GLASS BOX CAFE

The Glass Box Cafe is a solid spot for a quick bite on the pier, especially if you fancy gluten-free fish & chips that won’t send you to the ER. Richard Pope was all about the separate fryers, while Hannah Clague raved about their vegan fish and chips, saying it’s the best she’s ever had. The view is a cherry on top, making it the kind of place where your food tastes even better with the right backdrop. The staff are friendly, and the vibe is casual.

But then there’s Coralie Feltham, who faced the nightmare of poor allergy communication. It’s like they’ve got a separate fryer, but not a separate brain for allergy information. Still, if you can overlook the occasional misstep, you’re in for a decent meal that doesn’t feel like a gamble. Just remember to ask the right questions to avoid a plate full of regrets.
