Trader Jacks does not have a dedicated gluten-free menu or separate fryer, but staff are reported to be knowledgeable about coeliac needs and can guide diners on which items can be prepared safely. Options like fish and chips, pizza, and fries are available, though cross-contamination risk is present due to shared kitchen equipment. Call ahead to confirm current practices.

Honest caveat: Multiple reviews confirm no separate fryer is used, increasing cross-contamination risk for coeliac diners.
