The food is usually very good and they regularly change and add to their menu. A little cramped for space sometimes at busy times but has a great atmosphere and is popular.

We had a lovely meal here. The food was delicious. The staff were friendly. They had a lovely (but limited) child's menu. The beer wasn't over priced. The only downer: I thought it was just a little overpriced for the portion sizes - although my partner didn't agree.

First time we walked out, it was too busy for the apathetic staff, but second time was fine. Plenty of seating areas, all a bit intimate, but this is fine by me. A traditional country style pub in a very old building, so quite interesting as you enjoy your drink. Nothing hugely special, but well worth a punt!

I visited on a Friday lunchtime with friends who kindly ordered tapas before I arrived - 6 bowls between 3 ladies seemed enough with the bread, oil & balsamic accompaniment. We had prawns, scallops etc. Order food at the bar and they will bring it over to you. It isn't a cheap lunch, but enjoyable and "picky" food is my... More

Lots of choice on the menu particularly if you like fish, although last time our whole party had steak & everyone's came just as ordered (from rare to cremated!) I have also had the best rissotto I have ever tasted here & it has now become one of my favourite to cook it was so delicious. The menu changes seasonally... More

The Vine has a very diverse menu from traditional homely bangers and mustard mash to succulent fish dishes, ostrich burgers or mezze. A great selection to suit all tastes. As a gastro pub, you can enjoy a relaxing drink before you dine, in the summer there is a tiny outside area. The food is of an excellent standard and great... More

I have been to the Vine in Ware a couple of times in the past, but only for drinks in the evening and never for food. Then last week we had friends from Spain over and planned to take them out for a meal, so thought that we would try the Vine even though we have not eaten there before.... More

I have heard alot about their Grill nights on wednesdays so had arranged for a table of 6 for family. The service was prompt and attentive with the same waitress serving our drinks and food. The food was cooked beautifully with us all having steaks cooked differently and with ever changing sides to go with them they were all correct.... More

I work in Ware and so have made many trips to the Vine, the latest being on Friday night. On previous visits I've thought the food has been good, certainly not outstanding, but I've been happy nonetheless. However, Friday night was different.....overcooked and woody asparagus with a butter sauce that was overrun with water from the other ingredients on the... More

I've been going here a lot since last summer, mainly after i finish my bike rides (Ware is normally our end destination). It doesn't have a Garden but has a great fron seating area to watch the world go by, so perfect in Summer. Especially because they serve my favourite beers and have a great selection (not your normal fosters... More
