The Victoria Inn in South Hams

We came here for dinner and drinks. The service was good however we found the food to be average / especially considering the price. My fish pie was £27 and our total bill was £175 for 2 people including wine!

Went to the Victoria for my birthday meal. It was delicious and tasty. Service was efficient and friendly and even our fofs were allowed. Thank you.

Great menu, not your ordinary pub food. Very tasty and good value. Great pint as well. Service was a bit patchy, plenty of people in the team but only a few being attentive....asked for a bottle of water, it came but with no glasses so had to ask for them. We will be back!

Just had a fantastic meal at Victoria Inn. The staff were so friendly and professional, and the meal was well presented and delicious. Will definitely return - thanks for a great experience.

Great food, great location and lovely decor. Really nice ambience.

We were a group of 7, had main courses and desserts. The BBQ ribs were amazing, loads of meat and nice sticky sauce, served with chips and red slaw. Others had the steak & ale pie, which they would wholeheartedly recommend. The fish pie was very tasty but not a big portion. Service was ok, think they were short staffed.

Ridiculous service. Out for a birthday dinner, so many tables unused yet refused to serve us food. There were people ordering as we were trying to. Avoid at all costs. Go across the road to the Kings Arms, much more welcoming. Until the management changes, I will never recommend the Victorian Inn again.

Great place to have an evening meal. Fantastic staff very friendly welcome and great food

Good beers, good food, great bar, pleasant restaurant, great garden which gets the evening sun in the perfect location overlooking Whitestrand in Salcombe.

We had a fantastic meal at the Victoria Inn last week which was truly fabulous. We both had the Thai red curry which was simply stunning, we followed that up with delicious desserts, I had the Rhubarb and Vanilla cheesecake and my wife had the sticky pudding with ice cream . Full marks to all concerned

Front of house accommodated late change to table which was appreciated , apart from this service was non existent after ordering . We ordered drinks that we never received the waitress asked after we had finished our meals if we still wanted our drinks ! No thank you . We then paid our bill soon which the waitress took our money and walked off talking to another member of staff didn’t inform us what she was doing or if she was getting our change . We had to chase after her down stairs and ask a manager what was going on . Don’t think we will return .

Beautiful pub in a lovely setting, the beer garden is a hidden gem. Ordered the Beer Battered Prawns which were lovely. Maddie and Max were our servers and both were very attentive and friendly. Will definitely return soon

Lovely lunch, excellent service, and beautiful setting. Thank you, Jono 😊

Fantastic meal and lovely staff

Excellent Sunday Roast. Great service, Very nice inside and a lovely big beer garden bathed in sunshine. A perfect afternoon.

We only came in for dinner, so can’t comment on the rooms, however, the food was superb!

Superb food. Great service. Lovely views, really nice place. Definitely recommend. Decor really nice. Staff super friendly.

Really lovely food in great Enviroment. Served by Maddie who was delightful and very helpful. Would definitely come back.

A warm welcome was definitely missing as we were left for some time at the door to book in. Menu was rather uninspiring. The only starter that appealed was scallops, only to be told that they were no longer available. To our surprise, the large party who arrived after us were able to order scallops! Not sure how that works! Main course of fish and chips plus salmon linguine were tasty. Service was, on the whole, good.

Great Food . Assistant Manager was welcoming . We ate early and it was busy that early. The Thai Curry was delicious and authentic in flavours. Marmite new potatoes what a find.

Nice food, good service and reasonably priced quality ales

A busy pub/restaurant on the main street which is clearly popular with the tourists and locals alike. Good quality food reasonably priced food cooked very well rather than trying to be too fancy with ideal portion sizes so you will have room for starters and desert. The place was very busy so their formula clearly works. Already planning another visit when we return to the town in a couple of months

I tried a lot of pubs (because there isn't much else food wise) whilst staying in Salcombe. I'd have to say the Victoria had the best food. Good ales. The manager and assistant manager were very professional. It's not cheap for portion size, so order starter etc too. But quality is very good. Upon second visit had the rabbit stew special. Was perfect. In all honestly the first time I went the food wasn't as good as the second. Second time was perfect. Deffo worth a visit.

Amazing meal and lovely hospitality from Maddie. Thanks so much for a lovely dinner!

Lovely lunch, amazing environment, very polite staff. Food was well priced and excellently cooked and presented. Quick service. A good range of beers on tap. I enjoyed the Cornish bitter, the harbour IPA beer and the Californian pale ale.

The food was very delicious and the treatment by the staff has been fantastic. The ribs were very good. Thank you!

Excellent Sunday lunch. Really friendly staff, delicious food.

