Father's Office Speakeasy Bar and Restaurant

I read online that it was safe for coeliacs due to the seperate fryer, but staff didn’t seem very confident about it and weren’t able to answer my questions very well. The environment was also very unclean and loud. Not a good place for a dinner.

The menu had a bunch of gluten free options and there was even a not at the bottom saying that all gf items were cooked in a separate fryer - HOWEVER after we ordered they came back and said that they recently changed the menu and they don’t have separated fryers anymore. Frustrating because it cut our coeliac options in half but dealt with it.

Had the GF Parma and chips. Was told chips had a seperate fryer and staff seemed to understand coeliac (although as anywhere that has gluten foods can’t guarantee no cross contamination). The meal was amazing and the service was great. Was also assured the ice wasn’t kept under the beer taps but staff were still happy to serve drinks with no ice anyway.

Was not overly impressed with the food. The GF wings were sub-par. Definitely better places out there.
