Great service and perfect cooked Sunday roast, very tasty too. One of the best in the area. It wasn’t busy, expect when it’s full or night time be more of atmosphere. Maybe music would help with that.

We love the small plates and have had them many times, however, the bao buns were dry mainly because the chef had skimped on the duck filling. Such a shame as we love this place and have introduced lots of new customers over the years.

We loved our food - especially the pork belly!! The only niggle was that all 7 of our small plates came within about 8 minutes of each other. Everything was delicious but we had to choose which of the dishes would be better eaten hot and which could go cold which was a shame. If the food was more spaced out it would have been 10’s all round.

We had a great evening. The only point to make was to remind your team to watch tables to check if customers want more drinks. We had to approach the bar to reorder as the (all extremely pleasant) staff were in conversation. It’s a minor point and didn’t detract from our evening but it’s something I recall from student days working in restaurants to keep an eye out.

Thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Staff were lovely and they kindly reimbursed us as post ordering the dish wasn't available due to chef being concerned over the fat content of the meat, I was impressed the staff were open about this instead of serving regardless of quality. For this reason alone we will be back. It was a great first visit.

Very welcoming as they had literally just opened for the evening. Main meal choices only about 6. Mainly tapas and light bites but plenty of choice. Vegetables all extras and slightly over priced. A couple of things mentioned as disappointing and no alteration to the bill. Chef advised... Good parking available.

We came on a Saturday afternoon, we were the only people there it did lack a bit of ambience the music was very quiet. To say we were the only people there for a good 2 hours at all the food service took a while. We ordered several small plates to share and there was a wait of around 20 minutes to bring out the Korean chicken when we already had all the other food so we were waiting but weren’t told there would be a wait so we didn’t start the rest of the items without it. The food itself was really nice and the lady looking after us was lovely!

We normally love The Vault but last night one of our guests sent back her Caesar salad as the chicken was too tough and another guest was given the wrong prawn dish so ate when the rest of us had finished & also the asparagus dish had been forgotten so came late. At £70 per couple it was disappointing & for me I was completely surprised as it’s usually excellent. Staff very pleasant & helpful, very apologetic too when errors were pointed out.

I felt the staff could have been more friendly, there was not a lot of smiling. She main was an £18 fish dish which was dry and didn’t come with enough sauce. I would only return if the vegetarian menu changed. Pasta and pesto or goats cheese risotto are not great choices. The environment is nice but as usual the couple tables are too close together.
