"I had lunch with a friend at this pub. It is a beautiful pub. I had phoned earlier to check their ability to provide gluten-free food and they said that as everything was cooked from fresh they could adapt anything on the menu. We had a very pleasant glass of white wine whilst waiting an hour for our meal. As the meal we had ordered was the cold fish platter. We were quite surprised at this rather long delay. Unfortunately, although the platter is served with bread, they had no gluten-free alternatives. I suggested chips, but these are cooked in the same fat as breaded food (this is a rather bizarre and old-fashioned way of cooking chips since it simply means the chips taste of whatever you've cooked with them! . Of course it's meant that the chips would be contaminated with gluten. So in the end I had a bag of crisps. This was a bad mistake since the crisps were naturally salty. The fish dish was so salty that it was almost inedible. One piece of fish I put into my mouth and my body just spat it out! It was an expensive platter at just under £25 for quite a small amount of fish. The staff were very friendly but slow."
