Marked menu + dedicated, Allergen-marked menu plus dedicated fryer / prep area. Staff trained. Not a fully dedicated kitchen.

Separate gluten-free menu with dedicated fryer; staff clean kitchen space before preparing GF food. Two symptomatic coeliac diners report no reaction. However, the kitchen is inside a pub that serves non-GF food, and FindMeGlutenFree explicitly states it is NOT a dedicated gluten-free facility. Cross-contamination risk remains.
