Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 55% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

The venue describes itself as 'gluten free friendly' and marks some dishes as vegetarian/vegan, but does not mark gluten-free items on the menu. A dedicated gluten-free fryer is reported in one community review, but the kitchen is shared and the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Staff are described as knowledgeable and helpful in some reviews. No gluten-free bread alternative is available. Cross-contamination risk is present; call ahead to discuss your needs.

Honest caveat: No gluten-free bread alternative available, which may limit options for coeliac diners.
