The Banyan Tree

HappyCow lists The Banyan Tree as having clearly labeled vegan options. These include vegan bangers and mash, Cajun cream pasta, a vegan burger, vegan macaroni, and a Vegan Wellington (VG) on the Sunday menu. Plant-based milks are available for coffee. The website states the restaurant caters to vegan diets. The kitchen is shared, so cross-contamination is possible, but staff are reportedly accommodating.

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. The kitchen is shared, though, and not dedicated gluten-free. Diners with coeliac disease should confirm cross-contamination practices with the chef before ordering.

The menu lists several vegetarian options, including a Vegan Wellington, breakfast and brunch items, and small plates. HappyCow categorises the restaurant as a 'Veg-options' venue. The kitchen is shared, so cross-contamination is possible. Staff are reportedly accommodating.

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

The sources provide no specific nut-allergen information. Some dishes, such as the Vegan Wellington, contain pesto that traditionally uses pine nuts. Diners with nut allergies should call ahead to discuss ingredient lists and cross-contamination risks.

The Sunday roast can be made gluten-free by removing the Yorkshire pudding, though the menu does not explicitly mark items as egg-free. Breakfast and brunch dishes likely contain eggs. Diners with egg intolerance should confirm specific dishes with the kitchen.

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.
