Nice cool dog friendly place with a good selection of beers and food.
Sat in the bar to eat as we had the dog, had the pulled pork pizza and a burger both were great. There was a reassuring wait for for food allowing us to have some of our drink and show that the food was freshly prepared and care was taken.
Only slight disappointment was a lack of Nachos on the menu.
I’m one for a burger, so far I used to think Coast to Coast held the title for the best burger. I’ve got to say that the Dirty Doris burger absolutely takes the title as being the best. Nice one guys, top burger whoo.
Another fantastic meal at PV....amazing food together with fantastic staff and superb service, we wouldn't go anywhere else in York when looking for great food, drink and atmosphere...PV has it all. A place that suggests cocktails for pudding will always get my vote! Hats off to you all...I only wish I could give you more than a 5* rating!
Absolutely fabulous, really impressed, cooked to perfection and staff friendly and attentive, definitely recommend this place
Great place for some top quality food and beer, very friendly staff, can't think of anywhere better in York
Been in a few times but never eaten, finally got round to it on Saturday and the food was so delicious. The smoked brisket bun was amazing, will be having the ribs next time oh or the Doris burger, can't decide! Really good service too, can't wait to return 😀🍖🍻
Lovely food, drink and outstanding service. From entering at a busy time with 4 adults and 4 kids under 10 Colin and the rest of the vaults team looked after us. The food is great and the customer service is outstanding and you are made to feel like a valued customer from start to finish. Would def recommend and will def be back when we are next in York.
Fantastic staff fantastic food (highly recommend #naughtydorris) and a brilliant selection of beers, one of my favourite places to go for food in york!
Come here often and always bring my visitors here. You get an amazing welcome , food , service and atmosphere second to none. This place never fails, also you are allowed to bring your pooches into the bar area, well done Pavement Vaults 10 out of 10

Had a lovely evening in Pavement Vaults last night, can't fault the staff...all really friendly and chatty. Thank you guys, we'll be back again for sure.
We only popped in for a drink but have been there before. Excellent friendly service is guaranteed !
Smashing friendly staff and the best cue this side of the Carolinas.
First time in there for me on Saturday lunch time. Lovely pub very friendly staff will defo b going back!
We had a really nice time here. It's not 5 stars from me, but I'm being really picky, yet I'd eat here again in a heartbeat ☺️🤤
The staff were great, it was busy, but they were really helpful and very friendly. The food was also really good and darn tasty TBH.
Now why am I being picky? Only that I hoped this would be more of a traditional BBQ place 🤷♂️ And I use the word "traditional" in a "BBQ snobby" way. I like and enjoy cooking smoked low and slow BBQ food, but the only thing that tasted, even a little bit, smokey was the sausage 🤷♂️ So I was a little disappointed, but we left full of great food and happy.
Wow ! Incredible food, sensational experience… some of the best food my wife and I have eaten anywhere in the world. Absolutely belting. Portions were on the large size, but that aside the quality, the cooking, taste and eating was stunning. We’ve not had ribs like this anywhere, ever. If you want quality food of this kind, you will struggle to beat it I think, anywhere, not just in York. If you like ribs and BBQ food, pop this place right at the top of your list, but book ! Simple to book on line…. But avoids disappointment. Staff super attentive, orders were spot on, nice for staff to listen and bring what you’ve asked for.
Thank you.
Amazing food, nice staff and environment.
Split the tray meal plus a side and it was enough food.
Everything was great, fried chicken was the best I'd had.
Beer was very good too.
Booked the table via Google maps and it was ready for our arrival.
Finally found a delicious BBQ. I'm from Leeds and since the BBQ popularity has died down, the restaurants there have either shut down or become a shade of their former selves (looking at you, Red's). So glad I found this place.
All the meat was perfect. We got the big beast tray to share between 3 of us after the server kindly warned us 3 individual trays would probably be too much. I think she'd have been right. This was plenty and oh, so tasty.
My only constructive feedback would be to offer some proper Texas Toast, we all agreed that this was a sorely missed component to a true barbecue tray. Maybe some bbq beans too.
Service was top notch, restaurant was nice and clean and the toilets were a pleasant surprise. Well maintained and not the afterthought a lot of other restaurants seem to think they are.
Overall I highly recommend this place if you're looking for some delicious, proper barbecue.
We'll definitely be back.
Ordered from the light menu for lunch in the main pub area. Very impressed. Big selection of drinks too. Service very good.
Great place for BBQ food we just had one of there burgers as we was not that hungry but they are still plenty to eat great atmosphere and friendly staff
So this isn't the first time we have been here to eat, however the food is always good an packs lots of flavours, I would recommend the mac an cheese along with your main was very nice. 😀
We went there on Sunday 28 April 2024, midday. Great place - clean and with a happy atmosphere. Really nice and very friendly staff. Between us we ordered tea, coffee, soft drinks, gin and beer - all very good. Food coming through looked very nice although we didn't eat as had booked elsewhere - we would have liked to. We'll be going back for sure.
Great atmosphere, great food and great service. Was so impressed. The staff were there when you needed them even with how busy it was
Having been a visitor to York for many years I have had Pavement Vaults recommended to me a number of times but have never been. Today we visited for dinner and drinks and we thoroughly enjoyed the food and service. I was not expecting to find a full BBQ menu with slow smoked meats, and excellent burgers. The BBQ Beast platter featured the most tender St Louis Rib, a generous portion of succulent pulled pork, perfectly crispy chicken wings and delicious breaded buttermilk fried chicken. The accompanying chips, pickles and slaw were a very welcome addition and the two sauces were simple yet sublime. It tasted like the BBQ sauce was made in-house. The burger was juicy, packed full of flavour and topped with crispy bacon and cheese, with a large helping of the pulled pork to top it off. In hindsight, the side order of Macaroni Cheese might have been one dish too many, but we didn’t regret it, and having been craving Mac & Cheese for the past few week, this was simply wonderful. Service was super friendly and attentive and there was a chilled laid back vibe to the bar area.
