Light Years - Newcastle

GF items are marked on the menu and multiple coeliac diners report knowledgeable, accommodating staff who will walk you through safe options and adapt dishes. One reviewer noted a chef is also coeliac. The kitchen is shared, not dedicated, so cross-contamination is possible. Good communication around coeliac needs is the norm here, making it a strong choice for gluten-free dining in a shared-kitchen setting.
