   I chose this place because I remember enjoying the original Riding House Cafe years ago, and it was handy for the Curzon cinema. It was a depressing experience. Like a bad chain restaurant at high prices. The food was awful: frozen-style cardboard pizza with something like mayonnaise dribbled over it. Flavourless ‘smash’ burgers. Battered squid with huge lumps of garlic. In short, sad.

   We dined at the bar counter, which was nice and casual. I had chopped salad and lemon chicken, just enough for a light supper. Off menu I ordered a spicy marguerita which was delicious. Good, friendly service, nice ambience. I'm a big fan of Riding House and find all three venues have consistantly delivered.

   Pleasant after show birthday meal. On arrival staff asked if special occasion and I had also put in booking notes of possible to put candle in desert. This was arranged and nice surprise in a additional slice of cake on top of the desert we had ordered. Took this slice home along with pizza that my son was too full to manage. Food all very nice. Rum ba ba bit dry one half....pizzas were v good. Took a while after main for server to collect desert order which made us slightly rush for our train.

   I was really impressed with everything today. We went for lunch with 4 adults and 1 toddler and they were very accommodating with my daughter. The service was friendly, the food came quickly and everything we ordered was delicious. Very nice staff.
