Maplewood Kitchen and Bar marks several dishes with a 'gluten friendly' (GFr) symbol on its menu, and staff show awareness of coeliac precautions—using allergy pegs and cleaning prep surfaces. However, the kitchen shares a fryer for chips and hash browns with gluten-containing items, and community reviewers warn that these items are not safe for coeliac. The venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Ask staff about dedicated preparation and avoid fried items to minimise risk.

Honest caveat: Dishes marked gluten-friendly may still be contaminated as chips and hash browns are fried in shared oil; not safe for coeliac.
