What reviewers say about the free-from experience

  • gluten-free options
  • coeliac catering
  • dairy-free
  • egg allergy
  • cross-contamination on shared grills
  • staff allergen awareness
  • vegan/vegetarian options

Reviewers frequently discuss the venue's handling of allergies and dietary needs, noting that staff asked about food allergies before ordering and were described as accommodating with gluten-free, dairy-free, egg and mushroom requirements, as well as vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian diets. Several mention a gluten-free offering and one describes portions for two coeliac diners being kept well separated from the gluten portions, with grills said to be cleaned before dining. However, multiple reviewers caution that food is cooked together on shared grills and flag cross-contamination as a concern for anyone particularly worried, and one notes a booking allergen note (onion/garlic sensitivity) was missed.

Summarised from 25 allergen-related public reviews. feefrae is not a medical authority and does not verify individual reviews — this describes what diners discussed, not whether the venue is safe for your needs. Always check directly with the venue and do your own research.
