Sandalford Restaurant
The menu includes a vegan, gluten and dairy free wood-roasted eggplant dish, and the chef states dietary preferences are 'thoughtfully integrated' with multiple gluten-free options. However, the kitchen is shared (hand-rolled pasta, wood-fired pizza, sourdough bread all contain gluten), and no dedicated fryer or separate prep area is mentioned. Best to confirm cross-contamination protocols with staff when ordering.

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.
A dedicated vegan menu is available (linked as a PDF on the official site), and the chef highlights a vegan, gluten and dairy free wood-roasted eggplant dish. The kitchen is shared, but the presence of a separate vegan menu suggests some thought has gone into accommodating vegan diners. Confirm with staff that dishes are prepared without cross-contamination.
Vegetarian

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.
The menu offers multiple vegetarian options including wood-fired pizza, pasta, and seasonal sides. The chef notes 'multiple choices for pescatarian, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.' No dedicated vegetarian kitchen, but the variety of dishes makes it easy to find a suitable meal. Confirm with staff for strict vegetarian (no fish, no meat stock) needs.
Pescatarian

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.
The chef states 'multiple choices for pescatarian' on the a la carte menu. Dishes include slipper lobster pizza and other seafood options. The shared kitchen is not dedicated, but the menu variety should accommodate pescatarian diners easily. Confirm with staff for any non-pescatarian ingredients (e.g., meat stocks, lard).
Dairy-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 menu includes a vegan, gluten and dairy free wood-roasted eggplant dish, and the chef mentions dietary preferences are integrated. However, many dishes contain dairy (cheese, mascarpone, cream, stracciatella, ricotta salata, etc.), and no dedicated dairy-free equipment or separate prep area is mentioned. Best to call ahead and discuss specific needs with the kitchen.
