Questions about Cafe at Lewers
Does Cafe at Lewers have gluten-free options?
Yes: 6 dishes are gluten free as served, and 9 more can be made gluten free on request, from the menu read 1 Nov 2026. Each dish shows whether the venue labelled it or it was read from the ingredients.
Is Cafe at Lewers coeliac friendly?
The venue notes: “Cafe menu: "Our fryer is coeliac friendly" (no detail on shared oil or cross-contact beyond this statement).”. Chef’s Kiss 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.
