Wine Vaults in Waveney

Nice place friendly good food good service. Music a little to loud. Small 4 inch step into the premises, so wheelchair can get in but will be a little struggle.

Lovely evening at the Wine Vaults, haven't been for a long while and was really pleased we did. Great food, everyone had something different and all really enjoyed. Friendly and welcoming owners, who delivered a really good service without rushing us. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Will definitely be back.

I annoyed that I'm givng one star as it doesn't deserve any !!! Appalling service, rude and the ',owner' is stupid beyond words, made me feel ashamed of the extreme allergy I have....no apologies from her. I will take this further, as it upset me so much. No class.....don't waste your time and money..

Booked in the quiet January... Nice pub. Just to chill midweek. Food was excellent. Reasonably priced. Would highly recommend. When the county starts opening up again when spring breaks into life. A wee gem... Try it out. Close to the lovely town. Shops Etc.. Friendly staff. Good beers 🍻 You won't be disappointed.

Lovely meal this evening, cooked to perfection! Generous portions, excellent customer service, good atmosphere, lovely venue. Lots of choices on the menu and very good value for money. Will definitely be back again and highly recommend it!!

Friendly atmosphere, really good food, such a welcome 🙏 well done 👏

Nice relaxed atmosphere, not rushed which was nice.

3rd Dec 2023 . Some reviews nearly put me off going . But like to give all places a chance. And so glad we did . Party of 6 . Lamb brisket duck Turkey all meals so good meals all nice and hot . Nibbles to start with olives pork scratching mixed nuts bread with vinaigrette. Sweets lemon cheese cake the girls loved them . Lads had Irish coffee went down a treat 😋. Well done to all staff and especially the chef 👩‍🍳 thanks for a lovely 😍 meal

The food is lush and really beautifully presented.

The Chef that used to work and serve amazing food has definitely moved on. Not as good as it used to be.

No complaints about the food or the hardworking staff. Just devoid of atmosphere and ambience. A bit of background music would go a long way.

We randomly stumbled across this place on holiday, whilst wet, hungry and with a young child and large dog in tow. Thankfully we were welcomed in with open arms. Lunch time food and hospitality were both amazing and they even went the extra mile with a special food request for our daughter and biscuits and water for the dog. Highly recommended.

Amazing food but very large portions, sounds strange but cut portion sizes in half and would be amazing, staff was amazing

Great bar/restaurant - good beer, fantastic service, and one of the best ‘in restaurant’ fish & chips I’ve ever had.

Prices reasonable,staff very friendly and helpful,food was piping hot and plenty of it.situated in the middle of Beccles no parking spaces but plenty of places in the vicinity First time here but definitely would go back.

The food was good but nothing special. Not great value, overpriced for what you get but worth a visit

Delicious food 😋 Two of us had the lamb, and two had steaks. All were really tasty and cooked to perfection. Desserts were really good, the Eaton mess was so big that the table next to us had one between four!! Would recommend everyone to try this restaurant if in the area. We went on a Monday evening and all tables were taken so it's clearly popular!

A lovely lunch and lovely staff and service. Thank you.

The food was great and I had a great dining experience last night. That said, towards the end of my meal I witnessed a man walk in from the street, put his bare hands into the ice bucket used for making drinks, rub ice over various parts of his sweaty body to cool himself, and then throw the remaining bits of ice in his hands back into the bucket. I told our waitress what had happened and they didn’t change the ice and continued making drinks from it for the other guests in the establishment. I’m not sure why they didn’t see this as gross and warranting a batch of new/clean ice, but I certainly didn’t proceed with ordering cocktails after this. I prefer cocktails not made with someone’s bath water.

The best pub in Beccles, staff friendly, food and drink great and the place it's self is excellent. Popped in for a snack, had a lovely sandwich and coffee, booked a table for that night while there. Excellent food and service, staff very friendly. Second time this year we've visited Beccles and went here both times.

