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.

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.

Vego's is a vegetarian fast food restaurant. Every dish on the menu is vegetarian. The kitchen uses no meat, fish or poultry. Dairy appears in halloumi and regular cheese options, but the entire menu is designed for vegetarians.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 70% ·

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

Vego's has a range of gluten-free options including a GF bun (+$3), GF nuggets, and GF pumpkin arancini. The menu marks some items with gluten notes but isn't fully allergen-coded. Coeliac reviewers report that if you tell them you are coeliac they use a separate preparation area and fryer. The kitchen is shared, so cross-contamination is possible. Best to state your needs clearly when ordering.

Dairy-free

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.

Dairy appears in halloumi dishes and regular cheddar cheese on some burgers. Vegan cheese is available as a substitute (+$1-$1.50). Many items are dairy-free by default using house-made vegan mayo. The menu doesn't systematically mark dairy-free options but staff can guide you.

Soy-free

confidence 55% ·

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.

Several menu items list soy as an allergen due to house-made vegan mayo, TVP-based mince, satay sauce, and soy sauce. The vegan mayo is made in-house and contains soy. The menu does not mark every soy-containing dish, and staff can advise which items can be modified to avoid soy.

Reminder

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