As a fully plant-based restaurant, every dish is vegetarian. The menu contains no meat, fish, or animal-derived ingredients beyond what's already excluded by the vegan ethos.

Dairy-free

The entire menu is plant-based, meaning no dairy ingredients are used. Dishes that might traditionally contain dairy (like mac and cheese, Caesar salad) are made with vegan alternatives. No dedicated dairy-free accreditation, but the kitchen's vegan ethos means dairy is structurally absent.

Shellfish-free

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 restaurant is fully plant-based, so no shellfish or any animal-derived seafood is used. The 'codfish' and 'fish' tacos are made from plant-based alternatives (harissa-marinated nori-wrapped aubergine and soft-shell tortillas with wakame).

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 65% ·

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

The menu marks many items as GF (gluten-free) and offers GF swaps (tofu for 'chicken', nori-wrapped aubergine for 'codfish'). However, the kitchen is shared and the FindMeGlutenFree listing reports it is NOT a dedicated gluten-free facility. A coeliac reviewer noted about half the items were GF or could be made GF. Cross-contamination risk is present; speak to staff before ordering.

Nut-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.

Nuts are marked on the menu (code 'N') for a few dishes: Jerk 'Chicken' Caesar Salad and Mango and Hazelnut Tart. The kitchen uses hazelnuts and likely other nuts. Not a nut-free environment; those with nut allergies should confirm with staff.

Soy-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.

Soy is marked on the menu (code 'S') for many dishes, including 'Oxtail' Spring Rolls, Jamaican Fried 'Fish' Tacos, Jerk 'Chicken' Caesar Salad, and several large plates. The 'chicken' is described as 'soya and wheat protein'. Soy is clearly present in the kitchen; those avoiding soy should check each dish's marking and speak to staff.
