We take allergens seriously and prepare all food with care.
However, as our kitchen handles multiple ingredients, we cannot guarantee the complete absence of allergen traces.
If you have any allergies or dietary requirements, please speak to a member of our team before ordering. We're always happy to help.
Please note that due to space limitations at our Market Place shop, which is a Grade II listed building, we are unable to offer gluten-free alternatives. Gluten-free options are available at our other Bells Fish & Chip locations.
All of our food is cooked in traditional beef dripping. Sunflower oil is available on request.
Please note: our fish may naturally contain small bones, and our chips may rarely contain small field stones.
