I went there today. Told them I was Coeliac, they did everything they could to ensure no cross contamination, they have a dedicated fryer. I had the chicken burger, it was amazing. the GF bun was great too.

Review
Have been here several times had have no issues. The staff there are very knowledgeable, one is even a coeliac and said she always eats their food. They have a separate fryer for anything gluten free, but most of their fried food is gluten free by default. They are part of a chain and all of the locations I have been to are safe as well.
