What diners say

No diner ratings yet.

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.

Questions about The Cauliflower Hotel

Does The Cauliflower Hotel have gluten-free options?

Yes: 10 dishes are gluten free as served, and 4 more can be made gluten free on request, from the menu read 11 Nov 2026. Each dish shows whether the venue labelled it or it was read from the ingredients.

Is The Cauliflower Hotel coeliac friendly?

The venue notes: “Menu states it is prepared in a kitchen that handles nuts, shellfish and gluten, so cross-contact is possible for all dishes.”. Eatcrush reads each venue’s own menu and says where every answer came from. It never calls a dish safe: kitchens share fryers, boards and flour, and menus change. If you have coeliac disease or an allergy, confirm with staff before you order.

What can be made gluten free at The Cauliflower Hotel?

Lolita's Carnitas Pork (x1) (Lettuce cup instead of tortilla (GF option)); Tex Mex Beef (x1) (Lettuce cup instead of tortilla (GF option)); Roasted Cauliflower (x1) (Lettuce cup instead of tortilla (GF option)); Carne Asada Steak (x1) (Lettuce cup instead of tortilla (GF option)).
