Located in the heart of Bloomsbury, and just a short stroll from both King’s Cross and Euston Stations, Riding House Bloomsbury is known for its refined, but relaxed, cafe-style dining. If you’re looking for a central spot for your Christmas party, with some excellent transport links, then this could be the location for you. Here, you’ll find a rustic, industrial-style interior with wooden-panelling and tassel lampshades that are guaranteed to create a homely feel for your festive get together.
No matter the event, Riding House offers a number of versatile spaces where you can host everything from an intimate celebration to a full blown bash. The Courtyard offers a unique place for just 11 guests, dining under the moon around a Lazy Susan which takes place centre stage and makes for an easy sharing feast. Elsewhere the neutral, foliage-filled Dining Hall, can seat up to 80, banquet-style, across a number of large trestle tables. Need a Christmas party venue with a bit more space? Exclusive hire can seat up to 165 guests, with space for 200 if you’re looking to host a canapes and drinks reception.
You’ll also find several different menus available, allowing you to create a bespoke Christmas party. The Christmas group menu offers a traditional three course dinner, just with a Riding House twist. Expect the likes of beetroot-cured gravadlax or smoked barbary duck to start, followed by bone-in chicken schnitzel or truffled portobello and sweet potato wellington, with roasties, carrots, sprouts and pigs in blankets for the table. Alternatively, choose from the hybrid menu - where starters and desserts are shared - or feasting menus which allows guests to pick and choose between a number of sharing plates.
For something a bit different, you can even add a cocktail masterclass or self-guided wine tasting to your Christmas party package, for a touch of added merriment for the whole group.
