The Kestrel

Gluten-free items are marked on the menu and a dedicated fryer is consistently reported by multiple reviews on FindMeGlutenFree. Staff are described as knowledgeable about gluten-free needs. However, the kitchen is shared and the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination is possible. Call ahead to confirm current practices.

Per-allergen evidence

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 70% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

Gluten-free items are marked on the menu and a dedicated fryer is consistently reported by multiple reviews on FindMeGlutenFree. Staff are described as knowledgeable about gluten-free needs. However, the kitchen is shared and the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination is possible. Call ahead to confirm current practices.

Honest caveat: The venue is NOT a dedicated gluten-free facility; one review reports no dedicated fryer.

Dairy-free

confidence 30% ·

Limited information, Thin positive signal only: a stray menu callout, a single passing review mention, or generic dietary marketing without specifics. Not enough to assess kitchen practice. Call ahead and confirm before relying on it.

One review on FindMeGlutenFree mentions a coeliac and dairy-free child visited, but no specific information about dairy-free kitchen practices, menu marking, or cross-contamination protocols is available. This is too thin to assess kitchen capability reliably; call ahead to ask about dairy-free options.

Reminder

Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
