Our waitress was lovely and helpful but I didn’t feel entirely safe eating here despite other reviews. She explained most of the fryer items were prepared at the front and would be safe but anything prepared out back in the pizza area would be contaminated from all the flour (and said they would use same trays etc for GF pizza) and anything on the grill was out as bread was toasted on the grill. She left the aioli off the fries as it wasn’t GF. I also noticed there was a frekkah salad labelled GF on the menu. I was okay with the fries, fried chicken, apple salad and pakora but felt a bit uneasy overall. Lots labelled GF on the menu but would recommend having a good discussion to find out what is coeliac safe.
