Two of the staff I saw when I used to drink there were lovely but the older one with dark hair is absolutely horrible. Came in from a smoke after being a paying customer who had spent decent money there that night and she refused to let me use the toilet on the grounds that it was "paying customers only" I tried to explain that I WAS a paying customer and she screamed over me, I tried to offer money just to use the toilet as my home is a good walk from there and she screamed over me, I apologized for upsetting her and turned to leave then as I was at the door she started shouting abuse at the back of my head, being in a bad mood and refusing to let a paying customer use the toilet is one thing but shouting abuse at someone who was already quietly leaving crosses a line. Completely unnecessary.

Not from Scotland and went in here in 2019 was only having drink and ended up having amazing home cooked meal on a Saturday night. Went 2022 and kitchen wasn't open. Went last week and had sensational Spicy Noodles on a Saturday after the Montrose FC game. So good went back Sunday and had exceptional Steak pie. Cooking is just brilliant and the staff are incredibly helpful. Best food in Montrose.

Stayed in Montrose for 2 days and wandered the length and breadth of the town and tried all the pubs. There seems to be a local law against clear windows in pubs so most bars are small, dark and faceless (what American's would call "dive bars"). Northern Vaults was by far the best pub in town on all counts. It was larger than most, with a more airy feel and light from the back garden. The staff were incredibly friendly, and there was good music playing and plenty of space to sit or stand at the bar.The fact they do home cooked food just seals the deal - the food was all freshly cooked and tasted fantastic, with a good selection of dishes. I'm only sorry I ate at the Picture House (Wetherspoons clone) for variety, as a second meal here would be great!

Had a meal before hand which was absolutely excellent, my husband is a big Indian fan and gordon the chef was extremely helpful and made an excellent mixed starter and a curry for him, which we pre ordered as it was a request. I myself had the chicken goujons which were also excellent. Can’t fault the service at all, fab night had by both of us! will definitely be back :)

I have never visited this pub before but was very pleasantly surprised. Was there for a party night for Christmas with 18 people. I could not fault the food at all. There were 3choices for each of the 3 courses and each was cooked beautifully. Usually for a party night, the quality of food is not good but this can't be said for this pub. Proper roast potatoes, delicious veg of parsnips and carrots, roast beef, turkey or salmon. My husband said he would drink the gravy it was so good. A live band played Sorella and they were excellent. The staff were friendly and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Would definitely go back for lunch.
