Refined — Restaurant in Mansfield

What a fantastic return for refined tonight! Me and my partner were extremely impressed with the fantastic service and tasty food! Refined is truly a hidden gem and you have to come to appreciate just how amazing this restaurant is. The new location of the restaurant is a massive improvement and it looks absolutely stunning! The students who served us tonight were all fabulous and they’re sure to do well in their time with you! Tonight, The themed evening was pub classics and I’m sure to say it was executed beautifully! The food was top standard and you’re sure not to find not too many places in the Mansfield area that can compete with the quality of the food and it’s price. Thank you for such a lovely evening refined and a big shout out to Clara for running the evening so well and professionally. We cannot wait for our next return, we certainly won’t be...

We were treated to dinner at Refined as a Christmas gift with friends. What a wonderful experience in a really lovely and relaxing environment. I love that the restaurant is run entirely by students as part of the hospitality courses run at the college, whilst being supervised by tutors, giving the students a real to life experience of working in the sector. We were having the seafood tasting menu and inwas delighted by every course. The food was prepared and cooked and served in a professional manner. Our party of four all had different favourites, I was so impressed by everything. My only critique being that we were not told which each dish was at it was served. Such amazing value and a great opportunity to support the students. I will...

Menu was very limited and not helped by two of the items becoming unavailable. It was also very difficult to read as there was nothing to distinguish between each serving.

My fish stater was over cooked.

The cauliflower serving between starter and mains was the worst thing I've ever tasted. No seasoning insipid water with a very geasey crouton floating in it.

My mains was lovely. But it had taken one and a half hours to make and be served.

Pudding. The ginger and rhubarb pudding may as well not had the rhubarb on it as it was tasteless and slimy.

I know the students are learning but maybe a tutor just needs to taste and check the menu before...
