Father's Office Downtown

Gluten-free items are marked on the menu and a dedicated gluten-free fryer is used for chips, wings, and tenders. However, the kitchen is shared, so cross-contamination is possible. Multiple coeliac reviewers report no symptoms, but the venue itself states 'we have a shared kitchen so cross contamination may occur'. No formal accreditation is mentioned.
