Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 0.60 ·

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

Dairy-free

confidence 0.80 ·

Not appropriate, Documented unsafe, multiple negative reports, or refuses to accommodate. Surfaced to warn rather than recommend.

Menu marks 'dairy free' options, but a documented HappyCow review (Jul 2025) reports that a dairy-allergic diner ordered a dairy-free modification, was assured it was dairy-free, yet the dish contained butter, causing vomiting. This indicates the kitchen cannot reliably accommodate dairy-free requests despite menu labels. Not appropriate for dairy allergy.
