Before you go
Kitchens change — menus, owners, fryers, staff. Evidence dates tell you when we last saw proof, not what is true today. Always confirm directly with the venue at the time of your visit, say explicitly that it's coeliac disease, and trust your own questions over any listing — including ours.
