Queen Victoria in Newcastle upon Tyne

A cosy and friendly place. Food is amazing, friendly staff who always have time for you and most importantly (to me anyways) dog / puppy friendly. Keep up the good work guys :)

A nice interior with friendly staff, however the toilets are awful and in serious need of both a clean and revamp.

After reopening of The Queen Victoria, decided to try Sunday lunch as the Xmas menu looked good . We were planning for all the Family to have Xmas Dinner there. So pleased we had . The food was appauling. Meal was nearly cold. Yorkshire so hard you couldnt cut it. The carrots and mash edible. Parsnip rock hard in the centre unchewable. The roast beef, no idea how that had been cooked, under cooked/ raw very pink and tough to even try to eat. 4 meals of Roast beef/one meal of Roast chicken . Chicken was cooked perfect, but that was all. Complaint fell on deaf ears.

Brilliant place, music not to loud, food was excellent, all round a good afternoon out

Had our small wedding reception booked, just got an email that they have cancelled it, no explanation, said we could have it August we get married October. Given us three months notice even though I was told not to worry. Probably a bigger party booked instead. Very unreliable, will never visit or recommend again.

So we had our very small simple wedding reception booked, that I have spent money on decorations for, wouldn't take a deposit and wouldn't let us pay for food until two weeks before, received a voicemail telling me they had cancelled it but could give us August-we are getting married October. Very very bad, still no explanation as to why. Why have they not got a pub number to call? Will NEVER be back, very very disrespectful

Great pub, really friendly staff 😀

My husband, a friend and I recently popped in the The Queen Victoria for some post xmas drinks. The staff where lovely and one lady was so kind to show my hubby to the disabled bathroom. Drinks where great and bar was lovely. We will be back again soon.

Had a great time here! Loved the quiz night and all the staff were great - we come every week just because it's a good laugh.

Comprehensive pub menu, tasty food and good service. Very nice pint as well.

I haven't eaten their, so no comment. Quite a good pint, served in a traditional pot, 👌. Not to badly priced. If its to succeed it has stay competitive with the gossy hotel over the rd

Excellent, reasonably priced Sunday lunch. We will be returning.

I went to the qv on a busy Friday night. First time in ages I have seen it busy. Bought a drink and at half ten a girl came around to tell us it was last orders. Half ten !!!! I couldn't believe it. A very miserable man behind the bar was clearing the mats away ready to close at 11. Then at 10.45 about 10 people came in to have drinks to be told it was closing..who ever owns this bar has put the wrong people in to look after it. It will be closed again soon as me and my two Friends definitely won't go back.

Better than it used to be! Quite enjoyable now

Very friendly, helpful staff. We had Sunday lunch which was delicious. Excellent service. Only complaint was that we had no room for a desert.

Wow, my first visit to this pub and I was not disappointed. From the moment we walked in the staff were friendly and attentive and treat you like a friend. The prices are good, £5 something for a Pint of fosters and a half of coke. Sunday dinners are incredible-seriously…for £14 you can get a trio of meats with 3 yorkshires and veg (see the photos) the plate was overflowing with food. For £12.50 the beef dinner was as amazing, I couldn’t eat it all. All in all one of the friendliest pubs I’ve been in in a long time and the food is an absolute must to try. Thanks to all the staff working on the afternoon of Sunday 10th September - you are fabulous!!! We will be back 😀😀

Went for food on the opening night of the kitchen. The food was amazing and the service was great! I will definitely be returning

The new Korean menu is an exciting change from the usual "pub grub" Throughly enjoyed the beef in blackbean sauce..extremely tasty..friendly bar staff...& an all round pleasant atmosphere...I will definitely visit again..sooner rather than later..

We decided to try the new Restaurant in the Queen Victoria, upstairs in the pub. It is recently opened and seemingly hasn’t been promoted yet. The staff and service was excellent and although the menu was a bit confusing the person serving was very happy to explain. We found the food to be delicious and reasonably priced, the portions were generous. It’s a shame they haven’t promoted this restaurant yet because it is something different and a very nice change. Hopefully once it catches on it will prove very popular. We will definitely be back.

