Rascal has labelled vegan options including two vegan burgers (one with Veef patty) and a vegan mac and cheese. The kitchen is shared with meat dishes, so cross-contamination is possible. Vegan items are clearly marked on the menu.

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

Vegetarian options are available, including the vegan burgers and sides like chips and tater tots. The kitchen is shared, so cross-contamination with meat is possible.

Dairy-free

confidence 50% ·

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.

Some reviewers note the venue is 'good for dairy-free', but no dedicated equipment or marked dairy-free menu is mentioned. Best to call ahead and confirm options.

Reminder

Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
