                                                      The food was amazing - they have some of the best gluten free pizza bases out there. The service was very fast and efficient, the place was packed and we waited no longer than 10mins for all of our pizzas to come out.

                                                      Brilliant night in the hands of Jo and the team at Captains. Flavoursome pizzas, excellent choice in toppings, great wine from the local region and a buzzy festive atmosphere - so lucky to have a restaurant like Captains. Staff were a delight - always chirpy and super helpful! We will be back again …. and again!!!
