Pavement Vaults in York

Ah, Pavement Vaults – it's one of those places in York that just hits the spot when you're in the mood for some proper BBQ and a good catch-up with mates. From what I've gathered, the food is spot on; think smoky pulled pork, juicy ribs, and other mouth-watering dishes that are full of flavour and come in portions that'll have you loosening your belt a notch. Pair that with the friendly staff who go out of their way to make sure you're looked after, and you've got a recipe for a great night out. The drinks selection is another winner, with a rotating lineup of craft beers and cocktails that keep things interesting. It's all set in this historic location with a modern twist, which adds a lovely bit of character without feeling stuffy. On the flip side, it's not the cheapest option around, so you might want to plan ahead if you're watching the pennies, and it can get pretty packed, especially on weekends, which might mean a bit of a queue or a noisier vibe than you'd prefer. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone after a relaxed meal with a bit of history and heart – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, but just keep those little niggles in mind for a balanced experience.
