Our gluten-free adaptation of this tea involves swapping ingredients with gluten for those with gluten-free ingredients, this means – for example - that instead of the pastry spoon there is a tart case. Our gluten-free afternoon tea is prepared separately from gluten-containing foods, using dedicated utensils, separate ingredients and storage. Our kitchen and front of house teams follow strict allergen protocols. HOWEVER, while we take every possible precaution, we do operate a mixed kitchen where gluten is present and, as outlined on our menus, website, and at the time of booking, we cannot guarantee any dish is entirely free from allergens due to the potential for airborne or microscopic cross-contact. This means our afternoon teas MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR COELIAC DINERS. Many coeliac guests dine with us safely and regularly, but we recognise that even with stringent procedures, there is always an element of risk. We no longer offer a vegan and gluten-free themed afternoon tea.
