Per-allergen evidence

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 60% ·

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

Honest caveat: No source discusses cross-contamination controls or kitchen protocols for gluten-free preparation.

Vegetarian

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.

A few items are marked V on the menu, and the venue's marketing mentions vegetarian-friendly options. However, no information is available about kitchen practices, shared equipment, or staff awareness. Best to call ahead and confirm that dishes can be prepared without animal products and cross-contamination.

Honest caveat: No source discusses whether vegetarian items are prepared with dedicated equipment or in a shared fryer.

Vegan

confidence 40% ·

Limited information, Thin positive signal only: a stray menu callout, a single passing review mention, or generic dietary marketing without specifics. Not enough to assess kitchen practice. Call ahead and confirm before relying on it.

The menu mentions one 'Vegan Broth' option and marketing copy says 'a variety of vegan and vegetarian-friendly options', but only a single item is labelled, and no information about kitchen practice or cross-contamination exists. Call ahead and check whether the Vegan Broth is genuinely plant-based and prepared separately.

Honest caveat: Only one vegan-marked dish was found in the sources; no information about cooking methods or shared equipment.
