Claremont Wine Vaults in North Somerset

Watched the Euros here over the summer, great deals and friendly staff, been in for food and it was lovely. Can't wait to try the carvery

Had an excellent carvery here Sunday lunchtime. Couldn't fault the food or the service

It's nice little pub hidden out the way with a great view of the sea...Weston-super-Mare and its brown shite colour sea. Had a sunday carvery which was absolutely delicious needed it after getting soaked in the rain. Would definitely recommend it

Nice pub beautiful views and cracking staff 👌 👍

Out of town a little. Quiet on the 2 nights we visited. Prices a little cheaper than some of town bars. Entertainment on it looks like Saturdays as we saw 2 brothers on guitars that we very good. Staff where pleasant. Days views of Weston-super-Mare are lovely from here. They serve food,but we didn't eat there. Dartboard , tv a d pool table all there,but plenty of room to sit away from that area if you wish.

Great fish and tank, love to see trophies, great view of marine lake, great food and lots of drink choices, friendly staff and place is very clean!

Cauliflower Cheese on menu, WAS NOT AVAILABLE!! No apology. 2 X Sunday Roast served, with no knifes & forks. Millie, the blonde haired waitress WAS RUDE. Tried to speak to Manger. Not available. WE ARE NOT TOURISTS. WE ARE LOCAL. We will definitely NOT be going again & will advise friends of the RUDE WAITRESS & not suppling food, which was suppose to be served. Spent near on £40. We made a BIG mistake visiting there. Never again, UNTIL, they serve up, what they are suppose to serve & get more polite staff. Score, lucky to get 1 out of 5. Service 0 stars. I would NOT RECOMMEND SUNDAY LUNCH, especially if you like Cauliflower Cheese, as although on menu, It was NOT SERVED!! NO APOLOGY GIVEN.

Great to see that this place has reopened. The best view of any pub in the town, plus a pool table and a decent selection of interesting things on tap. You can still get your sundowners in without worrying about the weather.

A little run down, but great views and a nice selection of drinks - would recommend!

This place closed about 5 years ago and now is open under knew management. Absolutely nothing has been improved and it's still the same old fixtures and furniture. For a pub that's quite a way out of the town center I would say that it's not worth visiting. My friends and I won't be visiting this place again.

Lovely views, lovely staff amazing food

This establishment is closed. Looks as though it has been closed for months. Carried on to captains cabin

Definetly will return great food and overlooks the sea.

This place is very popular for Sunday lunch.. they are not open all week and the pub is up for sale.Sunday lunch is very good. Lots of choice very good meat. It's run on a budget I would say but they do not skimp on Sunday lunch.

Great pub overlooking the sea, shame it is up for auction

Very pleasant, good service and food.Made very welcome.

The sunday carvery was amazing. Will be back

Nice pub a bit dated but clean, some great window seats with fantastic views of WSM promenade. Beer prices reasonable and staff are friendly.

Great traditional pub and lovely views across the bay

This was our first visit. I've heard that it's closing down which may have explained why they ran out of red wine?! Apart from this, I have to say that it was one of the best carveries that I've ever had. We sat on a window table enjoying the view out to sea.

Sadly due to covid only open Friday to Sunday.

Great friendly place made you very welcome .

Lovely food, warm welcome and a nice view over the mud flats

As always great Sunday roast carvery... Phoned for reservation and accommodated eight adults and two children. The food is always hot and fresh and a great choice of six meats and lots of fresh vegetables... Great value at £10 for large plate with the option to go back for more..

Great live music friendly staff

Nice place, nice view, right over the road from a shop to get your ciggys

A good friendly local basic pub. Good beers. Good piped music.

Visited again for lunch the other day - again pleasant greeting from staff - good choice of food (Sunday they have Carvery - book if possible). Good freshly cooked food - curry is great as is Lasagna and Fish - do daily special missed the stew the other day - would definitely have that. Although at far end of promenade if visiting it is worth the walk and if local plenty of parking nearby

We've stayed nearby a few times but this was the first time we went in to Claremont Vaults. It's OK. Lovely views out of the windows over the Channel. It's a pretty average pub. Nothing special but not bad. It's what you might expect from a simple local. We only went in for a drink but might have a meal there next time and see how that is.

Friendly easy going atmosphere..

