jamborich Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Booked in for the first time on Friday evening, I have received an email from the restaurant showing their new November menu which doesn’t really cater much for someone who is gluten free, does anyone who has been before know if they offer alternative options outwith the menu for gluten free customers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab Mac52 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I’ve been a couple of times with my wife who is coeliac. The staff were knowledgeable and able to adapt where possible. We alerted them in advance and you may wish to consider this. I’d be interested to hear how you get on as we are booked for a Christmas meal in December.

They've got good awareness and will happily tell you what they can do for you. Last time I was there a month or so ago I never ate an oatcakey thing that came with my pate. I was a bit pissed off that after explaining to them they still put it on the plate. Turned out it was a gluten free oatcakey thing! Pretty sure they could do the burger (not the chicken one) with a GF bun and most other dishes were either fine or just needed a wee tweak.

Actually, it was the salmon I had for the starter and it came with this extra thing which wasn't on the menu. I had specifically chosen the salmon cos it didn't have any allergens then assumed this extra wee thing was gluten containing, but it wasn't. I had the cheese for dessert and that came with GF oatcakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say the experience was very good food excellent however a little bit disappointed with the gluten free issue only one starter and one main was available and both were fish don’t want to be to critical but it’s something they need to look at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you go solely off the allergens noted on the menu or did you ask them what they could do? Always been additional options with minor amendments to dishes when I have asked.

Ministryofdad Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Chefs can cater to all dietary requirements. We always consider allergens due to natasha's law. The less allergenic components in a dish equates to being able to cater for all. Examples would be eliminating gluten in deserts. The addition of gluten free bread as an option when requested. Careful consideration is taken when designing a menu. It's a legal requirement to list all allergic information on every dish now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kila Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Always think serving battered fish on top of the chips is shite, chips just end up steamed/soggy. Going by the photo there's plenty room for improvement with that particular dish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 The only criticism I would have is the fish has a fair bit of salt on top of it . Same with chips . I think it should up to the diner to decide this . It’s too much over seasoning . Too much salt is not good for you . It wasn’t that big a deal i just scraped it off . I’ve noticed this is a feature in quite a few restaurants . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like fish and chips but I’ve got a couple of favourite places which have never disappointed so I tend to only order from there, not suggesting the skyline fish and chips are not good, I just prefer to try the other items. My two favourite fish and chip places are at the Jacobite cruise centre based at Dochgarroch lock just outside inverness on the way to lochness and the seafood shack at Ullapool with a haddock wrap (see picture) no chips though…..the haddock went all the way to the bottom of that wrapper.
