Auburn Catch Fish & Chips

A family-run fish and chip shop with gluten-free options cooked in a separate fryer. The menu lists a specific 'Flake Gluten Free (Grilled)' item — grilled without batter or flour. A coeliac reviewer reported a dedicated fryer for chips, dim sims, and potato cakes, and another mentioned GF options for coeliacs generally. However, a more recent review stated the staff confirmed there is no dedicated fryer and no visible GF menu, creating conflicting reports. The no-fryer review is from 4 months ago; the positive one is 2 years old. Call ahead to confirm current practices, especially around fryer separation, as kitchen procedures may have changed.

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

Honest caveat: A recent coeliac review (4 months ago) states the staff confirmed there is no dedicated fryer — this conflicts with an older review claiming one; safer to verify before ordering.
