Vegan

confidence 0.65 ·

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

The venue specialises in 'raw vegan treats' and multiple sources confirm vegan options are available, but the kitchen also serves grass-fed and free-range meats, so shared prep is likely. No dedicated vegan prep area or formal vegan accreditation is documented.

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

Multiple reviewers flag the venue as 'good for dairy-free' and one notes some options are dairy-free or can be made vegan, but no formal dairy-free menu or dedicated prep is documented. One reviewer ordered a vegan sandwich suggesting dairy-free items exist, but the kitchen also uses grass-fed butter and goats cheese dishes.
