Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Gluten-free items are marked on the menu, but the kitchen is not dedicated; gluten-based baking occurs on premises and multiple celiac diners report reactions. Staff knowledge is inconsistent. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged by the aggregator and several reviewers.

Honest caveat: Multiple celiac diners report reactions; kitchen shares space with gluten-based baking.

Dairy-free

confidence 0.40 ·

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

One FindMeGlutenFree review mentions the venue is 'good for dairy-free', but no marked menu or dedicated protocols are confirmed. Accommodation likely depends on staff knowledge.
