The menu is extensively marked with a vegetarian symbol on many dishes including focaccia, olives, arancini, burrata, broccoli, rocket salad, shoestring fries, gnocchi gorgonzola, tagliolini porcini, kids' pizzas, pasta, and desserts like tiramisu and cannoli. HappyCow lists the venue as offering vegetarian options with lacto-ovo choices. The markings are clear, and a wide selection of vegetarian starters, mains, pizzas, and desserts is available. Most dishes are traditional Italian, so pasta and pizza options are plentiful. Non-vegetarian items (calamari, beef, lamb, seafood dishes, ham-based pizzas) are not marked, making it easy to identify suitable choices.

Many dishes are vegetarian. The menu marks numerous v options like dumplings, bao buns, curries, salads, and sides, while HappyCow lists the venue as 'Lacto, Ovo' with veg-options, but since the shared kitchen also cooks fish, meat, and seafood, cross-contamination is possible. Still, the breadth of marked veggie options is good.

Vegetarian options are clearly marked with 'V' tags across the menu, including the sourdough crumpets, strawberry pancakes, eggs your way, twice-baked cheese soufflé, and white chocolate crémeux. A separate Little Ones menu also features vegetarian dishes. In the kitchen, meat, fish, and vegetarian ingredients are all handled in the same shared space, so cross-contact is possible. Staff can guide vegetarians to suitable choices.

The group dining menu identifies vegetarian items with a (v). The 'Bread Social Sourdough' and several canapés carry this marking. A vegetarian pasta appears on the bottomless lunch menu. Diners can request dietary requirements at booking. Because the shared kitchen handles a large amount of seafood and meat, vegetarian diners should confirm their needs in advance.
