“I asked what options were vegan and the barman said he would ask.
“He came back with the menu which had the items circled and he put the note on the bar, it fell from the bar and my dad picked it up and showed it to me.
“When I first read it I was in disbelief, then I was angry and upset, it’s insulting and so unprofessional, also the total disregard for any potential allergy is a worry.
“I went and spoke to the manager after my family had finished their meal.
