Was michael162364 at Dolphin a mag?

A significant portion of the menu is dedicated to gluten-free options, with vegan dishes also available. The gluten-free batter is deliciously crispy and not greasy, and the staff are knowledgeable about catering to those with celiac disease. View all feedback.

What dee123 dislikes about Dolphin:

The restaurant has a separate gluten-free section and fryer, but the servers did not seem to understand the importance of avoiding cross-contamination. I felt tired and experienced symptoms of gluten exposure after dining there, suggesting that they may not have been as careful as they initially claimed. It's disappointing because it seems like they were making an effort to accommodate gluten-free diners. View all feedback.

A portion of the menu is dedicated to gluten-free options and they also offer vegan dishes. Their gluten-free dough is deliciously crispy and non-fat, and the staff is knowledgeable about celiac disease and dietary restrictions.

Lovely chippy on the harbour with lovely views. Nice fresh fish, decent portion. Enjoyable meal, friendly staff- social distancing adhered to. Reasonably priced when considering the location.

Lovely little sit down fish and chips with a cup of tea after a cold boat trip! Fish was really good! The server was lovely too and service was quick.

Absolutely perfect broken cadjau and chips, really delicious. saveloy was on point and the curry sauce was incredible. the restaurant is clean and tidy and located directly next to the harbour. when they come to ilfracombe and try to do this, they will not be disappointed, the staff were also very friendly.

Today for a coffee, but also fish and chips. batter was really light and tasty. the staff was very attentive and looked at us while we were there. I can imagine it's very busy in the summer.
