The Haven Bar & Restaurant

King's Saltern Road, Lymington Yacht Haven, SO41 3QD

A waterfront restaurant at Lymington Yacht Haven with views over the Solent, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week with a strong seafood lean: oysters, scallops, dressed crab, whole sea bream and daily specials from the catch.

The manager has confirmed that the fries are cooked in separate fryers from anything battered, which makes them gluten free — the question that decides most pub meals. The menu is marked throughout: several dishes such as the Indonesian seafood curry, whole sea bream and all the sides including fries carry a plain GF mark, and many more — from the burger and ribeye to soup, moules and most puddings — are marked as available gluten free on request. The kitchen states its chefs can tweak the majority of dishes for gluten free customers. Diners on gluten free directories report the fryers are dedicated gluten free and one sensitive coeliac describes repeated visits without problems, though those reports are undated.

Beyond the fryers, the venue has not described how gluten free orders are kept apart during prep and plating, so that part is still unverified. GF on the menu often means a dish can be made gluten free on request, so say what you need when ordering rather than assuming it arrives that way.

How are gluten free orders kept separate during preparation and plating?
