Vamos in Blaenau Gwent

DO NOT GO!!!!! Me and my boyfriend went there this evening for his birthday after booking a table. When we turned up all the doors were locked and no lights were on. I tried calling both numbers for the one line to go straight to user busy and the other to voicemail. I left a voicemail and sent a email but have not had any response. I am not sure if something has happened but online it now states “permanently closed” We were not made aware of this and drove half hour to the venue to be completely let down. Luckily we managed to get into a different restaurant but if we couldn’t then his birthday celebrations would have been ruined.

I put a glowing review when we are here the last time unfortunately this time it was a let down. The quality and size of the steak was poor it was full of gristle and a lot smaller. When asked was everything ok I responded with not really the steak is not very good. The answer was I'll tell the chef and that's as far as it goes but what is the point of coming to your table several times and asking is everything ok and when you say it isn't doing nothing about it. I don't know if they've changed steak suppliers if they have it was a bad decision.

Great food and staff everytime, had the steak offer alongside the buy one get one free drink offer! Lovely steak cooked perfectly.

About half of drinks/ food was actually available. Very loud music. Thus, the guests were shouting to make a conversation. Smelly men's toilet. The food was quite good, and the staff was trying.

I would like to give a really big thank you to our server tonight Bryce, she was absolutely amazing and sorted out a few problems that we had very very quick with no fuss. The staff tonight I had a very enormous task. I’m serving a large table of 30 and made aware that we may have had to wait a short while, communication phenomenal, Customer service was absolutely out of this world

A brilliant night out with top notch food and drink. Our server Bryce looked after us perfectly We had sirloin steak and chips which was first class and cooked to perfection.

10/ 10 for the food , service and how they treated us like royalty Thank you for a lovely evening 🥰 will definitely be booking again

not as good, as it once was, under the previous owner, had a Sunday lunch and didn't expect frozen vedge served with the main, could have done a toby for the same price.

Cant fault it.. Fabulous service above and beyond.. Food Amazing...staff couldnt do enough. Will reccomend highly and we will definetley be back.

Great place for single dining for a snack or couples. Or groups. I was craving a fish finger sandwich but as it was early evening was told this wasn't on the night menu. But the chef overheard and said it's no problem to make one. Which was amazing and something he didnt have to do .. as always it was amazing . Freshly made and presented beautifully. Thank you all again. I'll see you soon. X

We had an amazing meal, the food was excellent quality and cooked to perfection. The service from all the staff was exceptional, they were all very friendly and helpful. Even though there were 4 tables for our group and it was very busy, they provided top service and we all had a great night! Spot on!! Highly recommend! 👍🏻

The best breakfast we have had !. Amazing experience and brillaint food. Would definitely come again. Really happy with the breakfast.

Thank you so much for our fantastic afternoon. We celebrated a friends baby shower, we had a private function room which was perfect. Staff was so helpful and accommodating as well as beautiful food. This is our second time visiting and we will return.

Visited for Sunday Lunch. I can honestly say it was one of the nicest, tastiest Sunday lunches we’ve ever had. The beef melted in your mouth and everything was cooked perfectly. Definitely the best Sunday lunch we’ve had out in a very long time. Staff were lovely, can’t wait to visit again😊

Visited this evening for an evening meal, staff were all very friendly, happy and respectful. Food was beautiful and the decor inside is spot on. Big mention to the young lady Eve who served us with a smile and continued to check everything was to satisfactory! Will definitely visit again

Service was amazing, young lad was polite helpful and pleasant.... However good was not the same, food didn't come out together so some people are while others had to wait, side order didn't come out and hair in the food, they did change the food, which did come out with side order however main meal was cold and greasy, also mash looked as if it was from the night before...... Unfortunately the owner doesn't like criticism and get quite defensive.... Will never go there again...wasted so much of the food we didn't feel as if we had eaten......

I visit regularly with my friend for coffee and cake, we always thoroughly enjoy it, atmosphere is lovely, staff always friendly and nothing is to much trouble, decor is modern and absolutely beautiful, they also have a gorgeous function room to hire out, we have attended Christmas and Easter events here and thoroughly enjoyed them, overall we love this place and bonus as it's very near to us too, literally 5 minutes away.

Beautiful restaurant, beautiful food and fantastic service. VAMOS is an absolute gem. Lovely to have so local, we will be back thank you all for a great start to December with lunch with Santa.

