    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.

    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

    Hi Jessica, Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the food, especially the vegan pizza, and that you found the cocktail and wine menu to your liking. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back soon for another great experience! Best, Sarah

    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.
    Riding House BloomsburyResponded on 16 December 2024
    Hi Juan, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the starters, NY strip, and ice cream, as well as the ambience and service. However, we’re sorry to hear that the pizzas, minute steak, cheesecake, and wine didn’t meet your expectations. Your comments about the quality and value are important to us, and we’ll review these areas with our team to improve. We appreciate you sharing your experience and hope to welcome you back for a better visit in the future. Best, Sarah
