Schnitz Emporium

Schnitz offers a Gluten-Free Wrap option and a Corn Crunch Crumbs (Gluten Friendly) crumb, but the kitchen is shared with gluten-containing ingredients (wheat/gluten is present in all other crumbs, batters, chips, and sauces). The official allergen guide states 'We cannot guarantee completely allergen free meals due to the potential presence of trace allergens in the working environment.' No dedicated fryer or prep area is mentioned. A coeliac diner would need to rely on staff guidance and the marked menu, but cross-contamination risk is high.
