What reviewers say about the free-from experience

  • gluten-free menu
  • separate fryers
  • dairy-free options
  • vegan options
  • staff allergen awareness
  • coeliac dining

Reviewers frequently highlight the gluten-free offering, with several noting a separate gluten-free menu, a good range of dishes that can be made gluten-free and mentions of separate fryers. Diners who are dairy-free, vegan or coeliac describe staff talking allergens through confidently and checking with the kitchen, and multiple people say waiters asked about allergies at the point of ordering. Several reviewers also point to a wide choice of vegan and vegetarian options.

Summarised from 43 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.
