Per-allergen evidence

Coeliac · Gluten-free

B
confidence 80%

Gluten-free items are clearly marked on the menu with a dedicated symbol. The kitchen is shared and uses a fryer, so cross-contact is possible. Staff are knowledgeable about coeliac needs and flag orders to the kitchen, but one recent reviewer was warned by staff themselves that flour dust is present in the air, and a small number of coeliac diners have reported mild reactions. GF bread is served but comes from a shared oven. The restaurant is not a dedicated GF facility.

Honest caveat: Staff have warned diners that flour is present in the air and cross-contamination happens constantly.

Nut-free

B
confidence 70%

The menu marks two dishes with an N for nuts: the arctic char with peanut butter sauce and the baked cauliflower with peanut crumble. A reviewer who has a severe peanut allergy reported a safe experience after staff confirmed that no peanuts were used in the kitchen at that time. Because the menu includes peanut-containing dishes, nuts are present in the building. Staff are knowledgeable and will adjust dishes on request.
