Good options and gf items marked. However, it does say the farro is gf so obviously they need to fix that. Do have a gf bun for sandwiches/burgers and good with accommodations otherwise.

Told the waiter three out of four of us have celiac. He proceeded to bring out a plate with the cross contaminated fried with the burger (with GF bun). Menu has items labeled GF but you must be very vigilant to be sure you are not exposed to gluten.

My husband and I were staying in the hotel where The Ridley is located, and online it said that they had a gluten-free menu. When we arrived, nothing on the menu was marked, but the dinner staff were able to tell us what was or could be gluten free. The lunch staff didn’t appear to be as knowledgeable, but they were also short staffed and the poor guy was handling a LOT of customers (and doing it well).

I had the steak-frites one night, but their fryer isn’t dedicated, so I subbed extra asparagus for the fries. The next day for lunch, I had a burger with a gluten-free bun and subbed a salad for the fries.
