Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
The venue is described as a 'Vegetarian and Vegan Restaurant' and lists multiple vegan options. The drinks section notes 'all our beers are vegan' and 'multiple vegan and organic' wines. The restaurant hosted a vegan wine-tasting event in partnership with Vegan Tipples. However, it is not a 100% vegan kitchen — dairy and eggs are present in vegetarian dishes — and no allergen marking system for individual vegan dishes is evidenced in the available sources (menu PDFs were not retrievable). Classification is Tier D: vegan options exist and are acknowledged by the venue, but shared prep with dairy/egg is structurally inevitable in a mixed vegetarian kitchen.
