Vedi

26 Liversage St · Vegetarian · Vegan

Vedi is a vegan café in Derby, UK. The menu clearly labels all dishes as plant-based and vegan. The kitchen is exclusively vegan, so no meat, dairy, or other animal products enter the space. However, the menu lacks explicit allergen markings. No information is available about cross-contamination protocols or staff training for severe allergies. For those with multiple food allergies, it is best to call ahead and discuss specific needs with the staff.

Arepita

Tennant St ·

Arepita is not a 100% gluten-free kitchen, as a small number of gluten-containing items are kept frozen and prepared separately, though the vast majority of the menu is naturally gluten-free. The restaurant has a dedicated gluten-free fryer, marks GF items on the menu, and staff are knowledgeable about coeliac needs. The owner is particularly well-informed. A few reviews note a past incident with regular beer in pulled pork, but the venue planned to switch to GF beer. Overall, a high-care setup for coeliac diners.

Turtle Bay Derby

1-5 Wardwick · Brunch

Turtle Bay Derby marks vegan options on the menu with a leaf icon and (V). Staff can provide allergen information when asked. The restaurant does not describe a dedicated kitchen or cross-contact protocols, so the venue is suitable for vegans who are not highly sensitive to trace contamination.

Bistrot Pierre - Derby

18 Friar Gate · French · Brunch
