    Whilst our meals were quite enjoyable, we were disappointed with the arrival of cold coffees and very strong tea, well after they had been ordered. Each of us had an entree sized meal, plus a drink, and 3 had coffee or tea. We were all disappointed with the cost of the meal and drinks , all eat out often and found it very expensive

    Great Food and Staff....but, the size of the room and the high ceilings make for a noisy environment. However, overall, a great venue and the style of the dining area is amazing.

    Service was no problem. Was able to order from a staff member from my table. Food was average. I had the burger. Bun was very dry. Onions were burnt. Very bland in flavour. Unsure if I would go back again

    The reception was excellent upon arriving . Our seating outside under the shady trees also was great and our food coming out on hot plates was a sign of excellence which was also backed up by the staff

    This is a very homey country style pub with exposed timber beams and warm brick walls to suit. They offer the traditional pub choices plus some surprises for those looking for more. Our table enjoyed the house-made snitzels and a chickpea curry. Serves were generous and the food was delicious. This pub will give you a guaranteed welcome and a great evening all around. We enjoyed the Heathcote Shiraz by Hanging Rock Winery.

    The Victoria at Woodend is an unexpected gem, a country pub with a reasonably broad menu and really good food. At 6.30pm on a Saturday it was busy; some sort of celebration going on upstairs kept the staff busy. Families with kids and pensioners like us all got a good level of service from friendly and helpful staff. Besides their range of pizzas they had “standard” pub fare - schnitzels and burgers but we chose the Victoria pub pie (beef & veg) and the Seafood pie. Both were delightful and ample. Guinness is on tap, which is reason enough for me to visit again but the wine list was also reasonably comprehensive and included many local wines. We will go again.

    We visited the Victoria Hotel last week on Thursday night, Friday night and Sunday night. We did this because the food and the service are so good, and we wanted some like-home cooked food. We had the Chicken Schnitzel, Seafood Pie. and the Crumbed Calamari. All meals came with a great thought-about salad and delicious chips. In the centre of the table there is a small bucket on a plate with condiments which cater for all tastes. Great idea! The service is excellent with all staff smiling and welcoming and happy to adjust the food and drinks to your liking. On behalf of ourselves and our guests, we would highly recommend the Victoria Hotel as a really pleasant place to dine. We will be back this week! A++++++
