Customer Review Summary
Burgers are the draw at The Vault, with the New York smash burger and the London Smash named most often, usually alongside loaded fries and chips that reviewers call great value and far better than fast food. Close behind are the mac 'n' cheese, described as spot on, plus the chicken and waffles with hot honey, the dirty clucker and the wings, some of which are spicy. Several praise the friendly staff and the owner, who chatted with diners about the building, which used to be a bank, and adjusted meals to suit preferences. One server also fetched ingredient information for a diabetic child. Reviewers also note that most of the menu can be made vegan or veggie, that dogs get a bowl of water, and that electronic darts and shuffleboard add to the fun. The one critical review found the portions unbelievably small, and while the burger was replaced, the reviewer said their impression was already made. Others close on the owner sitting down at the table to talk through the building's history.

“Went here last Sunday. New chef in the kitchen but clearly trained very well. Loved the food and host was very nice. Overall wonderful experience. (Get the dirty clucker)”

“Had a lovely time at The Vault in Retford! The service was great, and the food was even better. The place is incredibly vegan/veggie friendly, and they’re able to make most of the menu vegan! Highly recommend :)”

“My burger came out with the longest dark hair in and can’t say much about the portion sizes they were unbelievable small the staff did change my burger but my impression was already made. We like to eat locally but feel I would not be able to endorse this establishment”
- Jenny Windsor
“Dog friendly so big bonus… Been twice now and they are amazing burgers! Prices are very reasonable and not much more than a fast food burger but 100 x the quality and flavour!! The staff are all lovely and the novelty of dining in my old bank adds to the atmosphere. Took my dad to try the London Smash today and he is keen to go back again soon. Highly recommend this place!”
- Jessica Middleton
“Offers a lot of different drinks as well as activities like shuffle board and interact darts. Good menu choice for burgers and wings. Some of it is spicy. They can make most items veggie”