Lovely sunday lunch staff really friendly nuce atmosphere

Nice place everyone's food was lovely except for fish, pie 80% prawns very little fish me and a friend agreed on that

Always love coming here, friendly staff and lovely food!

Enjoyed a delicious Sunday roast with a large amount of beef

Lovely place ..staff are welcoming and friendly, food is very tasty

Great food, atmosphere and service.

Nice place, good service but the food wasn't great. My steak burger was very overcooked/dry and my wife's beef Wellington was so rare we thought it might still be alive, Chef might of been having a bad night. Will give it another try.

Having been recommended thought we would give it a try. Unfortunately my husband had to send both the mains he attempted to have back so ended up leaving without having eaten a meal. I had sea bass which was ok but not the best.

Love the Wine Vaults, good place to meet, drink, eat and relax

Great Sunday lunch well presented and not that pricy either we will defo go again

Loved it really glad I spent a few hours in here with two of the best friendliest staff in Beccles - Jodie and Jenna of course ! Lovely pub decent beer (real ales and keg), historic building do visit the vaults underneath (hence the name ...) at time of writing the wine vaults underneath just being refurbished and expect they will be very impressive when completed. Thanks to all for making my day out in Beccles super x

Have visited this restaurant numerous times and the food and service is always brilliant , the young girl who served us was amazing from seating us to the end of the evening would deffinetly visit again. 😀

Fantastic afternoon out great food and lovely staff. Thanks 😊

Great afternoon spent drinking with good friends in a relaxed atmosphere.

Excellent place to eat and drink with a good atmosphere.

Amazing food and service, will be returning soon.

Staff were good, and friendly. Didn't eat, so can't comment on the food and, it's was a Monday night with only me, my friend and one other customer, so atmosphere is difficult to comment on too. Although, given the number of people (more staff than customers), it was nice enough, and I'm sure I'll be back.

The food is absolutely amazing!! I had the beef wellington and it was the best meal I've ever tasted! Staff very friendly and helpful. Thoroughly recommended.

The staff and food are amazing, I absolutely love them.

A great find! Never been there before but so glad we went. The food was excellent quality and reasonably priced. The staff were very friendly and efficient. I don't often give 5 stars but they are well merited here. We will return!

The most amazing food, been before and was very good. Overheard they have a new chef and the food is now even more amazing !!!

Huge area for dining underneath, food was nice, friendly service.

Loved it. Good venue, food and staff

Great dining experience. Food was excellent, good service. Would quite like to return there sometime.

We loved this place made you feel welcome and our 2 dogs

Review date: 16th September 2022 Restaurant: The Wine Vault. We planned a restaurant visit with a recommendation from three long term friends. As our friends suggested this restaurant, The Wine Vault, we thought we would give it a visit. They booked a table for five at the restaurant; we were not disappointed. The Wine Vault had a certain charm and a delightful ambiance. The food was excellent and the young lady, Holly, gave us friendly and fantastic service. The selection of dishes on offer was great, I had a tasty sea bass dish. My wife had a fabulous beef wellington, all thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Overall a fabulous visit and I feel sure that we will return again. Thank you Holly and the team you not only made us welcome but gave us an evening to remember, thank you. X💜

Good food presented well with happy welcoming staff NB a smile is always worth at least one star there are hundreds of places that do a decent nosh not all make you feel are ease

Took my parents here for a birthday meal and was very impressed. The staff were very friendly and attentive but not in your face all the time. The food itself was outstanding, my belly of pork was melt in the mouth delicious and everything served was excellent. I will certainly be returning and recommend this venue to everyone.

We popped in to the Vailts, it was Friday’s evening and we didn’t book a table. The restaurant was full that made us to wait about half an hour for the table. I assume the place is very popular. It was packed with companies. We had backed goat cheese with onion chutney that we quickly shared for 3. For mains we ordered the burger, small Beef Wellington and 8oz steak. And polished with a Lotus cheese cake with vanilla ice cream. We didn’t order wine, just 2 ales. For 3 of us it was about 75£ that is a bit expensive. But the quality of the food and service is very good. I think it’s a nice place to meet with friends, any kind of celebrations.

