Per-allergen evidence
The venue's own menu marks two main courses as 'Glútenlaust / Gluten free' (the slow cooked lamb shank and the sheep's head), and the menu header asks guests to consult their waiter about allergies. An aggregator listing confirms gluten-free buns and beer are available, and describes the staff as trained and knowledgeable. However, the kitchen is shared and gluten-free items are not systematically marked across the full menu. Cross-contamination risk is managed by staff awareness but no dedicated equipment is mentioned. Coeliac diners should verify procedures on the day.
