W Holistic Retreat

The venue is widely reported as a dedicated gluten-free kitchen by multiple community sources (FindMeGlutenFree, Wanderlog, theceliacmd.com), and the official menu uses rice flour for bread, pizza, and pasta. However, no independent accreditation or detailed cross-contact protocols are documented, and one review notes that non-GF items are also available. The kitchen appears to be strongly trusted for coeliac safety, but call ahead to confirm current practices.

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

The venue is widely reported as a dedicated gluten-free kitchen by multiple community sources (FindMeGlutenFree, Wanderlog, theceliacmd.com), and the official menu uses rice flour for bread, pizza, and pasta. However, no independent accreditation or detailed cross-contact protocols are documented, and one review notes that non-GF items are also available. The kitchen appears to be strongly trusted for coeliac safety, but call ahead to confirm current practices.

Honest caveat: One user review on FindMeGlutenFree states 'non-gf items are also available', contradicting the dedicated GF claim.

Soy-free

confidence 50% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

The official menu lists soy-based ingredients (soy milk, soy meat) as core components. No soy-free options are mentioned, and cross-contact is not addressed. Best effort: staff may accommodate if asked, but soy is a primary ingredient.

Honest caveat: Soy is a primary ingredient in the kitchen; soy-free diners should call ahead to confirm options.
