Conveniently located just off Oxford Street, The Riding House Cafe - Fitzrovia, is the perfect solution for anyone in need of refuge from the bustle of the festive chaos. Tucked away on Great Titchfield Street, there is a sense of calm as soon as you step inside, exactly what we need in this busy season. Behind the panoramic windows, the aesthetic is warm, cosy, unpretentious and very on-trend. The perfect hangout for a Christmas lunch with work or friends.
Opening up 4 spaces in the restaurant to host all the festivities, the Riding House Cafe can cater to all group shapes, sizes and dynamics.
The Stables
An intimate private dining room which can host up to 14 guests seated around one large table. The overall aesthetic is giving Chalet Girl vibes, exposed wooden walls, large leather dining seats and a large concealed TV to have a cosy fire crackling on the screen, all adding to the Christmas spirit.
The Dining Room
This exclusive space, complete with plush banquette seating, can accommodate up to 60 guests for a seated dinner. For smaller parties of up to 30, we can use part of the space to start your evening raising a toast, with welcome drinks and canapés, before we seat your group for your festive meal
The Sharing Table
The high top Sharing Table is located in the heart of the main restaurant, where your guests can soak up the atmosphere of Riding House Fitzrovia. The sharing table can be hired exclusively for up to 21 guests or shared between smaller groups.
The Lounge
Perfect for drinks parties of up to 25 guests, this space offers a mixture of standing and seating, whether for pre-dinner drinks or just toasting the year out. We have festive canapé and bowl food menus to perfectly accompany our drinks packages.
The menu itself is as equally as accommodating. Served as a shared dining experience, there is something for everyone. A huge range of both classic and slightly more contemporary plates are brought to the table for your party to help themselves to. A large amount of gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options are also integrated into the set menu as well as an additional fully vegan set menu. The options are endless and all equally delicious as each other.
This year, the Riding house will be open for the big day itself at both The Riding House Fitzrovia and Riding House Bloomsbury. From 11.30am and 3.30pm on the 25th December you will be able to enjoy a decadent five course set menu. Starting with the likes of Grilled flatbread with figs, goat’s cheese and braised onions, guests can then choose from starters to include Crisp oyster mushrooms with mustard dip, Earl-grey cured trout with spiced pear & caviar or Smoked barbary duck with puffed barley, umeboshi, quince & maple. This can be followed by the traditional Roast Turkey, with apple & raisin stuffing and pigs in blankets, or more unconventional choices such as Whole grilled sea bass, with prawns, cockles, samphire & tamarind butter or Truffled portobello & sweet Potato wellington with Porcini cream, all served with traditional trimmings for the table to share. For pudding, the table will be treated to a festive cheese board ahead of choices such as Christmas pudding or Chocolate & lavender marquise with Blackcurrant compote. So sit back, relax and allow The Riding House to take all the stress out of Christmas.
Reasonably priced for the amount of food provided, the Christmas set menu comes in at £65pp, the Vegan set menu at £55pp, Group menu at £50pp and the Christmas Canapes and Grazing Menu ranging between £18 - £25 pp depending on selection.
As well as The Riding House Fitzrovia, there are also branches in Bloomsbury and Victoria, each with unique tasting experiences. With this restaurant in such high demand consider this your cue to get booked up, we promise you won't want to miss out!
