Per-allergen evidence
Navarro Lounge is part of The Lounges chain and offers a separate gluten-free menu with around 55 GF meal options. Allergen orders must be placed at the bar with a manager or trained staff, who explain the kitchen's protocol. Multiple coeliac reviewers report a dedicated fryer, a separate prep area, and food flagged as GF. However, one reviewer warns that some items marked GF on the menu actually 'may contain' gluten, and a recent (May 2026) review of another branch says the chain now issues a 'may contain' warning on all food. The kitchen is shared, not 100% dedicated. Cross-contamination risk is reduced but not eliminated; always confirm specific choices with the manager.
