Dudley's

Dudley's menu marks many items GF or GFO (gluten-free option available), and community reviews praise staff understanding of coeliac needs. However, the venue's own allergen notice states all food is prepared in a shared kitchen and may contain trace amounts of gluten. There is no dedicated gluten-free kitchen or fryer. A coeliac diner should confirm practices directly with staff, especially on busy days when menu modifications are restricted.

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

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

Vegan

confidence 70% ·

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 offers a separate vegan menu and confirms that pizza bases are dairy-free and suitable for vegans. Several reviews on aggregators note the separate vegan menu and positive experience. However, the kitchen uses shared equipment and the allergen notice warns of potential cross-contact with animal products. A vegan diner should ask for the separate menu and confirm ingredients with staff.

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

Vegetarian

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.

Many menu items are marked V (vegetarian), and the kitchen states it can accommodate dietary needs. A separate vegan menu also implies vegetarian options are readily available. The shared kitchen and cross-contact warning apply, but for vegetarian (not vegan) diners who are less sensitive to trace animal products, this is a reliable choice.

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

Dairy-free

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.

Pizza bases are explicitly described as dairy-free and suitable for vegans, and some menu items may be dairy-free by nature. However, the venue's allergen notice lists dairy as an allergen present in the kitchen and warns of cross-contact. Diners 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.

Nut-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.

The allergen notice lists peanuts and tree nuts as known allergens handled in the kitchen, and states the venue will endeavour to provide alternatives upon request. However, no specific nut-free menu items are marked, and the 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

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.

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

confidence 45% ·

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.

The allergen notice lists soybean as an allergen present in the kitchen and states the venue will attempt to provide alternatives. No soy-free items are specifically marked on the menu. Given the shared kitchen, cross-contact is possible. Soy-allergic diners should inquire directly with the restaurant before ordering.

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

advance notice required

Shellfish-free

confidence 45% ·

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.

The allergen notice lists crustaceans and seafood as allergens present in the kitchen, and states that alternatives will be attempted upon request. No shellfish-free menu markings exist beyond general GF/GFO codes on some seafood dishes. The shared kitchen environment makes cross-contact a concern. Call ahead to discuss safe options.

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

advance notice required
