    A good selection of well made pub grub that includes dietary options for those with allergies. Decent selection of local wines too. My schnitzel was tasty but could use some aioli or something on the side.

    The food was wonderful - great choices for gluten free. Good range of desserts although the lemon meringue pie was a bit flat. The meringue seemed a bit soggy - perhaps not mixed enough to become stiff before being fired on top. Rest of the meal was perfect as usual - the beef and red wine pie is delicious - my favourite meal at The Victoria.
