Neither says how it keeps gluten-free food apart in the fryer, so ask about the oil before you order. Updated October 2026.
How gluten-free fish and chips works in Nottingham
Gluten-free fish and chips in Nottingham comes from two local chains, with shops in West Bridgford, Chilwell, Long Eaton, Wollaton and Sherwood rather than the city centre. George’s Tradition serves gluten-free fish and chips on Sundays only; The Cod’s Scallops offers fish baked gluten-free in the oven. Neither describes its fryers, so the oil is the question to ask.
Coeliac UK’s advice on takeaways: chips, or fish in gluten-free batter, are not gluten-free if they’re fried in the same oil as battered food with gluten. Ask about the oil for the chips too, because shops often rotate it. Taking the batter off battered fish doesn’t help, because the fish has already picked up gluten. The NHS lists fish as naturally gluten-free, but not breaded or battered fish.
So ask three things when you order. Is the batter gluten-free? Do the gluten-free fish and the chips go into oil that never sees battered food? And is there a gluten-free night or a dedicated gluten-free fryer? Coeliac UK says some shops have one or the other. In the UK, “gluten-free” on a menu means 20 parts per million or less, also for food that isn’t prepacked. Coeliac UK’s Gluten Free Accreditation goes to venues that follow its standards, processes and training; we show it on a card only when the venue’s own site says so.