This appears to be a pub of two halves. Downstairs is a noisy , brightly lit music bar which you can hear upstairs where there is a largeish pub area with some faded furniture , decent beer and average pub food. It’s good value and frankly the fact that it was quiet when all the other big places along the strip towards the pier were busy suited us as we wanted a quiet drink. The views over the bay are very good.

Good pub nice and friendly with great views cant beat it.

Nice music, old fashioned atmosphere, excellent views and the food was good. Also, the small glass of wine was generous :)

Pleasant quick visit but staff weren't especially cheerful.

Excellent choice of meats and I liked that with the large option you can go back for more. Very friendly, helpful and lovely staff

Hidden gem.. don't knock it till you've tried it..bar staff friendly food is second to none.. made our weekend thank you... o yer great music.

Highly Recommend the Sunday Roasts here, been many a time and I don't think anywhere beats this, maybe advisable to book a table in advance as can sometimes get busy. There are plenty of meats and vegetables to choose from and always cooked nicely.

A little treasure if you walk a little bit further

Great friendly staff, couldn't accommodate my family enough

I wandered in to this pub after visiting the Lifeboat station at Perbeck. I knew nothing about it, but noticed they did a Carvery, so I had the large £10. Return up for extra as much as you like.This in itself is a nice Carvery touch. The only problem being, I didnt want to return.The choice of meat is indeed very good, and I can't fault the meat in any way. .. However, the Veg. Oh the Veg ! The Roast Potatoes were ok, but nothing special as a Roaster should be. Slightly to long under the heat lamps, perhaps not the pubs fault. But, the Parsnips were coated in some kind of crispy batter, or perhaps just over cooked. The Carrots and Swede ( I think) was out of a Catering tin, or so it seemed. The Worst thing of all was the Stuffing, ( and this should be second only to the Roasters) . The Stuffing was of a Wet consistency. No crunch at all, and pretty tasteless. It was EXTREMELY disappointing. Not much else to say about the food. I wont be rushing back any time soon.The staff were friendly on the whole. Though I did almost have to shout at the woman behind the Bar for service. She seemed far more interested in the Back Bar display than me. I was rescued by another member of staff. On the whole, its OK but certainly NOT ....'The Best ever" .... "Absolutely fantastic " ..... "Really great food" ...... As some reviewers are saying. I had better, cheaper. Sort your Veg out and it might be a better experience. Fantastic views, and nicely decorated.

Good old English pub with plenty of seating and serving decent and well cooked meals, great Sunday carvery. Family have been coming here for years, very accommodating owners and staff who are always willing to make slight changes to meals for us, good value, good beer, nice views.

Tried this establishment for the first time last Christmas Day, Superb. Lovely carvery with lots of fresh veg to eat. Welcoming, friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Need to book. Will definitely be going back.

Good food and pleasant atmosphere

Brilliant landlords. A must visit pub

Not a bad carvery for a spur on the moment 😀

Yuk, what a grubby naff place for such a stunning view! If someone with some savvy took this it could be THE place. Dated with no connections to the sea front or harbour. How about some great sunset photos taken by locals? Air the place in the day? Landlord /lady might want to listen to a few young opinions on decor, hygiene, music menu and cocktails?! Shame, I used to go here when I was in my 20s. Had an energetic young clientele, now old and dowdy.

Lovely food and friendly staff would definitely go again

Lovely pub over looking Weston super mare bay lush Sunday lunch .good selection of wines spirits and beers .does get busy Sunday

Great hospitality. Freindly and very welcoming

Great pub fresh food friendly brilliant staff a management to me 5 star

Popped in for a quick drink, whilst out walking. Left after 5 hours and a great meal. Definitely returning.

Friendly staff and well kept beer. Prawn sandwiches were exceptionally generously filled and salad fresh. Nice sea views from a somewhat dated interior. Delivers more than its appearance would suggest.

When visiting and out walking around WSU, we pop in here for a beer on the way back to the hotel. Super views, staff are nice and friendly, their choice of music is right up my street. The pub itself is a bit tired looking, but hey ho !!

This is unfortunately one of those pubs where everyone looks at you funny when you walk in, as you are not one of the ‘regulars’. Decor was very dated and the whole place overdue a much needed clean. Fire exit at the rear was blocked by a large chair on wheels covered in Christmas lights. As the final nail in the coffin, the food and drink left much to be desired. Very disappointing and will not be returning for the foreseeable future.

