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 Porterhouse

Does The Porterhouse have gluten-free options?

Yes: 9 dishes are gluten free as served, and 13 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 Porterhouse coeliac friendly?

The venue notes: “Autumn menu offers a gluten free burger bun (£1.00) and a gluten free pizza base (£1.00).”. 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 Porterhouse?

Smoked Salmon (Ask for gluten free soda bread (GFA)); Garlic and Rosemary Baked Camembert (Ask for gluten free bread (GFA)); Irish Smash Beef Burger (Gluten free burger bun +£1.00); Buttermilk Fried Chicken Burger (Gluten free burger bun +£1.00); Roast Topside of Beef and Yorkshire Pudding (Ask for gluten free version (GFA)); Half Roast Chicken (Ask for gluten free version (GFA)).
