Questions about The Cedar

Does The Cedar have gluten-free options?

No dish is marked gluten free as served, from the menu read 9 Nov 2026. Each dish shows whether the venue labelled it or it was read from the ingredients.

Is The Cedar coeliac friendly?

The venue notes: “Dishes are prepared in kitchens where nuts, gluten etc. are commonly used; dishes may contain traces of these products.”. 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.
