A grand brasserie set in midtown London, Holborn Dining Room offers seasonal, locally sourced British dishes with a twist that are served by a team of friendly staff in the vibrant setting. Within the buzzy dining salon, take in its bold interior that brings together red leather accents with exquisite copper-topped antique bars where diners can sip on a pint of local lager while enjoying a pie or pair wine with a selection of crustacea and charcuterie.

Made from seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, The Holborn Dining Room menu is divided into 8 sections, including bar snacks, a hot counter and grills. Steak tartare and Argyle smoked salmon lead the cold section, while decadent British classics like pan-fried chicken liver are served with a duck egg and black pudding. Other enticing options includes their juicy burgers from the grill.

The interiors at Holborn Dining Room exude timeless glamour with antique mirrors, red leather banquettes featuring tweed detailing, reclaimed wood throughout and its 2 patina copper-topped bars, while also dine al fresco on the British-style courtyard terrace. In the laid-back yet stylish setting, look to the copper-topped gin bar which pour London’s widest range of gin, specialising in G&Ts, gin cocktails as well as classic cocktails, spirits, wines and craft beers.

Spearheaded by executive head chef and pastry expert, Calum Franklin, The Pie Room at Holborn Dining Room serves as an extension to the kitchen with diners able to watch the chefs prepare more than 200 pies daily. The Pie Room is available for private hire, every evening, for up to 10 people.

We always enjoy a meal at the Holborn Dining Room. This visit was slightly less enjoyable. Despite having made an online booking and received a reminder the morning of the reservation the Dining Room had no reservation for us. This was resolved but should not have happened. Our meal was planned around a Sunday lunch and my wife and I chose the Sunday Roast. It was very good and more food than either of us could finish. I enquired about wine by the glass and a cabernet sauvignon was recommend. I ordered two glasses and then a second one for myself. When we received the bill I was surprised to see the wine was priced at £15 a glass. I admit that I did not enquire of the price when I ordered it, but I would have thought the staff should have advised me of the cost. To future diners.. be careful about the prices of the wine and other drinks.. but in the end I accepted that it was my fault as I did not confirm the cost. All in all a good experience notwithstanding these two small issues. We shall return.

We opted for the vegetarian option. We chose from one of the signature pies. It was fantastic, beautifully made and presented. House white wine was lovely. We also had deserts which were light and full of flavours. The staff were friendly and professional, a very well run establishment. Beautiful decor, creating a relaxing atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to others to go if you want a hearty meal that's full of flavour presented by great staff.

As soon as you walk through the door the ambience of the place hits you The staff are wonderful and cater to your every whim with a smile and conversation. The menu gets your tastebuds tingling and the food certainly doesn’t disappoint. The gin menu is to die for too and we will definitely be going back.

Absolutely wonderful on every level. Had the food been terrible it would still have been enjoyable. As it was the kitchen is of the same standard as the bar, the service and the venue itself.

Ambience is always good. Service was not up to usual standards. My sister had arrived directly from Heathrow. The coat check-in refused to store her cases due to high demand and was very unhelpful.

We called earlier in the day to check that beef Wellington was available and when we arrive for our 8 pm dinner reservation we were told it had run out earlier in the day and it was not available! This was unfortunate as it was the only reason we chose to eat at Hoban dining room. We were offered bread and butter and it didn’t arrive and the most expensive white wine on the menu tasted like a cheap seven Pound bottle.

The food is good but over-priced. The music is far too loud. There is no good reason for this as this is clearly a restaurant rather than a wine-bar.
