Daily Menu

We are happy to provide allergy guidelines to support you in making your own menu choice; however, we cannot recommend or tell you what is suitable for you to eat or drink.

Allergies, Intolerances and Dietary Requirements - We actively manage the main fourteen allergens recognised by the Food Standards Agency (see below) but are unable to give information on allergens outside of this. We will, of course, do what we can to accommodate requests outside these fourteen, but these will be put through to the kitchen as a ‘request’ not an allergy order. Please note our menu descriptions do not include all ingredients or allergens; even if you have chosen the item previously, please make sure always inform your server of your allergy or intolerance as the allergy information may have changed.

Cross Contamination - Our food is prepared in shared preparation and cooking areas. As a result, allergen cross-contamination may occur, and fried items containing different allergens may be cooked in the same oil. While we take care in preparing our dishes and have contamination controls in place, we’re unable to guarantee that any item is completely free from allergens or specific ingredients. We declare allergens if they are intentionally added to a product. Where our suppliers have indicated possible cross contamination risks, we also declare their allergen ‘may contain’ risks. If the food is served in its packaging, we advise you to refer to the manufacturer’s label. If you are concerned about possible allergen cross contamination of the food you wish to consume, please ask us for further information on our cooking methods and policies.

Gluten Free - Where we offer gluten free dishes, controls are in place to ensure that meals on our gluten free menus are gluten free. ‘Gluten Free’ describes foods that contain gluten at a level of no more than 20 parts per million (ppm).
