Ambers Cafe & Restaurant

The everyday menu marks several items with a GF icon (Salt & Pepper Squid, House Hand Cut Chips, Chicken Schnitzel, Beef Cheek, Ship to Shore, Fish of the Day, Greek Salad, Halloumi Salad, Kids Cheeseburger Slider, Kids Pizza) and the function FAQ says they cater to gluten free diets. All pasta dishes also have a gluten free option. However, the kitchen is shared — FindMeGlutenFree notes it is not a dedicated facility, one reviewer said no dedicated fryer, another said there is a dedicated fryer (conflicting), and staff will clean space/change gloves on request. For coeliacs the shared kitchen and inconsistent fryer info mean cross-contamination risk is present; best to confirm procedures directly with staff.

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 menu uses a Vegetarian icon on several dishes (Bruschetta, Trio of Dips, Arancini Balls, Corn on the Cob, Margherita pizza, Vegetarian pizza, Vegetarian Cheese Burger, Vegetarian Pasta, Greek Salad, Halloumi Salad) plus a Vegan Snitty Burger and Vegan Beef Burger are listed. Staff are described as knowledgeable by FindMeGlutenFree reviewers. The shared kitchen handles meat so cross-contact is possible, but marked options and aware staff make this reliable for vegetarian needs.

Vegan

confidence 60% ·

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 House Hand Cut Chips as Vegan, and lists a Vegan Snitty Burger and a Vegan Beef Burger. No dedicated vegan kitchen; a shared kitchen handles dairy, egg, and meat. Staff may accommodate on request — the function FAQ says they cater to dietary requirements. Best to call ahead to confirm vegan options beyond the few marked items.
