Thank you all at The Refuge

We had such a special experience at The Refuge and I wanted to leave a note of genuine thanks.

Our visit was a celebration day, and from the moment we arrived we were made to feel warmly welcomed and truly cared for. Hannah, our waitress, was exceptional, attentive, curious, and wonderfully engaged. She gave us time, care, and presence, and made our lunch feel relaxed, joyful, and unhurried.

What unfolded at the bar was an unexpected and very touching bonus. Through a conversation sparked by my drink order, Callum took the time and creativity to design a cocktail inspired by a long-standing favourite of mine – and then went one step further by naming it “Dawn ’til Dusk”, in celebration of my first book, which is a fundraiser supporting people living with and recovering from Long COVID.

That level of interest, playfulness, and generosity is rare. It turned an already lovely day into something memorable and meaningful.

The Sunday Lunch was delicious, as were all our starters. My husband and I highly recommend the Liquorice Ice-cream and custard tart. Everything was served with care and attentive staff.

Thank you to the whole team, but especially Hannah and Callum; for making us feel so genuinely spoilt. It wasn’t just great food and drink; it was kindness, connection, and care, beautifully delivered

What an absolute legendary experience.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful with the amazing choices this location offers. Had an afternoon tea in the solarium. As frequent travellers we look to enjoy the best possible experience and atmosphere when abroad, this place delivered in spades. The hospitality staff were exceptional, the drinks refined and all we had expected. The food was perfectly balanced and refined, above our expectations. Thankful to have had this wonderful opportunity and hope to return in the years ahead.

Ate here on Valentines night and have to say it was pretty spectacular. The food and service were excellent. The DJ playing music in the bar area was a little loud for a romantic dinner but it wasn’t unbearable. The portions were very generous and it wasn’t too pricey.
