We’ve eaten here a couple of times. The first time we were super excited as so many things on the menu said GF was available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, it turned out that half the items included deep-fried elements and they didn’t have a separate deep fryer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, the staff didn’t seem too concerned with serving a celiac which was a shame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We found something and the food was yummy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second trip we took, knowing that at least some things were definitely void of deep fried was better. The food is delicious again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We asked again if they had a separate fryer to which we were told no. Then when we enquired a little further were told the second fryer was out of action and they were down to one. But that wasn’t offered at the start so…is it one or two fryers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, confidence is low but yumminess is high. For Celiacs, it’s hard to call but, the foods that don’t include anything deep-fried seem to be a GF option, where marked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have no idea on the separation in the kitchen as the staff don’t seem to care much to answer or investigate sadly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":2742,"parent":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"gluten_free_type":[],"gluten_free_foods":[],"class_list":["post-2741","eats","type-eats","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/eatglutenfree.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/RICE-RICE-BABY-MT-MAUNGANUI3-1024x768.jpeg","ams_acf":[{"key":"dedicated_gf","label":"Is
