Questions about The European

Does The European have gluten-free options?

Yes: 11 dishes are gluten free as served, and 16 more can be made gluten free on request, from the menu read 10 Nov 2026. Each dish shows whether the venue labelled it or it was read from the ingredients.

Is The European coeliac friendly?

The venue notes: “Inform your server of any allergens before ordering.”. 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 European?

Chicken and Scotch Liver Parfait (GF option available); Crispy Beer Battered Cod and Triple Cooked Chips (GF option available); Classic Chuck Burger (GF option available); Vegetarian Bean Burger (GF option available); Foragers Pie (GF option available); Steak Frites (GF option available).
