Henry and The Fox

Menu has gluten-free items marked and staff will ask whether a diner is coeliac or merely intolerant, but the fryer is shared — multiple sources confirm 'everything is cooked in the same fryer'. Staff proactively flag the shared-fryer risk and will remake dishes, but no dedicated fryer or dedicated prep area is documented.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Venue explicitly markets itself as 'Proudly Vegan Friendly' with a dedicated selection of vegan dishes on the menu (acai bowl, vegan polenta fries, vegan agnolotti, vegan spinach linguine, Japanese katsu vegan curry); additional dishes may be made vegan on request. It is a non-dedicated kitchen serving meat, so cross-contamination cannot be ruled out.
