FreeFromly is a discovery tool, not a safety guarantee.

These tags come from reading the restaurant's own menu — always confirm directly with the restaurant before ordering. This menu includes dishes containing tree nuts, shellfish, molluscs and fish — allergens that can cause life-threatening reactions, so take extra care.

Optional add-ons may contain dairy, tree nuts and fish. Sauces, dressings, spreads and other extras are added on request and may not appear in a dish's own tags.

The restaurant's own note

“Whilst we take every care with allergies we cannot guarantee our food & drinks to be 100% allergen free due to the environment in which they are prepared”
