Excellent experience. When staff were informed I was Coeliac they gave me a Gluten Free Menu which had all Gluten Free dishes and options highlighted, so easy to read and loved not having to search for Gf in small print beside items on menu. M I felt so spoiled and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. So happy to be made feel special rather than "different" because I'm Coeluac. I'll definitely be a return customer!

We are Torquay locals, but we need to venture over to Jan Juc more often! This was our second time at Bird Rock, and we'll be back more often - it is so good in all aspects. It was a reasonably quite evening, but the Venue great, the Staff are the best, and the food is delicious - all in all, you couldn't complain, and you couldn't go past this Venue. It's also about the location - Juc is so much the Beachy vibe, and still has that feel, more nowadays than Torquay. Thanks to the young guys on Staff, who are the best !