Went here for breakfast and it was poor. Food mostly luke warm and the black pudding was over cooked and dry. Not sure what is going on with the men's toilets but they were filthy. Also the urinal is all rusted and there was pee on the floor in the cubicle. There are definitely better places to spend your money.

Went for early meal one friday with family had the fish and chips and honestly it was presented and tasted beautiful. Very nice, thank you.

What a little gem! Best bacon butty I’ve had….totally recommend this place. If you’re local, or even if you’re not…visit!!!!!!! Gorgeous place. Gorgeous food. First of many visits!

Amazing service and delicious food definitely recommended amazing for all occasions best place for food by far

A great restaurant that has a lovely atmosphere and great food! Have been going since they opened here and will continue to go with friends for coffee and cake (yummy) for lunch and dinner. Food is always very good and they will do their very best to cater for special dietary requirements. The staff are professional, friendly and helpful and the place is always clean and tidy, nicely decorated too! (If you go too often I won't be able to get a table)!!

Not the best no wine available in a restaurant never heard of that before .Starters were OK main meal was awful I had fish and chips which looked OK when it arrived but when I cut into it it was 90% batter and tasted horrible..my partner had the steak which so tough I could of fixed my shoes with it .Staff were good that's the only possitve I can give

Met up with ex work friends for a well deserved catch up. We were offered food if 2 different menus to accommodate our tastes. Food was excellent I personally had creamy garlic mushrooms followed by fish & chips finished off with profiteroles.

Food was lovely, service was spot, slight hiccup with service and the manager was on it and sorted. Would recommend and will be returning. Thanks

Fantastic outdoor space looking over the river, staff very friendly and knowledgeable, food was delicious and great value for money, excellent vibe

Such a lovely little hidden gem. Food was amazing, I opted for the 3 tapas and 2 cocktails for £20 and my partner the steak. Steak was beautifully cooked along with a homemade (huge) onion ring. My 3 tapas (small plates) were equally as ‘stunning’ I polished it all off and I don’t normally eat a lot, So I think that says it all. Relaxed atmosphere with a lady singer on the deck. Staff were very attentive would definitely recommend and come again, Thank you 👌🏼

This the second time to visit place because they say they do gluten free brwakfast which is wrong the first time the waiter came out to explain the pork and leek sausage wasnt gluten free, when I went there today I mention this with they are still on the menu the waiter went to check that the breakfast was gluten free, when my breakfast came out with hash brown which I started to eat I ask which I should have to keep checking that everything on my plate is safe, he there for went to check again and came back to say they wasnt sure, I complained and have my breakfast free which is beside the pont which I told them I just want to eat in a safe place and they should not be saying they do gluten free food and need training because I'm I have coeliac disease so bad.

Seeing all the great reviews & seeing photos they post online I thought this would be perfect for my boyfriend’s birthday meal. The service was great but the food wasn’t the best at all, disappointing because it’s such a lush place. Wasn’t too expensive. We ordered steak & chips and also rack of lamb with chips both was vile, my steak was watery and my partners lamb was gristly. Left after 20 minutes of being in there

Set menu for valentine's with not much choice but had good reviews overall so booked it £80 for 2 people 3 course meal The smallest portions Steak asked for medium well done and had a steak dripping blood I did tell the waitress but she just said oh sorry I did tell the chef. Staff were very welcoming so left them a tip but Dessert was also two mouthfuls and gone Extremely overpriced for food that was cooked rare not to preference and would not return or recommend unfortunately Update -forcdoing this review and putting 2 lines to say overpriced not great food on their FB business page that has no review tab I have had verbal abuse name-calling A fake version of what vamos says happened and going through my personal FB page to involve people I know Then blocked me from their FB so you can't see any bad reviews on their page This is the most unprofessional company I have ever dealt with

I was really impressed with everything about this place, from the decor and relaxed atmosphere to the great service from the staff and not least fantastic food! You couldn't ask for anything more! The staff made me feel so welcome and it's great value, especially for the quality of food and service you receive. I'll definitely be back again, not least for the amazing chocolate brownies I took home with me!

I don't normally leave a review unless it's exceptionally good or exceptionally bad. I am pleased to say there is absolutely nothing to complain about. service great and food fabulous! value for money was particularly amazing. having eaten in some foodie places more than twice the price. can't recommend this place enough

I don’t really leave reviews normally but on this occasion I had to! The food was delicious, whoever made those roast potatoes needs a medal. I’ve never had potatoes so fluffy! There was lots of meat and it was yummy too! Unfortunately I couldn’t finish...

