The Vault Kitchen in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

We have a B&B in Penzance and have been frustrated by the lack of great places to eat between 2.30pm & 6pm. We need to eat at these times but more importantly our guests do! Delighted to rock up to the Vault Kitchen at 3pm with our dog Elvis today to be met by Lee & Mallery. So impressed with the service and food, happy to wait for obviously fresh cooked food. So impressed with Lee who not only offered great service but also handled a very uncomfortable situation without fuss, Providing ice cream for Elvis despite not having desserts on the menu. We will be back for all the events that Lee marketed. Final note.... Lee questioned our tip as thought we had made a mistake. Lee! You are worth every penny and more x

Found this place by accident and can honestly say it was the best food we had during our stay in Cornwall. Fantastic service and delicious meals! Thanks team! If you’re in the area we’d definitely say this place should be in your list for a visit!

I'll be honest, we didn't get to try the food. It had been a very busy day in Penzance and the Vault were sold out of the menu items we most fancied (big carby dinners after a climbing trip). However, the chap running the place, rather than just apologising or trying to sell us something else, gave us a comprehensive set of alternatives to his venue which would suit our needs. Top class customer service. Thanks. Next time we need a more relaxed and refined evening, we'll try your menu and coffee.

Popped in on a whim on a Sunday afternoon. The bar was wonderfully well presented, the beer and the coffee were both fantastic, the food's definitely it's equal too. The 2 staff were both about as welcoming and friendly as you could ever hope for, so much so I feel the name to say thank you to both Iesha and Lee by name here. They made a great afternoon even better!

Made this our local during a few days in Penzance. Love the beer garden/sun deck Great choice of food and drinks Live entertainment Friendly staff that know their booze! Great tips for some lovely gins. Chilled out environment

THE chessey chips is definitely delicious to eat and the diet is so tasty to drink the staff are friendly and helpful and polite and outstanding and the food is outstanding aswell

I decided to visit THE VAULT as I needed to kill 2 hours before I went to the cinema. As I walked in I was kindly great by a gentleman called Nathan. I asked if they were serving food and he said yes. I sat down and got my drink and food order in. I went with the fish and chips which set me back a very decent price of £7.50. The food came out very quickly to my surprise. It was THE BEST fish and chips I have had in a very long time. The staff was very welcoming and very polite. I would definitely recommend THE VAULT if you want food. Well done keep up the good work

Brilliant place with brilliant friendly staff and the most amazing sun trap terrace in all of Penzance - highly recommend.

Stylish interior, and a cool hipster vibe. Drinks are very expensive. Poor place for live entertainment; acts face the door, and most of the audience has to be sideways and distanced from the act, down towards the back of the long and narrow interior. Most disappointment comes from purchase of a ‘pint’ of beer (of which there aren't many - understandably, given the cocktail orientation). Staff consistently serve far short of pint. The size of the shortfalls are breathtaking, not the least because of how costly the beer is. Seemingly all staff do this, and shamelessly (there’s no visible awkwardness from staff when you’re handed your three-quarters - if you’re lucky - of a pint). It is as if serving ‘partial pints’ is company policy.

We visited on Saturday 16th April with family whilst on our little break in Cornwall. Very clean welcoming restaurant, lovely food and waitress was very friendly, Professional and nothing was a problem. Well done all xxx

At the beginning of Chappel street so ideal for a coffee whilst making your way from the shops to the harbour and sea front

Amazing cocktails and 5* service from Ruth and Tristan . Ruth recommended several cocktails and they were amazing so much, that we came back and tried several more! Banter between The north and South kept us laughing 😂

We just popped in this afternoon for a quick drink. My husband just wanted a coffee and they kindly made me a mock tail.it was delicious! The staff were friendly and enthusiastic and the venue is light and airy.

If you're over 25 don't bother, they don't want to know really annoyed with the treatment of us so very dismissive

Enjoyed great friendly service & wonderful live music along with sampling cocktails. Good atmosphere. Almost felt normal.

Our first trip into a restaurant since March. Lovely atmosphere. Food out of this world. Very accommodating to vegan and veggie people. Looking forward to my next visit already!

The menu's are a bit confusing, we are both vegan and gluten free so always on the look out for places that cater for us. The Vault Kitchen has 2 separate menu's one Gluten free and the other Vegan but they don't cross reference one...

The tapas was fantastic and the cocktails were tasty. Very friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Sat outside for a drink, after looking at the food menu decided to order. Drinks were very good and a good selection and all of the food was delicious, even the garnishes were very tasty. Will definitely be returning.

Whilst their normal home in Mousehole recovers from a major fire, the team from the Old Coastguard have set shop here. If you are in Penzance I’d go before it moves back. The food is tapas style small plates - the scallops and hogs pudding,...

We went on a quiet Sunday in February and were really impressed with the quality of food and service. Considering it’s a pop up, the restaurant decor is well finished and has no sense of being temporary. We had 4 of their small dishes -...

Went with a group of friends, was made to feel very welcome by the excellent staff, good selection of Tapas, lots of seafood selection. Good range of craft beers and unusual wines. Recommended

We dropped in for an evening meal midweek in January- the Vault was recommended to us by another local restaurant! We enjoyed the salt fish croquettes, white bait, squid, olives, padron peppers, bread, mushrooms on bruschetta- all so tasty! My lavender lemonade was yummy... My...

My friend and I have been a couple of times and really enjoyed the tapas style menu. Today we enjoyed spicy squid (quite tender, but very small platter at £7), mushrooms on toast, Brie croquettes and some excellent fat chips. 1 herbal tea 2 sparkling...

I wish this Pop Up restaurant could remain after January, it is such a great addition to Penzance town! Excellent food, perfect service, I can't fault it...😎 😎 😎

s it a restaurant? Is it a pub? Is it a cocktail bar? If anything, it's all three! and a very stylish fusion at that! On a Saturday night you can expect to see all sorts having the best of times - from party people...

A lunch of simply delicious and very imaginative stater plates worthy of a Michelin Star! Excellent house Chardonney to accompany them. Sadly the Vault is only a 'pop up' while the Coastguard in Mousehole is being restored following a fire. It will only be open...

This fantastic new Cafe Bar has transformed/enhanced our lives ! Fantastically delicious and unusual cocktails shaken lovingly! Harrison! And a great wine selection! Extraordinarily inspired and fabulously well executed taster dishes - ever-changing, ever-surprising me! Jamie! Thanks to ALL the lovely happy Team @ The...

I expected better from this excellent team from eat, drink,sleep who run the closed-for-renovation Coastguard in Mousehole. Service and attitude was faultless - kind, knowledgable and attentive. It was the menu which disappointed. Seven of us for lunch so a variety of plates were ordered....

Just had breakfast at this pop-up, it was spot on 😎 excellent service, lovely food, stylish space....thoroughly recommended 😀 it's just what Penzance needs...👍

Great atmosphere, really lovely food and nice drinks choice! We sat at the window bar and really liked it.

This is a review of the October 2019 Vault restaurant operated as a 'pop up' by the staff of The Old Coastguard Hotel in Mousehole whilst it's fire damage from the summer is being repaired. Anyone who had the good fortune to dine in the...

Already popular with locals, this is the new pop up for The Old Coastguard (closed for the moment following a fire) and the team of chef, bar staff and waiters are experienced. We couldn't book (only 2 of us) but if you have a largish...

Very enjoyable lunch with 9 friends. Service and food were excellent especially my crab sandwich. Lovely setting and very friendly owners
