What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Fries prepared gluten-free (noted as being ready for gf diners).
- Gluten-free options at dinner and breakfast (GF menu availability; explicit accommodations mentioned in reviews).
- Gluten-free afternoon tea items (including GF bread; the afternoon tea menu is described as GF, with bread appearing to be GF).
- Gluten-free scones (explicitly mentioned in gf-focused dining experiences).
- Gluten-free cakes/desserts (referenced as part of the gluten-free menu items).
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The core facility is not a dedicated gluten-free environment, which can entail cross-contamination risks, especially for highly sensitive individuals.
- Despite this, diners have consistently reported careful handling, GF menus, and staff who are knowledgeable about celiac needs, with successful GF options for meals and events like afternoon tea.
- There is mention of specialized GF items (e.g., GF afternoon tea) and explicit accommodations when guests communicated dietary needs in advance, which mitigates, but does not eliminate, risk.
