Burnt Orange

Staff are well-trained on coeliac needs, a marked-up menu is provided on request, and most dishes can be made gluten-free with minimal alterations. The kitchen is not dedicated though, and both bread and fried items are prepared in shared spaces with no separate fryer. Multiple coeliac reviewers report no symptoms, but one symptomatic coeliac advises that high-sensitivity diners may want to avoid it due to shared prep and bread baking on site. Overall a strongly trusted choice for most coeliacs, especially if you flag your needs when booking.

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.

Staff are well-trained on coeliac needs, a marked-up menu is provided on request, and most dishes can be made gluten-free with minimal alterations. The kitchen is not dedicated though, and both bread and fried items are prepared in shared spaces with no separate fryer. Multiple coeliac reviewers report no symptoms, but one symptomatic coeliac advises that high-sensitivity diners may want to avoid it due to shared prep and bread baking on site. Overall a strongly trusted choice for most coeliacs, especially if you flag your needs when booking.

Honest caveat: One symptomatic coeliac reviewer advises this restaurant may be high risk for highly sensitive individuals due to shared prep area and lack of separate fryer.

Vegan

confidence 70% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

Vegan options are available but scarce, with most dishes requiring adaptation. On booking, staff will mark the menu to show which dishes can be made vegan. The original menu lists zero vegan main courses; adaptations rely on the kitchen accommodating on the day. Desserts have no vegan options. Portion sizes are small and the bill can run high. Best for vegans dining with a mixed group who are comfortable asking questions and accepting a limited selection.

One reviewer reported receiving a bespoke nut-free menu, and the staff talked through risk of cross-contamination. No dedicated kitchen for nut-free prep; shared kitchen means risk remains. Best to confirm menu options directly with staff when booking.
