The café's own website explicitly states it is a 'vegetarian and vegan café oasis', indicating a strong commitment to vegan dining. The menu is plant-based, so vegan options are the norm. No dedicated vegan kitchen is mentioned, but the venue's identity as a vegan café suggests high awareness and accommodation.
The menu marks several dishes as GF (gluten-free), including Truffle Poached Chicken, Fish & Chips, Sirloin, Hand Cut Chips, Broccolini, and the Raspberry Ripe dessert. The kitchen is shared with gluten-containing items (pasta, bread, burgers on brioche buns), so cross-contamination is possible. Staff will work around specific allergies when notified at booking, but there is no dedicated fryer or separate prep area mentioned.
Duck Duck Moose has strong gluten-free awareness: they use only gluten-free flour for baking, mark GF items on the menu (Goddess Fritters, Veggie Bean Nachos), and have a coeliac staff member. The kitchen is shared with gluten-containing items, and some GF baked goods sit next to regular ones, so cross-contamination is possible. Staff are knowledgeable and will check ingredients (e.g., swapping ice cream with a 'may contain gluten' warning for whipped cream).
Several vegan dishes are available, including sabzi korma, hatho brinjal, and buckwheat roti. The menu is not marked for vegan items, but staff will accommodate when asked. Specify no dairy when ordering.
