ABOUT US
Ria Thomas Social-
Eyes Bistro
The place to be seen, Eat, Meet & Drink
Drawing from 15 years of experience in London’s dynamic hospitality scene, founder Ria Thomas envisioned bringing sophisticated city dining to the heart of Earl Shilton. Social-Eyes Bistro represents the culmination of her expertise in hospitality and event management, combined with a deep understanding of creating memorable social experiences.
A significant life change in 2023 – the arrival of her first child – inspired Ria to return to her hometown of Leicester. This homecoming sparked a vision: to create a space that would blend urban sophistication with the warmth of local community.
