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.

Spinach shows the menu focuses heavily on vegetable-based dishes like poke bowls, roasted cauliflower, buddha bowls, and roasted carrots, all clearly labeled. Staff are knowledgeable and the venue is described as 'very vegan-friendly', which implies extensive vegetarian options. The gin is confirmed vegetarian. With clear menu labeling and a veg-forward kitchen, vegetarian diners can eat with confidence, though specific cross-contamination protocols are not documented.

marked menu

Dairy-free

confidence 50% ·

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

Find Me Gluten Free lists the venue as 'good for dairy-free' based on one community report. The Spinach guide notes clearly marked vegan dishes, which may include dairy-free options, but no specific dairy-free menu or dedicated equipment is mentioned. Staff may be able to assist when asked, but advance confirmation is advisable for those with dairy intolerance.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 50% ·

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.

Find Me Gluten Free lists beer, fries, and dessert as gluten-free menu items, but the listing's own disclaimer states the venue is NOT a dedicated gluten-free facility and may not be safe for coeliac disease. No marked gluten-free menu was observed on the venue's own website or the Spinach guide, which notes dishes are clearly marked for vegan/vegetarian but does not mention gluten marking. The gin producer associated with the same address warns that their wheat-based gin may not be safe for hypersensitive coeliacs. Staff awareness is unconfirmed. For anyone with coeliac disease, call ahead to assess cross-contamination practices before visiting.
