The Victoria Bar & Kitchen in Gateshead

Love it, amazing place to come have fun, and enjoy your self ❤️

A great friendly bar. Food was wonderful too. Edited as the review came out at 4 stars rather than the 5 i'd intended. Apologies.

Had a midweek lunch here and I can honestly say it was the best food I’ve had in ages and I’ve tried several pubs in the area but this beats the lot. The staff are friendly and welcoming, great atmosphere and the service spot on. I went for prawn and crab pasta and it was lush followed by a delicious Crème Brûlée. Definitely going to be going back !!

Had the most delicious hot roast beef sandwich today with chips, gravy and gorgeous salad with lovely dressing for £6.50. Will definitely be back 😋😋

Went for a Sunday dinner, first time I've been and found the place comfortable atmosphere and the food was great.. Staff were great.

The food is worth the price, and I've not been let down after multiple trips here with consistent quality.

- Huge portions. - Fantastic sandwiches. - Reasonable prices. - Lots of good choices on the menu.

Food is usually really good and a good atmosphere

I came here with friends for Sunday dinner and had the most amazing meal with fantastic service. I had the trio of meats, all of which were faultless. The portions were very generous and included everything you would hope to see on a Sunday dinner - all the trimmings, not just some of them. Everything was perfectly cooked and tasted great. Our table had a good view of the kitchen and we could see that Gary the chef runs a very tight ship - he clearly enjoys cooking, takes great pride in his work which is why the result was so good. Thanks again Gary! Special mention also to Emma who served us throughout the afternoon - polite, professional and service with a smile. Tremendous value for money - will definitely be back for more soon!

Loved this. The food, prices, menu and service were all amazing

The food was lovely. Very filling. More dishes that are both Gluten Free and vegetarian would be great. Other than that, very happy with the service atmosphere and food. Thank you.

Great food and drink, really nice atmosphere..all round quality night

Fabulous food and even better service by Ellie the waitress, super attentive and friendly! Great dining atmosphere. Ellie’s a credit to the place!

Booked the 'back room' function room for a family get together for 30 people. The authentic pizzas were amazing and plentiful for all guests and the staff were fantastic with their service! Really couldn't recommend this place enough!

Stopped for a late lunch after visiting the Angel of the North - fantastic quirky pub/restaurant with brilliant decor and atmosphere. Amazing value too - super reasonable prices and tasty food. Gutted we don't live closer, we'd be here every week!

Top pub top food child friendly

Our 1st time visiting (family of 6) & can not compliment enough. Fantastic food, amazing decor & lovely staff, thankyou Ellie & team for a great lunch. We will definitely be back! 😊

Excellent food and drinks, very friendly staff !

Everything was delicious & the staff were very friendly & helpful.

Lovely atmosphere, food, and service.

Very good food and excellent service.

I always fancied going in here. It always looked so cosy and was often very busy, when I drove past. I got the feeling it had been taken over, but can’t be certain, because the bicycle wasn’t outside. Maybe someone had stolen it! On arrival, I asked for a beer shandy. There were mostly lagers on the pumps. The lady behind the bar said ‘they are all beers’ (She obviously, didn’t have a clue, because beer is an ale, not a lager)! I had an IPA shandy. My husband had Stella Artois. My IPA shandy had a funny taste - not clean and even his Stella didn’t taste as nice as the lager in Germany, where we had been recently). I had a chicken and bacon Caesar salad and a burger with bacon and cheese and my husband had chicken Parmo. The chicken and Caesar salad was quite nice. It wasn’t massive, but kind of filled me up. I gave 3/4 of the burger to the dog, the burger had definitely been deep fried, because it had a crispy skin! The breadcrumbs on my husband‘s parmo, looked incredibly orange; (but I don’t suppose this was helped by a Red Leicester cheese that was melted over the top). The skinny fries looked awful - straight out of the freezer and tasteless. For £40, I didn't think it was worth it really. I wouldn’t return.

