   Seemed a bit off their game today. Example… Coffee orders didn’t get input and had to chase twice to get them. Food was great though, so still was worth it.

   Great location and some of the dishes were top notch but disappointed with the turkey (mediocre) and cauliflower which was very disappointing. Staff generally good. Loved the ambience and we had a lovely Christmas getogether with family x

   Dinner with 4 friends, sat on the left inside, behind the welcome desk, looked like the dining section. Food was great (had halloumi skewers with side of lentils, very tasty). Great desserts too. The place was packed (xmas time). Friendly staff,

   The food here was extremely delicious and came out in good time. The service was okay as it was busy it was hard to get the attention of the servers. Was decorated cute for Christmas too.

   Staff are lovely and very attentive. The atmosphere was great but sadly the food completely let the whole experience down. I had the full English breakfast but the scrambled eggs were absolutely tasteless, the black pudding cold, the baked beans were BBQ flavour which were too artificial for my taste but the worst thing was the chargrilled sourdough which gave such an overwhelming barbecued flavour to the whole breakfast that it was difficult to taste anything else. I think they’ve attempted to fancy up a classic and sadly missed the mark on all sides.

   Hi Wanda, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re delighted to hear you found our staff lovely and attentive and enjoyed the atmosphere. However, we’re truly sorry to learn that the food didn’t meet your expectations. We appreciate your honest critique of the full English breakfast and your thoughts on scrambled eggs, black pudding, and sourdough. Your comments about our attempt to put a twist on a classic are noted, and we’ll review these elements with our kitchen team to ensure we strike the right balance. We hope you’ll consider visiting us again so we can provide a more enjoyable dining experience. Best, Sarah

   Always loved the Riding House, but left a little bit disappointed this time. We were rushed off our table for another booking, even though we’d only had it for 1 hour 15 and we had a two hour allocation. The hollandaise sauce was also very vinegary.

   Food was good my sister had the full English and this looked great however my side never came and I had the mushrooms on ciabatta and the portion size was very small so ended up ordering a second dish. Drinks were slow these only came half way through food service. However it is a nice place and food was good.

   Hi Sarah, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food, though we apologize for the issues with your order and the delay in drinks service. The missing side and small portion size are certainly not the experience we aim to provide, and we’ll address this with our team to improve. We appreciate your kind words about the overall atmosphere and food and hope to welcome you back for a better experience next time. Best, Sarah
