Under the EU Food Information for Consumers Regulation (December 2014) we are now required to provide information on the allergenic ingredients included on the labels of the products we supply.  Of the 14 allergens specified under the regulation, those which will most often apply to our products are:

Wine
Egg and milk products used as finings in wine (generally egg albumen in red wine and milk casein in white) and also sulphur dioxide

Beers, Lagers and Ciders
Cereals (barley, wheat, rye and oats) and possibly sulphur dioxide (also citric-based cordials)

Spirits and liqueurs
If any of the ingredients are included in the allergen list and are part of the flavour in their natural form, such as nuts in Cherry Heering, cream in Baileys and eggs in Advocaat, the label will say this. Where the distillate (spirit) or liqueur contains a redistilled extract of, for example, tree nuts or milk, these do not require notification as the active allergen is denatured.

Please note that there is no requirement for labels of pre-2012 vintage to refer to allergens, therefore you should not assume that they are allergens free.

We are happy to provide allergen information on our products upon request. If you have an questions regarding allergens and how they may affect your health please contact your doctor.

The Slaughtered House Bar

Our food is freshly prepared in a small kitchen that handle allergens and our bar is a busy place, so we can’t guarantee that our food and drinks are allergen-free.
