The Refinery Bankside

Had a fantastic lunch featuring top-notch fish & chips—crispy, golden, and full of flavor. The location is easy to access and nicely set up for a relaxed midday bite. The staff were outstanding: warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. A great spot all around!

An Exceptional Experience from Start to Finish I had the pleasure of dining here recently and was genuinely impressed by the entire experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and kindness — the staff were not just professional but genuinely welcoming, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere that made me feel at home. I ordered the rainbow bowl with halloumi, and I have to say, it was exceptional. Every ingredient was fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. The halloumi was beautifully grilled — crispy on the outside, soft and salty on the inside — and paired so well with the colorful array of vegetables and grains. It was not only visually stunning but also incredibly satisfying. To accompany it, I had a decaf café, which was smooth and well-prepared — no bitterness, just rich, comforting flavor. It’s not always easy to find a good decaf, but they absolutely nailed it. The interior design added to the overall charm — tasteful, cozy, and clearly well thought out. Whether you’re looking for a casual lunch or a place to unwind with a warm drink, this spot delivers on every level. I rarely take the time to write reviews, but this place truly deserves it. Great food, fantastic people, and an atmosphere that lifts your spirits. I’ll definitely be coming back — and bringing friends!

Lovely modern bar serving food in a beautifully designed ground floor setting between a Blackfriars and London Bridge. Friendly staff, pub grub with some twists. Good selection of non alcoholic beverages and cocktails
