Fish dishes may contain bones. All weights are approximate uncooked. Menu subject to availability / change. Please note that due to the nature of cooking our deep fried products, we cannot guarantee they’re free from cross contamination / contact with other allergens. Cereals containing gluten ingredients which are deep fried will use the same fryers in our kitchens as dishes not containing these ingredients – there may be risk of cross contamination /contact which may therefore affect those who are extremely sensitive.
