Having been barred from most establishments in Oxford, the club has its annual dinner at the function room in a country pub.

The Club begins their dinner, and though the landlord is initially excited to have a wealthy, aristocratic party dining at his establishment, their raucous behaviour annoys the pub's other patrons, some of whom leave.

Chris, the landlord, is put off by their behaviour and tells them that they are disrupting his business; the boys settle with an arrangement with them paying for his losses to let them continue to stay, which he reluctantly accepts.

Alistair is sent down (expelled) from Oxford, being the only one arrested for the incident, whilst the others are allowed to continue their studies without any criminal charges.

The film concludes with Alistair leaving the meeting with Jeremy, a smug smile on his face as he walks down the street.

On 5 February 2013 it was reported that HanWay and Blueprint Pictures would produce the adaptation of the play Posh written by Laura Wade.

The producers would be Graham Broadbent and Pete Czernin, with the BFI Film Fund and Film4 Productions.

The site's critical consensus reads: "The Riot Club may not be subtle, but it makes its points with power, using dark humor and a talented cast to offer a scathing indictment of unearned privilege".
