"I have been visiting this place on and off for years whenever I'm exhibiting at the nearby Olympia. It is a hidden gem, tucked away as it is in the residential streets that surround the Olympia complex. It is always friendly, and welcoming and very good value. On the downside it is a little drafty, a little shopworn and can be noisy with the coffee machine constantly cutting in, so it isn't conducive to conversation. The wooden chairs and ceramic floor aren't that comfortable, so it isn't very cosy and probably not a good venue to spend a lot of time in. But for a quick breakfast or snack it is ideal, and they tend to do quite a brisk take away trade, so for the most part the ambience isn't an issue. I always have the full English breakfast, which is substantial, and much more reasonably priced than say a typical Wetherspoons breakfast. This one has a meaty sausage and comes with ample beans, thick bacon and two eggs on toast (see picture). No measly portions here. All that for £9 with a drink included. I'm so pleased that this place doesn't cynically hike its prices just because of its location. It is a traditional honest to goodness caff that is also quite popular with the cabbies, and let's face it, they know a thing or two. I would recommend checking this place out before opting for the ubiquitous branded coffee chains that abound only a short walk away in the nearby Kensington High Street."

"As someone who enjoys dining out and trying new restaurants, I was extremely disappointed by my recent experience at The Galloping Horse. From the moment I walked in, I knew that this would not be a dining experience worth remembering. To start with, it was clear that the food at this establishment was not made fresh. Everything tasted as though it had been cooked from frozen, and lacked the depth of flavor and texture that comes with freshly prepared ingredients. The vegetables were limp and flavorless, the meat was dry and tough, and even the sauces lacked the vibrant, complex flavors that are characteristic of homemade cooking. I was thoroughly disappointed by the quality of the food, which left me feeling unsatisfied and wishing I had gone somewhere else. The chips were particularly bad. They tasted cheap and flavorless, like they had been purchased in bulk from a discount warehouse store. They were clearly not made fresh and lacked the crispy texture and salty flavor that makes them such a beloved side dish. I couldn't help but feel like I was eating something that had been thrown together quickly and without care. To make matters worse, the prices at The Galloping Horse were extremely high, especially given the low quality of the food. I felt like I was being ripped off, paying exorbitant prices for food that tasted like it had been sitting in the freezer for weeks. It's clear that this restaurant is more interested in making a quick profit than in providing its customers with a quality dining experience. Overall, I cannot recommend The Galloping Horse to anyone who is looking for a satisfying meal. The food is clearly not made with care or attention to detail, and the prices are far too high for what you get. Save yourself the disappointment and look for another restaurant that will provide you with a more enjoyable dining experience."

"I’ve taken a few days to write this review as didn’t want to write it when angry! Took my daughter , daughter in law and there newborns for breakfast as a treat, we placed our order my daughter ordered a full English asked for her bacon to be well done (crispy I ordered Welsh Rarebit, daughter in law an omelette. Full English came out with anaemic bacon I got a croque monsier omelette was perfect. We called the waitress asked for the bacon to be cooked to how we ordered said mine was wrong. She took mine away left the mushrooms , took the bacon but left the rest of the breakfast on the table, (bacon came back still not crispy so again was sent back and by this time the rest of her breakfast was cold and the scrambled eggs had made the toast soggy beans had a skin on them so breakfast was not eaten. When they came to clear the table my daughter pointed out that the breakfast was ruined was ASKED if she wanted to see the manager, the chef came out (manager? asked what the problem was said he would remove it from the bill which we said was a nice gesture as paying £15.50 for something that could not be eaten was a bit much, I then pointed out that my order was also wrong and that I was left with the mushrooms he replied yes I did hear that but I was on pastry I’ll also remove that…Then off he went! Within minutes he came storming out said he had spoken to the waitress that we got what we ordered( I don’t like to be called a liar! He done a complete 360 told us our breakfast was COMPS to get out not come back as we don’t like their food! I replied I was more than happy to pay for what we had eaten and our coffees again in front of all his customers told it was COMPS to GET OUT!!! So a word of warning if you go there and something is not to how you ordered please be aware they cannot take criticism and this is how you are treated!"

"I visited the Pier Cafe last year in 2023. At that time, the waitresses would take your orders at the table, and I got friendly with one of the young women who worked there. She was lovely to talk to and I went back there quite a lot for eats and drinks, as the food is actually quite tasty. However this year the atmosphere seemed different. You now have to go to the counter to be served as well, which admittedly i wasn 't too bothered about. In fact it is not even my main complaint.!. But then one day a few weeks back, one of the waitresses became very 'curt ' with me when she saw me looking through the window of the cafe. I was just checking to see if the inside cafe was open or not. She seemed rather annoyed though and told me to go round the other side to be served. But instead i just walked awayl. Authoritarian just doesn 't appeal to me, not since I left school in the 70s anyway. I went back again today a few weeks later and the same person was working there. She saw me but said nothing. However, her expression said it all! I no longer felt welcome there!. So I bought a quick drink, downed it as fast as I could and got out of there. Judging by the reviews, many of which are positive, it seems that the staff who work there either like you, or they don 't. Maybe they just don 't like me: not anymore anyway! Regardless, I no longer felt welcome in the way I once did. I don 't suppose I will find that other lovely waitress I saw who made me feel valued as a customer. In any case, unless there is a complete turnover of staff, I shall not be using the place again. As they have enough customers, it won 't be any skin off their nose. I wish them all the best for the future."
