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.

Red Onion offers a dedicated vegan menu with several options across starters, mains and desserts. Vegan wines are clearly marked on the drinks menu. The kitchen operates an omni setup but the separate vegan menu and positive feedback from multiple HappyCow vegan reviewers indicate a reliable approach for vegans.

Red Onion has dedicated dairy-free menus (a la carte and pre-theatre). The venue states it offers full dairy-free options. Multiple diners on FindMeGlutenFree and HappyCow report it works well for dairy-free dining. The kitchen operates an omni setup but provides a separate marked menu and dedicated fryer, which also supports dairy-free safety.
