The Banyan Tree

The Sunday menu marks 'GF? just ask for no Yorkshire pudding' on the roast, and the website says they cater to gluten-free. Staff are described as knowledgeable and willing to adjust dishes. However, the kitchen is shared and not dedicated gluten-free. Diners with coeliac disease should confirm cross-contamination practices with the chef before ordering.

Honest caveat: One FindMeGlutenFree reviewer with coeliac disease reported a severe glutening reaction despite advance notice.

Nut-free

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Dairy-free

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Some menu items like the Vegan Wellington are dairy-free by design, and a FindMeGlutenFree reviewer noted the staff could accommodate dairy-free requests. However, the menu does not systematically mark dairy-free options, and there is no dedicated kitchen space. Diners with dairy intolerance should speak directly with the kitchen.

Egg-free

confidence 40% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

The Sunday roast mentions removing the Yorkshire pudding to make it gluten-free, but there is no explicit egg-free marking on menus. Breakfast and brunch items likely contain eggs. Diners with egg intolerance should verify specific dishes with the kitchen.

Shellfish-free

confidence 35% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

No shellfish-specific information is available. The venue serves meat and seafood, so shellfish could be present. Diners with shellfish allergies should contact the restaurant directly to confirm their ability to accommodate.
