The Old Vaults in Shropshire

Really different, arranged like a medieval dungeon in places which adds to the atmosphere. Karaoke was fun with many songs to choose from.

Amazing pub great music busy on Saturdays quiet on fridays

Best pub in Oswestry and very good staff.

Oswestry’s premier post 2300 drinking venue. I’d describe my experience as akin to that of what I assume going drinking in Kabul at the moment is like “terrifying with dangers lurking around every corner” Pros - It has a roof and wasn’t on fire Cons - The list would be too long to begin to try and type out

Gets way to packed at weekends and not enough security wich is a shame as its a nice place needs adressing asap

It was Sunday evening so was quiet but had a lovely drink and barmaid was lovely

Great value lunch specials. Good decor and friendly staff.

Enjoyed lunch here today,well worth a visit 😉

Excellent venue for music events & friendly staff.

Awesome night with good people.. And absolute future legends spinning the discs..

The Vaults has almost become our local to go to for a drink before we head back home. The food menu is good and so is the selection of drinks and wines. The Offa's Dyke (Welsh: Clawdd Offa ) local brewed ale is really good especially the "Grim Reaper" porter which is my favourite!! Lovely inside and out with a big beer garden at the back.... A portion of chips to share along with a glass of wine and a pint of real ale just seem to be a perfect start to our weekend......

Very nice meals, have used this place before

Good reasonably priced foods, clean establishment coureous staff. Would visit sgain, even iff just to try a different meal.

Played a gig here. Great venue with very helpful staff.

Fantastic value meal deal 11 to 3pm. Eg gammon with egg pineapple n chips, or fish n chips etc. with coffee for £4.99. It was very good too.

This pub is not closed! Had a wonderful meal. Drink plus food £4.99. Had gammon with egg and pineapple which was very good indeed.

Nice. Great sunny beer garden. Good bar staff.

This this unacceptable! Bouncers kissing 18 year olds???? What is this????? Will not be going here again after seeing this!!!! Disgraceful

Good atmosphere really nice friendly place

OK pub, every time I visit there's the same woman getting drinks off different fellas, unsure if she's employed by them but seems to be, makes me feel a bit sad for the men she's playing with. Her kids regularly come in to see her but she soon gets rid of them, kids can be so annoying when mummy is trying to get hammered at mens expense.

we went here yesterday for my birthday. lovely food. I had liver and onion mash and peas. my partner had the brunch.very cheap and you leave very full.would definitely recommend

A good pint of Stowford Press, clean, attentive and professional staff. I was passing through, not a local. Well done =)

Nice clean pub, does good lunchtime food

Friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere and good selection of drinks,

This is a brilliant gallery, so much to see in each picture and superb wordplay, one of my favourites is "zebra crossing"

Excellent. Warm atmosphere, awesome staff. Meals are fabulous.

Despite TripAdvisor thinking this pub is closed it isn't but is under new management. Service a little slow but when that food arrived it was well worth the wait with generous portions of nicely cook3d food and very reasonable prices

An interesting pub in the heart of Birmingham with a selection of ales but does have a tired interior.

Lovely fish and chips, friendly staff

Okay for a quick pint. Set up to enable crowds on a Friday Saturday night. Not many tables to sit at.

£2 a pint for a Offa's Dyke Brewery Thirst Brew tempted me in on a Sunday afternoon. It's a lovely real ale brewed in Trefonen Oswestry which is nearby. I also had a taste of Barley gold which is a more to my taste, but both are great.

Food was good .nice place .frendly staff. REAL CHIPS LUSH

Nice pub, cheap and with a lovely big beer garden (although the garden could do with a clean)

Rude under staffed quite cheap. Won't be going again

I have been to the vaults several times for food and drinks or both and have never been disappointed. Portions are generous and the home cooked chips are pure heaven! Would certainly recommend visiting here if you haven't already.

Aunque no impresionante desde el exterior o al entrar, hay un comedor en la parte trasera. La decoración parecía un poco cansado, especialmente en la de loos, pero el personal era amable. La cerveza local es buena y a un precio razonable. El almuerzo era ordenados y no tardan en porciones generosas. Fue buena" y "comida de pub muy buena relación calidad-precio.

He puesto este comentario durante meses, esperando que me gustaría volver a la calidad sería volver, pero no. Combinación de ingredientes de calidad más pobres (desde el pan a la carne) y la pérdida de un chef muy bueno (porqué nos abandone, señora con gafas? La comida) hacen que la calidad es media gama de buena calidad weatherpoons, no pub. . .

Called in one afternoon for some lunch as we had a couple of hours to spare... Couldn't fault it! Less than £20 for 2 pints of lager and 2 main meals! So cheap!

I was visiting my mother and decided to take a look around town, at lunchtime I didn’t know where to go but had seen a weatherspoons (you know what you are getting) but I noticed a sign outside the vaults saying home made food and thought I would try it, what a great decision!! Not great first impression walking through the bar but the lounge area was lovely and the lady behind the bar was very friendly, ordered the food and out came the most delicious home made food, my only complaint is that I ordered too much and I only have myself to blame ha ha. I made a point of thanking the chef. Will definitely be back. Well worth a visit.

