Coeliac · Gluten-free

C
confidence 50%
Best effort ·what tier C means

Multiple user reviews mention gluten-free options such as gluten-free buns and gluten-free pizza, and the venue is listed on gluten-free directories. The kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free, and no information about cross-contamination practices, including whether a dedicated fryer or separate preparation areas are in use, is available. The venue's own website does not mention gluten-free practices. Best to call ahead and confirm with staff.

Honest caveat: No information about cross-contamination mitigation is available from any source.
