ALLERGIES
At Culinera, we train and develop our team to ensure they know all about allergens.
We ask our customers with special dietary needs or allergies, to speak with our Executive Chef / Manager or one of the team on a daily basis to find out which food they are able to purchase for that day. Our team will do their best to cater for this.
Despite our best efforts, our food/ drink is prepared in areas where cross contamination may occur. Therefore, we are unable to guarantee that our dishes/ drinks are ever totally free from any allergens.
