   We dined at the bar counter, which was nice and casual. I had chopped salad and lemon chicken, just enough for a light supper. Off menu I ordered a spicy marguerita which was delicious. Good, friendly service, nice ambience. I'm a big fan of Riding House and find all three venues have consistantly delivered.

   Pleasant after show birthday meal. On arrival staff asked if special occasion and I had also put in booking notes of possible to put candle in desert. This was arranged and nice surprise in a additional slice of cake on top of the desert we had ordered. Took this slice home along with pizza that my son was too full to manage. Food all very nice. Rum ba ba bit dry one half....pizzas were v good. Took a while after main for server to collect desert order which made us slightly rush for our train.

   I was really impressed with everything today. We went for lunch with 4 adults and 1 toddler and they were very accommodating with my daughter. The service was friendly, the food came quickly and everything we ordered was delicious. Very nice staff.

   Brunch menu unavailable. Then a couple of other dishes we wanted weren’t available. Service not outstanding - muddled drinks order etc. Shame as had a really good experience at another branch of theirs.

   Dear Eduardo, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m really sorry to hear that your experience didn’t match the high standards we aim for, especially regarding the availability of dishes and the service. It’s disappointing to hear about the muddled drinks order, and I’ll make sure to address this with the team. We’re glad you’ve had a positive experience at our other branch, and we’d love the opportunity to welcome you back and make things right. Best regards, Sarah

   Good service, nice space, decent food, but £3.80 for a 'side of roast tomatoes' where you're given one tomato cut in half, and a side of 'sausages' for £5.20 where you're given two sausages the size of a finger is truly disgusting.
   

   Riding House BloomsburyResponded on 7 January 2025

   HI Dean, Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad to hear you were happy with the service and space, but I’m truly sorry that the portion sizes of the sides did not meet your expectations. We always aim for our dishes to reflect good value, and I apologise that this wasn’t your experience. Your comments are important, and we’ll review the menu to ensure clarity around portion sizes and pricing. We want all our guests to feel they’re receiving great value for their meal. I hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide a better experience next time. Best regards, Sarah

    It was very nice but very rushed. Christmas dinner is not a sprint it is a marathon. By ignoring that concept they ruined what would have been a beautiful festive feast.
