Went last night and it was very busy when I arrived (gluten free night). We didn’t wait long though - the service and food was relatively but also very tasty. The fish was light and chips were substantial - we were pleased that it wasn’t at all greasy for such a quick turn around and it was very enjoyable after a long day of walking!

Popped in early on a Friday and managed to get a table. We enjoyed the food (gluten free options available) and our waiter was fantastic. The only negative was the buffalo cheese and tomato salad that was pricey for what it was.

This looked just the place I was looking for but then discovered they don’t do gluten free food other than a fish pie! I could hardly take that away to eat on the seafront As a visitor to Swanage I am finding that this town simply does not cater or welcome coeliacs
