Set in a leafy residential area close to Richmond Park, The Victoria is a traditional public house and restaurant with a modern edge. Leading off from the cosy but spacious bar, The Victoria’s dining room is located in a bright and airy conservatory-style extension which overlooks a beautifully tended garden. During the day sunlight floods in, even on the darkest of days, while evening guests can dine with the stars as they twinkle over the beautiful candlelit room. With a varied and eclectic menu, The Victoria really does offer something for everyone with the best of British combining with touches of summery Mediterranean flavour, just a sprinkling of experimentation and all the skill of chef Paul Merrett and his team.

Visited The Victoria only a few months earlier in summer. Service was spot on, food was great. Unfortunately the service was a bit haphazard this time but still friendly. The squid starter was bland, badly presented and poor value at £9. The mushy peas with the fish & chips was tasteless. Just expected more after having visited a few months earlier.

Lovely, intimate setting for a 1970s themed evening. We had a brief talk from the chef on the food for the evening and his own memories of the era, a really nice touch to set the scene for the evening. The service, as always, was attentive and friendly, there were nice touches such as retro menu design and table setting. Everything from the 70s inspired cocktails through to the desserts were inspired and delicious. Well done to The Victoria for pulling off another lovely event.

All the staff are lovely and the service is outstanding. A big thank you to all of them. We came to a 70’s evening. Although it was enjoyable and the menu was a 70’s menu the food wasn’t actually prepared as if it was the 70’s. We enjoyed the starter and main course but the desert Angel Delight or Black Forest Cherry cake were a disappointment. Especially the Black Forest Cherry cake. It didn’t bear any relation to a real Black Forest Cherry Cake. Such a pity. This one was heavy , sickly & covered with cherries which did not seem to be sour cherries. We had a German Black Forest Cherry cake for our wedding in 1979. The real cake is very light and absolutely delicious. Aside from that we had an enjoyable evening and we do recommend The Victoria.
