Elnecot

Elnecot is a shared-kitchen restaurant with an open kitchen that also handles gluten. Multiple coeliac diners report that staff are knowledgeable about coeliac disease and will prepare meals away from gluten products, using a dedicated fryer for some items. Menu items containing gluten are clearly marked, and many dishes can be made gluten-free (burgers with GF buns, Sunday roasts, small plates). However, the kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free, and one reviewer noted the GF bun was a pre-packaged supermarket loaf. Cross-contamination risk is managed but not eliminated; coeliac diners should confirm procedures with staff each visit.

Dairy-free

confidence 50% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Elnecot is listed on FindMeGlutenFree as 'good for dairy-free', and some menu items can be made dairy-free. However, there is no dedicated dairy-free kitchen or equipment, and the menu does not consistently mark dairy-free options. Diners with dairy intolerance should speak to staff about specific dishes.
