   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.

   Having decided on pizza it was disappointing to learn there were no pizzas.

   Really nice food all around. I was impressed with the flavour of the vegan pizza as vegan food can be bland. Big cocktail and wine menu so plenty to choose from

   Starters were all good. Pizzas were not that nice. The sourdough base was a bit chewy and tough to cut. The NY strip was excellent, but not so much the minute steak. The cheesecake was not nice. The ice cream was good. Although I chose a middle range red wine, this was not nice. The ambient is very nice and so it is the service. However at £250 for 4 people, I was expecting better quality.

   We ate there for Sunday brunch. There is an excellent range of food on offer and the dishes we chose were nicely prepared and delicious. Service was excellent too.

   Such a lovely cosy gorgeous venue, perfect for a get together, or even a special occasion. They were so accommodating & changed our table as our numbers changed. Delicious food & they’re happy to amend if you have requests. Thank you!

   The food was very good, however we booked from 6.30 to 8.30 and we were suddenly rushed out at 8, while we were still eating our desserts. A pity this is the reason why I am reducing the stars from 5 to 3.
   

   Riding House BloomsburyResponded on December 6, 2024

   HI Giovanni, Thank you for your feedback. While we're glad to hear you enjoyed the food, we’re truly sorry that you felt rushed during your visit.

We’ll be reviewing this with our team to ensure clearer communication and a more seamless experience in the future. Your feedback is invaluable, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide the five-star experience we strive for. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    Reduced menu as they were focussing on Thanksgiving but OMG my rice and salad bowl was good! Lovely service. A moderate amount of noise but all reasonable. Will definitely return.
