The Black Jug

confidence 90% ·

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

Coeliac UK accredited (listed on their venue directory) with a dedicated gluten-free fryer, dedicated kitchen space, and staff trained on coeliac safety. The menu marks GF and GFA items clearly, and multiple coeliac diners report no symptoms across visits. Food is prepared in a shared kitchen with cross-contamination controls, but the venue has robust protocols including separate preparation areas and flagged orders.
