Per-allergen evidence
Menu marks individual dishes GF (e.g. Sydney Rock Oysters GF/DF, Tiger Prawn Cocktail GF/DF, Grilled Swordfish DF/GF, Grilled Steak GF/DF). The venue's own disclaimer states the kitchen 'handles nuts, shellfish, and gluten' and cannot guarantee allergen-free food. FindMeGlutenFree community reports no dedicated fryer. Multiple coeliac reviewers report GF items available and staff willing to add a coeliac note to orders, but at least one recent reviewer (6 months ago) reports 'no GF pizza' and describes it as 'really, really poor choice for coeliacs', while another advises only the raw bar is coeliac-safe.

No explicit 'pescatarian' marking, but the combination of fish dishes and vegetarian-marked items provides adequate guidance. Shared kitchen with meat (pork, chicken, beef).
The venue's menu disclaimer states the kitchen 'handles nuts'. The kids' meals section warns that nuts are a common allergen and cross-contamination may occur. No marked NF dishes appear on the menu. Staff are advised to be informed of allergies, but the venue provides no structural nut-free provision.
The venue states its kitchen handles shellfish. Several shellfish dishes appear on the menu, including oysters, prawns, scallops, and squid. No system for marking items as shellfish-free was evident. Staff can be told about allergies, but no structural provision for a shellfish-free meal is documented.
Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
