⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- While the environment is described as dedicated GF and GF-focused, there are occasional reports from the broader community about breaded items or batter that could introduce cross-contact if not carefully handled.
- In some notes, one item (cod) has been described as having beer in the batter; some accounts indicate this may be managed with separate fryers or careful preparation, but it remains a potential risk if specific items are selected.
- Given the small space and common GF claims, it’s prudent to verify safety for any specific dish at the moment of ordering, especially for items that are traditionally battered or fried.
