Per-allergen evidence
Multiple community reports indicate a dedicated gluten-free kitchen space, dedicated pans, and a chef who follows a gluten-free diet themselves. The venue's menu explicitly labels several dishes as gluten-free. However, the menu also contains wheat-containing items and does not specify dedicated fryers for the gluten-free fried dishes. The kitchen now serves meat and fish, though whether shared equipment is used remains unclear. Multiple coeliac reviewers report safe meals. Call ahead to confirm current practices.

No other source discusses egg or describes how the kitchen handles egg avoidance. The venue's own menu does not include egg markings or egg-free designations. This is a limited signal, and a call ahead is advisable.
One source (Wanderlog aggregator) lists 'No MSG' as part of a dietary summary, which is not a direct statement about soy. No other information about soy avoidance is available. Call ahead to ask about soy-free options.
Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
