Marked menu + dedicated, Allergen-marked menu plus dedicated fryer / prep area. Staff trained. Not a fully dedicated kitchen.

Listed on the Coeliac Society of Ireland's 'Coeliac Catering Trained Restaurants' page, indicating staff have been trained in best practices for coeliac safety. However, multiple independent coeliac diner reports describe serious cross-contamination incidents: barley found in soup, barley grains in black pudding, a regular bread toastie served instead of GF, and a review stating there is no separate prep space or toaster. The venue is not a dedicated GF kitchen. The accreditation is for catering training, not a full kitchen audit, and the volume of negative safety reports from symptomatic coeliacs outweighs the positive reviews.

Honest caveat: Multiple coeliac diners report being served gluten-containing food (barley, regular bread) after explicitly stating their allergy, with at least two resulting in illness.
