Marked menu + dedicated, Allergen-marked menu plus dedicated fryer / prep area. Staff trained. Not a fully dedicated kitchen.
The official menu links to a separate vegan & dairy free menu and states 'please make a note on your reservation if you’d like vegan or dairy free options'. HappyCow reviews confirm a 'fully vegan tasting menu' is available on request. However, the kitchen is not dedicated vegan (it serves meat and dairy), and the vegan menu is a substitution, not the default. Staff are aware and accommodate, but cross-contamination risk exists in a shared kitchen.

The official menu links to a separate vegan & dairy free menu and states 'please make a note on your reservation if you’d like vegan or dairy free options'. Multiple FindMeGlutenFree reviews confirm dairy-free accommodation is available and that staff are knowledgeable. However, the kitchen is not dedicated dairy-free (clotted cream, brie, buttermilk are on the standard menu), so cross-contamination risk exists.

The official menu lists a 'Pistachio Financier' and a 'hazelnut cream' add-on for the espresso martini, indicating nuts are present in the kitchen. FindMeGlutenFree reviews mention 'good for peanut-free' and 'good for tree-nut free' as community-reported tags, and one review notes the server 'clearly separated out the allergen free options' for a nut-free request. However, there is no dedicated nut-free kitchen or marked menu for nut allergens. Accommodation appears possible with advance notice, but cross-contamination risk is present.
