The Dirty Onion and Yardbird

I booked here off the back of reviews on the FMGF app and wrote in the booking that I had coeliac disease.

I was called by a member of the team to explain that they had no GF menu but a number of the items on the menu were gluten free and they used a separate fryer for chips. She explained that she couldn’t guarantee that there would be no CC. She asked me how severe my reactions were because the spices they use for the chicken ‘may contain traces of gluten’.

Due to this I cancelled the booking.

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— No gluten-free information on the menu

Went here as I'd heard good things about the food. I asked the waitress if they had gluten free options, expecting a lack of choice based on the type of restaurant it was. However, she informed me that everything was gluten free aside from the burger buns and crispy onions. They coat their fried food in cornflour.

I ordered the chicken wings and sweet potato fries, they were both cooked really well and were served exceptionally quickly. The waitress was lovely and we had a great experience here. I'd definitely recommend giving this place a go. I would have gone back if I was in Northern Ireland for longer!

Good restaurant! Can only eat the rotisserie chicken and a few sides but is very tasty. Excellent chicken and had no reactions.
