- pasta can be made completely separate (no cross-contamination) - they use an convection oven (possible cross-contamination)

We went here for lunch because we found out there’s a menu for celiac. And we were really happy about the gluten-free food, the pizza was yummy and they have many other gluten-free options (there’s a separate menu) like pasta, fries, desserts, salads or garlic bread. The restaurant is certificated by Coeliac UK to be safe for celiacs.

Great food and great service. Gluten-Free options are on the normal menu and before you order anything they already ask about diet wishes.

Extensive gluten free options. Menu had a QR code where you could check for any “may contain” which was useful. I had garlic bread and cheesecake, neither of which I have seen in a long time. Food was very tasty. Service was a little slow as they explained they would make the food prep area safe which made me feel extra safe when dining.
