The kitchen is not dedicated to gluten-free preparation.
Per-allergen evidence
The kitchen is not dedicated to gluten-free preparation. A dedicated fryer is used, and staff are reported to be well-trained on coeliac needs. Several community reviews mention a gluten-free menu. According to the official menu, gluten-free options are available on request. Because the menu does not mark individual dishes, cross-contamination remains possible in the shared kitchen. A discussion of specific needs with staff is advised.
