The Refinery Bankside is a bar and open plan restaurant at 110 Southwark Street, within the landmark Blue Fin Building and close to Tate Modern. Its industrial inspired interior includes a lounge, mezzanine, dining areas and a covered terrace. Service runs from breakfast into the evening, making the venue suitable for an early meeting, lunch, dinner, drinks or a larger celebration.
The seasonal food menu moves from small plates and sharing dishes to salads, flatbreads and lighter lunches. Crisp squid, prawns, chicken skewers, vegetables, cheese and charcuterie may all appear in combinations designed for the centre of the table. Breakfast and weekend brunch add eggs, toast, pastries and more substantial morning plates.
Larger choices draw on British and international comfort food, with burgers, fish and chips, steak, roast chicken and fragrant curry among the familiar formats. Fish, seafood and changing vegetable dishes give diners alternatives to meat. Sides and salads make it easy to build a meal around individual preferences, including vegetarian and vegan choices.
Desserts offer baked, chocolate and fruit based finishes, while the bar is a major part of the experience. Classic cocktails, creative house recipes, spritzes and alcohol free serves sit beside wine, craft beer and cider. The range of spaces, regular events and all day format give The Refinery the flexibility of both a neighbourhood restaurant and a social Bankside destination.