Lovely place with superb food and lovely staff that can't do enough for you, highly recommended.

Last minute booking and were able to find table for us. Excellent food, lovely atmosphere. Staff very friendly but waitress so rushed git part if our order wrong. Think need more waiting staff when busy. We live in town,first time we have had evening meal here. Definitely would come again.

Had a good night at Jane's party catching up with old friends

Mum and I had lovely time in beccles, popped in for coffee with I had oat milk, staff very friendly,

Absolutely fantastic food and service. Will certainly return here 👍

We had fond memories of this restaurant from 4 years ago and as we were visiting we booked a table in the vault underground. Everything about this place is spot on, it’s clearly a hub for the community and visitors alike, really friendly staff and Jodie was was very welcoming offering a fantastic service from greeting to leaving. A true professional. Light music, candles and the food was the next level. We will be back again with the children and for something a bit special this is the place. Highly recommended. Darren & Catherine

Service was good, average food.

Fabulous food and the most friendly staff. A lovely evening out

Just excellent food start to finish. Lovely atmosphere and staff

Delicious meal with a friendly and helpful waitress. Being gluten free and not able to eat garlic, the waitress told the chef what I'd like off the menu and he adapted it. What more can I say! Thank you.

Had a lovely 3 course meal. Duck for starters, Beef Wellington for main and Raspberry &white chocolate cheesecake for dessert. All were absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly and great service provided.

Had a great evening and lovely food here last night. Friendly and welcoming staff. Thank you, and see you again 🤩😊😋

Lovely bar and restaurant. Went for a meal with friends. Food was good, friendly staff.

Great place for a drink and they also have a great function room in the basement. I have had many great nights there. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 They are doing Chicken Kyev 🐓 with £5 going to The Ukraine Fund. They also have a special board which changes daily. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

We ate here midweek and the service and food were amazing. We had the beef Wellington and ostrich steak, everything was fantastic. We had the fortune of Holly for our waitress, no only did she have a great sense of humour she even took the time to show my husband and I around the rest of the restaurant especially down to the vaults part of the restaurant. Would highly

My two adult sons and me were extremely hungry after a full day visit to RSPB Winsmere on 6thFeb 2022 and looked for a nice pub meal on the way out..Thanks God they were all either closed for food service or very busy..Then When we were about to drop off my eldest son to his home in Beccles, we realized this restaurant was open.Absolutely Brilliant Experience all over.İ am a tour guide traveling all around the world and leading groups to different restaurants for over 30 years but I was never impressed by a restaurant in this scale..How yummy and nicely presented food was..But most importantly two kindest human beings served food,hosted us,made sure we were well looked after with greatest attention when we needed . Honestly most genuine smile ever..Thanks a million...I wish We have asked the names of both waitresses....I had salmon and Prawn with Thai jasmine rice.Younger son had the burger.Elder son had fish meal as mains.Portions are large,food is yummy ,service is top notch..I definitely will come back 🙏🙏🙏

Three of us ate here in December. We had olives to start and Ostrich main course. The food was good although I wouldn’t have Ostrich again as it was a bit chewy. All nicely presented and a good wine list. It was £80+ for three to eat with no starter or pudding but a bottle of wine (£23) and a sharing cheese platter which I felt was a bit pricey and would probably mean I wouldn’t rush back other than for a light snack. Very nice place overall.

Lovely meal, piping hot! Staff friendly/helpful...desserts expensive and very small for price which is a shame as quality was very good.

Very nice place to dine out and an outstanding food

Visited by chance for Sunday Lunch. Staff couldn't have been more helpful. Food absolutely first class. Would recommend 100%!!!

Good food, excellent service, very impressed 👍

Fantastic dinner last night. Staff and service really good. Great choice on menu and specials board too. Would definitely recommend this place.

Nice little restaurant and very friendly service.

Yes. It was ok. Staff very friendly and efficient. Food a littke over priced, but a nice evening.

