Per-allergen evidence

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 85% ·

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

Honest caveat: An Atly listing carries a platform-level 'some risk of cross-contamination' disclaimer, though no other evidence supports it.

Vegetarian

confidence 65% ·

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 clearly marks items as VG and has a dedicated 'Vegetarian & Vegan Bowls' section. The shared kitchen handles meat, but vegetarian options are numerous and staff are experienced with substitutions. For a vegetarian (no meat/fish) rather than a strict vegan, this is a reliable choice.

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.

A dedicated 'Vegetarian & Vegan Bowls' section exists on the ordering menu, and one bowl (The Moroccan) is marked VE. However, dairy and meat are used extensively in other dishes in the same shared kitchen. No dedicated equipment or separate prep area is described. Staff can likely help build a vegan bowl from the components, but cross-contact risk exists.

Dairy-free

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.

Dairy is ubiquitous on the menu (cheese, sour cream, butter) and no dish-level dairy-free markings appear on any menu source. The build-your-own bowl format means you can request no cheese or sour cream, but the kitchen is shared and staff accommodation is your only route. If you are severely dairy-intolerant, call ahead to confirm whether they can prepare a dairy-free bowl safely.

Halal

confidence 65% ·

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 official menu marks many dishes as 'H' for halal, but all menu items are prepared in a shared kitchen that also handles pork (crispy bacon). No halal certification body is mentioned in any source. Staff may be able to advise on which dishes avoid pork, but cross-contamination from shared prep surfaces and equipment is a real risk. Best to discuss your requirements directly with the kitchen.