This was the best sunday roast ive ever had IN MY LIFE!!! Half a herby chicken, delicious thick gravy, mash, roast tatties, all the veggies. The vibe was unreal- fruit and vegetables growing everywhere, music, little coves outside to chill in. Honestly loved everything about this place. I would travel hours to eat here again.

Very nicely appointed pub. Nicely decorated and with outdoor space at the front as well as around the back. Just popped in for a quick drink. It wasn't fully open when I walked in but the landlord very kindly said I could stay and served me a drink. Will definitely pop in again to try something from the menu.

Regular here with friends and family. It's one of the first places we take our guests due to the range of food and drink. The muscles are outstanding and so are the pizzas. The seating options are excellent and you can still order food when not sitting within the restaurant part. Service is generally quick. The regulars can be loud and definitely enjoy themselves, as does every dog which has The Vic on it's walking route. The only thing I want to see change are the toilets**. Not a fan of the 'No Charlie in the toilets' sign on the front of the door (hard one to explain to our 10 year old), and the inside is also pretty dire. The men's resembles a Victorian latrine whilst the women's is full of self-loathing and sexualised graffiti... This doesn't impact the rating, but it's the one thing that could be improved. It does however have a 'don't press this button' button which gives everyone a surprise. **Edit 6.7.24 - toilets have been tidied up and are in much better nick. Visited on Friday and food, service and atmosphere was 5* as usual.

Lovely food, nice relaxed atmosphere for a lunch Looking forward to going back :)

Lovely pub to meet, chat and relax with friends in Low Fell. There's outdoor seating when the weather is fine as well as on-site parking,

Lovely spot. Didn't try the menu but will next time. Great vibe.

Pleasant pub. There is an extensive food menu but we didn't have the time to try anything. Great service at the bar.

Food is fantastic, all freshly prepared and cooked. A little waiting time obviously, but good food comes to those who wait. The Wagyu burger is phenomenal. Service was brilliant. Highly recommended, will be going back to try the other delicacies

Pork was delicious. Crispy crackling. Mmmm

Excellent quality and excellent value. Excellent service.

Fabulous. Lunch was excellent value and gorgeous. Staff were amazing. Highly recommended.

Fab lunch with my daughter and granddaughter. The food was absolutely delicious and Val looked after us really well, as it was my granddaughters 18th birthday Val put a Roman candle in her dessert and sang happy birthday with us. Thankyou so much for making the day special xx

Great Sunday lunch today. Food was top notch. We all had lunch with different meats all were amazing! Dessert was delicious. We were served by Ellie who was a great server and had a good laugh and joke with us while remaining professional. Thanks Ellie we had a great time.

1st time trying here not sure if it was because it was busy bank hol why the food wasn't good but everything was spot on

Very tasty meals tonight and good value too. The rotisserie lamb was excellent, a very good sized portion for me. Just left enough room for pudding! Very pleasant and efficient staff. Thank you

Had a lovely meal here on Saturday evening, great value for money! Our server Ellie was really friendly and helpful!

Not visited here for some time however I doubt I would go back. 6 eating 5 meals delivered, after finally receiving the 6th meal once everyone else had finished there's to find order wasn't correct, ended up leaving. Would not go back

Great food, great prices and lovely staff. Thanks Ellie.

This venue has lost a 8+ years visiting customer for good for shier disraspect. I ordered food whilst at the venue at 11:55am on 7th April 2024. The venue was not busy, I waited 25 minutes with no one noticing I was still waiting for food, the venue filled and the whole venue had been served food before any of mine had arrived, I approached the manager who tried to initially say 10 minutes I waited, that was the forst instance of disrespect don't gaslight the situation and lie, bad managment, I advised him he was completely wrong and it was 25 minutes he agreed, not a single penny was taken off our bill which is so disrespectful regardless of the reson a customer should not have to pay the bill when there is a sheer lack of service, if the staff spent less time watching the football mabey they would have noticed. Such a shame when the chefs are amazing and the food is fantastic.

Excellent bar, food amazing. Highly recommend, definitely go back

The best bar in low fell! Fab atmosphere, great staff! Always love coming here!

Hard to get a table to eat, but was worthy. The amount of food in the plate was good, well cooked and tasty. Liked it and planning to return.

