The Meets

The restaurant explicitly markets itself as a 'vegetarian and vegan restaurant' on its own website. The Glowcation review corroborates a menu that is overwhelmingly plant-based with vegetarian options throughout (eggs, cheese add-ons available). Non-vegetarian add-ons such as bacon are noted as optional extras, meaning the kitchen handles meat, so this is not a fully dedicated vegetarian kitchen. No formal allergen-marked menu is evidenced, but the venue's identity is vegetarian-first.

Vegan

confidence 0.60 ·

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

The venue's own website describes itself as a 'vegetarian and vegan restaurant'. The Glowcation review confirms the menu is 'nearly fully vegan' with vegan options clearly present throughout, including vegan mayo, vegan cheese, and house-made vegan treats. However, the menu also offers non-vegan add-ons (bacon, burrata, halloumi, whey protein in smoothies, eggs, bee pollen), and a smoothie containing whey protein was noted. There is no dedicated vegan kitchen, and animal-product add-ons are prepared in the same space. No allergen-marked vegan menu is documented; vegan items are understood to be the majority of the menu but not exclusively so.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 0.40 ·

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

The Glowcation review mentions that for wraps and burgers (normally served in a tapioca wrap or sourdough bun), customers have the option of a 'gluten free tortilla or even a salad leaf'. This indicates gluten-free substitutions are available on request, but there is no dedicated fryer, no allergen-marked menu, no staff-training evidence, and no dedicated prep area documented. The kitchen uses sourdough bread and standard wheat-containing items alongside gluten-free options. Cross-contamination risk is unaddressed.
