The official menu marks vegan dishes with a dedicated icon, covering items such as Vegan Caribbean, Vegan Yardbird, Jackfruit Burger, Curry Okra & Spinach, and several sides and cocktails. The kitchen is shared and cross-contamination is possible, though staff are reported on aggregator reviews to be knowledgeable about allergies. A PDF allergen guide is available. This is a reliable choice for vegan diners who can confirm with staff.

Turtle Bay Manchester Oxford Rd provides an allergen guide PDF, and its online menu directs diners to "See allergen guide for more info" on most dishes. The kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free. Community reviewers on FindMeGlutenFree report mixed experiences: some describe knowledgeable staff and flagged items, while others mention unhelpful service or a menu change that removed most safe options. One atly community member notes that fries are cooked in a shared fryer. The venue lacks a Coeliac UK accreditation for this branch. With conflicting reports, the setup is best-effort. Cross-contamination risk is real. Calling ahead to confirm current practices is advisable.

Honest caveat: Multiple community reports note that gluten-free options have been reduced after a menu change and that fries share a fryer with gluten-containing items.
