Per-allergen evidence

Vegetarian

confidence 85% ·

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.

The Green Door is a vegetarian buffet and bakery by design. The entire menu is vegetarian, with a seasonal focus and scratch-made dishes. No dedicated equipment details are provided, but the kitchen's core identity eliminates the risk of non-vegetarian ingredients being added.

Honest caveat: Self-serve buffet format creates potential for cross-contact from other diners' utensils, though the kitchen itself prepares only vegetarian food.

Vegan

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.

The venue advertises 'many vegan & gluten-free options' including vegan cakes, pies, and cheesecakes. However, the self-serve buffet format and shared vegetarian kitchen mean vegan dishes are prepared alongside vegetarian dishes that may contain dairy and eggs. Staff awareness is implied by the menu descriptions but not independently verified.

Honest caveat: Buffet format and shared kitchen mean cross-contact from non-vegan dishes is possible; no dedicated prep area or utensils are mentioned.

Coeliac · Gluten-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.

The restaurant states gluten-free options are available, and the bakery offers gluten-free cakes, pies, and cheesecakes. However, the kitchen is entirely shared with gluten-containing dishes (regular baked goods, breaded items likely present in a buffet). No dedicated fryer, separate prep area, or coeliac-specific training is mentioned, and the buffet format heightens cross-contact risk.

Honest caveat: Self-serve buffet and shared bakery kitchen present a high risk of cross-contact for coeliac diners.
