Vegan

confidence 0.45 ·

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

The venue's cuisine listing includes 'Vegan' and the menu notes 'vegan/Lactose Free cheese available'. However, no dishes are explicitly marked vegan on the menu (only (V) for vegetarian is used). Vegan accommodation appears available on request rather than via a marked menu. Community help wanted.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 0.82 ·

Not appropriate, Documented unsafe, multiple negative reports, or refuses to accommodate. Surfaced to warn rather than recommend.

Two independent self-identified coeliac/celiac reviewers on FindMeGlutenFree explicitly report this venue is not safe: one states 'Not celiac safe at all. Same gloves, same oven, etc as reg bread' and another 'uses the same utensils, board, gloves – do not coeliac safe'. No dedicated fryer is confirmed. The official menu lists GF bread as a bread option but there is no marked allergen menu and no structural safeguards in place. The venue is not listed by Coeliac UK despite the accreditation source being checked.

Honest caveat: Two self-identified coeliac reviewers independently report shared utensils, shared oven, and shared gloves, making this unsafe for coeliacs.
