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.

Several menu items are marked GF (gluten-free) including chips, salt & pepper squid, vegetarian option, oven baked salmon, and the steaks. However, the kitchen is shared with regular dishes containing gluten, and there is no mention of dedicated fryers or equipment. Cross-contamination risk is unaddressed by the venue. Best to call ahead and confirm procedures with the chef.

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 menu marks two items (VG): the Samosas & Vegetable Spring Rolls. No other vegan dishes are explicitly listed, and there is no dedicated vegan section or vegan-marked mains. Staff may accommodate requests, but options are very limited. Call ahead to discuss.
