NEW Eat with confidence - seperate fryer , seperate utensils and gluten and wheat free batter
Taken from The Banbury Cake newspaper....
Monday night is gluten free night at The Fairway Fish Bar Martyn Elsmore of Fairway Fish Bar serves up a dream come true for Ian OConnell of Banbury. 18 months ago Ian OConnell of Banbury was diagnosed with coeliac disease an intolerance to gluten which effects about one in 100 people in the UK. A big fan of fish and chips, Ian was told by his doctor that his local chippy was out of bounds due to the wheat and gluten content of batter. After walking past chippies teased by the alluring aroma for a year and a half, the chip ban was to much to swallow for Ian, so he went inside to have a chat with Martyn Elsmore, owner of the Fairway Fish Bar. He suggested that finding a solution to this problem for sufferers of coeliac disease could be good for business, and Mr Elsmore responded. The Fairway Fish Bar sourced a special gluten and wheat-free batter and set up a separate fryer to cater for coeliacs every Monday night between 5pm and 9pm.
