Clean. Reliable. Does the job.

Decent for a quick bite, but don’t expect magic

The Refreshment Room is a place that’s working hard to stay afloat amidst the chaotic Turner Prize exhibition. Carol praised the staff for being friendly and keeping things clean, which is always a good sign. Fatma loved her cheese toastie and refreshing salad, but Barry wasn’t impressed with cold soup and the tiny portions. Alice just found it 'good not great', which kind of sums up the vibe here. If you’re in the area, it’s worth a pit stop, but manage your expectations for a culinary adventure; this is more of a quick bite than a destination.
