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 Pelican

Does The Pelican have gluten-free options?

No dish is marked gluten free as served, and 26 more can be made gluten free on request, from the menu read 9 Nov 2026. Each dish shows whether the venue labelled it or it was read from the ingredients.
