Vault Bar + Kitchen, Whalley: Eat, drink and stay a while.
Lancashire produce cooked with ideas borrowed from everywhere, cocktails built properly at the bar, and a garden for the sunny afternoons. On King Street, in the heart of Whalley.
The place
A bar and kitchen in the heart of Whalley.
Vault is a restaurant in Whalley, on King Street in the middle of the village. The bar and the dining room are downstairs, there is a quieter floor above, and out the back is a garden that fills up the moment the sun comes out.
Business lunch, date night, a table of ten on a Friday. Whatever the occasion, the idea is the same. Dishes built on Lancashire produce, cocktails made with care, and service that feels like being looked after. We have become the place people meet in Whalley, Clitheroe and the rest of the Ribble Valley, and we like it that way.

The room
Downstairs, upstairs,

The bar and dining room downstairs, a quieter floor above for dinner and long lunches, and the garden out the back for when the weather behaves. Music in the background, never over the top of you.
Private hire & parties
The upstairs, the garden,
or the whole place.
For a birthday, a work do, a Christmas party or a wedding party the night before, there is a quieter floor upstairs, the garden out the back, and the whole building when you want it. Groups of eight or more, private hire and the whole upstairs for a party all go through the same door: email us and we will come back to you with what we can do.