Had new Asian food wasn't the best not sure If its a starting curve ?

Staff and draft selection was brilliant, however, the same cannot be said for the newly opened pan Asian dining experience. Having gone to the Queen Vic for a pint with my girlfriend and another mate we decided on trying the new menu after ordering drinks, and oh how I wish we hadn't. My stomach is a mess today from what I suspect to be from the popcorn chicken as both myself and my friend ordered the same and we're both ill. My girlfriend is fine as she decided not to try them. The batter was soggy and the texture wasn't great. We also ordered the salt and chilli fries that had a pool of grease at the bottom of the bowl. The beef bao buns also weirdly tasted like tuna.

Popped in for lunch today, didn't realise the menu had changed. It is a Korean menu now. I had the spring roll and my daughter had the Noodles and Kimchi. Both were superb, best Kimchi I've had outside of a Korean dedicated restaurant. Sauces were excellent. Excellent staff, will be back.

James snd dan are amazing staff. They are the reason why we come here. Good lads. Happy snd goid company. Well done lads

Food was excellent, chef Gary apparently back. Staff were very friendly and attentive serving food and drinks. We had the spicy chicken burger + the gammon which were cooked perfectly. Chips were great too. Good atmosphere and busy.

The wine is to expensive and the food was average. Will never go back no wonder the pub was empty. It was always a busy bar not now no atmosphere and expensive

After visiting the queen victoria with friends i can safely say i will never be returning. Rude and obnoxious staff and thats before the management. Visably saw staff drinking with customers at the designated "middle outdoor gathering for favoured customers" and in merry states until tides turn and then intoxicated verbally power trip turn to customers to leave.. made a complaint only to be brushed aside for a drink order being totally wrong. Decor has been done out lovely but sadly the employed staff have very less desirable attitudes.. it is clearly not a way to run a business.. drunk staff and clear clicky public favourites. Will never return better custom & atmosphere/management at the brandling just a stone throw away

We have always had decent food from the Queen Vic under the old landlord and chef. Everything was decent portions and excellent food. Went in to try the new Sunday Lunch menu The tomato soup was cooler than the bread - The bread was good to be honest and warm. The soup was home made and bland. The main course chicken was doused in gravy I guess to hide the burnt Yorkshire pudding. All in all disappointing

Spur of the moment visit for a catch up with friends. Food did not disappoint, staff were friendly snd welcoming. Will certainly be back

Had my husband's 80th birthday party upstairs excellent buffet excellent venue and value could not have asked for more thank you so much donamic we had an amazing time you put on a first class service love June and Alan ❤️ once again thank you ♥️

The on-line menu looked so good and I was really looking forward to it. When we arrived the menu on offer was not at all matching and didn't have on what I wanted. The place did not at all promise or match what the website advertised so unfortunately we left after a drink.

Good friendly pub with good beer choices and outside area

Just wanted to say how impressed I was today with the buffet and service we received for my friend’s post funeral gathering. They moved everything to accommodate a wheelchair user who could not use the stairs and the quality of the buffet was excellent. The...

We come here quite often as a couple or bring the family, always had an excellent time. The staff are so friendly & welcoming and the food is amazing ! Defiantly worth a visit.

Great place to go, staff are friendly with a really good atmosphere

Popped in this evening, and had a great night, the landlord and all his team were so engaging, and the way in which we were looked after was above and beyond. Deffo the best spot in Gosforth for great range of drinks and amazing hospitality....

Booked for Mother's day for the whole family. Absolutely fantastic! The food was brilliant as usual and the service was exceptional. Dom and Faye couldn't have done enough for us. If you haven't been here for Sunday lunch you are definitely missing out. Thanks again

Nice food & busy "high-street" bar, prices above average but ok

Disappointed today. Waited a long time, but we weren’t in a hurry. However, the food was served cold. The staff took the main courses back to reheat them, but started bringing them back in the wrong order. Maybe just a bad day for the team...

Went back to pub for food & quiz night. What a shambles! No control over contestants using their mobile phones. Staff rude and sarcastic. Food luke warm too. Don't bother.

