FreeFrom chippie in Whitby

I had literally just pressed the ‘publish’ button on the last post when Alex forwarded me a press release about the Quayside fish and chip shop in Whitby.

While a number of fish and chip shops now offer a ‘gluten-free Friday’ (or Monday, or Tuesday) the Quayside has gone the whole hog with gluten-free fish and chips every day accompanied by freefrom bread and vinegar and Against the Grain gluten free beer! Now that is what we like to hear!

Their gluten-free batter is made from corn, rice and soya flour, and both fish and chips are cooked in dedicated gluten-free pans and oil using dedicated utensils.

And not only does the Quayside cater for coeliacs but they offer lactose-free, nut-free, low-potassium, low-sodium and no-sugar options for those that need them. And you don’t need to book….. How far is Whitby?…. Rats – too far to get there for supper!

But for those of you who live a bit nearer to north Yorkshire, the Quayside is to be found at 7 Pier Road in Whitby. The Fusco family who run it (Stuart Fusco was Young Fish Frier of the Year in 2004) have two other fish and chip shops in Whitby but as far I can see, the Quayside is the only one to have gone freefrom.

I definitely think they should be entering the FreeFrom Eating Out Awards!!
