  “Very pleasant modern restaurant under a big renovated hotel. A good choice of what may initially seem to be a nice but standard menu, elevated with obvious care and attention and extra well selected elements from the head chef and delivered with the same eye for detail. My Chicken burger was certainly a step or two above you standard with kimchi coleslaw and perfectly spiced batter. My wife's seafood Spaghetti was brimming with local fresh fish and crustaceans. Friendly staff. Only suggestion is maybe they could to tweak the wine and beer range upmarket a bit to match the food. All in all very good indeed.”

  “In short this was the best roast dinner I have ever eaten! All the small details added up to a standard as yet unmatched elsewhere. The food looked every bit as good as it tasted and the flavours were punchy and perfectly balanced. Sadly, I am not a local or otherwise The Vault would be a regular haunt and my waistline would cry out for bigger trousers! A lovely, welcoming, stylish place serving great food - highly recommended.”

  “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars What a wonderful place. The food was exceptional from start to finish. The starters and nibbles were fresh, tasty, and a great way to begin the meal. The mussels were probably the best my brother and I have ever had — fresh, juicy, meaty, and absolutely packed with flavour. The ladies both chose the scampi and confirmed it was perfectly cooked, fresh, and delicious. For dessert, they enjoyed the rice pudding and tiramisu, accompanied by fresh filter coffee. Everything was beautifully presented and the flavours were amazing. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our visit. Compliments to the chef and the whole team. All in all, a well-deserved 5 stars. We will definitely be returning, and if you're visiting Whitby, give this place a try — you won't be disappointed. 🍽️ Highly recommended.”

  “We came here on a whim for Sunday dinner, from the start the service was absolutely amazing! Two ladies served us the whole night (sorry i didn’t catch your names!) and they were so attentive and lovely to all three of us, including our toddler. The food was amazing and great value. We would recommend this restaurant 100 times and would definitely come here again. Thankyou !”

  “We found the Vault via Google & booked Sunday lunch. What a gem, the best Sunday lunch the 4 of us have had. Taste, presentation & how it was cooked were all 10/10. Excellent staff too”

  “I'm not a fan of a roast dinner, even more so when it's forced on you as the only choice all because it's Sunday. Booked not realising this was all that was on offer. Anyway I had pork, husband had lamb. By far the best roast I have ever had on my 37 years. Four slices of thick pork, proper crackling & tasty gravy with mash and roast potatoes. Would highly recommend”

  “Sunday roast was the best I’ve had, and service was friendly and attentive. Good “fancy pub” vibes. Would highly recommend. The only thing I would have liked to have seen was a cocktail menu! But just G&Ts for me”

  “We stayed at the hotel this weekend to celebrate our 15th anniversary, and it was such a fantastic experience. The restaurant launched a new menu on the night we arrived and honestly, it was out of this world. We ended up eating there both nights, trying the Vault Burger and the flat iron steak on the first night, and the chicken burger on the second (pictured… apologies to the chef, I couldn’t pronounce it, let alone spell it!). Every meal was a really generous portion and absolutely delicious, there’s genuinely nothing I would change. We also had breakfast both mornings, with the full English and eggs Benedict, which were beautiful. The staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming, and it never felt forced. We can’t wait to go back. Price range was great and that includes the drinks for too.”

  “We had one of the best Sunday dinners we’ve had in a long time. The food was absolutely exceptional with fantastic portions size and everything on the plate being perfectly cooked. As a family with two boys, it was great to see everyone of us genuinely enjoy their meal, we all loved it. The service made the visit perfect and the two girls who looked after us were outstanding—friendly, attentive, and incredibly professional, making us feel welcome from start to finish. It was a relaxed, enjoyable afternoon for the whole family, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend this restaurant to others.”
