About This Pub

Ah, The Victoria, what a gem of a pub tucked away on Sudell Road – it's got that classic British charm that just makes you want to settle in for the evening. From the reviews I've seen, the staff really go the extra mile to make you feel welcome; Emma, in particular, comes across as the perfect host, always ready with a smile and ensuring everything runs smoothly. The drinks selection is spot on, with a good mix for all tastes, and if you're popping in for a bite, their Sunday dinners sound absolutely mouthwatering and won't set you back much at all. The seating, whether you're opting for indoors or out, adds to the relaxed feel, perfect for a chat over a pint. On the flip side, though, the opening times seem a bit muddled in the details, so you'd want to confirm those to avoid turning up when it's quiet or closed. And with no recent buzz online, it's hard to say if it's still hitting the high notes, but based on the glowing feedback from a few years back, I'd say it's worth a visit for a proper, down-to-earth pub experience. All in all, if you're in the area and fancy a friendly spot without the fuss, give it a go – you might just find your new local!

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in – Emma seems to be a real star based on what folks have said.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of drinks, including both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, so there's something for everyone whether you're after a perfect pint or a soft drink.
  • The atmosphere is warm and cosy, with lovely seating areas both inside and out, ideal for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
  • The food is spot on, especially their Sunday dinners, which are described as amazing and reasonably priced – a proper treat without breaking the bank.
  • It's an inexpensive spot, meaning you can enjoy a great night out without worrying too much about the cost.
Cons
  • The operating hours look a bit confusing from what's listed, so it might be worth double-checking before heading over to avoid any disappointment.
  • There haven't been any recent reviews in the last six months, which makes me wonder if things have stayed as brilliant as the older ones suggest.
  • With no website or claimed online presence, it's a tad tricky to get the latest info or book ahead, which could be a hassle if you're planning a visit.
