Serious Pinball
Seven Stern machines lined up and ready to go. That alone makes The Vault one of the best pinball spots in Cornwall — most places are lucky to have one tucked in a corner. All premium quality, all properly maintained. If you know Stern, you know what that means — tight gameplay, satisfying mechs, and tables that actually work the way they should.
Whether you’re chasing a high score or just want to smack some flippers around, there’s a machine here that’ll hook you. Godzilla is a beast of a table. Deadpool is pure chaos in the best way.
Pinball Sundays
Ninety minutes of unlimited pinball across every machine, for a fiver. Families pile in, kids go wide-eyed at the tables, and the regulars quietly compete for bragging rights in the corner. It’s relaxed, it’s cheap, and it’s one of the best things to do in Wadebridge on a Sunday morning. Worth checking their socials to confirm it’s running that week before you head down.
The Vibe
Walk in off Molesworth Street and you’d never guess what’s downstairs. That’s part of the charm. The Vault feels like a genuine discovery — the kind of place someone tells you about in the pub and you’re not quite sure they’re serious until you see it yourself.
Beyond the pinball there are retro arcade cabinets, a karaoke room that gets progressively louder as the evening goes on, and a proper bar. During the day it’s family-friendly — kids running between machines, parents nursing a coffee. Come evening, the lights drop, the drinks flow, and it turns into something completely different.
It’s not trying to be a theme park. It’s not trying to be Instagram-perfect. It’s just a genuinely fun, slightly unexpected place in a small Cornish town — and the people who find it tend to come back.
