Vegetarian

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The menu includes vegetarian options highlighted with labels, such as the Vegan Zucchini Cake Plate and gluten-free donuts. The venue explicitly says it caters to vegetarian needs. Shared kitchen with meat and fish dishes, so cross-contact for strict vegetarians is possible.

Dairy-free

confidence 70% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

Dairy-free options are clearly marked: items like Dairy Free Greek Salad are named as such, and the Uber Eats menu uses 'DF' labels. Ingredients lists note when items contain milk (e.g., Blueberry Protein Minis). The venue caters to dairy-free diets but does not offer a dedicated kitchen, so cross-contamination is possible. Staff can direct you to DF-labelled dishes.

Pescatarian

confidence 60% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The Uber Eats menu includes fish and seafood dishes such as Wild Salmon Creamy Zoodles Bowl and Halibut dishes. While not explicitly labelled 'pescatarian', the menu has clear vegetarian/vegan options and fish dishes, making it easy for pescatarians to find suitable meals. Confirm with staff about ingredients for specific dishes.

Keto

confidence 70% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

Locanut explicitly caters to keto dieters, with menu items like 'KETO Broccoli Leek Soup', 'KETO Grass Fed Beef Cheese Burger', and 'KETO Almond Chocolate Fudge Bites' labelled on Uber Eats. The venue description confirms keto-friendly options. Shared kitchen environment, so cross-contact with non-keto ingredients is possible but the labelling makes it easy to identify suitable choices.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 55% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Locanut labels many menu items 'GF' and offers individually packed meals to reduce cross-contamination. However, it is not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen—non-GF items are also available. Multiple coeliac reviewers on FindMeGlutenFree report getting sick, and one reviewer noted staff confusion about GF status. The venue's own description says it 'prioritizes safe food handling' but does not provide details about dedicated equipment. Best to call ahead and confirm safety procedures before visiting.

Honest caveat: Multiple coeliac reviewers report getting sick after eating here, and the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility.

Nut-free

confidence 50% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

The Uber Eats menu marks items with 'NF' (nut-free) labels, such as the Honey Glazed Baked Pear. However, many other items contain tree nuts or cashew (e.g., Kale Caesar Salad contains cashew). The venue does not provide any cross-contact statements and operates a shared kitchen. For nut-allergic diners, look for the NF label but always confirm with staff, as the kitchen handles nuts for other dishes.

Egg-free

confidence 50% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Some menu items on Uber Eats contain egg (e.g., Kale Caesar Salad, Paleo Soft Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies), while others do not. The venue does not label egg content systematically, and no 'egg-free' label was observed. For egg-allergic diners, ask staff about specific dishes and cross-contact in a shared kitchen.

Low-FODMAP

confidence 25% ·

Limited information, Thin positive signal only: a stray menu callout, a single passing review mention, or generic dietary marketing without specifics. Not enough to assess kitchen practice. Call ahead and confirm before relying on it.

The venue description mentions catering to various dietary needs but does not specifically list low-FODMAP. Some menu items may be suitable based on ingredients (e.g., gluten-free options), but there is no dedicated low-FODMAP labelling or protocol.

Reminder

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