Allergen information

Most of the food and drink served is prepared on site in our kitchen, using a wide range of ingredients. As a result, we can’t guarantee that any of our food and drink products are completely allergen free. 

If you have an allergy or intolerance and would like ingredient information about the food and drink served, please ask the staff, who will be happy to help.

Always check when you visit

Visited before? We sometimes change our recipes to improve quality and flavour, including the ingredients. When you visit, please speak to one of our team to check the current allergen information for your favourite dish.

Dogs are welcome  

We know dogs are part of the family too, so dogs and well-behaved owners are welcome at Morston Quay. 

Doing our bit for the environment 

We use Vegware packaging made from plants for our disposables, which means that our takeaway cups and lids are fully compostable 

Where our food comes from 

Today the National Trust is the UK’s biggest farmer, looking after over 600,000 acres of farmland with our tenant farmers. Whether it’s for the Bensons juices in your glass or the butter you put on your scones, we require all our farmers to use nature- friendly farming techniques. For things we can’t produce ourselves we apply these same regulations to all our suppliers too. 

 

Thank you

Every cuppa or tasty treat you buy helps us to continue looking after places for everyone to enjoy.
