La Cabra Mexican Carlton

Some dishes are marked G/F on the menu (e.g. 'Chilli Grilled Prawn Tacos (G/F)', 'Char-Grilled Corn (G/F)', 'Buffalo Chicken Wings (G/F)'), indicating awareness of gluten-free options. However, the kitchen is a shared, high-throughput casual dining environment with battered and fried items present, and no dedicated fryer or preparation area is documented. Cross-contamination risk is real and unmitigated by any structural safeguard found in sources.
