Per-allergen evidence
Has a separate gluten-free menu and staff report using a dedicated prep area and fryer on request. The owner's child has coeliac disease, so knowledge is strong. However the kitchen is not 100% dedicated — dishes from the main menu may also appear in non-GF versions — so cross-contact risk remains. Best to confirm dedicated equipment with staff each visit.
