Scarecrow Mediterranean Cafe

GF options available on request — the venue's own kitchen page states 'Many of our dishes can be made Gluten-Friendly. Just ask the team!' No dedicated kitchen and no dedicated fryer confirmed across multiple community reviews. Staff knowledge is variable: several symptomatic-celiac diners report staff consulting the chef and cleaning prep surfaces before preparing GF orders, while a separate reviewer noted staff 'had little knowledge around gluten free.' The official menu page carries no per-dish allergen codes, though some community reviewers note partial GF marking. The venue carries no Coeliac UK or equivalent accreditation.

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

Honest caveat: One symptomatic-celiac reviewer reported a post-meal reaction they attributed to cross-contamination, and a separate celiac reviewer documented staff declining to accommodate a coeliac child's simple menu request.

No dedicated dairy-free prep area or menu marking confirmed.
