I had the crispy duck salad which was really delicious, a large portion, plenty of crispy duck. We were there for lunch it wasn't overly busy, staff were really friendly. They didn't rush us. Really can't fault it.
Good service . Nice friendly staff. Cool atmosphere. Excellent food. Probably the best steak I have had anywhere. Nice coctails a really great night out �
Efficient and friendly bar-staff, great DJ on Friday night, not over-crowded on a hot summer day. Drinks not too over-priced. Bar snacks were tasty... will return
Stumbled upon The Refinery for dinner on a Saturday night and we were so pleased there was a table available for us. Lovely menu, fantastic staff and wonderful food.
Absolutely beautiful food and stunning cocktails! The service was fabulous and nothing was too much trouble for the friendly and cheerful staff
Food is good, the venue is very spacious and has a large outdoor dining area. While it's great for lunches and post work drinks, on Wednesday at 10 they host parents and babies coffees and cake, with floor mats for babies to play. Genius
The ambience was good... Most of us wanted the wagyu burger but they ran out of that option.. I had cheeseburger which was good and the fries I had ordered was excellent. Whoever had ordered cheesburger were happy. But two of my colleagues had ordered tuna salad and lemon chicken and the dishes looked disappointing and they said it tasted bad.
The Refinery is actually the restaurant I have been to the most in London, as I work right in front of it and live very close by. I've had the experience of having both lunch, dinner and drinks at the Refinery and I have to say that the experience has always been good. This restaurant is usually packed every day of the week, so the service isn't always that quick - It really does depend on what hour you arrive! I highly recommend the Salt & Pepper squid with lemon mayonnaise and the Roman fries to share. I once had a fantastic steak of the day with Béarnaise sauce that was absolutely to die for! If you're around Southwark and fancy going somewhere for a drink, I also highly recommend the Refinery - It has great ambiance and an extensive cocktail menu!
I like the food and the drinks. Beware it is a loud venue with high levels of hubub. Great for after work instant atmosphere. Not for a quiet night or to talk about the boss. You'll be shouting before you know it.
I've been wanting to eat at a Drake & Morgan restaurant for a little while now, as not only are all of their restaurants so pretty and quaint but the menu is interesting and tasty looking too. I picked The Refinery for a belated birthday meal with my three oldest friends from infant school, all working in different parts of the city and finishing at different times it's a struggle to all be able to meet at a convenient time so a couple of us turned up early for a drink in bar. The Refinery has quite an extensive cocktail menu, serving a variety of different kinds of mojitos, the usual classics, some unusual favourites (check out the goldfish in a bag)… the list goes on. They also have a small section of skinny cocktails that are low on calories… perfect! The skinny porn star martini with a prosecco chaser I loved the dining room at The Refinery , with mismatched chairs, elegant candlesticks on every table, high ceilings, lots of (what looked like) reclaimed wood and a bit of a ga
It's one of those places that one might think 'Oh, it looks interesting, I want to pop in next time I be passing'. The decor is well-thought through, and the caffe/bar has a retro but cosy feel to it. In summer, they have deck chairs out and plenty of outside sitting space, which is very inviting. Inside beautiful flowers arrengmemts dotted throughout the venue and faux sheepskin covers and blankets thrown over the chairs which gives it homely feel. And as always, the toilets are noce and clean woth boheminan mirrors and a coctsil recoiye on it. A lot of noce toiches that givrs this pla e thst special feel. However toilets are based on first floor so it would be difficult for someone with physical disablities to get to. Otherwise everywhere else has easy access. It a massive place that can easily host over 100 people. The service was a bit disappointing as you must order and pay at bar and one would think that they would tend to table. We had some pre-dinner nibbles and cocktails and I must say: food is average, but cocktails are great. Menu has a section of cocktails that would interest any avid cocktail drinker. I will be coming back :)
Ambience lovely and quality of food good. However disappointed with very small Avocado toast which my friend got. One small slice of sourdough with smashed avocado - just under £10 when a more fair price would be in region of £6/£7. Current portion size does not do the toast aesthetic justice due to getting lost on a big dinner plate.
Nice place, good location and good food and drinks. The outdoor area is quite nice especially when the weather is good.
The staff was also very nice and helpful. Their bites such as mini burgers and other similar snacks were very tasty.
Would definitely recommend for groups and drinks and snacks.
We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant/bar and Chris' contribution was truly outstanding. He was extremely professional and friendly, taking the time to give us the best recommendations. He confidently suggested Chicken Mushroom Pie and the taste was absolutely divine. This dish was a real surprise full of delicious flavors. He also recommended White Rioja to accompany the meal and his choice was perfect. This wine perfectly complemented the taste of our dishes. We will definitely be back and enthusiastically recommend this place with such wonderful staff like Chris on board
The chefs are excellent! Brilliant food lots of options. Really chic atmosphere and gorgeous interior
