Visited for the first time after our 4 year old daughters coeliac diagnosis, myself and partner are able to and do eat gluten, so we weren’t sure what to expect from the fish and chips we both ordered. They were honestly really lovely, I would never have known the whole meal was gluten free as it tasted no different from regular fish. The batter is so light and really crispy and delicious! Was really impressed with the kids meal and thought that it was very reasonably priced for a sit in (or takeaway) meal. My little girl chose fish bites and chips, which came with a carton of apple juice or water for £5! Which I thought was brilliant for the size of the portion. Curry sauce was also really nice, and the amount was plentiful. The lady who served us couldn’t have been nicer and was really attentive. There was an offer of a portion of free halloumi which she boxed up for us to takeaway too. Really pleased to find this on our doorstep, very lucky to have a fully gluten free place to enjoy without fear! Will definitely return.

Fully gluten free fish and chip shop. Huge menu, fish & chips, scotch eggs, patties, burgers, kebabs, pizzas, desserts - plus specials etc. Fish & Chips - Light batter, nice flaky fish and the chips had lovely flavour to them. Scotch Egg - Served warm with salad, Homemade - The best GF one ever had. Corned Beef Pattie - Homemade, bags of flavour and super light batter like tempura. So tasty Pizza - I went for the chips and cheese one as up north, never seen before. But it works really well, the nice tomato sauce blends with other ingredients. Plus a great cheese pull. Kebab - They normally serve with chips or salad, but had plain with their dips. Really light, not greasy, tasty, first time tried one thats gluten free. Puddings - They need to do a menu even just a chalkboard, as this is super rare being gluten free. The lady across from me had sticky toffee pudding which looked great and I went for the tropical roulade. Not to sweet and sugary like some, really light and fruity, the perfect ending to a meal. They do take away and eat in, function room upstairs.Fully operational bar, plus lots of gluten free beers and soft drinks. Also sell GF products like Chutneys/GF vinegar etc at good prices. Generous portions, loved the fish/pudding plates. Food cooked to order, so freshly made. Service was great, super friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Some nights they do have entertainment in there. Was very impressed with the quality and taste, will certainly be back :)

Delicious… We picked up food from this fully gluten-free fish and chips spot, and honestly? The food was fantastic — dangerously good. The fish bites were golden and crisp like they'd been cooked by someone with a vendetta against sogginess. The chips were thick, fluffy on the inside, and suspiciously perfect. And the gluten-free scotch egg? Too good. Like, what-are-you-hiding good. We brought the food home, and it held up weirdly well. No sogginess. No loss of heat. It was like it had been wrapped in some kind of anti-time foil. We devoured it, laughed about how good it was… and then just sat there in silence for a while, staring at the empty boxes. Something was different. We felt… calm. Too calm. We’ll definitely go back. We don’t know why. We just will.
