Tapa Specific Dietary Requirement Menus We realised some time ago that tapas lends itself very well to those with specific dietary requirements & that with only a small amount of change to how we prepared some of our dishes we could make most of our menu accessible to as many people as possible. We re really proud of our ability to deal with dietary requirements & as such if there is anything that you are unsure of, please just ask. Similarly, we ve worked really hard training all our staff to be as knowledgeable as they can possibly be about all our dishes, but, if they don t know something it only takes a quick question to the Chef to find a definitive answer. Love, The Tapa Team Contents Vegan Menu: Pages 1 &2 Menu for those who are Gluten Intolerant: Pages 3, 4, 5 Menu for those who are Lactose Intolerant: Pages 6,7 & 8.
