What Our Customers Say

ash Gleeson
the whole menu is naturally gluten free, amazing news for a coeliac 🥹
Tess
We were so excited to find fresh, beautiful fish and chips that were entirely gluten-free, with dairy-free options too, here in Queenstown. The staff were absolutely lovely and even threw in some extra fish bites, which was such a treat. The food was delicious, and the place itself had an awesome vibe. We’ll definitely be back!
Corinna Hull
Oh gosh, I was so looking forward to visiting here again! We've been here several times over the years - probably since they opened. I was so pleased to see it's still here & looks more permanent than ever. I think could be a franchise that would take off - to have such amazing quality of gf food that surpasses glutinous good is no small feat.
Christian Hesford
I don’t understand how this can be rated any lower than a full 5/5. The fish is fresh and tasty, the batter is airy and light. The chips are hot, crispy and well salted. The sides and sauces all compliment the mains perfectly, and it’s very well priced! Less than $10 for a large piece of Hoki? Bargain. Went for a snack, came back that same evening for dinner. Outstanding!
Brenda Akeroyd
This place is amazing, everything is gluten free and delicious. I used to own a fish and chip shop so I can tell they change the oil regularly and buy quality ingredients. I would highly recommend this place.
Shane
Amazing fish and chips spot that’s fully gluten free as well! My partner is coeliac so it was great for us to enjoy anything we wanted on the menu. We tried to the fried monkfish with chips and some calamari and it was so good! Very crispy batter and chips, good portions and very friendly staff too.
Carl Colvill
A real amazing feed and beautiful fresh taste with no oily after taste. I can see why there's so many awards around the walls.

Wonderful food and service. Whether gluten free or not you will love this food. Location right near water. So handy. Great value for money. Don’t miss this.

I’d experienced such food anxiety while travelling as a coeliac. Finding the first dedicated gluten free food option of the trip was amazing. We ate there 3 times as a result 🤣

Brenda was closing for the night and we reached out to her and the staff to please stay open for us as we had been on the road over seven hours and hadn’t had any food. We really wanted the fish and chips as we could smell when we got off our van. We pleaded and they had mercy on us and prepared the most wonderful fish and chips for my wife and me! We were overcome by the welcoming staff and their helping us out. We are here for a few nights and are definitely coming back! Delicious! Thanks Brenda and girls at Erik’s Fish and Chips!
