The butterfly and the pig

The restaurant uses a dedicated gluten-free fryer. Multiple independent reports from coeliac diners confirm that staff understand cross-contamination risks. Menu items are clearly marked GF. The kitchen is not 100% dedicated, and no current accreditation from a recognised body is cited. A large sample of positive coeliac reviews over many years, combined with the dedicated fryer, marked menu, and consistently knowledgeable staff, makes this a strongly trusted choice for coeliac-safe dining in Glasgow.

Multiple vegan options are available, including a vegan breakfast, vegan afternoon tea, a breaded aubergine burger, and weekly-changing vegan specials. HappyCow lists separate vegan and gluten-free deep fryers. However, the menu does not consistently mark vegan items, and the venue serves meat, so cross-contamination risk exists in a shared kitchen. Staff are reported as accommodating but the menu lacks per-dish vegan symbols.

Community reviewers note vegetarian options at the venue, with the menu including items like vegetable frittata, soup, and halloumi salad. Meat is served in a shared kitchen, and vegetarian items are not marked on the menu. Staff can accommodate requests.

One knowledgeable customer report on HappyCow notes a server explained they have three deep fryers (one for everyone, one gluten-free, one vegan), and the reviewer felt safe with a shellfish allergy. Another FindMeGlutenFree review warns that fish comes from the same fishmonger bucket as prawns, which is a specific cross-contamination risk for shellfish. The venue does not mark shellfish on the menu.

Multiple community reports on FindMeGlutenFree and HappyCow indicate the venue handles dairy-free requests well and staff can accommodate them. The menu identifies gluten-free items but does not label every dish for dairy-free. Because the kitchen is shared, cross-contamination remains a possibility. However, the restaurant operates a dedicated gluten-free fryer that also serves dairy-free fries.
