Per-allergen evidence
Gluten-free items are marked across the entire Frankie & Benny's menu chain-wide, covering pizza, pasta, burgers, fries, bread and buns, brownies, and ice cream. These dishes are served on a gluten-free flag, and a QR-code allergen filter is available at multiple branches. The Strand and Covent Garden branch specifically does not have a dedicated fryer, according to community insight from FMGF, and it also lacks a dedicated kitchen. Staff knowledge at this branch is inconsistent. Other branches report knowledgeable staff and flagged dishes, but at the Strand one symptomatic-coeliac reviewer left without eating after staff offered cutlery stored next to a malt-vinegar bottle twice, following an initial query of "do you need a tablet?"
