Per-allergen evidence
River Birch Lodge provides a separate gluten-free menu with many GF-labelled items and a dedicated fryer for GF cooking. Staff are generally well-informed about coeliac needs and the kitchen takes precautions. But it is a shared kitchen with wheat on site—the venue's own allergen disclaimer notes that food 'may contain' wheat, and the restaurant is not a dedicated GF facility. Most coeliac diners report positive experiences, though a few have encountered issues. Best to confirm the kitchen's protocol on the day you visit.
