Dark Arts Cafe & Bar

GF items are marked on the menu and several community reviews report a dedicated gluten-free fryer, rice flour used for chips, and knowledgeable staff. However the kitchen is shared and the venue is not a dedicated GF facility. Coeliac diners have reported no reactions, but cross-contamination risk exists; confirm safety measures directly with staff.

Vegan

confidence 65% ·

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

Vegan dishes are clearly marked on the menu with 'VG' codes, and the kitchen offers a range of vegan options. One incident of non-vegan cheese being served mistakenly has been reported, indicating training gaps. Most recent reviews describe plentiful, tasty vegan choices. Shared kitchen with meat and dairy, so caution is advised.

Dairy-free

confidence 50% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

A community member notes that the venue caters for gluten and dairy free on request. One review mentions finding butter on a toast ordered vegan, suggesting dairy items can slip into orders. No dedicated dairy-free menu or equipment noted. Best to call ahead.

Reminder

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