Came in for soup and a cuppa couple days ago and it was fantastic. Little blonde lady served us and her customer service was fantastic 10/10. So today came round and thought I’d take my mam out ended up here again I will just say...

Been four years since last visit, and can say it is 100% better, atmosphere is fantastic and the staff especially Dominic are fab. Dominic did everything possible to accommodate me as I'm disabled, fantastic young men. All staff are very friendly and professional. will be...

First time I ve been in this pub for years and years. Obviously it's all been done out and under new ownership. Nice place to stop off for a few pints. Nice friendly staff good atmosphere and a good choice of drinks. Didn't have any food but what I did see of it and speaking to a couple thst were eating it seems all good. Probably try the food next time I Pop in.

We held a session of our book club in the room above the bar, as it was a bit if a celebration. We ordered some food, talked books and other stuff, and had a really good night. We liked it so much we think we might hold our next session there! Staff were fab.

My twin brother Stephen and I were pub hopping around Gosforth when we chanced upon The Queen Victoria Pub and what a great find. This is a great looking pub, the interior is superb, pubby decor and furnishings, a cool looking serving bar, tv's to...

We hired the function room upstairs at The Queen Vic for my daughter's christening. The room was lovely and provided plenty of space for 50+ guests with its own bar and toilets. The staff could not have been more helpful from when I initially contacted...

Staff vdry friendly and helpful

The Queen Victoria is a fantastic local pub that offer's an excellent range of food and drinks and is one of the many pubs that we visited on a six day city break in Newcastle and Whitley Bay. The Queen Victoria has a well kept...

I had tried the bottomless brunch last week with a friend and was impressed so returned with more friends and the staff (especially Lauren) couldn’t have done more for us. Bottomless Tapas and Prosecco for 2hrs did not fail to put smiles on all of...

Lovely Sunday lunch. We visited today as a group of 6, lots of space, clean and spacious. The menu choices were good, a couple of us had traditional Sunday lunch, others had burgers and lamb kofta, everyone was full afterwards, decent waiting time for food...

My friends had the 3 course meal each. Can honestly say everything was excellent. Chips were amazing and portion sizes were big. Thoroughly recommend this pub to everyone. Staff very friendly.

Hired the function room for a surprise 50th birthday party. Obviously with current government restrictions we were restricted to only 30 guests, 6 guests per table and to stay seated at all times. The venue was very Covid secure, e.g. hand sanitising stations, social distancing, regular surface and touchpoint cleaning, track and trace etc. The function room is beautifully decorated, so much so that you could get away with not having any additional decorations for a specific event. The decor and furnishings have obviously had a lot of care of thought put into them and all of the seats are so comfortable, making you feel right at home! We had a hot and cold buffet served at £10 per head. The staff asked us when we’d like the food to be served. The food had obviously been prepared and cooked fresh as it was absolutely delicious, and there was so much that even though everybody went back for seconds and thirds, we still took home six large trays of leftovers. I would definitely return here to have a proper meal. Our drinks could be ordered either using the W8R app or by placing an order with a member of staff. There was always a staff member around ready to take an order. Drinks were brought up efficiently and presented nicely, in fine glasses. The was hardly any waiting time for drinks despite the fact that the pub was busy! The staff were all so friendly and genuinely couldn’t do enough for us, always asking if everything was ok and if there was anything that they could do. They helped us to set up our decorations at the beginning and helped us to pack everything away at the end. They also ensured that we all had taxis before we left and allowed us to wait inside until they arrived. One member of the team, called Lauren, particularly stood out to us for her fantastic customer service and seemed to be a really lovely person. If I was to ever throw a party again I would not hesitate to book the Queen Vic’s function room as I could not fault the venue or the staff at all!

