Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Gluten-free items are marked on the menu and staff are generally knowledgeable, but the kitchen is not dedicated. Past reports have noted cross-contamination risks such as shared strainers for rice noodles and non-dedicated frying oil. While many coeliac diners report positive experiences and some mention a dedicated fryer, the evidence is inconsistent and the venue warns it is NOT a dedicated gluten-free facility.