We visited the Claremont Vaults during the Christmas Period for a Carvery. The views are good; just a shame the view is of Weston. The interior decor is very run down, the drinks were overpriced and they don’t accept card. No problem we thought; this legendary carvery will make up for it. Unfortunately not, while there is a large selection of meat (including Lamb and Salted Beef) that was very tasty the vegetables were watery and tasteless (worst than most frozen veg) while some parsnips were still raw in the middle. The icing on the cake however is the gents toilets; which had no soap and no running hot water. What pub serves food yet has nowhere to wash your hands properly after using the toilet…

Superb Sunday lunch. Excellent value for money

Substantial carvery on Sunday is great value for money and very popular. Pleasant and friendly bar staff. Doombar on draft.

Three of us visited on a Sunday about 2pm for a carvery. Unfortunately on arrival the landlady wasn’t overly friendly but we let it slide and continued to queue for payment and drinks. Once my friend received her nutroast we joined the carvery queue and were impressed at the choice of meats (5). It was a tasty roast and good value for money! Just a a little attention to detail on the customer service front needed!!

Good old fashioned pub with a wonderful carvery on a sunday.

Service excellent.staff polite and friendly..food fresh and cooked to perfection and plenty of it..would recommend to anyone to try for themseves..Delish.

The menu is small,but the food is good quality and all freshly made ,with lovely fresh vegetables, and wonderful views from the restaurant

Visited in September for a Sunday Roast. Couldn't fault it. Had a choice of 6 meats with a choice of three, or vegetarian roast. Lovely vegetables and the best roast potatoes and parsnips ever. Would highly recommend.

We had a delicious steak meal at this pub looking out over marine bay. We will definitely go there again, nice friendly staff.

Went in with a friend at around 8pm. It was dead, a couple in a corner and a few older gents at the bar. Waited around 10mins to be served....there was just no one behind the bar. Eventually was served by the (very rude and huffy) landlady. Not a smile in sight. We ordered a draught beer each and it was almost undrinkable. We decided not to mention it to the landlady given how everything seemed too much effort when we ordered. No music, no atmosphere. If you want my advice go to the terrace pub, it’s next door bar one, down some steps and give this tired, empty pub a miss.

We’ve been to Claremont vaults a few times and it’s always been excellent. Today we had a table with a lovely view over Marine Lake. There is a choice of 6 meats, all are lovely. The roasted parsnips are the best, but go for the smaller ones as the big ones are sometimes a bit hard. Roast potatoes can be a bit hit miss at other places, but never here. The only thing that would make this even better is mashed swede and cauliflower cheese. But hey, you can’t always have everything!!

We visited the Claremont Vaults a couple of weeks ago whilst on a long weekend stay in Weston. We've walked past the pub on a few occasions on previous trips but this is the first time we've been there. It was really nice to find what I would term The Claremont Vaults as a friendly local and it was great to find somewhere with a pool table! The staff were really friendly and the menu was good, it was a shame that we had to go home on Sunday and miss out on their carvery which has been highly recommended by friends. We will definitely be popping in next time we're in Weston. The view's from the vaults are great! We look forward to returning.

Jaded but great location overlooking the bay, really welcoming and friendly staff, hot drinks served, gigs Sundays around 5pm, outside terrace, nice atmosphere, pool table.

I've written before of how good the Claremont Vaults' Sunday carvery is: the service, the reasonable prices, the very generous helpings of lean, well-cooked meat. All of these things are still true, but our third visit revealed a bonus of which I hadn't previously been aware. I have, since my last visit, become a vegetarian. Not, I hasten to add, because of my last visit - in fact, the CV's salt beef was in my list of 'reasons not to become a vegetarian', but I have, so there we are. This time around, I had the nut roast. I didn't have high expectations - nut roasts were the butt of too many jokes during my childhood for me to look forward to my meal with any great enthusiasm. I am pleased to say, it was absolutely lovely! Textured, tasty, well-seasoned and served with an individual boat of vegetarian gravy. Everyone's meat looked lovely, but I didn't feel I'd missed out. Excellent meal, as usual.

We went here twice both were great but experiences.

This is an excellent bar and Restraunt, Elaine and John who run it can’t do enough for you, the service and meals are spot on. So if you are in Weston for the day or longer make sure it’s on your list to do, you will not be disappointed.

