Humbug's menu is clearly marked. Dishes tagged `gf` are gluten-free, while those tagged `gfo` indicate a gluten-free or coeliac option is available with substitutions. The kitchen states that gluten-free and coeliac dietaries are treated differently, and they can prepare `gfo` dishes to a coeliac-safe standard using substitutions. Multiple community reviewers describe the staff as attentive and accommodating. One coeliac diner reports being catered for well, and another notes a positive gluten-free pasta experience. The kitchen is shared and not 100% dedicated, and there is no independent accreditation. This is a high-care, marked-menu setup from a knowledgeable kitchen.
