Will Larter left this review about The Abbey Vaults

A busy pub in the back streets between the town centre and the Morrisons supermarket. It looks modern on the outside, but some of the rooms have been fitted out with old style wood panelling and a fireplace. The three hand pumps had two pump clips reversed, but the lass who is running the place told me the last of the Courage Directors and Brains Rev James had been pulled the night before and she had to clean the lines before putting another beer on. I had a half of Guinness which wasn't too cold (£4.60/pint) and found a pleasant corner near the fireplace (don't know if it's functional, but it wasn't needed today anyway). I wouldn't mind coming back here if I could coincide with a cask beer being available.

The original building has been extended and knocked about inside to leave a chain pub with little character.There are two wings to the interior,to the right there is some decent wood paneling,but to the left modern furniture,a pool table and a sterile feel.Marstons are aiming at the cheap pub grub market here,but seem to have cheaper customers,while the three handpumps were offering Wychwood Hobgoblin,Banks's Bitter and Brakspear Bitter,an unexciting choice from their portfolio of brewers.Mine was a brief visit.

As described below, a large single room but with a mixture of areas. Has a modern feel, however there are some nice touches if you look closely, like the splendid carved lintel. Draught beers at time of visit were EPA and Pedigree, with a Hobgoblin not on. The Pedigree was acceptable but not in great condition, despite Cask Marque listing