The best place in Beccles for a Sunday roast, with great staff and great service. Superb Yorkies!

Great service and excellent food, we had a very good and relaxing evening. Thank you to all the staff

A great place with an incredibly friendly welcome and very personable staff. The atmosphere is chic and warm, the building a network of little rooms and flights of stairs (the toilets are up stairs and a little inaccessible for people with mobility issues). The menu is wide ranging and very reasonably priced and tastes amazing. The place was very well used by locals even on a Tuesday night, which in itself is a good review. We booked ahead and this was a good idea. Thoroughly to be recommended.

Great food with a good selection. Friendly and attentive staff. Moderate prices

Always a great welcome from Dave who runs the bar. All staff are friendly as are the pub regulars. My first visit for 18 months due to pandemic restrictions

Nice staff. Food was ok. Highlights were the delicious onion rings. Wings, would give those a miss.

Very good service, atmosphere and food.

Would thoroughly recommend a visit. Excellent food at really reasonable prices that was only bettered by the service. Our table ordered from across the menu and the quality of the food was consistently fabulous. I would advise that you book in advance (we booked a couple if days ahead) as plenty of people were being turned away.

Such lovely staff and amazing food! Great wine and fab time! X

We had a wonderful lunch here, good service, nice ambience, well cooked and presented food, very good value for your money. Our new go to place in Beccles.

Great welcome and fantastic food , great evening

Brilliant meal brilliant service brilliant all round dining experience 👍

Visited here for an evening meal with family. The venue was quite a surprise to us as it really is down under the street, quite unique 😊 We and the wait staff were all covid safe. Service was good and prompt, food was excellent. We shared the brie starter and then had cajan salmon and fish pie (which was huge) so no dessert, although the summer pudding looked very tempting. Highly recommended 👍

Very good service, brilliant food ,it made out wedding anniversary

Booked the wine vaults for dinner whilst on a break away, can honestly say it was absolutely delicious, fresh food and great service provided. We loved it that much went again for our 2nd night away. I would definitely recommend this place to eat and have a few drinks.

All their food is out of stock. Flies all over the show and dirty tables. Cold food. Small portions for the price.

We were on a 150 mile long journey to the Norfolk coast and the satnv told us we needed a break and flipping through on incar options we picked the Wine Vaults in Blyburgate. A very hot day and we needed a drink and something to eat. Jodie and Rachel couldn't have done more to make us welcome - showed us a nice table, we had a couple of excellent starters and glasses of cold sauv blanc. If we had more time would would have dived further into their menu which looked enticing - we will remember this spot on our next visit to The Broads.

Excellent food and friendly service. I had the crispy chilli beef from the specials board and it was delicious, my husband had the salmon which he said was also delicious. The wine was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful giving us some local knowledge on nearby beaches. Would definitely recommend and hope to return.

Brilliant! Night out with family on our holiday. Will be back next year hopefully.

Excellent food, staff very helpful. Highly recommended

Booked by email and was confirmed quickly. Had a very good seating area upstairs and a very pleasant waitress. Checked all was ok for one guest who had a peanut allergy and they were well used to dealing with such requests... also saw other guests who were gluten free. Food very good and great value for money. Would recommend anyone to dine there.

Very friendly & attentive staff serving good food.

Having spent our honeymoon in the area we opted to eat here one night and we were not disappointed. Food came hot and fresh, the ambience was spot on and the staff were lovely whom we had contact with. Would return in a heartbeat and preffered this restaurant to the nearby 'Graze at White Horse'

Fantastic venue, service and food. Generous helpings and food cooked exactly to requirements and reasonably priced. Well worth a visit and won’t hesitate to return.

Lovely meal. Friendly helpful staff. Brilliant night out

Great place for food..... Beers pretty good as well 👌

First time in the southern broads and we are so glad we picked this place for our meal! It was unreal. Both our meals had so much effort put into the presentation and obviously the cooking. It was sooo tasty, both of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals.The staff were also lovely and very friendly. Definitely recommend it.
