Per-allergen evidence
Listed on the Coeliac Society of Ireland's 'Coeliac Catering Trained Restaurants' page, which indicates that staff have received training in best practices for coeliac safety. Multiple independent coeliac diner reports describe serious cross-contamination incidents. Barley was found in soup. Barley grains appeared in black pudding. A regular bread toastie was served instead of a gluten-free one. One review states there is no separate preparation space or toaster. The venue is not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. The accreditation covers catering training, not a full kitchen audit. The volume of negative safety reports from symptomatic coeliacs outweighs the positive reviews.
