The official website explicitly states the sourdough bread range is vegan, and 'Vegan Brioche Buns' and 'Vegan Brioche Tin Loaf' are named products. However, the bakery also sells non-vegan items (e.g., Mother's Day cheesecake with cream cheese and sour cream, pork & fennel sausage roll, grass-fed beef pie), so the kitchen is not 100% vegan. No dedicated vegan prep area is documented. Vegan options are identifiable by product name on the website.

Reviewer notes 'plenty of vegetarian options here.' The menu includes sweet pastries, sourdoughs, and vegan items that are inherently vegetarian, alongside meat-containing products (beef pie, pork sausage roll). No dedicated vegetarian marking system is documented on individual dishes, but vegetarian options are clearly available.

The official wholesale page states the sourdough bread is 'nut-free'. However, the café sells almond croissants (frequently mentioned in reviews), meaning nuts are present in the kitchen. Nut-free claims apply to the bread range only; cross-contamination risk exists for nut-allergic customers given almond products on the menu.

The official wholesale page states bread is 'dairy-free', and the sourdough and brioche bread ranges are explicitly described as vegan (hence dairy-free). However, the café also sells dairy-containing items such as cheesecake (cream cheese, sour cream). Dairy-free options exist but the kitchen handles dairy. No dedicated dairy-free prep area is documented.

The menu items evidenced include meat (beef pie, pork sausage roll) and no fish/seafood products are mentioned. The bakery is not fish-free, but no seafood is documented either. Pescatarian diners would find many suitable items (pastries, breads, vegan items), though the kitchen handles meat.
