Despite the menu specifying multiple “gluten free” options, the fryer is not separate and staff state that they cannot confirm their menu is safe for those with gluten allergies or celiac.

Separate fryer and grill for gluten free. No cabinet food though and you need to ask what is gluten free as not noted on menu

We stopped in for coffee and something for morning tea. There was only one gf item available in the cabinet but it was nice. The server went to double check that it was safe for a coeliac without being asked. Only giving 4 stars because of lack of other choices in cabinet ;). We didn’t check the menu for gf options so there may have been more there.

Very positive experience here, was asked if I was coeliac when ordering and assured that they had a separate fryer for fries. I ordered a burger and fries which were both very tasty. Highly recommend checking out their musical toilet too!

Loved this place! Had an awesome burger and fries done in a separate gf fryer and a choc milkshake. Got a slice to take away tomorrow. Everyone else (not gf) enjoyed it and the kids loved the toys in the separate lounge area, plus the outside blackboard boat & piano. I loved the retro decor too.
