Refund of meal charge

Apologies if this is the incorrect area for refund advice.

My work recently had their Xmas meal and I was attending, sadly I had to cancel due to another commitment. I called the venue directly on the Monday morning to let them know and was informed that they had taken my name and would cross me off the list any refunds would need to be given by the person at my work that was organising it.

She was out of office until today (Fri) and has told me this morning that no refunds will be given. I have contacted the venue again but they have also said no refunds are given on meals as they need 48 hours notice. I explained that the meal was 1800 on the Weds night and I called Monday morning, but was told again, no refunds. If it was only a few pounds, despite the principal, I wouldnt be too bothered but I paid £25 for a meal that I told them in advance I would not be having.

Would anyone be able to let me know where I stand ?
