Questions about Cook's Castle

Does Cook's Castle have gluten-free options?

No dish is marked gluten free as served, from the menu read 10 Nov 2026. Each dish shows whether the venue labelled it or it was read from the ingredients.

Is Cook's Castle coeliac friendly?

The venue notes: “FOR ALLERGEN INFORMATION - PLEASE CHECK MENU (printed on the online ordering page).”. Eatcrush reads each venue’s own menu and says where every answer came from. It never calls a dish safe: kitchens share fryers, boards and flour, and menus change. If you have coeliac disease or an allergy, confirm with staff before you order.
