Gluten free, Coeliac safe

Halal Certified

Vegan Options Available

Handling Two Requirements at Once

Rather than treating vegan and gluten free as separate boxes to tick, our kitchen works through both together once you let us know. Everything is cooked fresh to order, which gives us room to adjust properly. 

Steps We Take for Combined Requests

Combining dietary needs takes a bit more planning, so here’s how we approach it. 

  • Flag both requirements clearly when you order 
  • Kitchen team checks the vegan menu for gluten free suitability 
  • Coeliac equipment used where cross contact matters 
  • Dish confirmed with you before it’s cooked 

This process applies whether you’re dining in, ordering takeaway, or booking delivery. 

Where to Start Looking

Our vegan menu is the best starting point, and our team can confirm which dishes also suit gluten free needs. 

Wider Dietary Care at Rick’s Place 

Combined dietary needs sit alongside a broader range of accommodations. 
  • Coeliac diners, with dedicated fryers and blanching pots 
  • Halal certified meat and poultry, with no wine used in sauces 
  • Low FODMAP and lower carb dishes 
  • Dairy free, egg free, and onion and garlic free requests 

Ways to Enjoy Your Meal

  • Dine in at our location in Kensington 
  • Order takeaway for a quick pickup 
  • Get home delivery, handled by our own team 

A Midweek Lunch Deal Worth Knowing

Love going to Rick’s Restaurant, very welcoming and warm. The food is delicious, with refreshing drinks. Very nice design and spacious. It’s a local, easy to get to Italian restaurant in Kensington.

Caitlin Symons

Our mains, Lamb shank and Surf n Turf, not only looked beautiful but were delicious. The wine selection is also great, matching the different dishes on the menu.
