Our caravan is on a local campsite and the Victoria Hotel was recommended to us for their Sunday dinners. I rang up and ordered 1 lamb & 1 beef. to takeaway. They didn’t disappoint, they were absolutely gorgeous with very generous portions and very reasonably priced to. The owner and the staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. I would definitely recommend a visit here.

Visited this pub for dinner recently. It was clear that they take coronavirus measures seriously so it felt very “Covid secure”. Good choice on the menu and a big portion size. I had the Cumberland sausage and then the hot chocolate fudge cake which was very nice. Wouldn’t hesitate to return!

Booked this venue on a whim when visiting the area. Very traditional pub feel. Gentleman who served me was amazingly attentive and polite, nothing was too much trouble.

We have just enjoyed a two course meal at the Victoria & it was simply lovely. Real hearty pub food, running a slightly reduced menu than advertised on the website, due to COVID, but still plenty to choose from. Highly recommend the lasagna, chicken tikka curry for mains & the rice pudding & cheesecake for dessert. Gordon was so welcoming of us & our pooch, seating us at a table where our German Shepherd could stretch out. The locals were also lovely & happy to have a little chat. Excellent COVID measures in place, felt safe and well distanced from other guests. You guys are doing a cracking job! Please do not be put off by the exterior of the this venue, there is a hidden gem inside! Thanks again, for making the 1st night of our holiday so relaxing 👍👍

We went to the Victoria Hotel during our visit to Drigg. A quaint local place to drink and eat with very reasonably priced drinks + food. The portions sizes are large so if you like your food - I highly reccomend.The service by the landlord was great and he went out of his way to help us out. The menu states get food at the bar but we got table service which was a nice added bonus.If you like Drigg, you'll like The Victoria.

Can recommend the Vic very highly. It is quite close to where we live so it is great being able to walk. Food is excellent and they have the added bonus of small portions included in the menu. Even they are almost more than you can eat. Great selection on their blackboard and we can heartily recommend. Brother came over for the day last Saturday and wouldn't dream of missing lunch at the Vic. The quality of food, the staff, everything you could wish for.

Our train had run very late and we needed to get off and reverse our journey if we were to get home that day. We had 25 mins before our next train arrived. We'd had no lunch as there was nothing available on the train. The train conductor told us that we could get something at either the pub or the coffee shop in the station. The coffee shop was closed for the week (family emergency?) but the pub was open. We went in and before we could order, the landlord told us they were closing. It was 2.10 pm. We said we only wanted something basic - maybe coffee and some crisps that we'd take out. He grunted and made as if to go behind the bar and serve us, but instead he put the lights out. The other customers drank up and left. We followed. I'd rate this place inhospitable and unhelpful.

My wife and I were to stay at Shepherds View Campsite but had problems with our caravan, instead we recommended to book in at The Victoria in Drigg just up the road.When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised by this old English pub/ hotel. We were welcomed in by Gordon the landlord, who is by the way a really friendly, polite and likeable guy. We were shown to our room 'Leopold', it was really roomy with ensuite, tv, tea and coffee making facilities. Very comfy and cosey.We booked a table of 8 for our family evening meal, wow, were we not expecting that! The portions are huge and the flavours excellent, the staff were amazing too.The Vic has a selection of ales or beer, lovely!Gordon and staff know how to look after their guests, Thanks for a lovely stay, keep it up and see you again soon.

The bar & restaurant are a little ... quaint. A real fire was in near the bar area which was great but it did mean that the heating wasn't turned on further into the restaurant. This meant that some other areas were a touch cold. The temperature is probably an influence on the black mould which was growing in the corners of the wall from the carpet upwards. The food was perfectly edible, though the fish was from the freezer unfortunately.

Had one of the best sweet and sour chicken meals I've had for a long time the other evening. We had been warned about the portion sizes and you do have a choice of large or small. Don't be fooled the small portion is still really generous. Fish and chips was excellent as was the steak and ale pie. If I had one criticism it was that the steak and ale pie came drowned in gravy which soaked into the lovely pastry. Will ask for it on the side next time. Also highly recommend the iced Bailey's cheesecake it was divine. A real find and we will certainly be back. Prices were excellent and my husband gave top marks to his pint of Guinness.

We camped up the road at Shepherds View and the owner there recommended the "Queen Vic".The staff are very accommodating - we arrived on the off chance and Gordon soon found us a table outside - though he offered us one inside we thought better of it due to our dog! Gordon had the table moved into the sun for us and was very helpful.The food was quick to arrive, large (but not too large) portions, great quality, very tasty and well priced. Though none of us are veggies I did notice 4 veggie main courses on offer which I thought was very good. As for price: 4 mains and a couple of drinks each should set you back about £60.We liked it so much we went back on our last night in the area, and again it was superb.The only bad thing is that we didn't find the "Queen Vic" until half way through our stay!

The Victoria is my local pub. I live within walking distance. The bar is a haven for locals and visitors alike. The food is absolutely excellent (and serves smaller portions for those who prefer it). Full of Queen Victoria memorabilia. Great roaring open fire (when needed). Accommodation is available, but be warned, they usually fill up fairly quickly. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly. It is situation right next to Drigg Railway station, next station along is Ravenglass where you can catch the Ratty miniature train up the valley to Eskdale and a host of walks, or cycle ways. One mile from the beach, which has unspoiled dunes and views of the Isle of Man.

