The Vault, Whitby — Restaurant in England

Booked here for our first night in Whitby, the lady at our B&B said it was quite new and hadn't heard anything about it. She was quite interested in what we thought the next day.

It is a very nice place to eat, it has a new feel to it but I wouldn't have know any different if I hadn't been told. The service is good but not in your face, the food is very good and was nice and hot. The atmosphere was OK, it wasn't completely full but had a nice vibe.

I had the king prawns with wasabi for starter, my wife had pork & cheese croquettes. Both are delicious and I would recommend either of these. For our main my wife had the chicken supreme and I had the duck, both come with a version potato and veg. The duck was delicious, exactly as it should be cooked, not tough but easy to cut and eat, if I was being ultra critical, the sauce was very rich and tasty, but I thought they had put more on the dish than was needed, but that's just me, someone else might like a lot of this so that's fair. We had a bottle of wine, it was called pocket watch and its a shiraz. This was reasonably priced and a pleasant drink that went well with the duck.

We didn't have dessert as we both felt full as the portion sizes are good.

Prices are fair for all food and drink

I would happily recommend this place to friends and family without a second thought.

Will done all the staff at this place,...

My wife and I decided at the last minute to have a day out in Whitby and when we arrived we decided to find somewhere to eat. We walked away from the sea front fish and chip shops as we find them overpriced and mediocre food. We stumbled upon The Vault as we were wandering and thought we would take a look. So glad we did. The atmosphere, service, music was great and then the food arrived. Absolutely fantastic probably still doesn't come close. My wife had fish and chips which was cooked perfectly in batter so light it was almost like breadcrumbs. Homemade tartare sauce and some mushy peas finished the dish off nicely. I had the muscles in a slightly spicy sauce with sausage meat in and every one of them was gorgeous. Not one unopened shell. We shared a creme brulee for desert and that was just as yummy. So if you're looking for a great place to eat with fantastic food you should get to The Vault.....you won't be...

Booked a table in advance for the wifes birthday yesterday the 14th . On arrival we where total ignored to the point I had to asked the bartender he looked at the bookings and just pointed at a table "your sat there" No a good start .. Food wise it's like something from the 1970s the wife's steak was terrible and not cooked as requested my steak wasn't much better and was accompanied with a large amount of salad to go with fries and a pepper sauce.. Really?? The cost of the one meal was deducted, but you go for an experience and the a pleasant night this was far from achieved. Nice website but this doesn't reflect the actual restaurant. Very...
