Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

The venue explicitly markets itself as 'Vegan & Vegetarian Friendly' and offers a dedicated Vegan Breakfast dish (roasted mushrooms, vegan black pudding, vegan haggis, spinach, potato scone, beans, granary toast with olive oil). Vegan options are clearly identifiable by dish name on the menu, but no per-dish allergen marking codes (e.g. VG) are used, and the menu states 'We cannot guarantee the absence of allergens.' Kitchen is shared with non-vegan dishes. Staff are directed to be informed of dietary requirements.

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

The venue's FAQ mentions 'gluten-free dark chocolate and nut brownies' as a menu item, suggesting some gluten-free options exist. However, the menu itself carries no GF markings on individual dishes and explicitly states 'We cannot guarantee the absence of allergens.' No dedicated kitchen or fryer is mentioned. Staff are directed to be informed of dietary requirements, but there is no structural protection against cross-contamination. Community help wanted for verified coeliac experience.
