Refuel at The Soho Hotel

Residents at the discreet Soho Hotel can expect to receive whatever they wish for – be it a chilled flute of vintage Champagne at the zinc-topped bar, a devil-may-care cocktail in a squishy armchair or a chic meal without the need to brave the queues. On-spec diners also appreciate the modern lines and warm colours of the welcoming but “English eccentric” dining room – think checked and spotted upholstery, teddy bear motifs etc. The menu of breezy international dishes offers seasonal riffs for business or pleasure – from crispy ham hock fritters with apple, radish and Pommery mustard or seared tuna with sweet soy, wasabi emulsion and coriander via thyme-roasted chicken breast with sun-dried tomato pesto, fillet steak with béarnaise sauce or gnocchi primavera to comforting puds such as lemon meringue pie. Refuel is also recommended for a “civilised” afternoon tea.

Set in the stylish Soho Hotel in the heart of London’s West End, Refuel Restaurant and Bar is a vibrant, art-filled space designed by creative director Kit Kemp. Perfect for everything from elegant dinners to a casual cocktail with a friend, Refuel offers a laid-back setting in which to relax, meet and celebrate.

Refuel at The Soho Hotel is located just a stone’s throw from London’s theatre district, making it an excellent spot to enjoy a bite to eat either pre or post-show. A pre-theatre and set menu is available if you’re looking to enjoy a speedier meal on a budget, with dishes such as crispy hen's egg with smoked ham hock and new season peas, or roast Cornish hake, chorizo and shellfish stew on offer. This menu changes regularly with the seasons to ensure the freshest produce possible.

Refuel specialises in modern British and European cuisine and you’ll find a selection of timeless favourites on its a la carte menu like Dover sole and Aubrey Allen ribeye steak. Elsewhere, discover specials such as Chalk Stream trout, buttered leeks, Veronique sauce and roast scallops with 'nduja and orange butter.

For dessert, find twists on classics such as a lemon tart with crème fraîche, and an elderflower and strawberry trifle, while a selection of British cheeses tempts those with less of a sweet tooth.

Visit Refuel in the morning to enjoy something from the breakfast menu, which includes hot classics, lighter options, vegan specials and porridge with a huge range of toppings. Or if you’re celebrating a special occasion, there’s a seasonal afternoon tea menu bursting with dainty savouries and sweet treats.

Finally, guests can sip on a glass of English wine from the dedicated ‘Grape Britannia’ wine list, or try a ‘Soho Original’ cocktail, inspired by the hotel’s former life as a car park.
