Your safety matters to us. We prepare a wide range of food in a small, busy kitchen at Bewdley Museum, and many ingredients are handled in the same preparation areas throughout the day.
Understanding Our Kitchen
Our kitchen handles a wide range of regulated allergens, including ingredients containing gluten, milk, eggs, nuts, sesame and soya, alongside other allergens used across our menu.
We take care to minimise the risk of cross-contamination, but because ingredients containing allergens are used in the same kitchen, we cannot guarantee that any dish is completely free from traces of an allergen.
Flour and other gluten-containing ingredients are handled regularly, so this is particularly important for customers who need to avoid gluten.
If you have an allergy or intolerance, please tell a member of staff before you order. We can check current ingredient information, explain what is in a dish and discuss suitable choices where possible.
Gluten-Free Options
We offer a number of gluten-free options, subject to availability. These can include sandwiches made with gluten-free bread, jacket potatoes, an adapted Ploughman’s and bought-in gluten-free cakes.
These items are prepared or served in the same small kitchen as foods containing gluten, including flour. Cross-contamination therefore cannot be completely ruled out.
If you have coeliac disease, a wheat allergy or another condition that means you need to avoid gluten, please speak to us before ordering so we can explain the current options and how they are handled.
Vegetarian and Vegan Choices
Vegetarian and vegan dishes are available across parts of our menu, but these descriptions relate to the ingredients used in the dish and should not be treated as allergen-free claims.
For example, a vegan item may still be prepared in an environment where milk, eggs, nuts, sesame, soya or other allergens are handled.
If your dietary choice is linked to an allergy or intolerance, please make that clear when you order.
Ingredients Can Change
Recipes, products and supplier ingredients can change from time to time. For that reason, please check with us each time you visit, even if you have ordered the same item before.
We keep allergen information for the food we serve and will always check it rather than guess.
Talk to Us Before You Order
If you have a food allergy or intolerance, please speak to a member of staff before ordering. This gives us the opportunity to check the current ingredients and talk through the options available that day.
You can also get in touch before your visit if you have a question, although final allergen checks should still be made with staff when you order.
