Loch & Key Restaurant

Name: Loch & Key Restaurant
Address: 32 Victoria Rd, Loch VIC 3945, Australia, East Gippsland, au
Price range: $$$$

The venue's own website marks several dishes as GFO (gluten-free option) and a community review on Atly confirms the chefs are cross-contamination aware and can assure meals are coeliac-safe. The AGFG listing also lists 'Gluten Free Options' as a facility. However, the kitchen is shared and there is no dedicated gluten-free kitchen or accreditation from a recognised body. Staff awareness appears good, but the shared kitchen means some risk remains.

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

The AGFG listing lists 'Vegetarian Options' as a facility, and the menu includes vegetarian-friendly dishes like Cauliflower Poppers. The kitchen is shared, so cross-contamination with meat is possible, but vegetarian options are clearly available.

Dairy-free

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.

The AGFG listing lists 'Dairy Free Options' as a facility, and the venue's own menu marks some dishes with GFO (which may include dairy-free modifications). However, no dedicated dairy-free kitchen or equipment is mentioned, and the level of staff training on dairy cross-contamination is not detailed. Best to confirm specific needs with the kitchen.

Vegan

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 AGFG listing lists 'Vegan Options' as a facility, and the venue's own menu marks Cauliflower Poppers as V (vegan). However, there is no dedicated vegan kitchen or equipment, and no detailed information on how cross-contamination is managed for vegan dishes. Vegan diners should discuss their needs with staff when ordering.
