Per-allergen evidence
Pieminister offers a separate gluten-free menu, and most of its regular pies are also available in a GF version. Multiple reviews indicate a dedicated GF fryer, staff who ask whether a diner has coeliac disease or an intolerance, and precautions such as fresh mash and gravy to avoid cross-contact. Pies are made offsite and heated in the same oven, but kept on the top rack or prepared separately. The venue claims Coeliac UK certification, though this is unverifiable from the source. It is not a dedicated GF facility, but strong practices are in place for coeliac diners.
