Schnitz Mornington

Schnitz offers a 'Veggie Patty' as a protein option and uses a 'traditional crumb veggie schnitzel' in the Veggie Volcano Loaded Chips. The Garden of Eden burger or wrap also contains vegetables. According to the allergen guide, the veggie patty includes onion. Because a shared fryer is used with chicken items, cross-contact is possible. The menu does clearly indicate which items are vegetarian.

Schnitz offers a Gluten-Free Wrap and a Corn Crunch Crumbs option labelled 'Gluten Friendly'. Their detailed online allergen guide marks which items contain wheat/gluten. However, the kitchen is shared with gluten-containing ingredients (traditional crumbs, wraps, chips, tenders all contain wheat/gluten), and the venue states it cannot guarantee allergen-free meals due to potential trace allergens. Staff can guide you, but cross-contamination risk is real. Best for coeliac diners who are comfortable with a shared fryer and ask staff for the safest order.

Soy appears in the seasoned plant-based batter, traditional crumbs, burger rolls and wraps, and several sauces including kettle-cooked gravy and cheese sauce. The Gluten-Free Wrap also contains soy. The allergen guide marks soy content per item. Because the kitchen is shared, cross-contact remains possible. The information provided is transparent.

Many menu items contain milk or cheese, covering most burgers, wraps, parmas, loaded chips, salads with feta, and desserts. Some items like the Garden of Eden burger (no cheese) and a plain schnitzel may be dairy-free, but the allergen guide lists milk as present or may-be-present across most categories including crumbs, sauces, and dressings. Shared kitchen and fryer. Best to discuss with staff.

Tree nuts and peanuts appear as "may contain" in many items across the allergen guide, burgers, salads, loaded chips, tenders, desserts, and sauces. The allergen notes state the kitchen cannot guarantee allergen-free meals due to trace allergens. No dedicated nut-free prep area is available. Nut-allergic diners should exercise caution.

Egg appears throughout the menu: in the seasoned plant-based batter, all crumbs, most burger fillings (mayonnaise-based sauces), the Caesar salad, and desserts. A plain schnitzel with traditional crumbs still contains egg in the wash. The kitchen is shared. The restaurant directs egg allergy diners to consult the detailed allergen PDF and speak with staff.

The only explicitly vegan item noted is the 'Vegan Cookie Butter Loaded Cookie'. It contains wheat, gluten, and soy, and may contain egg, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame seeds according to the allergen guide. No vegan mains are indicated on the main menu. The veggie patty likely contains dairy/egg, and all schnitzel crumbs contain egg and milk. Vegan diners will need to ask staff about customisation, but the menu does not currently support a full vegan meal.

Crustaceans and fish are listed as 'may contain' across multiple menu categories: crumbs, schnitzels, sauces, salads, and chips. The seasoned plant-based batter and some crumbs explicitly list crustaceans and fish as may-be-present. No separate fryer is known. The risk of cross-contact exists.