Best service from our waitress Max and the best food .

We had a great waitress called Max here, she was very attentive when we went outside she let us know when our food was ready, and she was very friendly and happy to help! The food was really nice, the sticky toffee pudding was amazing

A great pub with good beer, friendly service and excellent food.

Fantastic pub, not been here for years since it's revamp but definitely worth a visit.

Had a nice evening with friends here, the food is worth it

Brilliant little pub i highly recommend.

We didn’t stay here but have eaten here a number of times,unfortunately on this occasion the food was disappointing

We booked a Sunday roast for 14 family members and all I can say was well done to the amazing server who took our orders and attended to our requests. He was a very helpful young man. We all got our food in a very timely manner and the food was fabulous too. To get 14 meals out at once is no mean feat! Nothing was too much trouble and they accepted with a smile our young grandchildren being a little "excited" at times. So refreshing to go somewhere nice with the children that didn't make us feel like we had to eat and leave as quickly as possible. All the mums got a small bottle of Gin and a Tonic for a mothers day treat. How lovely was that? Fabulous 👌

Table of 9 adults and 5 children on Sunday 30th. We were served by a very helpful colleague that kept us all happy with food and drinks. We appreciate that was a huge challenge. All the adults had roast dinner. Thank you kitchen staff everything tasted really great and the children ate everything and helped us adults out with eating left over veg. It was a lovely touch to give all the mums a G&T to drink or take away. Thank you to all the staff.

Excellent experience as always. Very friendly staff, Will took great care of us. 100% recommend

Maddie was such an incredible waitress. She was so patient, informative and just 10/10 service. Food was excellent too. Highly recommend!

Claudia was very helpful and considerate… very happy with our evening here.

Booked in for a Sunday Roast after a long hike. Good portions / loved the gravy. Celeriac / Truffle soup was off the charts good. Cool decor too!

We had a wonderful experience here, highly recommended! Wonderful pub and lovely atmosphere. The food was amazing so we went back the next day. Staff were wonderful, friendly and welcoming with great service. A special mention must go to Johno who really looked after us, finding somewhere for us to watch Cheltenham races and let us sit and enjoy the whole experience for hours with a wonderful view and great wine! Thank you team, we will most definitely be back!

Really great new menu. Lovely as always.

We ate here in the evening but were staying elsewhere. Good food and atmospheric interior.

Food amazing grate deco Brilliant facilities Erin was our waiter was fabulous

Had a lovely meal here. Plenty of choice. Friendly and helpful staff.

Had the best lunch at the Victoria today. The food was outstanding so was the service, definitely recommended it .

Great place to eat, lovely food, dog friendly, made my birthday special by going above board to accomodate my request. Thank you

Went for drinks Friday really nice atmosphere. My friends kept saying the quality of beer was outstanding. Came back for food on Saturday and the service was amazing so was the food. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back.

So glad we found this place! The crab fondue was delicious. Staff were really friendly and knew the whole drinks menu off by heart which was impressive. Upstairs seating had a lovely view. Would come again if in Salcombe.

Thank you to all team at the Victoria!! Couldn’t fault it. There was something for everyone (even my picky nephew) A special thanks to the girls that looked after us on the floor, their knowledge and care for us was like no other. We will definitely be back in Salcombe, and we will definitely return to The Victoria!!!

It was a Saturday but it did not look that busy due to the reservations being for two hour slots. However we waited 20 mins or more for our drinks to be brought to the table having had to ask. Then we asked for our order to be taken having sat for 45 mins since arrival. When you are charging £30 for a steak and £20 for fish and chips the service should be top notch. However, the food, when it came was delicious. Salmon and tomatoe linguine was lovely as was my husband fish and chips. The staff did apologies for the delays that occurred and we did enjoy our meals.

Wow. From start to finish our time at the Victoria was nothing but amazing. Katie welcomed us with the biggest smile and Claudia looked after us for the evening, both I couldn't fault at all, as well as the food which was delicious. Thank you all for such a memorable evening - We will be back

came here with my boyfriend for his 21st birthday. the food was exceptional and our server will was so lovely!! will definitely be coming back

Excellent! The lobster butter fries are the best fries I’ve ever had! We all enjoyed a brilliant meal. Would highly recommend

A very nice meal and a much higher standard than pub Fayre. The fish and chips was super fresh but the Crab Fondue starter stole the show.

Gotta say it, a great pub in a great location, serving great food with great staff. Another super St Austell Brewery pub! Not sure if The Haveners in Fowey has the better view or not!

