Gluten at Kypseli
Gluten-free describes foods that contain gluten at a level of no more than 20 parts per million. We use gluten-free flour to make dishes such as cheese saganaki and meatballs. Our pita breads for dipping and pita bases for topping (Corfu-style pizzas) can all be ordered gluten-free.

ALLERGIES & INGREDIENT LIST
Please inform your waiter on arrival. If you have any allergies, as our dishes are made in a busy kitchen, we cannot guarantee they will be 100% free of allergens. Please note that items displayed on the menu may not reflect all ingredients used in the preparation of each dish.

Booking Enquiry for a table at Kypseli Taverna, No15 Stone Street, Cranbrook. But it’s MUCH quicker if you phone us on 0800 0219 444.

NB: For bookings of seven or more we take a £10 deposit per person

  • Call us on 0800 0219 444 to book your table for lunch or dinner. You can fill out this form, but we only check our email a couple of times a day, so it is much quicker and easier if you call us to discuss your booking requirements.

  • PLEASE REMEMBER TO INCLUDE IN THIS FORM:

  • The date of your booking

  • The time of your booking and if there is any flexibility in your arrival time

  • How many people are in your party, and if any are children. For bookings of six or more people, we take a £10 deposit per person.

  • Whether anyone in your party has any dietary requirements or allergies

  • And lastly and most importantly a telephone number we can contact you on, in case we need to discuss or change your booking.

Please note that whilst we will do our very best to accommodate you and your party, we are a small venue and have limited capacity, especially during business hours. Which is why we encourage you to call us rather than email. We will however endeavour to contact you as soon as possible to confirm your booking, or to discuss alternative arrangements.
