Ratings are diners’ own experience. They don’t make a dish safe; neither do we.

Where this comes from

Allergen answers come from the menu’s labels first, then the listed ingredients, then a model’s judgement checked when unsure. How allergen status is decided.

The venue notes: “Food allergy disclaimer: food prepared here may contain or have come into contact with milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts…”.
