Had a lovely meal here, they brought out the allergen chart for me. I did avoid anything fried as on this occasion I wasn't in the mood to ask about fryers, but the food I did have was lovely and I felt completely fine after. Margarita was so good!

Can't cator to any allergens anymore 😔

All sorts of allergens marked on the menu including gluten free to help decide what food you want.

Unfortunately they can no longer catereforr coeliac.

Waiters are clueless, After making it clear I was coeliac and then taking my order and food started getting served the manager came up and said they couldn't cater for any allergens.... I had to sit there and wait for everyone to finish their food.

Not only this they messed up several of our dishes and the staff were rude about it.

Terrible service... Such a shame this place used to be great.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Fully understood cross contamination and explained things well. Also had lots of choice which is a real bonus.

Awesome place to eat. Loads of options, staff knowledgeable and helpful. Always enjoy my experience. I prefer the other branch simply for atmosphere but this one is much bigger so less waiting for a table, and much better for groups.

The staff were very knowledgable, e.g. they informed me which dishes weren’t suitable due to cross contamination without me even having to ask about that. The majority of the menu is naturally gf and the frozen margaritas are amazing! No markings on menu so make sure you ask a member of staff so they can inform you.
