Our Story

A Community Hub, Not Just Another Pub

We took over the former High Salvington Post Office and opened a pop-up shop during the pandemic — a small step that quickly grew into something much bigger.

After a full transformation, we reopened in February 2022 as the Refreshment Rooms: a welcoming, independent community hub in the heart of High Salvington.
