I had the pleasure of trying this gluten-free fish cocktail, and I must say—it exceeded expectations in every way. Each bite-sized piece was perfectly golden and crisp, boasting a light and airy batter that didn’t feel heavy or greasy. The fish inside was tender, flaky, and fresh, offering a delightful contrast to the crunchy coating.
What impressed me most was how well-executed the gluten-free batter was—it held its structure beautifully and didn’t compromise on flavor or texture. Whether you’re gluten-intolerant or just exploring healthier alternatives, this fish cocktail is a total win. Great as a snack, appetizer, or party platter favorite!
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a delicious and inclusive seafood treat.
A cozy, family-owned spot with a unique variety of vegetarian options and affordable prices, perfect for a healthy, tasty meal!

Incredible burger! If it wasn't a plant based shop I would have checked if it was beef 😂
The vegan Sauces were delicious the owner was lovely and I was with a gluten free/celiac friend who could have almost the entire menu! Which is a rarity in itself. They have a gluten free deepfryer and all. 100/10 will be back
Have been visiting this place for the menu choices. Low cal gluten free buns, fresh produce. The food tastes fresh. Expensive and usually comes out cold. The chips and sides are usually cold as well. Table service can be quite disappointing. Tables are not cleared when the staff are standing inside talking and dancing. The napkins in the holders are usually empty and not filled up until something is said. Most tables didn't get their drinks the day we visited.
Always lovely service here. The coffee is nice and very hot for takeaway. I love that they offer gluten free muffins so I don't have to miss out on a muffin with my coffee. Close to grocery stores so you can grab a quick snack. Also close to the car park entrance which makes it a great option for a takeaway. They have a loyalty card too.
A memorable experience with exceptional service that made sure everything was perfect, leaving customers loyal and happy.

Myself and my sister come into the Charlestown store today Thursday 6th March 2025 and my sister had a gluten free pizza 🍕 and I decided to just have a cheesy garlic bread and hot chocolate fudge brownies for lunch today ,
The food was super fresh and hot it was actually really yummy,
And the staff members were really friendly and helpful and polite,
Only 2 negatives is the price is quite high for what we got but I think that’s because gluten free products is quite expensive anyway and also this store could certainly do with being more disability accessible for customers who use mobility aids such as wheelchairs and walking frames or walking sticks and ones that are highly prone to falls ( like myself ) thankfully I didn’t fall off the two stairs but they’re definitely a hazard in wet conditions like it was today ,
But I would recommend coming here again ,
Thank you to the young lady who allowed us to sit on the bench seat to eat our lunch inside away from the rain . 😁 Aimee STROMEIER

Haven’t been out to eat really at all since the corona virus started but wasn’t I happy to see at the Mattara they were COVID safe. Although we were signed in by a chef, not the COVID Marshall who wasnt at the desk, we were very happy as there was plenty of distance between tables and sanitiser available if you want it. We sat and yet again the same chef brought us menus, which was good as he could describe what was gluten free. Surprise surprise when we order, it was the chef to take our order. He was also back and forth into the kitchen too. The meals came out and a younger chef gave us some salt and pepper packets and we went to enjoy our meals. They were all amazing. Very good Thai beef salad, and the Parma was as cheesy as I’d hoped. A bar man seemed to me helping now on the till who also cleared our plates.
We thanked the chef that was also now clearing plates as we left. Thanks to all the floor staff who obviously are working through a tough time yet the still made our visit delightful.
Can’t wait to comeback
A cozy spot in Charlestown Square where family-friendly vibes and accommodating service make for a delightful dining experience.

Amazing experience at Charlestown Rascal’s. We ordered an OG combo, and our server was amazing at ensuring the GF burger was listed as coeliac, and when asked if the other burger could be upgraded, he pointed out the appropriate options to make it happen.
Food tasted amazinggg, service was quick and friendly (despite being at 12:30pm), and the GF bun was the nicest brand that my partner has had so far.
Good serving size as well; enough to make you feel satisfied and not bloated like your other fast foods.
First time in Newcastle, but will be sure to visit once again when we return. Well done guys!