The service here is horrendous. Wait staff brush pass you being full aware you are in need of a drink or drinks cleared and don’t even flinch. A 2 hour slot with a maximum of 3 drinks because the service is so slow

Called in for a pint,great friendly welcome, good social distancing, nice pint and ordered a takeaway meal which was still red hot and absolutely delicious when I got home, 10/10

We ordered the £30 fish platter including 2 whole cod in light batter that was so large they must have been harpooned :)The calamari rings were hugeThe scampi was over flowingCurry sauce, chips, mushy peas - the bread and butter was to die forIt was all pipping hot

Just taken advantage of the extended #helpout offer. Food was absolutely delicious and no corners cut with the deal. All staff were exceptional but have to shout out to the female who served us and I think may have been a manager. Impeccable 😃

Visitamos este pub como parte del programa "salir a comer para ayudar". Entramos y esperamos a que nos sentaran. Finalmente, después de una breve espera y los arreglos habituales de reuniones informativas de COVID en el pub, nos llevaron arriba y nos llevaron a una hermosa mesa con vista al cruce de caminos en Gosforth. El ambiente era cálido y acogedor. Una dama encantadora nos sirvió casi de inmediato, pedimos nuestras dos pintas de Wainwrights, la única cerveza de barril que tenían, estaba muy bien cuidada y deliciosa. Pedí los langostinos y mi compañero pidió los anillos de calamar desmenuzado panko panko. Ambos estaban deliciosos. Los langostinos no estaban particularmente picantes (aunque se suponía que eran con guindilla), un poco de salsa se había asentado en el fondo, pero como entrante era una porción hermosa con dos buenos triángulos de chapata tostada. Mi compañero recibió tres anillos de calamar, que pensé que parecían malos, incluso como entrante, pero se declaró muy complacido. El calamar era firme sin ser gomoso ni blando y estaba delicioso. Para platos principales pedí la hamburguesa "QV Royale" con ensalada QV y batatas fritas (14). Mi compañero pidió la "hamburguesa What the Cluck" (pollo). El camarero le preguntó si quería patatas fritas, cáscaras de patata o batatas fritas; eligió las patatas fritas, sin darse cuenta de que, sin saberlo, había incurrido en un recargo de 2 por hacerlo. También ordené las papas fritas con la misma oferta que me hicieron. Sin recargo. Normalmente no pedimos hamburguesas, pero no es un menú extenso y otras reseñas calificaron las hamburguesas. La mía venía con una buena porción de micro chips de camote, la olla más pequeña de ensalada de col y una hamburguesa de dos hamburguesas con queso derretido y cubierta con un huevo frito sólido. Las empanadas eran muy carnosas y gruesas y se habían cocinado bien hechas (el servidor no había hecho ninguna solicitud sobre cómo se deseaban). Nos acomodamos para tomar una segunda pinta y mi compañero pidió el pudín de caramelo pegajoso, que venía como un pudín individual, con muy buen sabor a dátiles, con una bola de helado de vainilla. Delicioso, y de los platos que pasan, popular.Críticas constructivas: siempre deben recordar a los clientes que las batatas fritas son un complemento y no presentarlas verbalmente como una opción inclusiva. La porción de ensalada casera necesita cuadruplicarse en tamaño. Creo que un cuarto anillo de calamar se vería menos escaso. La salsa para las gambas debe quedar más pegajosa para que se adhiera realmente a las gambas. Encontré que los meseros, a veces, hablaban bastante bajo, algo difícil de discernir en contra del ruido de fondo del pub. De lo contrario, esta fue una comida de pub por excelencia.La última vez que entré a estas instalaciones fue hace 30 años y descubrí que entonces era un lugar frecuentado por los delincuentes locales. Esta es la primera vez que vuelvo desde entonces, ¡y qué transformación! Sin duda volveremos. La decoración es un poco extraña, pero ¡qué ubicación!

Sunday dinners are to die for. Friendly staff and good selection of drinks available.

Love the decor of this pub. The service is great and the food is great pub grub. Had chicken burger and double burgers with the most delicious chips ever. Such great value too.

Post dinner quiet drink that ended up being a few hours stay! Really good time, good drinks, good service and a good chat with Kerry who was helpful and friendly (or just tolerant!).

First Sunday lunch out. Food was enjoyable and the staff are exemplary in their dealings with customers and awareness and attendance to hygiene in covid circs .

