LONDON EATERIES – The Refinery Regent’s Place, the perfect after work stop for city slickers
This modern bar and restaurant is situated a stones throw from the West End in Regent’s Place, just a couple of minutes walk from Warren Street tube. The restaurant has cafe type seating outside, perfect for the summer if you just fancy a quick drink or a bite on the terrace.
As soon as you enter you notice the Refinery is buzzing with a slick crowd who are enjoying all that this funky place has to offer. The bar looks like a beautiful greenhouse with a high glass wall adorned with green plants and numerous bottles. It is clear this funky establishment can serve whatever drink you desire. The Porn Star Martini’s are exquisite, with a beautiful creamy head and a little spoon to taste every seed of the delicious adorning passion fruit.

Set by a Square of offices, it is sure to be busy on a Friday, lunchtime or evenings after work. The tall glass ceilings offer a spacious and relaxed feel, while the kitchen is open and beautiful copper heat lamps hanging down to keep your just served food warm. The tables are wooden with tartan or fluffy seats and set in a warehouse style. Funky house music plays in the background and tall seats separate the diners from the drinkers.

The staff at this central London venue could not be more helpful, we were greeted with a smile as soon as we entered and were taken to our seat within seconds. Our lovely waiter could not do enough for us, it is clear service is a skill that the Refinery excels at.

We began with the roasted portobello mushroom, paired with taleggio cheese on bruschetta, the combination proved to be tasty, with the tangy cheese providing a welcome kick alongside fresh water cress, succulent mushrooms and pesto. The waiter was more than happy to swap fries to salad to accompany the whole Scottish lobster, which proved to be tender with a wonderful herb and butter sauce, perfect to put your tastebuds in a frenzy. Our side of tempura squid was perfectly crispy and the food presentation was nothing short of excellent.
If you would like to enjoy delicious cocktails with friends in an open and modern space, after work dinner in a buzzing atmosphere, excellent service and good food, The Refinery is for you!
