Many Redcliffe eateries are catering to gluten-free diners, with some taking extra steps to minimise the risk of cross-contamination with other products.
One popular choice is Marvelous Fish and Chips on Landsborough Avenue, Scarborough, where owner Rebecca Cockett said the business has a separate fryer for gluten-free food.
Rebecca said Marvelous understood the importance of avoiding cross-contamination.
“We have a very loyal gluten-free customer base, as we take care with the preparation of our gluten-free food and offer a gluten-free crumb and batter,” she said.
“We chose to include gluten-free options into our menu because of a definite need in the market. We started with a batter, but incorporated a crumb last year to give our gluten-free customers a choice, like everybody else.
“It’s important to us that we provide gluten-free, as it allows families to eat together when one or more family members may have an intolerance to gluten. The amount of gluten-free customers who are so excited and say they haven’t had fish and chips for years is truly satisfying, as to most of us, it is taken for granted that we can pop to our local chippie for a feed anytime.”
Bazil&Co at Scarborough Beach Resort also caters for gluten-free diners, with a range of cakes including tarts, cakes, cheesecakes and biscuits.
