🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free sandwiches and bread (bread/buns) as part of a gluten-free menu.
  • Gluten-free scones and other GF baked goods.
  • Gluten-free cakes and desserts (including items described as part of a gluten-free afternoon tea).
  • An explicit mention of a gluten-free afternoon tea option and a “free from” menu.
  • Note: While GF items are available, the establishment is not a dedicated GF facility, and cross-contact precautions may vary by visit.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which inherently carries cross-contamination risk.
  • Some guests reported cross-contamination concerns or that staff needed clarification on gluten-free needs, though other reports noted staff were knowledgeable and attentive.
  • A manager or staff member sometimes explained cross-contamination risks when allergies were discussed, indicating some level of safety communication, but not uniform across all visits.
