From the moment I heard about Poseidon's Traditional English Fish & Chips, I knew I had to try it,…read moreI was super excited, despite embarassing myself at my own pronounciation of their name. They opened around two years ago, and the majority of their menu is gluten-free, they seem to really care about a product which is healthy and inclusive (gluten-free food being healthier, and more inclusive for those with allergies), the only food items on the menu which aren't gluten-free are the pies and puddings, which is still such a small part of the menu.
The location is good within Bolton town centre, it is close enough to the town centre, you could easily get a bus one or two stops, or walk, but it isn't so close you'll get stuck in an insane amount of traffic with no parking, infact there's street parking right outside and a free car-park just meters away.
The menu and gluten-free selection was impressive, it included your traditional fish and chips as well as jacket/new potatoes, fish cakes, sausages, scraps, scampi and pretty much anything you'd find in a regular chippy, so that was great.
It is slightly more expensive to order on Uber Eats, I ended up paying around £2 more, I do feel they could be more clearer on labeling what is and isn't gluten-free on third-party sites, some items were marked gluten-free, and some weren't, I didn't realise this place was entierley gluten-free until asking when picking up my order.
My food was pretty good, the fish was great, the batter was crispy, it was presented well in an easy to eat box, and the fish was great quality too, I would have liked a touch more salt on my chips and a slightly thicker cury sauce, but I was pleased with my food overall, the jumbo chippy sausage was also very good.
They do only have limited opening hours, they're open between Wednesday and Saturday, and only open for "lunch" on Friday's, meaning if you do want to eat here you will most likely need to visit in the late afternoon / early evening.
I would have liked to see a seating area, but there wasn't much room for this, but the inside was clean anyway and the location is good for eating in your car, if you're OK with that. 4*