GOT BARRED FOR SAYING THE ALE WAS OFF

Excellent atmosphere and lovely staff.

Great pub with great beer. Friendly staff. Always welcoming, a great place to meet after work for a pint!

My daughter and I called in on the off chance and what a great find! We had an excellent meal and received a very friendly welcome would definitely go back.

This pub has an excellent atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff, good home made food and good prices what more could you ask for.

Las antiguas bóvedas es esencialmente un pequeño pub, pero va grande de varias maneras. En el bar trasero que se hace para llevar. Muy, muy bien. Y muy, muy barato. ¿Qué más puedes pagar por una comida decente, tanto en términos de calidad y cantidad? 10 libras quizás? Pues esto va un regalo para alrededor de una fiver.

I regulary go to the Vaults for lunch .It always tasty and washed down with a pint of locally brewed beer. the staff are always pleasant and helpful .

The Old Vaults looks and feels like a proper market town pub, and it feels light years away from the chain coffee places and burger joints all over the place. We called in for a light lunch and chose from a wide ranging menu - Iand had a perfectly cooked mushroom omelette with proper home made chips, and my wife had tuna and cheese wraps with a few chips and great, peppery, fresh, crunchy homemade coleslaw, accompanied by two half pints from the local Offa's Dyke brewery. No piped background music, just the racing running quietly on a TV in the corner and chat from friendly local regulars. Quick friendly service and the bill came to under £10. A gem!

Booked a table for two for the day before Christmas Eve. Enjoyed home made turkey dinner and stuffing with roast potatoes, creamy mashed potatoes, carrots, sprouts and red cabbage. This was followed by chocolate fudge cake me wife wife and Christmas pudding for me. Finally a mince pie and coffee. All washed down with a rum and coke and a large glass of white wine for my wife and 1 pint of Offa's Dyke bitter, 2 large glasses of red wine and a brandy for me. All this came to a very reasonable £44.15. Where else could you get such a Christmas dinner for just over £20.00? Shame that the Old Vaults cannot be scored 7 STARS for value.

Easy to access in the centre of town, can sit outside or inside depending on the weather. Staff super friendly and helpful, food very good and reasonably priced. Clean and tidy all through.

Called in here as a family of 4 with another family of 4 - not always easy to find somewhere to find somewhere to seat us all and more than that something to suit everyone on the menu. There was ample seating in the garden at the back with a large grass area for the children to run around. Menu was very good and could have chosen several things - the price was great. Children could eat for £3.95 but the plate was full and the homemade chips very tasty!! The service was great and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely call there again and would recommend for a good meal at a good price.

Fantastic home cooked food and for the price you pay, it's too good to be true!Big V Burger and a pint of Barley Gold, sorted.

This pub is always on my list when I return to the area. Tuesday's open mic night is always good fun and a great crowd. Fridays and Saturdays is a great warm up place, but can get very busy. Often gigs outside in the summer which is great if the weather is up to scratch. Great place for a pub lunch too. Never disappointed with this place.

My friends and I often call I before and after going out for a meal. now we know they do good food, we shall endeavour to eat here. Great drinks, great staff. Cheers

Fed up of going to weatherspoons in Oswestry we decided to pop in here. Good value for money - drinks and food. Lovely, friendly staff and a great little pub - will definitely go here again :)

Excellent food (pretty sure the chef from the Bullring ended up here), wonderful service and if you can get a table it is beyond worth it! plus, they serve food til 3 so if you miss the Oswestry lunch hour you have a hail mary here!They also have wifi! So when costa is too crowded, there is an alternative! Huzzah!Music on a tv played not too loud, mostly eighties and nineties cheesy pop which is of course glorious!

Been to The Vaults on the last three occasions we've been in the area; we used to always go to The Fox Inn, but this is now for sale and doesn't offer food, so we tried The Vaults. The Vaults doesn't look much from the outside but please do go in......walk through to the rear bar and you will find it is very comfortably furnished and homely. I always have the all day breaklfast which is terrific value for money (last time it was only £4.95) and freshly cooked with fresh produce (lovely sausages and black pudding !). The staff are really quick and friendly and wiling to advise as to the choice of real ales et.c. As it's my son's school's half-term this week (Feb 2015) we'll be in Oswestry again on 19 Feb. and will defibnitely be3in The Vauklts at lunch-time. Can't wait !

Looks a bitty scruffy on the outside but it is a proper town pub, as you work your way to the back the place moves from proper pub, to pub with food, then to nice comfy tub chairs, and then it opens through to a really big beer garden. It sell standard pub food, but Offa's Dyke Beer (local and very tasty), as well as a range of standard beers and cocktails. Great staff, always helpful and happy to banter

Went into this pub with my friend as she had been told that it was nice :),we were not disappointed I had southern fried chicken wrap with sweet chilli sauce,salad,coleslaw and real chips,it was really nice and prepared lovely,would recommend to anyone

Lovely pub with a warm, friendly welcome. The pinot grigio is ice cold and the chips are to die for! Perfect for a Summer's day in the beer garden. Love this pub!

Went for lunch Saturday, I had the steak my partner had the Big V Burger. Massive portions and all home made. Best pub lunch i have had out for ages! Prices are very reasonable and I will be visiting again.
