Tendril - A (mostly) Vegan Kitchen & Bar

Tendril is a self-described 'mostly vegan' restaurant that explicitly offers a fully vegan option on every menu. Non-vegan dishes are individually marked '(nv)' on menus, making it straightforward to eat a completely vegan meal. The kitchen is not 100% vegan (dairy is used in some dishes), so this is Tier C rather than S — marked menu with clear separation of options, but a shared kitchen environment.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 0.60 ·

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

The venue states it 'always offer[s] gluten-free … menus' and gluten-free alternatives are described as permanently available. However, the FAQ explicitly states: 'We do everything we can to avoid cross contamination, but cannot guarantee that any dish is completely free of trace elements.' No dedicated kitchen or fryer is mentioned; this is a shared kitchen with gluten-free options available, placing it firmly at Tier D.

Dairy-free

confidence 0.65 ·

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

The venue confirms 'the occasional use of dairy in a few dishes' and non-vegan dishes are marked '(nv)'. A dairy-free meal is achievable by choosing vegan dishes. However, dairy is present in the kitchen and cross-contamination is not guaranteed against, so this is Tier D — marked menu (via the nv system) with acknowledged shared prep environment.

marked menu

Nut-free

confidence 0.50 ·

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

The FAQ states the venue 'always offer[s] … nut-free … menus' and asks guests to declare allergies at booking. No dedicated nut-free fryer or structural separation is described, and no marked menu convention for nuts is evidenced in the scraped text. Confidence is limited to Tier E: available on request with advance notice but no structural nut-free guarantee documented.
