Great traditional pub next to Beeston Station. So glad to have discovered this place. Arrived from London and had a late lunch, revisited again after a long walk in the wetlands a few days later and had breakfast there on our last day before heading back to London! Friendly staff, amazing menus, seems very popular with the locals. Lots of tables reserved.
Great pub with unexpectedly high quality food and extremely friendly service. The food selection was brilliant and every item was top bins. Will definitely be back
Visited Saturday 18th March 2023 early evening.
Not going to lie, I was a little worse for wear by the time I got here so this review probably won't be the best.
The pub itself is pretty big and quiet imposing, after entering the door on the right leads to a small room, essentially the 'bar' side, the door on the left leads to the 'lounge' side which is essentially the restaurant.
The bar side was very quiet; however, the restaurant side was packed, it seems to be more of a restaurant than a traditional pub.
Having said that, there were plenty of people just having a drink.
Beer choice is pretty good with some decent cask alongside keg, lager, spirits, wine, soft drinks etc.
Staff were friendly and polite, we didn't eat but the food looked great.
We'll be back next time we're in Beeston and we'll probably eat there.
Edit: Revisited on Monday 17th July for something to eat, had sausage and mash....it was delicious.
A home away from home, my local in the Rylands, where I've never had a bad meal..it's always a lovely treat - affordable too.
Just a couple of meals from lately.
This is a great pub. The ale's always very good and they have an incredible whisky selection with a few peated bottles from the Islay that you don't often see behind bars.
Had a Sunday roast with the Mrs as well, they cater to vegans and it was absolutely delicious.
Atmosphere is great, it's clean and all the staff are really nice. Would be easy to overlook this gem tucked down the side of the train station, I'd say it's one of the best pubs in Beeston.
We had a beautiful Sunday lunch, with family. Great choice and excellent food.
My wife unfortunately left her handbag there, not realising until later.
The honesty and kindness from all the staff was exemplary, one of the staff brought the handbag back to our home.
A truly wonderful service, and so reassuring that the integrity of all the staff at the Victoria is beyond reproach.
Well done, we will certainly be back.
Many thanks.
We had a private space for 40 people at the back of the marquee on a busy Friday evening as a pre wedding get together. Easy to set up with Hannah and her team. Had a gorgeous buffet, lots of choice - way too much food, many compliments on how good it all was. Bought printed tokens from Etsy, used them so people cud have a few drinks from us. All went really well. Thank you.
Great local pub - with much better food than you would expect from first impressions.
Excellent selection of beers, ales and alcoholic drinks. The restaurant has an everchanging menu of great food from all around the world and includes an extensive selection for those with specific dietary requirements. I have been here regularly and I have only had 1 not-so-great experience on a very busy saturday evening (which is to be expected), and it hasn't put me off!
The only criticism I have of the food is that perhaps the chefs tend to cater to a milder palate than I would like when it comes to spicy or bolder flavours.
A great Free House adjacent to Beeston railway station - it even has a gate off one of the platforms. Large selection of cask ales and food looked good (I only had a sandwich which was delectable). Marked down a star because they don't let you drink and smoke. Even though they have a beer garden, you can only smoke in a shelter down an alleyway past a sign saying "no alcohol past this point."
Very variable. Dinner better than lunch. Had beef stew. Best ever. Good atmos and good service. Lots of choice and great beers and wine.
Parking difficult. You will need a side street.
