What Paul Johansing doesn't like about The Refectory Kitchen & Terrace:

Even the coffee was just warm , the staff... View all feedback. What Ilgin Ahmed likes about The Refectory Kitchen & Terrace:
Booked afternoon tea for a 50th birthday. Went for the prosecco option. Food was lovely. Sweet and savoury and actually could not finish so was given a box to take away the leftovers. Lovely room to have the afternoon tea and service was friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend. View all feedback.

Lovely staff, sheltered table, reasonably priced drinks, good ambiance

The restaurant offers a mixed dining experience, with some customers enjoying delicious food and attentive service while others were disappointed by slow service, incorrect orders, and lack of value for money. The atmosphere was generally praised, but poor management and organization were noted by some customers. The menu received mixed reviews, with some enjoying the selection while others found it lacking in options. Overall, the restaurant seems to have potential but needs to work on consistency and customer satisfaction.
