The menu marks several items as GF (e.g. 'GF Available', 'GF & Vegan', 'sub GF toast') and a nutritionist blogger reports good-quality GF bread and a range of GF options. However, the kitchen is shared — the website states 'Dishes are prepared in a kitchen that contains allergens including nuts, gluten, and other allergens' — so cross-contamination is a real risk. No dedicated fryer or separate prep area is mentioned. Best for gluten-sensitive diners who can confirm with staff; coeliacs should exercise caution.
