Vegan

confidence 0.60 ·

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Vegan dishes are marked on the menu and a vegan breakfast option is available, but the venue serves meat and operates a shared kitchen; one reviewer noted inconsistency between the menu and allergen sheet regarding a 'vegan' dish that was confirmed to contain milk.

Dairy-free

confidence 0.45 ·

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

Staff were unable to answer dairy questions in at least one documented case, with the allergen menu contradicting the main menu on dairy content; the venue is reported good for dairy-free by a small number of community members but no structured dairy accommodation is evidenced.