Kerry was very pleasant and helpful. Lovely place for food. Good atmosphere. Would highly recommend 👌

Fue un absoluto placer venir aquí.La comida era excelente y los precios eran igual de impresionantes.Distanciamiento social y pautas estrictamente observadas.El personal fue extremadamente servicial y agradable.Gracias a Josh, Kerry y Chris, que fueron cálidos y acogedores.No lo dudaría y volveré aquí.

Food is great, service is amazing and always guaranteed a nice drink. Staff go out of their was to help. 110% would recommend.

Nice pub but the food was awful. We all had starters and a main meal every one had different starter and meal and they were all poor. Will go back for a drink but NEVER FOR FOOD.

Visite como parte de la "nueva normalidad". ¡Guauu! Arriba y, además de disfrutar de un vino decente y cócteles 2 por 10, la cena fue excelente.Tenía el "no sólo marisco" partícipe y fue genial. Los goujons de bacalao parecían más bien un pescado rebozado y no esperábamos las hojuelas de salmón. Con calamares, gambas al ají, paté de caballa, aros de cebolla, pitta y patatas fritas increíbles (probablemente me he perdido algo) fue genial.Botella de NZ Sav be, los cócteles y el servicio encantador fue una gran experiencia QV.

Omg the food was incredible. We ordered the philly and the smokey and both were amazing. The chips were some of the best thick and crispy and the coleslaw was lush as well. Will 100% order from these again

Missing the pub like crazy. Always liked their food. So good they’re offering this service. Everyone’s meals were lush. And Uber delivered super quick. Thanks!

Had the best night for my 18th Birthday! The room upstairs was transformed to suit the large number of people with tables being rearranged to form a large dance floor. The buffet provided was delicious along with the fabulous service provided by the staff enhancing the lovely atmosphere. Can't recommend this place enough!

Popped in to meet a friend for a quick bite.... staff were quick to serve and very friendly, I tried a pint of Duchers which was very good and had a good bit crack with the barman while I waited. The place has recently undergone a full refurbishment and really looks great for it, seats at the bar or booths were both very comfortable. When my friend arrived we decided to get something to eat, I went for the classic burger which was so good I forgot to take a photo. The menu had a wide range to choose croon with sharing plates too, would highly recommend whether going for a pint or food

My wife and I had a valentines meal and thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The food was really good and reasonably priced. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be going back.

Haven’t eaten here yet but this is one of the nicest bars on the high street now since it’s refurb. The upstairs dining area looks lovely and the Sunday dinners being served to people looked delicious . Nice decor and good atmosphere -often busy -worth remembering you can reserve a table

We had Sunday lunch yesterday, the food was excellent, with large portions. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly and polite. It was also very good value. We will certainly be going back there again.

Had the best party for our daughters 21st! The room, food and service was fabulous. Can’t recommend and thank the team enough!

Only customers having breakfast, 2 poached eggs on toast and it took forever. Smell of toilets too. We've been for evening meal twice before and OK but service too slow. 20 min and stillwaiting

My Wife and I paid this place a visit yesterday to see what it was like after the revamp.As soon as we walked in you were hit with a sewer type smell exactly the same as the one that has plagued the Gosforth over the road for years.There wasn't what you could call a fun atmosphere either, we couldn't wait to finish our drinks and get out.By contrast, the other bars on the High St were a lot livelier.

An excellent atmosphere created by comfortable yet modern aesthetics gives this place an elegant, intimate beauty. The staff are friendly, dedicated and polite, and Kerry on the bar was an absolute delight, making the visit truly special. The food is classy and classic, and the cocktails are wonderful. Fully recommend if you're looking for a regular hangout with a lively feel, delightful staff and good monies worth. Thank you!

After reading several reviews, and seeing such a great presence on social media, we had to give it a go!There was a great vibe and atmosphere as soon as you walked in.Decor is first class as are the friendly team and crackin cocktails! The fact they're dog friendly too is a massive bonus for us.Can't wait to return soon to try their food - the menus we saw looked good and great value for money.See you soon QV!

