Great for outdoor dining

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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

The Victoria is praised for its "excellent food and service," especially on Sundays. Guests appreciate the "delicious food" and "great ambience," with standout mentions for the Sunday roasts and friendly staff. While some experiences have been mixed, the restaurant's theme nights, like the 1970s evening, are "fun" and creatively executed.

We’ve eaten here before and really liked it, but Saturday (when we took guests for the first time) was really mediocre. Two margaritas were distinctly average; much of the food reheated. Burgers couldn’t be eaten as such because the base of the very cold rolls was saturated. The two waitresses were doing their best but we’re not receiving supervision or support. A bizarre thing was that I wasn’t allowed to hold on to the wine list after I’d ordered the first bottle. I wanted to decide on a red in addition to the first white, but leaving it wasn’t allowed because there aren’t many copies. Mad!

Dear Rita, Thank you for your feedback. We are truly sorry that your meal on this occasion fell short of the positive experiences you’ve had with us in the past. We’re very disappointed to hear about your experience with the food. Your comments do not reflect the high quality we strive for, and we want to assure you that all our food is made fresh from scratch and never reheated. We will, however, make sure your comments are passed on to our kitchen team for review. We also apologize for the inconvenience regarding the wine list. You certainly should have been able to keep the list for as long as needed and we will ensure the team are more flexible on this moving forward. Thanks again and we hope to welcome you to welcome you back to The Victoria soon. Sincerely, Louisa The Victoria

We eat here fairly regularly, usually Sunday roasts, and without fail we always have a great experience, with excellent food, served by very friendly and helpful staff, in a comfortable environment. We will be back again.

Delicious food, great ambience and a fab team - special shout out to Shaun for finding us an extra space so another friend could join us and for the wine recommendation. Hope to return soon - maybe for the Thursday quiz night
