Per-allergen evidence
The owner and several staff members are coeliac themselves, which shapes the restaurant’s approach. Multiple reviewers report dedicated equipment, including a fryer, pots, and prep space, though some note the absence of a dedicated fryer. This is not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. The menu clearly marks gluten-free items. Staff are consistently described as knowledgeable. One report of a mild glutening exists, but it is outweighed by numerous asymptomatic visits. There is no formal accreditation.
