Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 70%

The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Community reports consistently mention a dedicated gluten-free fryer, a separate grill for gluten-free items, and clearly marked gluten-free items on the menu. The owner is described as very knowledgeable about gluten and cross-contamination. One sauce contains gluten and is marked. A small number of mild reactions have been reported, so those with coeliac disease should confirm practices directly with staff.

Honest caveat: A small number of community reviews report mild symptoms after eating, and the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility.
