Do you cater for allergies / dietary requirements?We always try our best to cater for individual dietary requirements & allergies. We can offer vegan, vegetarian and gluten free afternoon teas, provided you inform us upon booking. Please see below for our full allergy information: We cannot guarantee a nut free environment and there may be traces of nuts within all of our products Please note that whilst we will do our best to meet your dietary requirements, due to the nature of Afternoon Tea, there may be some circumstances where we are unable to provide an alternative. Please therefore make sure to advise us at least 48hrs prior to your booking of any specific amendments to our usual menu. If your allergy is extreme and you are effected by airborne allergens then we are sorry but we will not be able to cater for your needs. This is something we are saying for your own safety. Our kitchen handles Wheat, Nut, Egg and Dairy products in large quantities and we are therfore not able to offer Afternoon Teas to guests who suffer allergic reactions to any of these products. We do not have a separate kitchen designated for specific allergies. Please inform your server of any allergies and intolerance before you order any food from the menu so we can do our best to accommodate. Upon booking afternoon tea please inform us of any dietary requirements and allergies. We can cater for vegans, vegetarians and gluten free afternoon teas.
