Gluten-free items are clearly marked on the with a dedicated symbol. The kitchen is shared and uses a fryer, so cross-contact is possible. Staff are knowledgeable about coeliac needs and will 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.

Gluten-free items are clearly marked on the with a dedicated symbol. The kitchen is shared and uses a fryer, so cross-contact is possible.

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

confidence 70% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

Two dishes are marked N (Contains nuts) on the menu: the arctic char with peanut butter sauce and the baked cauliflower with peanut crumble. A reviewer with a severe peanut allergy had a safe experience after staff confirmed no peanuts were used in the kitchen at that time. However the menu itself lists peanut-containing dishes, so nuts are present in the building. Staff are knowledgeable and will adjust dishes on request.

The menu marks dishes with LF (Lactose free) and the allergen key defines LF as lactose-free. Multiple mains and a starter carry this marking. The kitchen uses dairy products (butter, skyr, cream) in other dishes, so cross-contact is possible. Daisy-free diners have reported positive experiences.
