In reply to M Lewis how you acted in the market vaults on the 3 occasions you have dined there,you were found to be very rude about gender and height of both female and male bar tenders,on every occasion the staff were polite to even though you thought it was hilarious with 3 others to intimidate the bar staff even from your table,at no point did either member of staff retaliate or make any remarks to you,customers also commented on how rude you were,I'm a regular and I witnessed this myself

To M Lewis, refering to a person as a Small woman is very rude, and if this is how you acted in the pub then I'm not surprised if you didn't find her friendly. I have used this pub for several years and have never found any member of staff rude. Service is great and value for money. By the sound of it you won't be missed.

What an awful experience today! Booked the table for 1pm. Upon arriving we’re told to vacate the table by 2pm. Ordered the meal immediately but wasn’t served until 1.40pm. The small woman behind the bar is horrendous. She should not be working in hospitality. What a very abrupt and unfriendly woman - not the first time either!!! Will never go back again and would never recommend anyone to go there!

We visited The Market Vaults on Good Friday lunch time with our two dogs, where we were given a warm welcome. I had a Joules pale ale and my husband had a Joules chocolate corker, both lovely ales. We decided to stay for lunch and I chose the home made steak and slumbering monk pie with mash, peas and gravy, my husband chose the three egg omelette with chips and salad. We were very happy with our food, plenty of meat in the pie. Overall we had a very good experience and will definitely visit The Market Vaults again next time we are in Tamworth.

Always come in here when in Tamworth for the September CAMRA beer festival. Plus points it's a Joules pub so the decor is very traditional pub, tied house type of decor (I would describe as "Samuel Smiths lite" and that is no criticism) ie lots of Joules branded mirrors traditional bar counter basically Joules full range of real ales and keg lagers (the keg lagers are a step above the national brands also on offer). From previous experience the hot food is very good, but on this visit I had a cob which, honestly was very basic (for comparison have a cob in the Windmill Rugby, that's basically a meal). So lost 1 🌟 from the review due to that. Overall very good though. Thank you.

Visited this traditional pub a few times now. We are only visiting Tamsworth. Found to be friendly and rolls superb. Really pleasant bar lady. Dog friendly but unfortunately our schnauzer sat on one of the plastic seats tonight , Sat ,the staff member spoke to us in quite an assertive manner. My wife and I will be going elsewhere tomorrow and until we leave . Their loss our gain!

I visited with my friend and granddaughters for lunch. We were warmly welcomed. Our meals were delicious and smaller portions provided for the children. I have to recommend the lasagne, it was perfect. We sat outside in the garden section and the barmaid, Sharon, was brilliant. She came out several times to see if we wanted anything and was very helpful. I would definitely recommend this pub.

We met up in Tamworth with my 89 year old Dad, there were 8 of us and we throughly enjoyed our time at the Market Vaults!! The food was really delicious and home cooked and very filling. The Slumbering Monk Ale my Dad had as a treat he enjoyed! The lady who served us hadn't been there long but was very welcoming and helpful, and so were the two local ladies i sat near us!! Highly recommend the pub as the atmosphere was how a pub should be. Well done to you All. Would visit again.

Tamworth is not necessarily on the tourist radar and approaching from the road it appears to be a collection of out of town retail parks - BUT venture into the old town centre and you will find a real treasure of a pub - The Market Vaults is a Joules brewery gem of a place. Two real fires, a fabulous welcome from the team behind the bar and some great ales. Sunday lunch needs to be booked so get in early - it is home-cooked fresh fare which looks amazing. Thank you to the lovely lady behind the bar not only for recommending the best beer but also accommodating us so beautifully even though we had not booked - we wished we had asked your name!

For your own sake I advise steer well clear of this place!! As you can see the “bacon” was cooked 😂 I’m surprised it didn’t appear as dust when it was cut in to! The fried bread was literally a piece of toast soaked in as much fat as the bread could handle
