Per-allergen evidence

Coeliac · Gluten-free

B
confidence 70%

Dudley's menu labels items GF or GFO. Community reviews praise staff knowledge of coeliac needs. The venue's own allergen notice states all food is prepared in a shared kitchen and may contain trace amounts of gluten. No dedicated gluten-free kitchen or fryer exists. A coeliac diner should confirm practices directly with staff, especially on busy days when menu modifications are restricted.

Honest caveat: The allergen notice explicitly warns that food may contain trace amounts of gluten due to shared kitchen equipment.

Vegan

B
confidence 70%

The venue has a separate vegan menu. Pizza bases are dairy-free, so they're suitable for vegans, and this is confirmed by the establishment itself. Several reviews on aggregators specifically highlight that separate vegan menu and describe positive experiences there. But the kitchen uses shared equipment. The allergen notice warns about possible cross-contact with animal products. A vegan diner should ask for the separate menu, then confirm all ingredients carefully with staff.

Honest caveat: The allergen notice states food is prepared in a shared kitchen and may contain trace amounts of non-vegan allergens.

Dairy-free

B
confidence 65%

Pizza bases are dairy-free and explicitly described as suitable for vegans, and some menu items may also be dairy-free by nature, but the venue's allergen notice lists dairy as present in the kitchen and warns of cross-contact. Those with dairy intolerance should ask staff about specific dishes and note the shared kitchen risk.

Honest caveat: Allergen notice warns of trace dairy due to shared kitchen and equipment.

Vegetarian

B
confidence 60%

Many items are marked V. The kitchen says it can handle dietary needs, and a separate vegan menu hints that vegetarian options are plentiful. But cross-contact warnings apply. For vegetarian diners who aren't overly sensitive to trace animal products, this shared kitchen remains a reliable choice.

Honest caveat: No specific safety incidents reported; cross-contact is possible in the shared kitchen.

Nut-free

C
confidence 50%
Best effort ·what tier C means

Peanuts and tree nuts are handled in the kitchen, and the allergen notice states the venue will endeavour to provide alternatives upon request, though no nut-free items are specifically marked on the menu. A shared kitchen disclaimer warns of trace nut presence. Diners with severe nut allergies should call ahead to discuss their needs.

Honest caveat: Cross-contact risk is acknowledged in the shared kitchen; no dedicated nut-free preparation area.
advance notice required

Egg-free

C
confidence 50%
Best effort ·what tier C means

The allergen notice lists egg as a known allergen handled in the kitchen, and the venue says it will try to provide alternatives upon request. No egg-free menu items are specifically marked, and the shared kitchen warning applies. Diners with egg allergy should contact the venue in advance to discuss safe options.

Honest caveat: Cross-contact possible; no dedicated egg-free preparation area.
advance notice required

Soy-free

C
confidence 45%
Best effort ·what tier C means

Soybean is a kitchen allergen. The notice warns it's present in the space, and the venue says it will try to offer alternatives. No soy-free items are marked on the menu. Because the kitchen is shared, cross-contact is a real possibility. Soy-allergic diners should ask the restaurant directly before ordering.

Honest caveat: No specific soy-free options identified; shared kitchen risk.
advance notice required

Shellfish-free

C
confidence 45%
Best effort ·what tier C means

Dudley's kitchen uses crustaceans and seafood. The allergen notice confirms their presence and states that alternatives will be attempted upon request. There are no shellfish-free menu markings beyond the general GF or GFO codes on some seafood dishes. Because the kitchen is shared, cross-contact is a concern. Calling ahead to discuss safe options is advisable.

Honest caveat: No dedicated shellfish-free preparation; shared kitchen warning applies.
advance notice required
