Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.
The venue offers gluten-free burger buns and some gluten-free bowl options, as confirmed by the venue's own site and an Instagram post. The kitchen is shared with gluten-containing items (seitan, regular buns), so cross-contamination is possible. Staff can accommodate when asked, but there is no dedicated gluten-free kitchen or accreditation.
