    A gift voucher is nothing but a loan to the business, which they will then pay back to you with a goods or service. As you are a lender to the business if that business goes bust you go to the bottom of the pile when it comes to getting any refund.
    Thanks.  They haven't gone bust, just closed one restaurant.  They have several bakeries, another restaurant and two street food business. So they are still operating just don't want to give us the money back and spend it in another restaurant.  In context the now closed restaurant was a a high end expensive restaurant, 8 course tasting menus, Master chef winner owned, waterfront location etc...  The alternative is a small bistro in crap location.  Might just get £120 pounds worth of donuts from one of the bakeries 😅
    But as has been said it's not 'your' money to get back as you didn't pay for it.
