Questions about The Basin Dining Room

Does The Basin Dining Room have gluten-free options?

Yes: 3 dishes are gluten free as served, and 1 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 The Basin Dining Room coeliac friendly?

The venue notes: “Group bookings: notify the restaurant before your reservation of any dietary requirements.”. 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.

Truffle Brie (Gluten free available – inform your server when ordering).
