GF items are clearly marked on the physical menu, confirmed by multiple self-identified coeliac and symptomatic-coeliac diners on FindMeGlutenFree.
Per-allergen evidence
GF items are clearly marked on the physical menu, confirmed by multiple self-identified coeliac and symptomatic-coeliac diners on FindMeGlutenFree. No dedicated kitchen exists, confirmed explicitly by one reviewer and by the venue's own disclaimer that it cannot guarantee that trace elements may not be present. The dedicated fryer is the most contested structural point: two symptomatic-coeliac reviewers affirm it exists, including one who received a direct staff explanation of a separate fryer due to high demand from the coeliac community, while one self-identified coeliac reviewer who called ahead reported being told to avoid the chips, implying a shared or unsafe fryer at the time of her visit. Staff are consistently described as knowledgeable, and the kitchen accepts allergen notifications. The majority of the menu is naturally GF. Rated C on the balance of evidence, but the fryer conflict means this is closer to a hard C than a comfortable one; coeliacs who react to low-level contamination should call ahead to confirm current fryer practice.