Fabulous food and service. The portions were extremely generous and well priced. Flat iron steak and curry dishes were 10/10. We will certainly be returning to try more scrumptious, hearty food!

Called in for a coffee and a small plate. Food was excellent, i shall return for a full meal for sure

Vamos is always a friendly place to drop in for coffee with friends. The staff are friendly but professional and attentive, the food (cakes are lush!), and drinks are on point. Vamos is always clean, bright and with a warm atmosphere.

Firstly VAMOS had good availablity we were able to get a table for two after ringing in the morning. Arriving at VAMOS, there is no parking to speak of, patrons park on the pavement area directly outside or on the street outside. Inside is the...

First time visit for Sunday lunch. Lovely variety of vegetables cooked perfectly. Nice gravy and plenty of meat .Would definitely recommend

A moderately pleasant Sunday Roast which was over priced, poorly presented and served with attitude.

We recently booked here for a Saturday evening meal as a family of 4 and were looking forward to trying this fairly new establishment. Our overall feeling was that this is a place that tries to be too many things and in doing that fails...

After reading all the amazing reviews my mum and a group of friends were really looking forward to a visit for lunch on Saturday. Meals were very disappointing and over priced. Certainly not worth the trip from Pontypool.

Went for a Sunday lunch and first impressions were good. Nice simple menu with a choice of 4 starters and mains, all of which looked great. The service staff started out really strong getting us seated straight away, took our drinks orders and got us...

Visited for breakfast, 1st choice not available, had the minute steak and hash browns, expecting a thin steak. What came out was a thicker, rump steak. Would have ordered something different if I’d known. They also do a full breakfast, which has lots of items,...

What a wonderful afternoon at Vamos, for my daughters baby shower. The room is tastefully decorated, and staff take care to provide chairs with covers, plus table decorations. The food was superb. The grazing board was simply amazing, enough to feed an army! Such delicious...

Beautiful food, freshly cooked and very quick too. Amazing customer service, best I’ve ever had! Highly recommend this place, even better as it’s local and a great addition to abertillery.

On arrival we waited at the bar, it took us to excuse the bar tender to be acknowledged. Told that food was not being served until 5pm, had a drink whilst waiting for 15 minutes to order. 30 minutes plus after ordering I went to...

Some of the starters were unavailable so we opted for the chicken wings which were quite tasty but there wasn't enough of them.For our main course we both had the sirloin steak with chips,mushrooms,rocket and a garlic mushroom sauce unfortunately the steak was placed on...

After reading good reviews about this establishment my friend and I were eager to visit for a meal. We visited at lunch time and my friend opted for the home made pie with veg while I chose a Greek salad along with a bottle of...

Visited Vamos today for lunch and took my little dog with me. Stunning falafel salad, Sauvignon blanc, and some cooked chicken for Bella. Their iced coffee was just perfect. Can honestly say we will be back soon to try your evening menu. Didn’t have room...

Since Vamos opened I’ve dined here a few time, Sunday lunch, Saturday lunchtime, mid week brunch and also simply to have a vino and catch up with friends. I’ve loved it every time. Today’s lunch was no exception but wanted to publish a review as...

Randomly visited last weekend. A friend and myself decided to go out for a few drinks. We heard about Vamos by the River so decided to go down on the off chance we would be able to get a seat for some drinks. As soon...

So pleased that this is my new local and I’m absolutely not ashamed to say that I’ve been in every weekend since they opened up. Lovely decor, dog friendly, good selection of drinks and the only place in town you can get a decent cup...

Went in for lunch and a few drinks, what a pleasure! The food was amazing, good selection of drinks, the staff are really friendly and it's decorated really nicely. Brilliant!

Such a fabulous & very much welcomed establishment in Abertillery. Restaurant has been decorated in warm, welcoming colours and staff friendly and attentive. Menu options are plentiful and so are the portions served here. We opted to order two salads for lunch and they were...

Turned up at 12 o clock in desperate need for a full english (Welsh). Breakfast for 4 with 3 dogs. Could not have been more accommodating ! Delicious. Would thoroughly reccomend.

The service and food were excellent. Good variety and excellent standard of savouries , sandwiches and cake. Delivered to home as requested. Many compliments from all who attended. Would highly recommend a visit if your in the area or if you require catering for an...

