The Kennington Carvery and Restaurant
The venue's own site states that vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free guests are 'fully catered for' and mentions gluten-free gravy alongside the carvery. The KentLive article also flags gluten-free gravy and quotes a diner who received dedicated gluten-free Yorkshire puddings and stuffing balls. The Atly listing says gluten-free options are available on request and a community member reports the team catered well for coeliac and dairy-free needs. However, the kitchen is a traditional carvery with shared prep areas and no evidence of a dedicated fryer or separate kitchen. Marked-menu evidence is thin — the site uses descriptive text rather than per-dish GF codes.

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

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 venue's own site mentions 'vegan-friendly meals' and 'plant-based delights' on the home page, and says vegan guests are 'fully catered for' at Christmas events. No separate vegan menu or per-dish markings are provided. The carvery format can accommodate plant-based plates, but without dedicated equipment or a marked menu, cross-contamination and limited choice are real concerns.

The venue's website says 'vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free guests are fully catered for' in the Christmas parties section, and mentions plant-based delights elsewhere. No separate vegetarian menu or per-dish markings are shown. A carvery format can easily offer vegetable-heavy plates, but without a dedicated vegetarian preparation space or marked menu, coeliac-level cross-contact risk is unknown.
Dairy-free

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.
One Atly community member says the venue catered well for 'coeliac and no dairy', but no other source mentions dairy-specific options. The menu text on the venue's own site does not mention dairy-free alternatives. With only a single community report and no structural evidence (dedicated equipment, marked menu, staff training for dairy) the safest bet is to ask on arrival.
