"Charlie and his team are amazing! They go above and beyond for us each month. Staff are like friends. We go for gluten free night and have since Charlie took over, it’s an amazing treat for us as a family due to limited gluten free options. My daughter also says they are the BEST gluten free chippy for miles (and she’s tried a few!)"

"Thank you for doing gluten free fish & chips and even curry sauce! After being diagnosed as a coeliac, I didn’t think any chip shop would go to the hassle of doing gluten free fish and chips. I’m so glad you did. Even my daughters had the gluten free just in case we got them mixed up and they loved them too. Friendly staff and great service. Thanks again"
