Per-allergen evidence
The menu marks a few items as gluten-free, including pasta, pizza, and burgers with gluten-free buns. The kitchen is shared, and there is no dedicated fryer, so fries are cross-contaminated. Staff knowledge varies. Some reviewers report well-informed waitresses who check with the chef, while others describe staff who had to run every question back to the kitchen. Both gravy and curry sauce are thickened with flour, which means most dishes cannot be adapted. A gluten-free surcharge is sometimes added, despite the menu stating otherwise. Calling ahead is necessary to confirm current practices and ask about dedicated prep space.
