The short answer
ROKA Mayfair holds card details at booking but does not charge upfront for standard tables. Cancel more than 24 hours before your slot and you pay nothing. Cancel inside 24 hours or no-show and they charge £20 per guest to the card on file. Pre-paid upgrades and group/experience deposits are non-refundable once inside the cancellation window.

How long does a ROKA Mayfair refund take?
Most merchants agree to a straightforward refund within 1 to 3 working days of a well-written email request. Once agreed, the money itself takes another 3 to 5 working days to land, that part is card-network processing and no merchant can skip it. If nothing has arrived 10 working days after a written “refund approved”, reply on the same thread asking for the ARN (acquirer reference number), which your bank can trace.
Note ROKA Mayfair’s own policy works on a 1-day window, ask inside it and the request is routine; outside it you’re relying on goodwill or statutory rights.
