Welcome to Vandal, one of Warrington's trendiest dining spots. Whether it is brunch, lunch, dinner or just great drinks you are looking for, our contemporary bar and elegant dining space guarantee great food, great drinks and a great time. Chef Patron, Matthew Carey, is driven by an insatiable passion for flavour and creativity with a devotion to the art of small plates and cooked to perfection st

eaks. Matthew serves an ambitious and imaginative menu to discerning diners who want to eat sociably and stylishly from breakfast through to late supper with cocktails. Drawing inspiration from the ever-changing seasons and up and coming trends, Matthew changes the menu regularly to ensure we always have a unique, stand out selection of dishes to choose from. The small plates are intended for sharing - a mix and match approach of delicious but unpretentious dishes, beautifully cooked and presented. Our walls showcase some of the most incredible artwork, hand painted and drawn by two local artists. The framed work is by Matt Grainger of Vinyl Soul and the striking graffiti by , both commissioned to design and deliver art that we thought was truly unique and eye-catching for us but also reflects their own style and passion. Our bar offers the most fabulous selection of wines and cocktails. Our bar tenders, and owners, have a deep knowledge and expertise and an unwavering enthusiasm for creating perfectly balanced ancestrals, classics and funky twists on tasty tipples. With months spent doing cocktail diplomas, EBS qualifications, endless hours of research and a commitment to always be at the top of our game, we never settle for anything less than perfection in the glass. We won Best Cheshire Bar in 2023 at the Taste Cheshire Awards which was a huge accolade to win in our first year of trading. Dine in the kitchen, where you can watch the chefs at work or sit in the bar with the roaring open fire. The dining room has a slightly more formal feel and the rooftop is a little oasis perched above town, offering an enchanted escape. Whether you are sipping under the stars or soaking in the sun, it is a gorgeous addition to our already funky space.

Five wines. Five tastes. One very good Friday night. 🍷

Our A Taste of Vandal evening is coming up this Bank Holiday Friday, 28th August — and if you love good food and good wine, this one’s for you.

We’ll be pouring five carefully chosen wines, each paired with its own Vandal taste from the kitchen. Think more generous than a canapé, smaller than one of our usual small plates — just enough to properly enjoy each pairing before moving on to the next.

It’s a chance to try something new, discover some brilliant wines and enjoy Vandal a little differently for the evening.

🍷 5 wines
🍴 5 paired tastes
🎟️ £55 per person
📍 Vandal, Warrington
✨ Friday 28th August, 7pm

Tickets are limited, so grab your favourite food-and-wine person and come spend the evening with us.

A Taste of Vandal.
Five pours. Five plates. One delicious night. 🥂

If you’ve never had burrata before… we need to fix that. 🤌

Think mozzarella, but with a seriously indulgent little secret.

Burrata starts with a delicate pouch of fresh mozzarella, but cut into it and the centre spills out into a ridiculously soft mixture of stracciatella — fine shreds of mozzarella — and rich cream. Silky, buttery, milky and almost impossibly luxurious.

It’s one of those ingredients that doesn’t need much messing with, which is exactly why we’ve paired ours with sweet charred peaches, toasted walnuts and fresh herbs — creamy, juicy, smoky, crunchy, sweet and salty all on one plate.

If you’re the person who normally skips past burrata because you’re not quite sure what it is…

Order it. Trust us. 🍑

And preferably add a very cold glass of wine. Because Thursday. 🍷

One of those dishes that sounds good on the menu… and then arrives at the table and is so much better than you expected.

Sweet & sour pickled mussels, ajoblanco, summer vegetables and crispy tortilla.

Fresh, salty, sharp, a little sweet, loads of crunch — and basically impossible to stop picking at once you start.

Grab a cold bottle of wine, order six plates for the table and make sure this is one of them. 🤌

6 small plates + a bottle of wine for £30pp.

Now the only difficult bit is choosing the other five.

A little appreciation post for the dish that’s been with us since DAY ONE. 🥹

🧀 BLACK BOMBER CROQUETTES

They’ve survived every menu change we’ve ever made — because quite frankly, we’d have a riot on our hands if we took them off. 😂 We’ve sold hundreds and hundreds of these little beauties over the years.

But what actually is Black Bomber?

It’s an award-winning extra mature Cheddar made in Snowdonia — rich, creamy, seriously punchy and ridiculously good when melted. We turn it into our croquettes: crisp and golden on the outside, soft, molten and gloriously cheesy in the middle, finished with mustard mayo and, naturally, even more cheese.

If you’ve been coming to Vandal for years, there’s a very good chance you’ve already eaten your fair share.

And if you haven’t tried them yet… where have you been?! 😂🧀

BURRATA + PEACHES 🍑

One of the new dishes on the menu and basically summer on a plate.

Creamy burrata, sweet charred peaches, crunchy walnuts, fresh herbs and all those lovely sweet, sharp, salty bits underneath. The sort of plate that disappears very quickly once everyone’s had “just a taste”. 👀

Fresh, simple and ridiculously good with a cold glass of wine.

Surviving the summer holidays? We’ve got you. 🍸

The kids have eaten every snack in the house, you’ve heard “I’m bored” approximately 847 times and your bank account has taken an absolute battering.

You’ve earned this. 😂

Bottomless Brunch is just £25pp throughout August. 🥂

90 minutes of bottomless drinks, great food, grown-up conversation and absolutely nobody asking you to open another packet of snacks.

A little booking note: our booking system will still show the usual £39 price when you reserve — don’t panic! If your booking is for a date in August, we’ll reduce it to £25pp on the day.

Grab the group chat. Book the babysitter. Come and hide with us.

£25 Bottomless Brunch | 90 minutes | All August

Because surviving the summer holidays deserves a cocktail. Or several.

MUSSELS… but not as you know them 👀

One of the brand new plates hitting the Vandal menu this weekend and this one is an absolute belter.

Sweet & sour pickled mussels, ajoblanco, summer veggies & crispy tortilla.

Salty, sharp, sweet, fresh, loads of crunch and ridiculously moreish. The kind of plate you order “for the table” and then immediately regret agreeing to share.

If mussels usually make you think of a big bowl swimming in sauce… forget all that. These are something completely different.

And YES — they’re included in our 6 small plates + a bottle of wine for £30pp deal. 🍷

Landing on the new menu this weekend…🍤

Garlic butter king prawns, warm Marie Rose sauce, baby gem, shallots, salt & vinegar crisps.

Juicy, buttery prawns, that creamy, tangy Marie Rose and plenty of crunch from the baby gem and salt & vinegar crisps. Properly fresh, a little bit nostalgic and ridiculously moreish.

One for the middle of the table. Although we won’t judge if you refuse to share. 👀

New menu available this weekend at Vandal.
