Coeliac · Gluten-free

D
confidence 70%
Not recommended ·what tier D means

Not recommended for gluten-free dining. A documented reviewer found the hummus incorrectly marked GF on the menu, and staff suggested granola as a supposedly gluten-free option without certainty. The venue refused to substitute pitta for potatoes, making safe customisation difficult. The menu itself labels some items GF but a dish marked GF (ciabatta-based steak sandwich) appears inconsistent. There is no evidence of cross-contact controls, dedicated equipment, or staff training. Multiple independent signals point to unsafe practices and poor staff knowledge.

Honest caveat: A documented reviewer found hummus incorrectly marked GF on the menu and staff could not confirm which options were safe, refusing substitutions that would have avoided gluten-containing pitta.