Best Sunday lunch in Gateshead by far ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very good Sunday roast this weekend - pork belly off the rotisserie, all the veg you could hope for, hearty portions, DULUXE chocolate fudge cake, fresh and foaming pints... good times!

Great food, but noisy because footy was on telly!

Fabulous Sunday lunch, lamb was so tender. Very spicy soup to start which seemed an unusual choice to pair with Sunday lunch but fine for me.

Pretty busy no live music on a Sunday supposed to be a dj but didn't see or hear just piped music

Your pizza girl deserves a Pizza award 🍕🍕

We had pizza last night at it was amazing!!!!! Will definitely be back - thank you 🥰🥰

Nice and cozy place with soul atmosphere. The food wasn't something special but it was usual for pub. Service is fine. One thing why I gave 3 stars it's because in gents room the door lock are dangerous with sharp parts and damaged my hand (I hope I have a tetanus shot). I will try to make photo and add review later. It's realy strange that nobody say about it in reviews. So gentlemen will be careful when you visit gents room 😊 I will change rating if the pub improves this point ☝️

Always a great meal and friendly service

Comfy pub, good atmosphere, lovely staff and great food that doesn't pull your eyes out !!!

Great Pub, lovely vibe tasty food, friendly staff

Festive fare last night at The Victoria for our party of 7. Food as usual was amazing! 7 of us so different options of starters, mains and desserts all beautifully presented! Staff were attentive and friendly and as it is the run up to Xmas the bar and restaurant were busy so there was a great atmosphere. We all agreed it was a great start to our Xmas festivities!

Food was beautiful but it was supposed to be for 4. 3 of us . 1 not a big eater. It was just enough. Vegetables not ideal . We don't really like peppers. especially green ones!!

Friendly well run great atmosphere

Good quality food at a reasonable price 👌

It was the first time on a Sunday. We had the roast. It was lovely, good service and friendly staff

If you haven’t tried Sunday lunch in the vic on low fell you are missing out big time we have loads of places over the years but this is the best

I went with friends for a Christmas meal, really nice , tasty hot and plentiful, the 2 course turkey dinner I had was lovely, lots of turkey, veg and all the trimmings, the berry crumble really nice too, staff very friendly and approachable.

Lovely and cosy village pub feel. Good range of alcohol free drinks as well.

Lovely food. Great service and a good choice of drinks.

I love the vic! It's one of my favourite places to eat 😋

Service was excellent, very friendly staff. Lots of tasty gluten free options!

Not even worth one star , don’t bother going near , rude management/owner, definitely not dog friendly they don’t know dogs do bark maybe someone could inform them

Outstanding food at a great price. The staff are attentive and really friendly in a lovely cosy atmosphere. The food came promptly and at the perfect temperature! A really enjoyable evening and looking forward to the next time. Keep up the good work!

Outstanding! We go every Sunday. Book early as it's so amazing. Can't recommend it enough!

Great atmosphere. Doggy friendly. 10/10 food

Proper authentic family pub, with a lovely heated outdoor seating area. Had just a few starters to snack on and a cheeky tequila. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious and very well presented

Fantastic pub with delicious food and great 80s music. Love coming here!

Great place and the Sunday dinners 🍽 are amazing!! Especially the rolled pork!!. Atmosphere is fantastic and the staff are very friendly. Highly recommended!!

Good pub in Lowfell for food and drinks, bit of a challenge getting served with only one side of the bar serving on a Saturday afternoon and loads of people standing at the bar drinking!

Spent my Sunday afternoon at the vic yesterday there was a lovely young lady called grace who served our dinners. She was very helpful and had good recommendations on the desserts. The food was amazing too!!

Our second visit and both times the food and service have been excellent , our waitress Hanna was chatty and friendly and couldn’t help us more Very welcoming pub with great food at a good price highly recommend

Hot beef with gravy is to die for, highly recommend

Felt really comfortable and relaxed food brilliant and service tip top

Have been here a few times over the last couple of years when visiting family, tonight being the latest. As always the food, staff, service, atmosphere and interaction with the staff was fantastic 😊 Literally can’t find any faults. Thank you #TeamVic

Michelle was an absolute star of a server! She made the whole experience 10x better. We enjoyed burgers, pizza, the rotisserie and a lovely creme brûlée, all of which were delicious. Highly recommend!

