Hugs and Sarcasm

Owner's father has coeliac disease, which inspired the venue; the owner states 'we make it so people can enjoy going out and not have to worry'. The kitchen has a dedicated gluten-free fryer, dedicated cooking surface, separate utensils and cutting boards, and all staff are trained. The menu marks gluten-containing items with an asterisk (*). Not a fully dedicated gluten-free kitchen (non-GF items available). Multiple celiac reviewers report no symptoms and feel safe. No formal accreditation from Coeliac UK or other recognised body.
