We have listed the allergens which are contained in our dishes. You will see

an easy to follow key guide which determines which dishes have certain

allergens. We cook all our dishes fresh to order, which gives us room to

adapt some of the dishes. If there is something that doesn't suit your

requirements, please ask a member of staff.

You should always advise our team of any special dietary requirements,

including intolerances and allergies. While we do our best to reduce the

risk of cross-contamination in our restaurant, we cannot guarantee that

any of our dishes are free from allergens.

Most of our dishes have been developed to be nut-free, however, because

we keep nuts in our kitchen we cannot guarantee that any of our dishes

are nut-free.
