    Diners with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities can enjoy dedicated gluten-free crumb coatings alongside vegetarian items like halloumi burgers.

    The gluten free crumb is the best I’ve had. That’s why we travel 40mins each way to have it!

  • Proper Dine-In Plating and Tableware

    Meals are served on real ceramic plates with proper metal cutlery rather than disposable takeaway containers, elevating the traditional neighborhood chippery.

    Greek salad served on a real plate. Easily enough for two, in fact we had some left over. $31, amazing value! The quality, stunning. Crisp chips, the right amount of salt, light tasty fish, not dripping in oil and the salad fresh and yummy. Proper cutlery, friendly and fast service.
