Coeliac · Gluten-free

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Gluten-free options exist on the menu, but there is a report of a diner with gluten allergy being violently ill after being assured a dish was gluten-free. Staff knowledge appears inconsistent. No dedicated fryer or kitchen is mentioned. Call ahead and confirm protocols with the chef before ordering.

Honest caveat: Report of a severe reaction after staff confirmed a dish as gluten-free. Confidence in safety is low.
