About The Happy Fryer

Daisy Hill’s standout chippie serves up crisp battered fish alongside a dedicated gluten-free setup coeliacs can actually rely on. Green menus signal an entirely gluten-free roster—from crunchy potato scallops and chicken schnitzels to crumbed calamari fried in a separate fryer to keep cross-contamination at bay. Mixed households get their fix without compromise, pairing hefty burgers and steak sandwiches with thin, oil-free battered cod. Pull up a chair inside for table service where orders land on real plates with cutlery, lemon quarters tucked alongside.

  • Dedicated Gluten-Free Fryer: A dedicated fryer and separate green menu deliver gluten-free potato scallops, calamari, and chips without cross-contamination.
  • Plated Dine-In Service: Eat-in meals arrive on genuine plates with metal cutlery and table service rather than disposable paper wrapping.
  • Mixed-Diet Friendly: Coeliac options, classic burgers with the lot, and steak sandwiches let mixed-diet groups order seamlessly together.

    Households with both coeliac and gluten-eating members can enjoy a meal together from one venue, with generous portions across burgers, platters, and sides.

    As a coeliac family it is always great to find a dedicated fryer. Well the Happy Fryer has just that! We ordered a gluten free seafood platter for 3.

  • Plated Tableware and Table Service Dine-In Experience

    Unlike standard takeaway paper packaging, dine-in customers receive their fish and chips served directly on plates with metal cutlery and table service.

    The meal was served on a plate with cutlery. Not your normal fish 'n chip experience.