Great free house / restaurant. Situated end of seafront. Sunday lunch a legend - booking advisable especially for window seats - views to die for. Music Sunday evening. Good pool/TV area. Outside verandah/drinking area -what views over bay. Located in residential/ hotel area away from town centre idiots ! Worth a visit . only downside is it could do with upgrade.

The Claremont Vaults offers a fantastic Sunday lunchtime carvery. We visited for the first time a few months back, and enjoyed an exceptional meal. I was nervous about a second visit, in case it was a one-off, lucky treat. It wasn't - today's meal was just as good. They offer a choice a six meats. Helpings are generous. Lamb - good lamb, too - is included in the options. That's unusual in a carvery; lamb is so expensive, I don't know how they make it pay. My highest praise is reserved for the salt beef. Salt beef is brisket that is brined for 7 - 10 days, and then simmered. This produces a tasty, tender meat that is a beautiful deep pink. I feel my Jewish ancestry calling; oy veh - if only all meat tasted this good. The roast potatoes and parsnips are excellent: the veg reasonable. Gravy is (I would say) made with meat juices and very tasty. The horseradish is fresh-tasting and a bit fiery. The vaults isn't perfect - the decor is tired and there's no parking - but service is good, the pricing is great, and the food is excellent.

Food was over cooked and tasteless!

Returned here after a couple of years and very glad to say the carvery is still first class in quality and value. Do not be put off by the lack of kerb appeal or decor the food makes up for it. Only down side cliente swearing and smoking by the door meaning it was shared by diners inside.

Food was delicious. They had entertained which was great We had a great time The view is lovely over looking knightstone lsland Well worth the visit We will be back

Amazing food as always n the salt beef is the best.

We went the Claremont Vaults for Easter Sunday lunch, with my in-laws, and our fourteen year old son and twelve year old daughter. My wife and I used to go to the Claremont often, about twenty years ago. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's under new management and I thought I wouldn't recognise the place. I did - it looks just the same. To call the decor unpretentious is to understate the case; it's tired, it's lived in, it is not up-to-date, modern, or corporate. The family that run it don't wear uniforms. Nobody greets you or asks you 'what can I get you today, guys?'. It is like coming out of a storm into a safe place, where friendly, unpretentious people pass the time of day with you while you queue for food. And my, what food! I had salt beef that sang on the palate; rich, deep umami flavours that danced across the palate and elicited involuntary murmurs of delight. I also had piles of sweet, pink lamb that melted on the tongue. There was also pork, beef, turkey and gammon - you could have up to three meats. For £10 you can recharge your plate ad-hoc, but as my job doesn't involve any physical effort, I would never need to do that: the 'regular' plate I was given defeated me at around two thirds. Fantastic as the meat is, the roasted parsnips are the real star of the show. Buttery, flour-coated exemplars of root vegetable royalty, their sweet flavours enticed and delighted. There are also excellent roast and new potatoes, frozen mixed veg and yorkshires, and fresh cauli, broccoli and savoy cabbage. Gravy and accompaniments were good, too. There are two sittings, and we did have to be moved on during coffees to make room for the next party, but we had been given a solid hour and a half to enjoy our excellent food. Puddings are a selection of ice creams and steamed puddings, which went down well with those who could accommodate them: I can't comment because I was done for by that point. It's tempting to give a poor review just so I can get a table next time I visit: if people find out how great the food is here, and how good the value is, it will be booked solid until the end of time.

Very nice place good food excellent ales I would reccomend to anyone.

Had a couple of meals and few pints here. Got to be one of the best eating place's in weston. Food was excellent couldn't fault a thing and the staff were all very friendly. Definitely be back. Thanks.

Excellent fresh food. Great choice of meat and vegetables. Friendly service and stunning views. Great Sunday lunch meal and good price. Will definitely be back!

Great Sunday Carvery at a reasonable price.

Table in window reserved. Excellent views. No information on table as how to proceed, but quickly answered by staff member.

great landlady and home made food

Fantastic food and the best Sunday Carvery in the West. Great pub and the staff are polite and pleasant. Good atmosphere and superb views across Marine Lake. Highly recommend 👌👍

Live music in this pub each Sunday evening. Don’t miss Maltloaf, Beaver or The Road Stewart Experience just to name a few. We’re fortunate to live opposite and always make time for free live entertainment. Great evening for cost of a couple of drinks.

awful place, decor is tired, not cared for, drinks are quite pricey, staff not friendly and don't seem to want to be there, it was dead most times we went,

Well, we went into Claremont Wine Vaults for Sunday lunch and the food was very as was the choice. It was nice and freshly cooked and the staff were very helpful. My party of friends said they would all use again.