Just the place for a warming lunch on a really cold, bright, Welsh day. Quick coffee service to warm us up. The steak sandwich was delicious, the posh fish finger sandwich likewise, and very filling. Both came with a side salad and crisps. Thank you...

What a great Sunday roast, fast service, gorgeous food (beef and chicken). The children’s lunch was just as great and the cakes were just yummy, but the best was yet to come! One person asked if they did a cheeseboard? Unfortunately not but then the...

We visited for Sunday lunch as I had read some great reviews. The roast beef was really delicious but the pork was very fatty. Really lovely vegetables but I’m not sure what happed to the roast potatoes, they were so hard they were almost inedible....

Enjoyed excellent service, lovely menu and great atmosphere. Nice place to meet up and enjoy a birthday celebration.

We booked in for supper at their late night opening, and we weren’t disappointed, we were a table of 9, ages from from 2 to 91, and there was a good choice for everyone, friendly staff, good service, it was so nice we went back...

Popped in for a breakfast on one of their Wednesday Specials where you get a breakfast and coffee for just £5.00; absolutely delicious. The food was a perfect severing, very fast, and friendly service. Great Value for money too! Would 100% recommend popping down to...

Had a lovely lunch today at Vamos. Delicious Chicken Caesar Salad and a ploughman’s sandwich. All freshly made, chicken was lovely and juicy and plenty of. Excellent customer service by staff and the lovely owner Helen. Highly recommend if your visiting Crickhowell.

Lovely brunch In a beautiful courtyard - 4 mins walk off the high street With friendly and charming service Well worth looking for

Just lovely. Fabulous food served by really friendly staff in a fab environment. In a court yard with other interesting things around. One of the nicest places in crickhowell to eat I think

We visited here last week for coffee and cake, everyone was so helpful and the food great. We returned on the Thursday evening which was there first opening in the evening, well it was so lovely, food, entertainment and a lovely host, Helen the owner....

We had an excellent lunch here yesterday. The sandwiches were very well filled, we had the BLT. As for the cake selection, wow, amazing choice and fantastic taste. Vamos far outshone other places we had eaten in Crickhowell. A great little find and a place...

An amazing breakfast, served with fresh local produce. A beautiful setting with a great atmosphere and even better staff! Easily the best Crickhowell has to offer. I had the full Welsh breakfast and I was absolutely stunning, followed by a flat white, which was one...

Have to say this place consistently delivers on quality and service. If there’s a better Sunday lunch anywhere then it must be exemplary because today’s was absolutely delicious. Great venue and service brilliant. We are lucky to have this place in Crickhowell !

We booked tea for two. Assumed a couple of sandwiches and a piece of cake each. Wrong! Beautiful assorted sandwiches, beautiful assorted cakes, scones with cream and jam. Fortunately they had a 'doggy bag' in the shape of lidded box which we used to take...

A lovely little place in the heart of Crickhowell, yet award from the hustle and bustle bustle. You have the choice of a really pretty courtyard or cosy indoor area to sit in. The food is very tasty - I’ve had the goat’s cheese, beetroot...

We came across Vamos by chance when the centre of Crickhowell was just so crowded with traffic we wanted a bit of calm - and we really won the jackpot with finding Vamos. We were only intending to have a drink but it is such...

Had an absolutely delicious vegan breakfast here whilst out for a bike ride staff are super friendly and the surroundings are beautiful 😍

As a local we are blessed with several great eateries here in Crickhowell. I've enjoyed them all at some time or other over the past 36 years. At the moment though Vamos stands out as being top of a very good selection. A lovely atmosphere...

We visited this amazing cafe for lunch today. The menu was varied and the food absolutely delicious. Service was incredibly welcoming and friendly.

Have discovered this gem of a local "eaterie" it's not a cafe and not a restaurant but a local place to enjoy good food, good service and a great atmosphere. Recommend a welsh breakfast on a Wednesday and the steak or fish sandwich every other...

Gorgeous roast dinner Staff very friendly and helpful Excellent service Lovely surroundings A really nice Sunday afternoon out

Since we first visited Vamos, hidden away from the bustle of Crickhowell high street, we’ve been hooked. The perfect spot for a brunch party, refuel stop off on a bicycle/run/walk or just to grab a coffee. We can’t help but keep going back! All the...

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! Attention To Detail-AMAZING!! People-Ardderchog!! Food-Irresistably delicious!!
