AN AYRSHIRE woman has revealed she travels hundreds of miles every year for fish and chips.

Janette Scott-Martin is one of numerous diners who embarks on a round trip of more than 200 miles to an Argyll village to tuck into a portion of gluten free fish and chips during Gluten Free Fortnight.

The Real Food Café in Tyndrum has announced the return of Gluten Free Fortnight, which attracts diners from across the UK.

Janette said: “I think the first time we visited The Real Food Café was in 2006 when we were walking the West Highland Way. Since then, we have been many, many times.

"Twelve years ago, I was diagnosed as being coeliac and since then have been coming up to enjoy the restaurant’s gluten-free fish and chips.

"I find the Real Food Café is one of the very few places where I can trust the food will be gluten-free and with no danger of cross-contamination, and it is always consistently of a very high standard.

"Yes, it is a long way to come but it is always worth it!  The fish is always beautifully cooked and the batter delicious, always!”

Last year, The Real Food Café was visited by a diner who drove a round trip of 500 miles for a portion of gluten free fish and chips and came back for a second portion before the long drive home.

This month’s event will run from October 11-27 and aims to raise awareness of coeliac disease and the range of delicious gluten-free food and drink options for diners living with coeliac disease and gluten sensitivities.

Coeliac disease affects an estimated one in 100 individuals worldwide, with many others actively avoiding gluten due to sensitivities or personal dietary preferences.
