🫶🏻 We had a wonderful experience at Miss Kangsta! As a gluten-free (coeliac!) restaurant, it’s absolutely fantastic — delicious food, fresh ingredients, and so many creative options. The staff was welcoming and very knowledgeable about dietary needs, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone looking for amazing gluten-free dining in Wellington!

Had an excellent gluten free fish and chips. GF batter and dedicated fryer produced a delectable, non-greasy batter-dipped fish and accompanying fries. Super helpful wait person too!

The Old Bailey
Accommodating
101 Lambton Quay, Wellington Central, Wellington 6011, New Zealand
Enjoy a cozy, pub-like vibe complete with sports highlights, deliciously cooked burgers, and attentive service that exceeds expectations.
We went in for Burger Wellington. Being Ceoliac i didn't have any expectation that they would offer a GF bun much less know about the importance of cross contamination.. But they did! Our server Chelsea explained that they had a dedicated fryer for the chips and could make a version of the burger completely gluten free. The bun was yummy and the meat was perfectly cooked. We moved home to NZ from the UK and miss our local pub atmosphere, they had Première league football highlights playing and our booth felt very cosy away from the Wellington winter weather. I had been here in the past and it was OK but this recent experience has me impressed. With so few options in this part of the CBD I'll be thinking of it for my next "long lunch"
