Duckstein Brewery
Several menu items are marked GF or GFO (Gluten Free Option), including Loaded Fries, Berlin Currywurst, Homemade Chocolate Souffle, and various sausages, sides, and salads. The menu notes items may contain traces of gluten. The brewery also offers a gluten-free beer. However, the kitchen is shared and not 100% gluten-free—the pub serves Schnitzel, pretzels, and other gluten-containing items. Staff appear moderately aware (the menu says 'Please make it known if you have any allergies'), and one review on a third-party site mentioned 'coeliac aware and very accommodating' at a nearby venue, not this one specifically. No evidence of dedicated fryers or separate prep areas for gluten-free items at this venue. Check with staff about cross-contamination protocols for coeliac-safe orders.

Vegetarian items marked on the menu with (V) or (VO), including Ciabatta Garlic Bread, Warm Pretzel, Fries, Veggie Burger, Traditional Caesar Salad (VO), and Homemade Chocolate Souffle. A shared kitchen means some cross-contact risk, and staff should be able to advise on modifications. Not a dedicated vegetarian kitchen.
