How We Handle Allergens

We take the following steps to minimise allergen risks:

  • We ask all customers to declare any allergies or intolerances at the time of ordering
  • We use fresh, locally sourced ingredients and check labels carefully
  • We take care when preparing orders for customers with specific allergen requirements
  • We keep notes of customer allergen requirements for repeat orders

However, as we operate from a home kitchen where multiple allergens are regularly used, we cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free environment. Traces of allergens may be present due to shared equipment and preparation areas.

Speak to Us Before You Order

If you have a severe allergy or require specific allergen information about a particular dish, please contact us before placing your order. We are always happy to discuss ingredients and advise on the safest options for you.
