay side restaurant with good gf options (including gf fish and chips cooked in a separate fryer) . Staff very knowledgeable about gf options and care seemed to be taken. Food was also really good!

Excellent knowledge of coeliac requirements. Has a dedicated gluten free fryer. Menu does not state what can be done gluten free but wait staff are knowledgeable about what they can and can’t adapt. My 5 year old loved the fish and chips and calamari.

Based on an earlier review we popped in here just to grab some chips but there were heaps of GF options! Really delicious and the staff were lovely and extremely aware of how to deal with celiacs. They even recommended this app. 👍

I asked if they had a seperate frier for chips as my daughter had a gluten allergy. He asked you mean ‘Coeliac’? He also informed me the batter used for fish is GF. I had a happy child :-) Fish was a bit small but it was good.
