Per-allergen evidence
One of the owners has coeliac disease, so the kitchen is highly aware and takes cross-contamination seriously. The menu marks GF items, and multiple community reports confirm a dedicated gluten-free fryer and knowledgeable staff. However, the kitchen is not fully dedicated (some reports note shared prep space) and the venue's own disclaimer says it may not be safe for coeliac disease. Cross-contamination risk is managed but not eliminated. Call ahead for comfort level.
