The Vaults, Cambridge

I'm obviously far too sensible in my old age as I'm a little concerned that doing cocktails on a Tuesday night is a little much, but that doesn't stop me though as we take on Las Iguanas bar. Then sense kicks in again when the answer to the equation:
No food + cocktails;
is thought through to its logical conclusion.
Hence we have some food (and cocktails) in The Vaults. Worryingly we are the only people in the restaurant side of the place which usually starts alarm bells ringing in my head, so we order slightly warily.
The menu is set up tapas style, as in there are plenty of small dishes for all to share, rather than there being a Spanish influence, as is fitting for a bar, so we order Braised Beef Cheeks, Dauphinoise Potatoes, Scallops and Bacon and Mediterranean Vegetables topped with Haloumi Cheese. It turns out that my wariness was misplaced as everything is very edible with the beef in it's rich sauce being the best of our selection, dovetailing nicely with the creamy potato dish. Fun bar food and perhaps worthy of a more serious examination at some point.
