⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is an inherent cross-contamination risk, especially around shared equipment and bread handling.
  • Several diners reported concerns about toasters and bread preparation, with some noting that GF bread was toasted separately or that cross-contamination could occur if gloves aren’t changed or if standard bread is nearby.
  • While staff have shown knowledge and willingness to accommodate, the variability in evidence across recent experiences means diners should communicate clearly about their own safety needs and confirm current practices onsite.