Amazing food, great decor and atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.

Accommodated our every need without a moments hesitation. Love the atmosphere and the food was brilliant too.

Double stack burger,bacon,smoked apple wood cheese,and Chipotle sauce,skin on Fries and crispy onion garnish,has to be the best tasting burger I've ever had,nice place to eat,really friendly staff and great atmosphere,would highly recommend this place to eat and drink,also really good affordable prices.

An amazing Sunday lunch. You will need to pre-book as it's so popular Waiting staff are very attentive Please don't go or I won't get a table

I was referring to weekend andy i was i sunday .

First time having Sunday lunch here it was really nice plenty vegetables which I love chicken was lovely as well as the beef only thing was the plates could be larger especially having half a chicken on beside the rest 😋

I went today and it was one of the best restaurants I have went to, Vanessa and her daughter looked after me and my family and as an 11 year old child they were so kind. Truly something to be proud of as the restaurant owner you have got yourself a great bunch of staff, and I have a account on tik tok which I filmed a video for my account and it’s an account about food reviews and stuff they even gave me some ice cream with some concept sauce for me to try truly a great restaurant my tik tok is jld_takeaways great drinks to very friendly staff would 100% recommend for you to go Sincerely Daniel ward

Good choice of beers food is excellent have never been disappointed

My daughter held he baby shower here staff were lovely food was amazing atmosphere was lovely

Generous portion, but the food tasted a little bland. Lots of vegetables ! Overall, enjoyable Sunday lunch !

Fantastic food,great seating areas outdoors and indoors great atmosphere

First time, loved it, great food, I had the chicken gyros, superb, delicious! We were served by the lovely Lesley who kept us well watered, all staff super friendly and chatty. My only gripe if anything was the pint price over 5 quid is expensive for North East. We sat at a table by the bar which was nice as easy access to the drink! Lol some seating outside very comfortable. Will be coming back as soon as the wallet is topped is again. 👍😊 Thank you.

Awesome find by chance - first time in the area: arrived late on a Friday - table free, lovely service and great food (great value too!) Thoroughly recommended!

Many a good night here. Tonight was just a passing catch up and a takeaway. Delicious as always.

Brilliant night with great food at a great price. Would totally recommend

The food was good quality and tasty with decent portions. Kitchen was a bit slow as there were so few people in

Visited for the first time on Saturday. First of all the food was gorgeous. I had the belly pork which was beautiful. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The music is good. I've knocked a point off for a couple of reasons most of which are easy fixes. The laches on the women's toilets don't stay shut. One of the girls had to put a sanitary bin in front of the door to try and keep it shut. I closed and locked the door to a different cubicle, did my business and when I looked up the door had unlatched when someone walked into the adjoining stall and closed the door. That was pretty embarrassing as someone could have seen me. Management please fix this because it's only a matter of time until more people will raise this since it's a pretty serious concern. Some of the drinks we got had the wrong ingridients, not a massive deal but both myself and my friend left our drinks half drank because they didn't really taste nice. Limoncello spritz are usually made with lemonade, the ones we got were with soda water. Again not the biggest issue and it might be a mistake due to the staff being overwhelmed at the time since it was busy but maybe if it's really busy allow for an extra member of staff on those days. The pub is very pretty but quite cramped which makes it hard to move around and might be an issue if evacuation is every needed. Might be worth moving some of the chairs around just to allow for more freedom of movement. Overall I would probably come back but not on a Saturday when it's so busy.

Had better sunday lunches i have to say,,,wont be coming back.

Regular for pizza etc but first Sunday lunch here wow absolutely blown away portion size and tasted delicious. I had half chicken other half had beef totally delicious

Always good value and usually generous portion sizes. Service is friendly and generally efficient, although the staff are sometimes overwhelmed at busy times, when the waits can be much longer.
