Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 60% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The venue states it 'caters to vegan and gluten-free diets on request' and offers a separate gluten-free menu on request. The kitchen is not 100% gluten-free — it serves dishes containing wheat — so cross-contamination is possible. Call ahead to discuss dedicated preparation and confirm the gluten-free menu is safe for coeliac diners.

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The venue states it 'caters to vegan and gluten-free diets on request' and offers a separate vegan menu on request. However, the kitchen is not 100% vegan — it serves vegetarian dishes that may contain dairy and eggs — so cross-contamination is possible. Best to call ahead and confirm the vegan menu is prepared with dedicated equipment.

Reminder

Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
