Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 0.55 ·

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

Multiple sources indicate no marked gluten-free menu in the restaurant; some staff are knowledgeable but others reportedly dismissive. One reviewer experienced a glutening incident. The online ordering page has a 'Gluten Free' filter, but Atly community notes the in-restaurant menu does not mark GF items. No dedicated gluten-free kitchen or fryer. Accommodation requires asking staff; safety is inconsistent.

Honest caveat: At least one reviewer reported a glutening incident; other reviews note lack of allergen marking and poor staff allergy awareness.
