The executive chef has coeliac disease and runs a high-care kitchen with a dedicated gluten-free fryer and separate prep space. Many menu items are naturally gluten-free (calamari in cornmeal, gluten-free fig bread) and the staff is trained on cross-contamination. However, the kitchen is not 100% dedicated; some gluten remains, and confirmation with the chef is necessary.

Gluten-friendly items are marked on the menu. Many locations use a dedicated fryer. The kitchen is shared, however, and the chain explicitly warns that cross-contact is possible. Several coeliac diners have reported getting glutened, and the menu uses 'gluten-friendly' rather than 'gluten-free' labelling. Speaking with a manager is advised for those needing a strict gluten-free meal.

Honest caveat, Multiple coeliac diners report getting glutened at various locations; shared kitchen increases cross-contact risk.
