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 Lighterman

Does The Lighterman have gluten-free options?

Yes: 16 dishes are gluten free as served, from the menu read 10 Nov 2026. Each dish shows whether the venue labelled it or it was read from the ingredients.

Is The Lighterman coeliac friendly?

The venue notes: “Printed on the All day and Weekend menus and the Desserts menu: "Please let our team know about any dietary or allergen needs." Set menus…”. 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.

Monday: 8am–11:30pm. Tuesday: 8am–11:30pm. Wednesday: 8am–11:30pm. Thursday: 8am–11:30pm. Friday: 8am–midnight. Saturday: 9am–midnight. Sunday: 9am–10:30pm. Hours can change on public holidays; check with the venue.
