Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
The Moroccan bowl is the only dish explicitly marked VE (vegan) on the official menu; it contains no dairy in its listed ingredients (chickpea & kale mix, rocket, beetroot, cucumber, hummus, spring onion, crushed potato chips). The Uber Eats listing groups it within a 'Vegetarian & Vegan Bowls' section. All other dishes in the vegetarian section contain dairy (cheese, sour cream). Non-vegan items are prepared in the same kitchen.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
The official menu marks individual dishes with a VG code (vegetarian) and includes a dedicated 'Vegetarian Bowls' section. Marked vegetarian dishes include The Classic, The Chilli Bean Burrito, The Hawaiian, and The Nacho. Non-vegetarian items (chicken, beef, bacon) are also prepared in the same kitchen, so shared-prep cross-contact with meat is possible.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
The majority of dishes are marked 'H' (Halal) on the official menu and described as 'Halal friendly' in Uber Eats item descriptions. Halal-marked dishes include all three power bowls and most comfort and vegetarian bowls. Non-halal dishes containing bacon (The Festival, The Chicken Parma) and The Tuna & Avo (no H marker) are also prepared in the same kitchen. No formal halal certification from a recognised body is mentioned in any source.

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.
Community reviewers consistently tag SpudBAR as 'good for dairy-free'; a reviewer specifically at the DFO South Wharf location noted 'a good selection of GF/DF dishes.' Dairy-free eating is achievable by building your own bowl and omitting butter, cheese, and sour cream, or by ordering The Moroccan (no dairy in listed ingredients). No DF marking appears on the official menu, and dairy toppings (butter, cheese, sour cream) are the default across most dishes.
