Per-allergen evidence

Vegan

B
confidence 60%

Menu items are marked with a VE symbol for dishes suitable for vegans. The kitchen operates without dedicated prep areas, so cross-contamination with dairy, egg, or other animal products remains a risk. Staff can help identify options that align with a diner's diet. A consistent if cautious choice.

marked menu

Vegetarian

B
confidence 60%

Menu items are marked with a V symbol for dishes suitable for ovo-lacto vegetarians. The shared kitchen has no allergen-free zones, and cross-contamination with meat or fish is possible. Staff can guide guests to suitable choices. This venue is a reliable option with standard chain-level awareness.

marked menu

Coeliac · Gluten-free

C
confidence 50%
Best effort ·what tier C means

No dishes are marked GF on the menu, and the chain explicitly warns of significant cross-contamination risk in buffet areas and deep fat fryers. The kitchen has no dedicated allergen-free zones and cannot guarantee any dish is 100% free from gluten. Staff will discuss your needs if asked, but quality depends on the shift. Safer to call ahead and speak directly with the kitchen before visiting.

Nut-free

E
confidence 30%
Limited information ·what tier E means

Hanley Brewers Fayre does not mark dishes for nut content. The chain's allergy page encourages guests to speak with staff about any allergy. However, the shared kitchen and fryers create cross-contamination risks. The positive signal from the chain is thin. A phone call to confirm nut-safe preparation is essential before relying on this venue.

Dairy-free

E
confidence 30%
Limited information ·what tier E means

No dishes are specifically marked dairy-free. The chain's general allergy policy says staff can discuss dietary needs, but the kitchen shares equipment and fryers with dairy-containing items. Calling ahead to discuss requirements is advisable. It is not a venue that can be trusted without confirmation.

Egg-free

E
confidence 30%
Limited information ·what tier E means

The menu does not indicate which items contain egg. The chain advises guests to notify staff about allergies, but the kitchen does not have separate preparation areas, and fryers are shared with all other foods. Calling ahead is recommended. Because the available information is limited, it is necessary to confirm whether egg-free dishes can be prepared safely.

Soy-free

E
confidence 30%
Limited information ·what tier E means

Soy is not referenced on the menu or in allergen guides. The venue will discuss allergies with you if asked, but the shared kitchen environment cannot guarantee separation. This is a thin positive signal; confirm soy-safe options by phone before ordering.

Shellfish-free

E
confidence 30%
Limited information ·what tier E means

Shellfish is not marked on the menu. The chain's allergy page states that staff are available to help, though the kitchen has no allergen-free zones and fryers are shared, a significant risk for shellfish anaphylaxis. Calling ahead to discuss is advisable; the general policy alone should not be relied upon.

Halal

E
confidence 30%
Limited information ·what tier E means

No halal certification or marking is mentioned. The venue has a general policy of discussing allergies with guests, but the shared kitchen and lack of segregated equipment mean halal requirements cannot be assumed. Calling ahead to ask whether halal options exist and how they are prepared is advisable.

Kosher

E
confidence 30%
Limited information ·what tier E means

Kosher dietary requirements are not addressed by the venue. The general allergy page encourages guests to speak with staff, but the kitchen setup precludes separate preparation. This is a very thin signal only. The venue should be contacted directly to discuss any kosher needs. Suitability should not be assumed.

Low-FODMAP

E
confidence 30%
Limited information ·what tier E means

Low-FODMAP options are not listed or marked. The chain states that staff will assist with dietary inquiries, but there are no specific processes for low-FODMAP preparation. A phone call is the best source of information before dining at this venue.

Sugar-free

E
confidence 30%
Limited information ·what tier E means

Sugar content is not featured on the menu. The venue's allergy page invites guests to raise any dietary concern with staff, but no sugar-free specific accommodations are known. Call ahead to ask about options without added sugar.

Pescatarian

E
confidence 30%
Limited information ·what tier E means

No specific pescatarian marking exists on the menu. Staff are generally available to discuss dietary needs, but the shared kitchen does not guarantee separation of fish, meat, or other ingredients. Calling ahead confirms flexibility for a pescatarian diet.

Keto

E
confidence 30%
Limited information ·what tier E means

Keto-friendly options aren't marked or mentioned. Despite the general allergy guidance saying to speak with staff, there's no evidence that the kitchen can accommodate low-carb or high-fat modifications. This is a limited hint only; calling ahead is the way to discuss dietary needs.

Reminder

Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
