I had Fish & Chips with flathead tails. Although the flathead tails aren't gluten-free, I was impressed by how allergy-aware the staff were. Since my family has a Barramundi allergy, the waitress double-checked to ensure the meal was safe for me. I've dined there a few times before & had that dish 3 or 4 times before she was satisfied it was safe!!
I was also pleased to see they offer a gluten-free pavlova, smartly placed separately from other desserts. It made me wonder if a staff member with celiac disease might work there! Many pubs offer gluten-free desserts but place them near regular flour options, making their gluten-free options not celiac-safe.
It's rare for a pub to go out of its way like this. Many offer gluten-free choices but use shared fryers, which isn't safe for celiacs.
While not all staff may be as allergy-aware as today's team, it's a positive step. I hope other venues will follow suit by offering desserts that celiacs can safely enjoy, even in non-certified gluten-free environments. (I was with the 12.15pm booking on table 17) food was delicious too
