Nut-free

B
confidence 45%

PULSE PlantBased HomeCooking lists nuts, including chestnuts, as core ingredients in dishes such as mushroom and chestnut pâté. The kitchen operates as nut-inclusive. No dedicated nut-free preparation area or allergen marking is mentioned. The venue is not appropriate for diners with a severe nut allergy without direct staff consultation.

Sugar-free

C
confidence 55%
Best effort ·what tier C means

The venue states it uses "even less sugar" and only unrefined raw whole cane juice in very small amounts, plus a completely sugar-free condiment called fruity ketchup. Fresh and dried fruit are preferred as natural sweeteners. No per-dish sugar marking is mentioned; sugar-conscious diners should enquire about specific dishes.

Reminder

Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