Amazing food and drink at affordable and reasonable prices. Lovely atmosphere, myself and my boyfriend were looked after throughout by a little red head named Kerry who seemingly went above and beyond for every customer. Would happily and highly recommend this warm and friendly bar to anyone ❤️

After reading several reviews, and seeing such a great presence on social media, we had to give it a go!

We have been in a few times since the refurb and couldnt recommend more, staff are lovely and friendly. Food is fantastic. Will defo be back!

Tried the new QV recently and thought it was superb! Warm welcome, great atmosphere, friendly service. Very impressed with the burgers and my friends loved the cocktails. Will be back with the pooch through the week! Thanks!

Great food, great drink and great staff. Looking forward to comming back. Keep up the hard wirk guys

Quiet new to the area and visited purely upon reading the reviews down here.

Visited here last week with me lad and it was such a nice place, Kerry’s customer service to me and my boyfriend was second to non so helpful and polite. Defo will be letting mates know about the place and will be a returning customer.

Kelly Was lovely. Really looked after me and my 2 dogs! So pleased with another dog friendly place on the high street!

Fantastic staff, 5 star customer service, and happy smiley bar staff, had fish and chips which was gobsmackingly gorgeous.. good value for money, great vibe, fab refurb and can’t wait to go again.. it’s nice to spend your money somewhere that you feel welcome and very comfortable

A massive and expensive refurb.

We visited the Queen Vic on a recent visit to Gosforth. We hadn’t been since it had been refurbed. We were impressed by the decor and the upstairs dining area. Drink prices were reasonable and staff seemed happy enough.

We went here for a meal for my birthday. No atmosphere when we walked in. 2 waitresses at top of the stairs didn’t try and communicate with us. The look was enough to put you off. My husband went to the hatch when another waitress acknowledged him. She then replied we are closed due to cleaning after a busy Christmas. This was the 5th jan.

Amazing place! Lovely team! Very welcoming and attentive! Lovely atmosphere and a great place to go for drinks with family and friends

Went in after reading so many positives and heard it was like a bar in Shoreditch. After they called last orders at 10.50pm the staff almost pushed us out the door. The staff didn’t speak when I spoke to an older older lady and we felt like we were not welcome. Disappointed to say the least.

After not being home for a long time, we decided to visit the new queen vic... Fantastic!! can't fault it, the decor, the team or food! Thanks again for a great night!

My husband and I visited here with our one year old daughter for Sunday lunch and it was lovely. Our daughters food came out first and she thoroughly enjoyed it and it meant we could eat in peace. We both had beef Sunday lunch and the beef was beautiful, so tender. There was plenty of food and we left very full and happy. The service was brilliant with the staff taking time to come and check in with us and see if we needed anything. The decor of the place is gorgeous too and we can’t wait to come back!

Me and my fiancée popped in for a drink or two and ended up staying for food. The staff were very happy and helpful. The food was beautiful especially the burger I had. We will defiantly be going again for a night and will also be trying the breakfast.

This place is not the "go to" pub for in Gosforth. The staff here are a cut above everywhere else and really do make you feel at home, a proper public house ! Friendly, attentive, and they cannot do enought to make you and your dog(s) feel welcome. Some places pretend they are dog friendly, this one really is. The food is great, i've had a breakfast here, which was excellent, and tonigh't fish n chips was very very good. 10/10. Love it.

First time visiting since the refurb and what a difference. Superb atmosphere and amazing food. Will be back again soon. Keep up the good work guys 👏👏👏

Second visit for food both times lovely food and staff, great atmosphere, caters for all ages, great you can take your dogs in but I wouldn't on a busy night.

We recently visited on a Sunday for breakfast and were not disappointed. The food arrived quickly and was hot. Staff were very attentive and accommodating throughout our visit. We will definitely be returning.

Visited with two girl friends recently who I’m sure would agree with me when I say what a LOVELY refurb. Attentive staff, special mention to Kerry who went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our choice in wine. The layout is fab, we went for a table upstairs and the atmosphere was great. Will be visiting again in the near future, looking forward to trying the menu!
