Insider-led, Owner, chef, staff, or a close friend or family member needs to avoid this allergen themselves; kitchen practice reflects that.

The venue describes itself as a vegetarian cafe (official website: 'focusing on healthy vegan and vegetarian wholefoods'). HappyCow labels it 'Vegetarian'. Multiple reviews from vegetarian and vegan diners confirm a wide range of vegetarian options. The owners (Gypsy and Justin) chose to open a vegetarian cafe after adopting a vegetarian diet themselves, suggesting insider-led practice. Halloumi and eggs are served, so the kitchen is not fully dedicated to vegan but accommodates vegetarians structurally.

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

The venue is described as 'vegan-friendly' on HappyCow and offers many vegan dishes (burgers, bowls, desserts). However, the menu also contains dairy (halloumi, cheese) and eggs, so cross-contamination is possible in a shared kitchen. No allergen-marked menu is evident from the official website (only PDF menus with no visible symbols). Staff can accommodate requests based on reviewer reports, but there is no dedicated fryer or prep area for vegan items. Confidence is moderate as most sources are from vegan diners who did not report issues, but structural safeguards are absent.
