   Lovely brunch sport, better if a little early in the morning to properly enjoy the delicious food. Been there a few times but only just tried the mushroom and egg, it was DELICIOUS!!!

   Quality of food and the room were both great. Unfortunately the server made the overall experience the worst we had during our time in London. He was incredibly condescending and wrecked the experience that could have otherwise been positive.

   Riding House FitzroviaResponded todayHi there Katie, I am so terribly sorry to hear that your experience was dampened by the service you received. I will be discussing with the waiter about how he can improve upon this with your feedback, I would love to hear a bit more about your experience whilst dining with us. Please do email me on ben@ridinghouse.cafe so we can discuss further and I can make this right. I look forward to hearing from you, Thanks, Ben

   Food was great. Required to nudge the staff for updates on our drinks. We left an item under our table and they located it the next day very swiftly and it’s now back with us! Very efficient.

   The setting of the cafe is beautiful. The interior is wonderful and it’s enjoyable dining inside. However, food is average at best. Breakfast wasn’t very nice, scrambled eggs were dry and had a bland taste. Juices were adequate. Can’t fault the service. Unlikely that I will be returning.

    Such a lovely meal. The lemongrass chicken skewer in particular is outstanding - would return for that alone, although all of it was totally delicious. Great waiter and perfect menu. The steak was a bit boring compared to how amazing and interesting all the other dishes were. Think they should change that!

    The food was not good, we can taste like the ingredients were very old. First time to experience the beef wellingon and I was very excited but it was not good and we didn’t finish it. Good interior but the chairs inside were old, that needs replacing. There are flies inside and out of the restaurant. Service of the waitress/waiter were excellent and that I can commend. I wouldn’t recommend this cafe to my friends.

    Riding House FitzroviaResponded on June 24, 2022Hello there, Thanks so much for taking the time to write us a review. I'm so happy to see that you felt the service was excellent, though I'm sorry you were underwhelmed with your first experience with us and wouldn't want this to be your last. I was the manager this night and it wasn't brought to my attention you weren't happy with your beef wellington so I apologise for missing this. With the furniture, the design of the restaurant is for older furniture to be used for a shabby chic look, however we are more than happy to swap chairs or tables if there is the availability to do so. I would love to hear more about your time with us so if you could email me personally at benchapman@ridinghouse.cafe it would really help. looking forward to hearing from you soon. Kind regards, Ben

    Sat outside and it took half an hour to get a drink. People on the table next to us had their phone stolen by a random guy.

    Riding House FitzroviaResponded on June 22, 2022Hi Jamie, I'm sorry to hear you had slow service. I need to get to the bottom of what happened and why it took so long. Could I ask what time you visited us? It is horrible to know one of our guests had their property stolen. Unfortunately professional gangs operate in central London, and it can be extremely difficult to stop this happening. We do try to warn guests not to leave any personal items out on display, and we will be co operating with CCTV for the incident. Thanks Nick

    Food was great, hot drinks not very hot which was a disappointment as they are not cheap. Pancakes were the highlight of the visit-a must try! Our table was not wiped down properly on arrival and could see some residue from the meal before ours across it.

    The food was good but not outstanding. I have been previously and was far tastier. The waiter was nice enough but not attentive. Never asked if we wanted another cocktail, if everything was OK and took a good 20 mins after getting our cocktails to order. When we asked for the bill, if he asked if we wanted dessert, he could've tempted us! The cocktails were amazing though!

    Riding House FitzroviaResponded on June 20, 2022Hi there, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. I'm so happy to see you enjoyed our cocktails, I'll be sure to pass on your review to our bar team. I am sorry to see that your last visit wasn't as great as you previous ones though. This is definitely not the training we give any of our waiters and I will be bringing this up in the next briefing. If you could email me personally at benchapman@ridinghouse.cafe I would love to hear more about your experience with us. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Kind regards, Ben

    The food was good but nothing too special. The pancakes were quite thick and too sweet, really hard to finish them. Nice environment for a brunch.

    Riding House FitzroviaResponded on June 24, 2022Hi ICAD, Thanks for the positive review I'm glad you enjoyed your time with us. I'm sorry to see you weren't able to get through the pancakes. We make them like an American style pancake though, so they will be a bit thicker. I hope we see you again soon and that we can help find you something special from our menu. Many thanks, Ben

    Food is great, but service remains below par and the some of the shabby-chic furniture far from conducive for a relaxed breakfast. Note also, they open 08:30 and will leave you hanging outside.

    I chose a salad bowl with wild rice, quinoa, feta, carrot and asparagus. When it came i was loaded with spinach leaves. If I'd know this I would not have ordered it. Menu items really need to be described properly. Also I asked for a decaf coffee because I have been told for health reasons not to drink caffeine. I double-checked with the waiter that is was decaf when it arrived and he said it was. It wasn't. I felt unwell for the rest of the day. It was very disappointing when the cafe makes a point of being concerned to accommodate allergies and intolerances.

    Riding House FitzroviaResponded on June 11, 2022Hi there Lou, I am so sorry to hear you found your wild rice salad not as described. The amount of spinach leaves should not be as much as you have described, hence why it isn't described as such. I can only apologise for this blunder and investigate why this dish was sent like this. Secondly I would like to profoundly apologise for serving you caffeinated coffee despite you ordering decaf. I will be immediately looking into the point of failure and ensuring this doesn't happen again. If you plan to make another visit please drop me an email on ben@ridinghouse.cafe & I will ensure you are very well looked after. Many thanks, Ben

    I regularly eat at RHF and, until today, have always been a huge fan. We sat outside this afternoon and I think it’s fair to say they had a bad day. I hosted an outside table of 3 for an important client meeting. My guests and I all ordered starters / mains as well as a round of drinks. After a long wait both starters and mains all got delivered at the same time. When I identified the issue, the food was put on the table and I was told to take the issue up inside. Seafood and chicken wings / Buratta - better apart as separate courses. To save further blushes at the table we accepted and carried on. Not ideal at all. Drinks were also a problem, with our orders taking considerable time to arrive / drink orders from other guests being delivered instead of our own. Not their best day.

    We were a group of 5. We enjoyed the jubilee spritz and the birds&bees cocktails. For the sweet brunch option the berry pancakes were delicious and for a savoury option the smoked Cajun pepper stew eggs was a hit. We were welcomed and seated in a timely fashion despite it being a busy bank holiday weekend. The space felt spacious and airy. The service from the wait staff and front of house was great. I would go again.
