Travelled down the north island with a coeliac this evening and found this place on the Coeliac New Zealand FB page. I phoned and we were told they have a separate area. Ordered and got two packages- one for the gluten folks and another for the coeliac. both were absolutely delicious and this place was super busy. it's a good hour from where we live but we'll be coming back up here for dinner. LOVE that this place is safe for coeliacs.

I'm a coeliac so it is so nice to be able to get gluten free fish and chips, cooked in a separate fryer for gluten free items. I enjoy it very much. It is reasonably priced
