Tips
Celiac
Ask for the gluten free menu! The main menu has a mark for NGCI but doesn’t use it for any of the meals even though many are. They ask about allergies when you’re ordering but also have a totally separate gluten free menu that they won’t necessarily think to supply you with unless you ask—chock it up to being a busy restaurant—but they did definitely remember my celiac and even pointed out that one of their cocktails contains gluten as I was about to order it.

Had lunch here mid week. Even though they were busy and we didn't have a reservation that went out of their way to accommodate a family of four. We had the 2 course for £17.95. Great food and great value for money. Staff were awesome and knew rheir way around GF. Can highly recommend.

we ate here one night, it’s a super popular place. I had high hopes and it did not really live up to the expectations I had. it was safe and I did not get sick, but the food is over priced.

Had dinner here catered to starter and main for gluten free and offered us gluten free shortbread at the end of the meal, we’re very good at explaining all options
