I was happy to find a gluten free place to eat. I enjoyed the food and the service.

Loved my experience here the staff were super kind and helpful, I rang beforehand and was made to feel super welcome and when I arrived I was told all the safety measures put in place such as a seperate gf fryer and working area. I had the fried chicken burger it was okay, the bread tasted a bit sconish and the chicken was a little underseasoned but the Kumara fries were insanely good! Would love to try one of the other burgers :)

Great place to get a burger for a coeliac, though only if you go on a day the buns are fresh! I went twice, and the first time my gf bun was really nice, but the second time it completely broke apart within the first two bites, making it too hard to eat without a knife and fork. These are things we deal with as gluten free people anyway, so it wasn’t surprising, but a little disappointing after such a good bun the time before. Otherwise the burgers were great, the chicken nuggets were really nicely cooked, and the chips were yum too!

Overpriced for small portions served with a side of attitude for free; rushed to order and felt unwelcoming and like we’d done something wrong before even speaking. Also says gluten free can be accommodated on a sign outside but when asked, we were told no (no further context or explanation) and felt like we couldn’t ask anything else.

Went for brunch got a gluten free chicken burger the (JFK), it was amazing would 1000% recommend for gluten free people. There ice lattè was really nice also.

Awesome dinner here on a busy weekend. Staff were so helpful with my young coeliac son, sorting out gluten free options for him, and even have a separate fryer! True heaven as he wolfed down a delish gluten free burger and fries. The steak and mash was awesome, and service was lovely. Very much appreciate the extra mile when dining with kids. Lovely courtyard.

Cozy pub with a relaxed ambiance. They offer a variety of dietary options, including vegan and gluten-free choices. The staff was friendly and attentive. There’s both indoor and outdoor seating, and ample free parking. My only suggestions are to consider adding an acidic ingredient to some of the fattier menu items, and to improve the base of the vegetarian pizza.

Janette Heath

Very impressed with the kids menu with most being gluten free.

Elaine Mehlhopt

So excited to find a different option for Gluten Free at this lovely cafe today. The savoury loaf was delicious! Thanks so very much. So sick of friands and orange cakes offered by every cafe!!

I brought my three kids to chipmunks, was the Second time I've been here. It’s a big area for the kids to run around and let off some steam, although you can’t bring outside food there was a decent range of things you could buy instead which was nice. Parents also could follow in around the playground just not on the big slides. My child has a gluten allergy and they were really easy to deal with regarding the gluten free foods and the seperate fryer, the staff were great with answering my questions overall really happy with the staff and play area! 😁😁

Sonya Perks

Great staff who were knowledgeable about coeliac disease. They have a separate fryer for chips and were so careful with my food. 100% would go there again.

Nek Minnit

Got the gluten free fish burger and unfortunately the bun was like a rock and inedible. The amount of fish was less than half the small bun size and did not look like the photos on the website. Burgers’ Fuel and Wisconsin do good gluten free buns and would suggest Fush do some research to improve their ingredients and amount given. At $29.90 for the burger + chips I would have expected better.

I had the low carb salad bowl with falafel. It is very filling and a great selection of salads to go with my falafel. The atmosphere is welcoming and if I wanted to dine in seating is comfortable. They are very good with my dietary needs and let me check the ingredients of the bqq sauce I wanted to have. The hummus is homemade and excellent. They always put on fresh gloves for me when I order because i tell them I am coeliac when ordering. I can request they turn on the gluten-free fryer for me to cook my falafel. This is great as it makes it safe for me to eat. I've added some photos one is after I've mixed it together which I love to do. I've tried a few of the drinks and they all go well with the food.
