The kitchen is shared, not dedicated, but multiple coeliac diners report safe experiences with GF scones, sandwiches, cakes and afternoon tea.
The menu marks GF and GFO (gluten-free optional) items clearly—several breakfast dishes, salads, burgers, steaks, and sides have GF labels. The kitchen is shared with gluten-containing items such as sourdough toast, brioche, and onion rings, so cross-contamination is possible. No dedicated fryer or 100% GF kitchen is claimed. Coeliac society accreditation is not mentioned. A coeliac diner should confirm protocols with the chef, especially for shared fryer items like fries.
The Local Pantry offers a separate gluten-free menu with items like avocado toast, acai bowls, burgers, and pancakes.

The a la carte menu uses GF codes on several dishes (e. g.

Staff awareness is implied but not detailed. Coeliacs should verify with the chef.
