The General Store

Multiple published guides (Foodiemag, EatOut) state that The General Store offers gluten-free bread, gluten-free brownies (occasionally), and gluten-free cakes. The venue's own in-store menu (source official-menu-the-generalstore-co-za-2) does not mark GF items per dish, and no dedicated kitchen or fryer is mentioned. Staff can accommodate GF requests, but no certification or insider-led protocols are documented. Coeliac diners should call ahead and expect shared preparation surfaces.
