Notes
We can cater for coeliacs and gluten free (please specify which one you are) by substituting our hand cut chips for frozen chips, and our homemade bread for Nairn’s certified GF oatcakes. However, please note that you may still have a reaction if you are allergic to the oat protein. Please look for the “GF/Sub” symbol to indicate that we can substitute to make the dish Gluten Free.
If you have a seafood allergy, you will be requested to sign a disclaimer.
Please let us know if you have an allergy and ask if unsure. Please note our fryers/equipment are used to cook seafood and gluten too.
