Squires Loft Docklands

Squires Loft markets itself strongly as a gluten-free destination, stating 'nearly every item on our menu meets gluten-free standards' including ribs, sauces and bastes, all made at a dedicated production facility. Steaks are 'grilled on a dedicated surface to avoid gluten contamination.' However, the menu carries no per-dish GF markings and there is no independent accreditation (e.g. Coeliac Australia). The claims come entirely from the venue's own marketing pages. A shared-kitchen environment with some dedicated surface practice is consistent with Tier D — aware and accommodating, but cross-contamination risk cannot be ruled out without independent verification.
