⚠️ Coeliac vs Gluten-Free: Why This Matters
Going gluten-free by choice and being coeliac are not the same thing. If you have coeliac disease, even small amounts of gluten from shared fryers, serving spoons, chopping boards or buffet tongs can be a problem.
That means you should always:
- Tell staff you have coeliac disease, not just that you prefer gluten-free
- Ask to see the allergen information
- Check whether food is prepared separately
- Be careful with buffets and shared serving areas
- Avoid assuming chips, sauces or desserts are safe

Best for: Coeliac guests who want the safest, calmest dining experience.

Why they can work: Buffets often have naturally gluten-free items like meats, rice, vegetables and salads.
