About This Pub
Ah, the Victoria & Albert Inn in Seaton Delaval – it's one of those places that really stands out for all the right reasons, based on what I've heard from folks who've been. The food is a highlight; we're talking proper homemade pizzas and burgers that sound mouthwatering, plus they've nailed the vegan and veggie options, which is great if you're after something a bit healthier or just different. And the team there? They're dead chatty and make you feel right at home, which adds to the whole experience. Prices are spot on too – inexpensive without skimping on quality, so it's perfect for a relaxed night out. On the downside, it seems like they can struggle with demand on busier days, like that one review where someone booked for a Sunday roast and ended up with no grub, which must've been a real letdown. The website's a bit of a mixed bag as well, with all that repetition making it feel underwhelming. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good feed and a laugh, but maybe give them a ring first if you're going on a popular day – that way, you can avoid any surprises and just enjoy the buzz.

As the song goes I wasn't expecting that. I thought I was going to a rather stuffy upitswlf gastropub, instead we got beautiful homemade pizzas and burgers, oh and onion rings, just what I needed. Team was incredibly friendly, we had a great meal and learned lots about the area. Win double.
Booked a table for 6 at 3:30 on Mother’s Day for Sunday roast. Arrived early so had a drink at our table first. When we went to order food at 3:45 we were told there was no food left! Nobody told us when we arrived that there was a shortage of food or a wait, even though there was already a 2 hour wait before the food ran out. It was impossible to get in anywhere else so our meal was 6 bags of crisps, which they charged me for!!!Shocking. Very badly handled, nobody came to apologise or offer drinks on the house or any other compensation. Disgraceful
Just to say i find the 1 star review absolutely shocking . I ate food from here yesterday I got a delivery off just eat at 12.45 . The food was absolutely amazing, it arrived on time and the beef was perfect . All the food was still hot and didn't need reheating . I normally eat in the pub where the staff are always friendly and can't do enough for you. Please don't be put off the food and service is amazing . Definitely the best around this area. Thanks for all your hard work .
We really enjoyed our Sunday lunch today. So many delicious vegan & veggie options.
So pleased to see so many ppl enjoying the beetroot Wellington and the amazing vegan desserts. The staff are so friendly too
So glad I came across this gem! Me and the hubby have been eating a vegetarian diet recently so we decided to try the vegan menu. The food is outstanding! A class above! It's difficult to call this place a pub because it really feels one step ahead. Newly refurbished with beautiful deco and a really great friendly atmosphere! I recently brought my Mam for afternoon tea and she loved it! Best place for food in my area!
