Fantastic!!
Good food and drink on our visit to UK
Pasta, pizza and shots of Baileys and Limoncello were the best!

Visited Vault and vine on a Saturday evening in November.
Location.
The converted bank is stunning, having great kerbside appeal. This grandeur is mirrored inside, beautifully decorated, with well placed tables. The original vault door is still in use behind the var, which is an interesting feature.
Atmosphere.
The restaurant was full as we would expect. All customers seemed to be enjoying their experience, with no signs of customers trying to gain waiting staff's attention to pay or to chase up their food orders.
Food.
Our group of four had mixed reviews. The Bruschetta as a starter was overloaded with roughly chopped, not finely chopped garlic, resulting in mouthfuls of garlic at times. The prawns were presented with a small amount of rocket. When asked what the pink coloured swirl decorating my plate was, the one word reply was "decoration", I expected some sort of explanation of what I was about to eat. Three of us had pizzas, two were fine, the third lacked ingredients, having only a few pieces of tired looking ham on an undercooked pizza base. The fourth dish was Tagliolini prawns. Although tasty the portion size was small and contained only four king prawns, which does not warrant a price of £15.95.
Staff.
The staff were very busy, hard working, however seemed to lack product knowledge and basic waiting staff etiquette.
We were waved over to our table from the centre of the restaurant by our waiter, rather than meet us at the front door apologise for the delay and then seat us.
No space left to hang our damp winter coats so we had to hang them on the chairs or sit on them as we were in a booth.
Whilst eating our starters we were interrupted to ask if we would order our main courses.
In summary a great location, with hard working staff who could benefit with further waiting training. The food was hit and miss, with a confusing mixture of ingredients but reasonably priced for such a location.
This review is our opinion only. we wish the team at Vault and Vine all the best with their new venture, however we wont be returning. We will continue to use our usual Italian restaurant in Harborough, Casa Nostra.

Excellent extensive Italian menu and very tasty and attractive meal
Surroundings were exceptional- the restoration of the old bank building was well considered and executed
An long needed asset to the town!

Had a lovely experience the other day at the vault and vine, came in on a Sunday so was quieter than your average Friday or Saturday night but our server Sandip made our night very comfortable and relaxed. 10/10 food especially with all the pasta dishes being homemade. Would definitely recommend to others and will be returning.

We have been here what must be a dozen times now since it opened, so we have seen it from the beginning.
It did have a rocky start, but the good news is they have come through that and it’s now a much better proposition and is well worth going to.
The service has improved massively, the food offering has changed over time too and it’s now a place worthy of visiting.
The original chef has moved on too, so it really is a changed place from those early days.
Last night there were four of us, all four thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service matched what was put in front of us.
The building has always been the highlight, but now they have food and service to match the surroundings.
If you were one of the earlier customers who wasn’t impressed, it maybe time to give this another chance as you’ll clearly see it’s now very very good.
My choices are the fish platter for main, but also the chicken Alfredo pasta is great for a lunchtime

Second time visiting and was really looking forward to the meal. It was busy which was nice to see.
The service was good although it still makes me chuckle that they serve one drink at a time.
The starters were very large, the spicy prawns were very spicy, its in the name I suppose.
My main of seabass was a bit over cooked and the veg served with it was cold and only two bits which I thought was a little stingy. The chicken dishes were OK but the chicken had not been cooked in the sauce so weren't as good as they could have been.
Big menu so lots of choice.
The cocktails were very well made and tasty.
