Per-allergen evidence

Coeliac · Gluten-free

B
confidence 72%

The menu uses (gf) for gluten-free items. A separate Gluten-Free Menu also exists, but the kitchen is shared and the venue explicitly warns it cannot guarantee trace-element-free meals, so proceed with caution. Community reviews confirm a dedicated fryer for chips, helpful staff, and good experiences for coeliac diners. The venue itself makes no safety guarantees. Best for less-sensitive gluten-free diners. Celiacs should call ahead.

Honest caveat: The venue states it cannot guarantee completely allergy-free meals and recommends diners with severe allergies bring their own food.