Situated very conveniently next door to the Cumbria West Coast railway station of Drigg, and within easy distance of both coastline and the fells, the 'Vic' is a family run hotel with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Gordon keeps a range of cask ales on the bar, all in good condition. There is a good menu with plenty of choice of tasty meals sourced locally where possible, and all the freshly cooked and appetising meals or snacks are presented with attention and a friendly smile. Sensibly, a menu of 'small meals' is available as well as a children being welcome.After a fresh air day out, whether it be on the beach among sand dunes and exploring the of Lakeland's finest mountains and valleys, the 'Vic' is just the place to come back to, with real fire in winter, and delights to enjoy whatever the season.

We ate here during a short holiday in N.W. Cumbria and were pleasantly surprised.Its right by the railway line - dont worry!! - about two trains a day!!!!- and is not that prepossessing from the outside. Good sized car park.Once inside, in February anyway, a lovely REAL fire awaits whilst you get your food and drink organised. The Licensees are very pleasant and we got our drinks quickly. Pub food was varied and comprehensive with some nice Specials - like Sweet and Sour Chicken, which was delicious. One thing we all agreed on - the HAND MADE AND COOKED chips (done the old fashioned way with a knife) were wonderful. Decent salads accompanied the Mains and I think it fair to say that there was a LOT of food. We think that this a little gem tucked away in the back ofa small village BUT just about everyone we spoke to afterwards knew ofit, so it must be doing summat right! lol!!Very pleased.

Took some relatives to The Vic. for an evening meal this week. All four of us were throughly delighted with the quality of the food and the incredibly reasonable prices. The welcome was lovely and the service attentive and pleasant. The interior is basic but clean but with a nice open fireplace where else would I go for a winter supper?...hardly anywhere else! p.s. The Ale is good too!Well done!

After walking on the beach at Drigg we called at The Victoria last Sunday afternoon , it was very busy but the friendly landlord found us a table. We all had Sunday Lunch but plenty of other choices where available on the menu, we forced ourselves to have pud which were all homemade and very good.We returned midweek for a teatime meal, we chose steak, battered cod and the chicken Balti all of which were very well cooked and served by friendly efficient staff, the Sticky Toffee Pudding was especially good!!

We were going to go to another restaurant but after advise from a friend we went to the Vic. We found he staff friendly and attentive when we arrived, we had my young daughter and niece with us and they made sure we had enough seating for them. There was a large amount of food on the menu as well as some good specials. We had elderly relatives with us who didn't want to eat a lot. There were also small portions available for them on the menu. Highly recommend this place it is in each reach of the train station and the beach. Great for a holiday or local visit.

The food is good and is excellent value for money.I am a pensioner so not having the larger appetite I had when I was younger,the choice of having the smaller meals is ideal for me.The staff are all so willing to please.

Good food at a reasonable price - worth a detour off the A595 as there is not much else in this area.The place is a bit lacking in atmosphere for a country pub but, otherwise, it was fine.

We go here quite often for the quiz night.We usually go for a meal and then stay for the quiz.The food is traditional 'pub grub'.and plenty of it.The pie is amazing as are the fish & chips.Staff are friendly and welcoming. we only tend to go on a quiz night, and the atmosphere is always great.

It's hard to find a decent pub with reasonably affordable evening meals on offer in the Western Lake District all year around - but here is one for you to try. Although essentially a local pub in a quiet, non-touristy village (Drigg), a warm welcome is offered to visitors. The food is down to earth pub grub rather than anything particularly exotic or adventurous but if you're looking for a dependable, clean, warm option away from the usual, more expensive tourist haunts in the Western Lakes, this is certainly worth trying out.

The Vic is near the little railway station with its attractive flower tubs and a short drive away from a glorious sandy beach. There's nothing more liberating than taking a brisk walk along the shore and coming back for a home cooked meal at the local pub. It may take a liitle time for your meal to arrive but food is cooked to order and the cod and chips is to die for. A local butcher supplies the Cumberland sausage and tender fillet steaks. For self caterers it is possible to phone ahead and pick up fish and chips in the early evening, have a pint while you're waitng for your order.A real English pub, not pretentious but good value with a warm welcome.

You might be slightly put off by the exterior of this building- just perhaps a bit tired looking - but please go in (sometimes it is necessary to book) and inside you will be greeted by friendly staff in a lovely warm pub atmosphere - if you wish to dine, have a look at the specials board - as well as the main menu board - order at the bar and go and sit at your table. If you feel the wait a little long - be patient, all food is cooked to order and you will NOT be disappointed - the plates are hot, the food is excellent quality and well cooked - and the food keeps on coming, dishes of vegetables, dishes of chips and whatever else might be included in your order- just one thing - go in with a good healthy appetite- otherwise you will either need a doggy bag or have to do the awful thing and leave food -which is not worth doing, that would be a waste of your money and good food. The ginger sponge pudding and custard is just the best thing ever- go on treat yourselves. We are lucky to live close to this venue - so a very handy place to visit - and we do! One more thing - it is dog friendly as well.

Does the boss ever smile? Food was okay but the boss rushing around with a face like thunder. Doesn't matter how busy you are but doesn't take much to smile
