http://www.vault-restaurant.co.uk/

The restaurant is downstairs at the Dronfield Arms on Sheffield Road, Dronfield (near the rail station) and offers the quality cooking and smart and intimate surroundings of a good restaurant but with the prices and relaxed atmosphere found at a gastropub.

It is open evenings Thursday to Saturday from 5pm and also Saturday lunchtime.

There are three menus - dinner, early evening and lunch. The Saturday lunch menu is available to enjoy in both the pub and restaurant.

i have been to your pub tonight. while i agree your inprovements to the old sidings are good. but why place the staircase to your vaults area in the middle of the trading area? why do i bring it up its made an already

[old cossack]

sorry carry on from above. its made the pub smaller and narrow. the vaults part has got a outside enter point that with good lighting and posting would be better than the staircase in the trading area. plus you prices for drinks have gone up a lot its cheaper in the three tuns now which is not cheap by any means.dronfield may come across as well off but not are. i will stick to the browm bear pub vaule for money.

Re the prices in the Dronfield Arms, I disagree Old Cossack. Farmer's Blond is £2.60, Best Bitter £2.70 and the mild only £2.40 I think. This is not expansive, is it? If you have a regular's card (costs £1), when you buy your 7th pint, you get your 8th pint free, meaning the actual prices are £2.28, £2.36 and £2.10 respectively. I am not aware of better value than that in Dronfield, how much do you pay normally for a pint?
I think this is great value!

The Three Tuns is not at all expensive!!!

I've been to the Brown Bear in Sheffield. Its a Sam Smiths pub. All things considered I would rather avoid the place and pay a bit more to drink nice beer and eat nice food in a nice atmosphere.

ps - the Dronfield Arms is not my pub.
