Princess of Wales

Amazingly located pub, just by the canal. I ate the best fish & chips I’ve ever had there, with a nice crispy batter - plus all gluten free! They prepare the batter with gf flour and they also have gluten free beer on tap. Gf is not displayed on the main menu, but you can ask for the allergen folder and staff have been helpful. As in most places, there is a risk of cross-contamination in the kitchen, but they seem quite knowledgeable and careful. There’s also some gf puddings on the menu. So nice to be able to eat and drink those classics there 🩵

Visited on Sunday afternoon. Unhelpful staff when asking about meals that are both gluten free and vegan. Initially, they were unable to provide a response but provided us with a hefty folder which we were left to decipher. Eventually, a manager was called. He was able to tell us that they did not have any meals which were gluten-free and vegan, making derogatory remarks about my eating 'preferences'. He was then asked if there was anything the kitchen could put together for us. He came up with nothing. We eventually ordered hummus, chips and a salad, for which we were charged 3 full individual dishes, which came to a higher price than the Sunday Roast dinner eaten by the rest of the group. On being challenged about this, the manager asked what I would like him to do about it. We suggested a price reduction for the meal. This was agreed to. Cutlery was dirty. The drinks server brought a tray of drinks and had no idea what was on it. The entire time we were there, no one returned to the table to ask if we wanted another drink. Having said all of this, the food was good.
