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

HappyCow lists the venue as 'Vegan-friendly' with the note 'Reported to offer cow's cheese February 2025'. Most reviews confirm that all tacos, the burger, and the daily menu are vegan, and the venue also stocks a small vegan market. However, dairy is present in the kitchen (cow's cheese), there is no evidence of a dedicated vegan prep area or a marked allergen menu, and cross-contamination risk for strict vegans exists.

Reminder

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