    The food is great but prices are top high espcecially for a breakfast. Service is quick but waiters were doing back and forth a lot around the table where we were seated, very unpleasant.

    Used to always love this restaurant - a local favorite, but we went last night and were disappointed with the food and the prices have gone up signifcantly. The artichoke dip wasn't warm enough to enjoy, and the portion of the Chicken Schnitzal was super small for the £23.5 cost. Other mains were very expensive as well. Service was good, not their fault.

    Sadly not an enjoyable Sunday lunch, the roast beef & pork both had run out by 1pm even though most of the other people in the restaurant appeared to be eating brunch as opposed to roasts! Disappointing visit and the alternative food options not very tasty! Very expensive experience for food that we didn’t really want!

    This was a surprisingly poor experience - I’ve usually been very happy with Riding House. First, we arrived for our 5pm booking (we had theatre tickets for 7:30pm) and were informed that the kitchen opened at 6pm - in which case a 5pm booking makes very little sense to offer. Then one of our party asked for a simple switch of alcohol in one of the cocktails on the menu. We were informed that this was impossible without charging us for the swapped-in alcohol on top of the price of the drink. She explained that she just wanted vodka INSTEAD of the mezcal that the drink is usually made with, but our server insisted we would be charged for both and there was no way to adjust the drink without doing this. It was a strange and very customer-unfriendly way to address the issue, particularly when it is obviously possible to use a different alcohol and not double charge. And the restaurant was essentially empty at this time, so it’s not as if the bar or wait staff were particularly overwhelmed or something. The food itself was very nice and fortunately we did end up being able to order earlier than 6pm - but the overall experience was definitely sub-par. I felt badly because I had guests in from out of town; I’d chosen the place and assured them it would be lovely all around.

    Dear Carrie, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear your recent experience didn’t meet the standards you’ve come to expect from Riding House Fitzrovia. We recently adjusted our opening hours, and unfortunately, our reservation system wasn’t updated properly. We apologise for the resulting inconvenience. We also regret the way your cocktail adjustment request was handled. Your request was completely reasonable, and we’ll be addressing this to ensure more flexibility and customer-focused service. We’re glad you enjoyed the food, but it’s clear the overall experience fell short. Please know we appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve. If you’re open to visiting again, we’d love the chance to provide the seamless experience you deserve. Warm regards, Sarah

    Love this cafe - it was busy & buzzing. The food is good. The service is very slow - it isn’t the fault of the staff (who were all lovely) but I think they need more of them when it’s so busy. We enjoyed our lunch but gave up on waiting for a cup of tea at the end!

    Hi Francesca, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the buzzing atmosphere, delicious food, and our lovely team. We truly appreciate your understanding regarding the service speed and will take your feedback on board about staffing during busy times. We're sorry to hear about the delay with your tea and will work to ensure this doesn't happen in the future. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even better experience. Best, Sarah

    Perfect lunch. Service was outstanding - incredibly attentive even during a busy lunch service. We were early and sat at the end of the bar away from bar staff. One of the chefs (Lucy) prepping salads noticed and alerted them to get us served. Small thing but shows a team working well. Food lovely. Bill less than expected. What’s not to love

    Hi Andrew, Thank you for this wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you had a perfect lunch and that our team’s attentiveness stood out to you—Lucy will be so pleased to get a special mention! It’s great to know you enjoyed the food and found everything to be such good value. We’re thrilled you left with such a positive impression and can’t wait to welcome you back soon. Best, Sarah
