Went to meet a mate for a couple of pints and Sunday roast. It’s a lovely old pub, and in fairness it’s probably geared up more to the tourists, especially as Paddington Station is just down the road. Beer was fine, bar service was slow. Roast beef dinner was £22, which felt expensive for what it was. Wouldn’t recommend.

I booked The Victoria for a lunch with friends before we attended a fashion show nearby at St John’s Church. It is a lovely old characterful place, we loved the dining areas upstairs. We ate in the theatre room, but took a peak at the library room too, both fabulous and cosy. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Service was great, nothing too much trouble when we a couple of friends wanted to change things up a bit. All of the food was delicious, cooked perfectly and presented beautifully. Everyone in our party of seven, were more than happy. We like the idea of mini puds with a choice of hot drink as sometimes a large dessert is just too much after a starter and a main. They were just perfect. Two of us actually shared a crumble and ice-cream dessert, which was great. Pricing is very reasonable for London, even the wine. On leaving, downstairs was very busy with a mixture of diners and drinkers. There seemed to be a lovely atmosphere. To dine upstairs, you have to use a spiral staircase which is quite steep for anyone with mobility issues. One of our group needed assistance but was fine with help. We would definitely recommend visiting and eating there if you find your self in the area. So glad we chose The Victoria

1월 23일 밤 9시에 예약 후 방문했습니다. 근데 밤 9시는 일본에서 14시간 비행 후 약 5시간이 지난 시간이였기 때문에, 실제로 집에서 일어난지 26시간 정도 지난 시간이였습니다. 그래서 너무 피곤한 나머지 주문한 음식을 다 먹지 못했습니다. 부족한 영어실력으로나마 미안한 마음을 전했지만, 다시 한번 전하려고 합니다. 음식은 지금도 생각 날 정도이고 진짜 좋은 컨디션일때 다시 한번 방문하고 싶습니다. 부디 쉐프에게 전해주셨으면 합니다. 그땐 영어실력도 더 키워서 방문하고 싶습니다.

Nous avions réservé une table pour 2 personnes et avons mangé dans la "Library" au 1er étage. L'espace est très chaleureux et calme avec un décors de salon victorien. La nourriture était très bonne et complètement en accord avec nos attentes d'un bon pub londonien. Nous avons pris 2 fish & chips(le poisson est de l'aiglefin), ils étaient très bien préparés. Le service est très sympathique.

Food was AMAZING!! Stopped for a drink to meet a friend and wasn’t planning on eating here but decided to order some stuff to share. Wasn’t expecting the quality that came out. Had the chicken supreme and was absolutely delicious. Definitely worth more than the price. Some more expensive things on the menu but really well balanced with some cheaper options. Super affordable and really nice traditional setting. Staff really friendly too.

Sunday lunch is okay. Staff not so great. A lot of customers turn up with suitcases. After all it's a 5 min walk from one of the busiest railroad stations on the planet (Paddington), which happens to deliver passengers to one of the busiest airports in the world (LHR). When I asked one of the staff if they had any storage on the ground floor, I got the sarcastic, answer "this is a pub mate". I hauled my bags up a spiral staircase, watched others do same, watched a mother with young child haul their stroller up the same narrow spiral staircase. Most customers had bags. Smart ass "bloke" who was server - not customer focussed.

We visited for dinner and a catchup with friends we hadn't seen for about 10 years. We were seated in one of the upper rooms which could have been a squeeze but turned out to have plenty of room. The food was excellent and arrived as quickly as you would expect, something for everyone including a couple of fussy eaters. The staff looked after us very well.

Visited for Sunday lunch with two friends and my little white dog. The entire team were very friendly, helpful and cheerful. The food was excellent. We were unable to sit upstairs as dogs are not allowed upstairs but the team created a lovely space downstairs for us to enjoy our meal. I can tell you the food tasted as good downstairs as upstairs! We would all highly recommend this spot for a Sunday roast!

Sicuramente l'atmosfera tipica dei pub londinesi premia, anche se i piatti tipici non rispecchiano proprio lo standard qualitativo unitamente alle birre europee che sconsiglio poichè alla spina perdono in sapore. Personale gentile e possibilità di cenare all'esterno e al piano superiore previa prenotazione. 4 stelle.

When ever in the Paddington area I always try to visit The Victoria. To start, I'm a big fan of Fullers beers, but the real reason is the food. It never disappoints. Today I had the slow cooked shin of beef. I've never tried this before but I'm glad I did. The beef had great flavor and the accompanying vegetables were excellent. Will definitely be back.

The Victoria is a perfect mix of fancy dining and cozy pub vibes, making it a top spot for a great meal and good beer. What really stood out, though, was the amazing hospitality. The staff were so attentive and eager to make sure everyone had a great time. They were ready to help with anything and had this genuine excitement about making sure we had a fantastic visit. The best part? It's so close to Paddington Station, making it super convenient for anyone around the area or stopping by before hopping on a train. In short, this pub is a must-visit. With its amazing food, great beer choices, and fantastic hospitality, it's a winner.

Sad to say the management last night were blatantly racist towards my friends. This was confirmed by other guests who told my group that it was racist behaviour on the part of the management. Over £300 was spent in the pub and then they refused to serve my friends citing the excuse that three other customers had complained but when the white people in our group asked who complained they could not answer. Not nice and not acceptable. Response to Chris See how judgemental you are to assume the group were from the high commission. They were clearly not from there. We are not people who click fingers because we respect people. The group are hoteliers who are used to treating their customers with excellent service. You stick to yiur story and I will stick to my version.

A Regency building, ornately decorated and offering an extensive range of beer ales and ciders both from the cask and the keg, along with a great selection of wines and spirits.

This place is quite amazing and exceeded my expectations when I booked a table for 2 the other day. Nice and artsy decorated inside and despite being Halloween week the seasonal additions were not overboard. We got there early at 5.30pm and by 7pm the place was getting very full. Service was efficient and the staff friendly, while the food was excellent pub fare with a twist and well-proportioned. Got the soup of the day as starter, then the supreme chicken with the mushroom sauce and to top it off the apple and blackberry crumble with cononut ice-cream. Everything looked and tasted delicious, just check the photos! Definitely recommended and will be visiting again soon.

Absolutely nothing special about this place. It isn't worth going out of your way if you're not already close. Sunday roast was the chewiest beef ever. I am American and if you've ever had a Banquet Salisbury frozen meal, that's exactly what the gravy is comparable to. Don't even bother with the fish and chips. They taste like nothing, and salt couldn't save it. Browning and toffee desserts are delicious, though.
