Easily the best pub around Paddington. Not much competition but The Victoria is a hidden gem - amazing staff, well kept ales and top quality pub grub. Particular recommend the sausage and mash, pies, and pork belly.
This place is quite amazing and exceeded my expectations when I booked a table for 2 the other day. Nice and artsy decorated inside and despite being Halloween week the seasonal additions were not overboard. We got there early at 5.30pm and by 7pm the place was getting very full. Service was efficient and the staff friendly, while the food was excellent pub fare with a twist and well-proportioned. Got the soup of the day as starter, then the supreme chicken with the mushroom sauce and to top it off the apple and blackberry crumble with cononut ice-cream. Everything looked and tasted delicious, just check the photos! Definitely recommended and will be visiting again soon.
We arrived around 4pm and easily find some place to sit downstairs, we ordered the foccaccia bread, the scallops, chickens wings, 2 mains (which were quite expensive) and one dessert plus some drinks and paid around £50 pp.
I highly recommend the chicken wings as a snack, they were excellent.
The people working at the bar and service were really nice and helpful.
Love this pub! Beautifully renovated Victorian pub with the authentic charm of a bygone era.
We love to go here for the Sunday Roast and wash it down with a cold beer!
Quintessentially, elevated British Pub experience!
Outside seating also available.
2 minute walk to Hyde Park.
Lovely British pub! Really enjoyed the Sunday roast. Our family stacked up on nut roast, pork roast, beef roast and lamb roast. Definitely very English food and was a great experience. Service was excellent and we left very satisfied. We came on a hot summer day and it was a bit stuffy, but that’s how it is innit. Lovely place overall
Inspired by a Rick Steve's episode, we found ourselves at The Victoria, a place steeped in legend. Rumor has it Queen Victoria herself once stopped in for a pint, and they named the place in her honor. Talk about a royal endorsement!
We arrived on a late Thursday evening and were pleasantly surprised by the lively atmosphere at 10PM. As newcomers to English culture, we were initially stumped by the lack of table service. But a quick trip to the bar sorted us out, and soon we were sipping on an ESB, a Tiny Rebel, and a hot chocolate.
The interior was a delight, exactly the kind of ambiance we were hoping for. If only we'd noticed the sign explaining the ordering process sooner. Live and learn!
And what does Moses, my trusty plastic sidekick, think? He gives The Victoria his seal of approval. So, follow in the footsteps of royalty and enjoy a pint at The Victoria!
Fantastic food and excellent service. Takes pub food to a whole new level. The dining room was small but lovely. Definitely worth booking and going early before it gets crowded.
Victoria Pub is my top pick in the area. Their beer selection is top-notch, boasting a variety of unique and classic brews. The food surpasses regular pub fare, serving up delicious and high-quality dishes. The place's architecture and decor make you feel its rich history, creating an amazing atmosphere. It's a delightful fusion of great drinks, tasty food, and an inviting ambiance. Highly recommended!
Myself and my girlfriend visited London for 3 nights and on our final night we booked a table at short notice at The Victoria. My partner is coeliac and they catered for this, she had steak with potatoes and even the peppercorn sauce was gluten free!! I had the steak and ale pie which was beautiful, I would go as far as to say it was the best pie I had ever tasted! They even offered a gluten free pudding which was also amazing. Will definitely visit again!
Lovely pub.Met family from out of town there for reunion lunch first time since pandemic and had requested a longer lunch time reservation than the norm. They were so accommodating. Let us eat, drink, linger and catch up. Can't say enough about it! Wonderful staff and pub!
Great spot for a quick beer. Friendly staff and amazing atmosphere. Food was delectable and would recommend the signature dish, Shoulder of South Coast Lamb.
