B
confidence 65%

The official menu marks items GF and GFO (gluten-free option), and gluten-free buns are available for a surcharge. However, the kitchen is shared with wheat-containing items and a 'MODIFICATIONS KINDLY DECLINED' policy limits customisation. Community reports across the chain describe cross-contamination incidents, including a Nima sensor testing positive for gluten. Confirm current kitchen practices directly with staff before ordering.

Honest caveat: Multiple gluten-reaction reports and a Nima sensor test across Loving Hut outlets indicate significant cross-contamination risk for coeliac diners.
