Per-allergen evidence
The owner's father has coeliac disease, which inspired the venue; the owner states that the restaurant makes it so people can enjoy going out and not have to worry. A dedicated gluten-free fryer, dedicated cooking surface, separate utensils and cutting boards are used in the kitchen, and all staff are trained. Gluten-containing items are marked on the menu with an asterisk (*). The kitchen is not fully dedicated to gluten-free, as non-gluten-free items are available. Multiple coeliac reviewers report no symptoms and feel safe. No formal accreditation from Coeliac UK or other recognised body is held.
