The gluten free bun on the "foundy" burger was a little sold but as to be expected with GF food lol.

Very tasty food and lots of options that are GF not 100% sure how safe it is for cross contamination however but highly recommend.

Had cool little tablets to order from your table and in the search option even had opitions for "gluten-free" and " gluten-free friendly " When i queried about if the difference ment they had seperate vats and preparation areas they said no that they only have the one vat so nothing deep fried was actually safe. This detail took away 99% of their "gluten free" menu. Ordered a chicken salad minus the crunchy noodles and still reacted to what would be contamination. While the staff were amazing and food was tasty its not worth the risk

I ordered off the gf menu, thought the pizza garlic bread looked amazing when it came out and ate one piece and asked the lady ‘are you sure this is gf? Cause it tastes so good!’

She replied ‘yes! What great feed back!’

Then when I was on my last piece a different waitress came up and said that they made a mistake and the pizza is not gf. I dropped my last piece down in disbelief and the manager came over and was very apologetic, sympathetic and gave us our meals free.

If you go here, make sure you triple check that your meal is gluten free, when it arrives and then maybe one more time for good measure!!!

OK experiences there in the past, but the last two times I have been very sick from a GF Caesar salad & a GF garlic bread. Also to note they use a shared fryer. I am not convinced that they are Celiac safe!

Separate gluten free menu but there is no separate fryer. Waitress checked with chef what else they could offer us. Aware of coeliac and waitress wrote that on dinner order as well as gf. Pizza was pretty good, lots of toppings. Burger a bit dry.
