Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Menu uses LG (low gluten) and LGO (can be made low gluten on request) codes on individual dishes; the venue explicitly states it has an open kitchen and that 'menu items may contain traces of gluten, seafood and nuts.' Not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Community reviews include one documented coeliac reaction (probable duck pancakes) alongside positive reports from other coeliac diners for specific dishes (prawn dumplings, mushroom dumplings, fried rice). Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged by the venue itself.

Honest caveat: One coeliac reviewer on FindMeGlutenFree reported a serious gluten reaction, likely linked to duck pancakes; the venue's own menu warns traces of gluten are possible throughout.
