| Yep - still good. Marc's doing a very good job in restoring the former glory of the Vaults. Lot's of live music these days too - much appreciated. paul69 - 4 Oct 2008 10:48 |
| Glad to report the previous owners have gone and The Vaults is on it's way to becoming a cool place again. New manager with a better attitude, needs to manage his staff better though. Last week, packed bar, took ages to get served, 5 people behind bar, only two serving, the others three just pissing about chucking ice cubes at each other. Sort it out. Great pub though and I'm going tonight! paul69 - 26 Jun 2008 17:34 |
| Wouldn't go near the place in the evening but a good place for a sandwich and soft drink at lunchtime. The beer is average at best but the food was good and priced sensibly. Yorkshireman - 4 Jun 2007 16:44 |
| This pub has gone through many changes over the years and has been highly rated by many different cliques of people too. (including the pot heads during the 80's). The current management have tried to smartent things up without being too disruptive but unfortunately it has lost a lot of its old character and become slightly sterile. (do you REALLY need doormen at this pub? They are quite friendly guys but seem pretty pointless) I find it closes far too early on a weekend evening but the food during the day is good and fairly priced too. There are worse pubs in town. Food: Very good, good price Decor: Generally new but lost its old charm (shame) Toilets: Generally clean & regularly checked Service: One or two sour faces but mostly smiling & efficient.

| Time for an update - and what a shame. As I've said before, the Vaults was the best pub in town. The new landlord / lady have spoilt it. It's too bright, too loud, staff are rude and have a very strange attitude to customers (don't accept plastic, banned football shirts). Obviously it's their prerogative to do this kind of stuff, but silly to be alienating your regulars. However its still a great place - just wish the old managers were still there. paul69 - 9 Jan 2007 17:05 |
