Cafe Fig

confidence 0.50 ·

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

The official menu explicitly labels two items as 'vegan, gluten-free' (CHIPS & GUAC and HUMMUS). The homepage states the venue offers 'vegan and gluten free options'. However, there is no dedicated vegan kitchen or fryer, and no systematic allergen marking on the menu. No independent reviews specifically address vegan safety or cross-contamination. The evidence is limited to the venue's own marketing.

Not appropriate, Documented unsafe, multiple negative reports, or refuses to accommodate. Surfaced to warn rather than recommend.

Cafe Fig is not a dedicated gluten-free facility and has no Coeliac UK accreditation. The menu does not mark gluten-free items systematically; only two dishes are explicitly labeled 'gluten-free'. FindMeGlutenFree community reports indicate no dedicated fryer and multiple cross-contamination incidents: a Cobb salad returned with croutons still present after being 'remade', and a charcuterie board served with bread on top despite a gluten allergy notification. One reviewer noted staff will clean the kitchen/change gloves, but the documented unsafe events outweigh this.

Honest caveat: Multiple reports of cross-contamination: croutons left on a 'new' salad and bread placed on a charcuterie board despite allergy notification.
