HappyCow reviews say there are 'lots of clearly labelled vegetarian options' on the menu. The venue itself says vegan adjustments can be made, so vegetarian dishes are straightforward. No dedicated equipment is mentioned, but the options are plentiful and staff are described as helpful. Shared kitchen risk is present but manageable.

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

Coeliac · Gluten-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 venue's own FAQ says many dishes can be prepared gluten-free (seafood, salads, appetisers) and guests should tell their server so the kitchen can guide choices. However, the menu is not marked, there is no dedicated fryer noted, and multiple user reviews on FindMeGlutenFree report possible glutenings — one found croutons in the salad after specifying coeliac to the waiter. Cross-contact risk is real; call ahead to discuss your needs with the kitchen.

Honest caveat: Multiple diner reports on FindMeGlutenFree describe possible gluten reactions, including one who found croutons in a salad after explaining coeliac to the waiter.

Vegan

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.

HappyCow listings and the venue's own FAQ confirm vegan options exist (dumplings, chickpea burger, gyoza) and can be made with advance notice. Some dishes on the in-venue menu are marked vegan. However, a review on HappyCow reports a suspected milk contamination after specifying no milk, suggesting cross-contact or staff error risk. No dedicated vegan prep is mentioned. Discuss your needs clearly with staff when ordering.

Honest caveat: A HappyCow diner review reports a suspected milk reaction after specifying a dairy allergy — cross-contact or miscommunication possible.

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.

There is very little direct evidence on dairy practices. One HappyCow review reports a suspected milk contamination after specifying no milk, and general gluten-free guidance mentions telling the server about allergies. No dairy-specific menu marking or dedicated equipment is noted. Best to call ahead and discuss your needs with the kitchen.
