Incredible Drinks and Unique Film Experience!

The Refinery isn't just your typical London spot; it's an establishment that takes the tried-and-true formula of dinner and a movie and adds a sprinkle of magic to it. Nestled in a chic, modern area just a brief stroll from Moorgate station, the restaurant offers a Taste Film event that is nothing short of delightful. Picture this: you and your friends gathered over delightful themed dishes while screening classics like "Mean Girls" or "Dirty Dancing." Sure, ordering through an app might feel a tad factory-made compared to the theatrical flourish you'd expect, but when you're biting into film-inspired bites with some seriously good cocktails in hand—that minor inconvenience melts away into the background.

Moreover, the staff speaks volumes with their dedication. Despite a few stumbles—like a dubious cheesecake here or a less-than-thrilling virgin mojito there—they pour every effort into making you feel welcomed and informed. The venue's posh interior, complete with cozy seating and refreshingly clean facilities, sets a relaxed tone—especially great if you’re diving into work chat over finger foods. Yes, prices steer into steep territory and that unavoidable service charge might keep you on your toes, but when the ambience is buzzing, the drinks smooth, and extras like plush hot water bottles during winter events are served up, you leave anything but cold. Watch for those tiny portions of chips though—they really do test the definition of 'gourmet' dining! — Milo Tastemaker
