If you only want a drink this place is ok, however their wine list is nothing to be desired. Eating here is difficult. The menu sounds alot better than it actually is and there are few good places to sit and eat on the ground floor. Food often has a 'chain brand' feel to it and tries to be something... More

Thank you for taking the trouble to post a review. In response to the comments: We do cater for both those guests just after a quick drink or maybe wishing to eat - whether they are after a quick snack at lunch time or a more extensive meal from our restaurant menu. Our wine list is reasonably extensive but inexpensive,... More

I visited the wine vaults a few months ago with my partner. The service was fast and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I had lamb and it was cooked to perfection! The general presentation of the food was very good, it had a nice modern twist with some things being served on a slate. I think this place is... More

I saw an offer on Living Social Deals that coincided with my birthday. My wife and i know Beccles well, a pleasing town of character, but even so we were surprised by the all-round quality of the Wine Vaults. We had fantastic value for money, and would have had without the deal we were treated to. We enjoyed the immediate... More

My fiancée and I enjoyed a brilliant two course meal here last night. It would have been three courses however we couldn't manage a dessert! The location is fabulous, very nice bar with winding corridors in the basement and just fabulous seating areas. We ate in the basement which was a little chilly but this did not spoil the experience.... More

Visited recently, had sea bass which was really tasty. Seemed like a nice place but it was deserted except for me and my family. But whats with the cheesey chips? Its not a burger bar! Basic interior and very limited menu, especially for vegetarians. Its 2011 people! Veggies do exist. More

Dear Guest, Thank you for your valuable feedback. We are very busy generally but we do have some quiet periods so this may explain the lack of other diners during your visit. We do serve food throughout the day so maybe your visit was during the quiet afternoon period? Cheesy chips are a very popular item on our menu and... More

On the last evening of our stay in Beccles we discovered the Wine Vaults. It was a Sunday and we didn't expect to be able to eat but surprisingly enough we were. My partner and I both chose the gammon steak which turned out to be fabulously delicious and huge! The pineapple relish was unusual but very tasty. I had... More

Dear Guest, Thank you and glad you enjoyed your visit to the Wine Vaults. James, our head chef, tries to include some traditional dishes on our menu with a “modern” twist to them. The locally brewed “trawler boys” was one of our guest ales which is named after Lowestoft Town football team. David & Jola More

We arrived for dinner on a Sunday evening, asked if we could sit downstairs with a drink an order - no problem. The menu was varied and plenty to choose from - with a couple of fish specials on the blackboard. We ordered and eventually made our way upstairs. Upon arriving at our table, we found friends of ours at... More

The food was excellent. The staff were very friendly. Eating in the cellar had a great atmosphere. There was also a large range of drinks to choose from.
