Bellyfish Cafe
Bellyfish Cafe offers gluten-free bread and several GF-adaptable dishes (GF toast, fish & chips, burgers). The menu marks a few items as GF or GF-adaptable but the kitchen is shared and a notice states the kitchen contains allergens including gluten. A nutritionist blogger reported good quality GF bread and options; an Atly community source notes some risk of cross-contamination. Staff are described as helpful but no dedicated fryer or prep area is mentioned. Best for those who can manage some risk; coeliacs should confirm protocols directly with the kitchen.
