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 fundamentally plant-based with a seasonal tasting menu built around vegetables, grains, and legumes. The chef-owner Alex Rushmer leads a kitchen that inherently works with vegan ingredients as a core philosophy. Multiple reviews confirm that the kitchen accommodates vegan requests and the menu is described as offering 'vegan options'. The space is a dedicated plant-based kitchen, making it strongly trusted for vegan diners even if some dishes contain dairy or eggs as an occasional component.

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

Vanderlyle offers a separate gluten-free menu and makes its own GF breads and brioche, adapting dishes rather than simply removing components. The kitchen is shared with gluten-containing ingredients, but several long-term coeliac diners report positive experiences over multiple visits. However, one community-reported incident of a glutening reaction exists, and the venue has no formal accreditation, so cross-contamination risk is present. It's best to clearly communicate coeliac needs when booking.

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 includes dairy ingredients like labneh, white chocolate, and egg yolk purée, but the kitchen is known for accommodating dietary needs. A repeat diner with dairy-free requirements alongside gluten-free ones reported good alternatives, and the restaurant appears on Find Me Gluten Free's 'dairy-free friendly' listing. No dedicated dairy-free equipment or protocols are documented, so cross-contamination risk exists in a shared kitchen.