Went with a coach party of 48 today and had a fantastic experience. We all had carvery served on hot plates quickly and efficiently with an excellent choice of turkey, ham, pork, salt beef (you could have had all the meats), loads of veg choice (roasted parsnips to die for) yorkshires, very generous portions for everyone followed by homemade sherry trifle or apple pie - all of which was gorgeous. John and his staff were brilliant hosts really welcoming and very helpful. Fantastic views over Weston bay, although it was raining today.

Food was lovely and large portions and the view over the sea superb. BUT absolutely crying out for redecorstion and some TCL. Plaster crumbling off walls, chewing gum under the table, dirty carpets and no atmosphere. Back bar display zilch and scrawled smudged blackboards . What a crying shame.

Dog friendly! so much so that when I couldn't finish my (very good) liver & bacon main course, the lovely waitress (who had already given my Yorkie a dog biscuit) offered to wrap it in foil for my little pet to enjoy later. Pleasant, comfortable & a good welcome.

Wonderful pub. Great pub. Havnt eaten here,but the carvery I saw served was fantastic! The staff are great.

Went here for a Sunday carvery.excellent . plenty of meat. I had pork and gammon cooked to perfection. Nice fresh new potatoes and roast potatoes lovely roasted parsnips and a nice array of fresh vegetables and nice gravy. It's making me salivate writing the reviews. Could just eat it now.

Visité por primera vez en varios años no queríamos algo para comer y cadena Pub disfrutamos el servicio agradable y buena comida y vino mientras sentado mirando el lago marino. Si el menú estándar es por que definitivamente volveré a probar sus asados del domingo (que dice reserva recomendado). Aunque el paseo de distancia del centro de la ciudad, vale la pena el paseo

Amable y acogedor pub con vistas fantásticas al lago marino. Mesa de billar, diana, jukebox, buena cerveza, perros, niños. La comida es simplemente para morirse. Buenas porciones de comida casera. Que si en Weston. . Todo bien hecho. En bóvedas de Claremont

Nice friendly bar staff. Nice looking traditional pub. Beautiful views of Marine Lake and sea at back of Pub. Carvery fantastic, smashing and loads of choice

Un gran pub y un personal increíble comida increíble y simpático lugar muy recomendable para comer asado los domingos y el buffet es imprescindible

Traditional pub, good food, good value.

Yo vivo en Weston y han utilizado este pub para un juego de pool antes, pero habiendo tenido algunos amigos para el fin de semana, que tenían sus perros con ellos leímos en línea que podíamos llevar nuestro amigo peludo en el Claremont. Así que sube la mar llegamos al pub a las 19:00h esperando para cenar allí. Era un domingo, y no sabía que sólo sirven un asador durante el día y el restaurante está cerrado los domingos por la noche. El caballero corriendo el pub John, era un total de cuatro estrellas. . Teníamos hambre de detección. Él nos ofreció una mesa y nos dijo que podíamos llevar pescado y patatas fritas de la venda al lado. . Si nos arrepentimos.. Habiendo tenido que para el almuerzo, mis huéspedes dijeron que iban a tomar una copa y luego dan un sándwich más tarde. John inmediatamente preguntó si podía darnos una fuente compartir para mantenerte! Qué cosa hacer muy generoso! Algo que no he experimentado por muchos años en un pub/restaurante. Entonces, él desapareció para darnos una fuente maravillosa de diferentes alimentos que podría cocinar sin disparar el pleno parrillas y horno. Estamos muy agradecidos a él, esto hizo nuestro fin y sin describir su hospitalidad como por encima y más allá de su deber. Muchas gracias por un servicio excepcional. Volveremos muy pronto. Top colega

Only place in Weston for great carvery in our opinion. no other place does salt beef and colcannon mash. Thatchers Gold on tap and job done. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Right on the seafront if you want a stroll after. No complaints and always good food.

Lovely carvery. Loads of choice of meat and veg. Roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings were perfect. Staff were very friendly and found us a table even though we hadn't booked and it was quite busy. Lovely view of Weston seafront. Will definitely be going back.
