Wildflower Cafe
The owner has coeliac disease, so the kitchen is highly attuned to gluten-free needs. There is a dedicated gluten-free fryer, and staff are knowledgeable about cross-contamination. The menu includes gluten-free options like fish and chips and fries, but the kitchen is not 100% dedicated—gluten-containing items are also prepared on site. Multiple coeliac diners report safe experiences.
