Gluten Free Information | Holy Moses Tavern

Gluten Free Information

Being gluten free can be stressful when eating out, especially when asking questions about your food. Here at Holy Moses Tavern, we want you to ask! Below are answers to our most frequent gluten-related questions. If you need further information, please do not hesitate to ask. Your safety is our top priority, and we are happy to help any way we can.

Why Did We Decide to Become a Gluten-Free Restaurant?

Owner Angela Moses is gluten free and knows the struggle of eating out all too well. Her goal was to create a welcoming place where gluten-free guests could enjoy their pub favorites without judgment. At Holy Moses Tavern, every item on the menu is available gluten free, not just salad or pizza. Our goal is for you to feel like a regular customer enjoying the same delicious food, without paying double the price for half the portion.

FOOD RELATED QUESTIONS

  • Do you use gluten-based flour in your products?

    The only flour used in our kitchen is Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Flour. Products made elsewhere with gluten-based flour arrive frozen and bagged to reduce the risk of airborne contamination.

  • Are gluten-containing products separated from gluten-free products?

    Yes! Our gluten-free products are kept separate. We have a separate freezer and storage area, as well as dedicated containers for storing our gluten-free products.

  • How do you have food items that aren't offered gluten free elsewhere?

    Before opening the restaurant, we looked everywhere for the best-tasting gluten-free products we could find. Several typical fried pub favorites were not available gluten free, so we started making our own! Several items are made from scratch in-house by the owners, who created a multi-use fry batter for favorites such as our onion rings.

  • Are all of your food products available gluten free?

    Yes! Every item on our menu is available gluten free.

  • How do I know my food is gluten free when it comes out?

    We use "No Gluten" food sticks to identify gluten-free orders. If your food arrives without one, please double-check with the bartender before eating. Sometimes the kitchen staff may forget to add the stick while getting your food out hot. We would much rather you ask than take the risk.

Cross-Contamination Issues

  • Do you have a dedicated separate fryer and cooking equipment?

    Yes! We have a separate fryer for our gluten-free customers, as well as a separate pizza oven.

  • Do you prepare food on a separate counter, with separate utensils and equipment?

    Yes! We have a dedicated area in the kitchen with its own utensils and equipment for gluten-free preparation, including cutting pizzas and saucing chicken wings.

  • Is there a risk of airborne contamination with gluten-based flour?

    No gluten-based flour is used in making our food products from scratch. We use only Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Flour for our scratch-made food products. Products containing gluten-based flour that are made elsewhere arrive frozen and bagged.

  • Are your employees trained to prevent cross-contamination?

    Yes! All of our employees are educated and trained in cross-contamination prevention techniques. We continually update our procedures and provide our team with information regularly. Your safety is our top priority!

Please Plan for Wait Times

Wait times can vary because we have only one dedicated gluten-free fryer and pizza oven. Large groups are encouraged to call in advance to reduce wait times.
