The Box Café

The Box Café clearly marks vegan options on its own website and in-cafe display. The vegan mezze platter, baklava, and cakes are well-loved by reviewers. However, all meals come from a single shared kitchen and the cafe states it cannot guarantee any dish is completely free of traces of other allergens. Staff are described as friendly and willing to discuss ingredients, but there is no dedicated vegan prep area or accreditation. Asking about specific dishes when visiting is advisable.

The cafe's menu highlights vegetarian options, among them a vegetarian mezze. As with vegan dishes, all food is prepared in one shared kitchen, making trace cross-contact with non-vegetarian items possible. Staff can talk through the ingredients.

The venue's own website includes a gluten-free menu section. A HappyCow reviewer noted several options that are both vegan and gluten-free. The kitchen is shared, and the allergen policy warns that no meal can be guaranteed free from all traces of other allergens. There is no accreditation from Coeliac UK or another recognised body, and no mention of dedicated fryers or equipment. Calling ahead to confirm what is safe on the day is recommended.
