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.
Subway has a few vegan options like the Veggie Patty (not at all locations) and various salads and sauces. The kitchen is shared with meat and dairy, so cross-contamination is a risk. Best to confirm with staff and check the allergen guide.

Coeliac · Gluten-free
confidence 85% ·
Not recommended, Documented unsafe for this allergen: refuses to accommodate, multiple bad reports, or a documented incident. Surfaced as a warning rather than a recommendation.
Subway is a high-risk chain for coeliac dining. The gluten-free bread is sealed but prepared in a shared kitchen with constant breadcrumb cross-contamination. Multiple coeliac diners report being glutened, and some locations refuse to accommodate. The chain's own allergen warning states they cannot guarantee any item is gluten-free. Not recommended for coeliac.
Honest caveat: Multiple reports of glutening and staff refusal to accommodate; chain's own allergen warning states they cannot guarantee gluten-free.
