Reviews
Lovely food and great service, felt really looked after. All food is gluten free, none of us need that but the batter on the fish was gorgeous! Nowhere near as greasy as traditional batter.
The crispiest and lightest batter, chips are so fresh (crispy and fluffy), everything was done so well. They've added some new beautiful decorations inside too, with some great lighting and leaves flowing from the ceiling. Another very satisfying visit to this very talented and skilled place. At these prices and this quality, I'm not sure why you'd go anywhere else, unless you just don't know about it. Great location near the park and a short walk from the seafront. Very surprised the rating isn't a full 5* because every visit I've had has been beyond brilliant. Thank you again fisherman's catch
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 :)
Another lovely visit today with my daughter. Delicious food and 100% gf. Other allergens catered for well too. Unreal Donner kebab meat brought home for tea tonight. Highly recommend. Gorgeous food and the owner is fab.
Had a wonderful time here I travelled from Sunderland on a very rainy day. Me and my toddler were made to feel very welcome by a wonderful lady. They had the ikea high chairs what we have at home so he felt comfortable. The decor was stunning and menu was very easy to read. Prices are average for the gluten free community. I had the kebab and chips with dips and a pitta this was £9 and I shared with my toddler. It was very nice. The chips were amazing. I took a cake to go and enjoy at home and this was very good too. I will definitely be returning on a sunny day.
