What diners say

No diner ratings yet.

Ratings are diners’ own experience. They don’t make a dish safe; neither do we.

Where this comes from

Allergen answers come from the menu’s labels first, then the listed ingredients, then a model’s judgement checked when unsure. How allergen status is decided.

Questions about The BOX on the Water

Does The BOX on the Water have gluten-free options?

We haven’t read The BOX on the Water’s menu yet, so we can’t say. Ask the venue directly.

Is The BOX on the Water coeliac friendly?

Chef’s Kiss reads each venue’s own menu and says where every answer came from. It never calls a dish safe: kitchens share fryers, boards and flour, and menus change. If you have coeliac disease or an allergy, confirm with staff before you order.

When is The BOX on the Water open?

Monday: 12pm–3pm. Tuesday: 12pm–3pm. Wednesday: 12pm–3pm. Thursday: 5:30pm–8:30pm. Friday: 5:30pm–8:30pm. Saturday: 5:30pm–8:30pm. Sunday: 5:30pm–7pm. Hours can change on public holidays; check with the venue.
