No eggs on premises: fully vegan since March 2023. Egg-mimicking dishes such as vegan carbonara use kala namak (black sulphur salt) as an egg-flavour substitute rather than actual eggs, as documented by an independent food blogger who tasted the dish.

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

Gluten-free items are marked on an allergy menu (pasta, risotto, falafel, salad, dessert reported). Staff are trained and proactively disclose the inherent risk of cross-contamination in the shared kitchen environment. No dedicated fryer. One verified coeliac diner completed a full meal without reaction, noting staff were 'very careful and upfront'; a second coeliac diner reported a reaction after the chef used pasta water in preparation (chef and manager both apologised). Cross-contamination risk is structurally present and openly acknowledged by staff. Not a dedicated gluten-free facility.
