stockTier A (Strongly trusted, but unverified): an accreditation by a recognised gluten-free / coeliac-safety body was claimed, but we could not verify the claim against the body's own published list. The body's directory page does not name this venue, and we have no other third-party evidence to corroborate the certification. Other signals on record: dedicated kitchen claimed; allergen-marked menu. Treat as gluten-free / coeliac-aware rather than gluten-free / coeliac-certified until the venue can produce verifiable accreditation.