Excellent Sunday roast great friendly service. Went back 2days later and found the food and service was excellent. Can’t wait to go back next time in Salcombe.

Great food, great service and some shanty singers too! Brilliant!!

Extensive gf menu and a lovely warm fire in winter - very cosy pub. Fish and chips (gf) were decent. £22 Sunday roast was very disappointing, as mentioned to the staff. Two small, thin, overcooked pieces of beef - not pink as per menu. Everything else microwaved, pieces of cling film still on dishes - potatos and Yorkshire puddings not fresh out the oven.

Cozy pub with local beers on tap.

Late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Lovely decor in the upstairs dinning room. Lovely food and good service. I can recommend the monk fish and king prawn fish pie

Great atmosphere, fantastic food!! Great service at a reasonable price... highly recommend a visit

Walked in and showed a good table. Fish and chips for 3 was excellent. Very crispy batter. A very good experience.

Brilliant food, amazing service special mention to our waitress (blonde curly hair) who was exceptionally helpful and lovely

Inviting place with room for people to have a drink without eating, which is great to see. We shared the crab fondue and salt/pepper squid, followed by fish pie and beef burger. I asked for the bread and butter pudding, whilst mentioning to the waitress that I find it difficult to get puddings served with custard, no worries she said and brought creme anglaise. Nothing at all to complain about and all to recommend.

What a fabulous Christamas day good food and drinks together with excellent service thank you so much for opening today and Merry Christmas to all the staff

A really good value for money Sunday Roast.

Central location, friendly staff, good food

Lovely feel to the place. Staff very attentive polite and helpful. Food excellent. Visited twice in the week we were on holiday (Nov 24) hopefully back next summer.

Relaxed Atmosphere: The pub is known for its relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, with real log fires and cozy nooks. Scenic Location: Located on Fore Street, it's just a few minutes from the banks of the Salcombe Estuary, offering beautiful views. Dog-Friendly: Dogs are very welcome, and there's an extensive garden with a children's play area. Great Food: The restaurant serves British cuisine with vegetarian, dairy-free, and vegan options available. Dishes like the crab linguine and fish of the day have received praise. High Ratings: The Victoria Inn has a high rating on platforms like TripAdvisor, with many visitors appreciating the overall experience

Had a lovely 60th birthday meal. Good food selection and was very tasty. Great customer service frim waitress.

Excellent service for a large group of 13. Very good food and a good selection of drinks.

We stopped here for an evening meal before seeing the Field of Light exhibit and had a lovely meal. The service and food options were very good and we were made to feel welcome,

We had our last holiday dinner here, the service was attentive and fast, my Ribs were perfectly cooked and the atmosphere is cozy, I recommend it and I will return!

The Victoria Inn is a real treasure. Great Location and amazing service. We felt very welcome by Amy, the friendly staff and cosy inviting atmosphere. The food was fantastic. They clearly care about the the quality here, and it shows in every bite. It's also family friendly spot with a welcoming vibe that made us feel right at home.

Food was excellent 👌 attentive staff. We didn't have to wait to be served. Comfortable surroundings. A very enjoyable evening. Will definitely be back.

A must visit in Salcombe. Beer garden is amazing.

We only went in the pub downstairs. What is really cosy and lovely. We had great chips and drinks

Stepped out of the rain for a late lunch and we were seated immediately at a large table in a quiet area. There was plenty of choice for children and the portions were a good size for our 5, 8 and 10 year old with the dessert. I ate from the set menu and was very impressed with the quality and value, and the options. The wine was nice and the service was excellent, its also dog friendly. Would definitely revisit, best meal I've had in a pub in Salcombe and we have visited a few.

We had Sunday lunch here, 5 adults, 2 kids and a dog. One of my daughters has autism and is quite a fussy eater but they accommodated her request really well (it was an off-menu request). Food was delicious, atmosphere was great and nobody minded when our labrador made a fuss because she got nervous.

Wine not opened at the table, which is bad practice. It's not exactly expensive wine but it was still best part of £50. Mussels were poor, small and dried up and not good value, and I had to ask for bread. The pasta was meant to have voloutee but was dry. It was relatively nice but as said dry. I thought it was all a bit average. Wife banana blossom fish was good.

Nice atmosphere, but the food was fairly mixed. The starters took a very long time to come. The hummus was nice but the moules starter portion was so tiny it worked out at £1 a mussel. They were very small mussels and exceptionally gritty. The vegan fish and chips was nice, the veloute tagliatelle was ok but weirdly seemed to lack a veloute. We bought a £45 bottle and it was brought to the table already open, which isn't great practice. Nothing mega wrong, but just a bit under par considering the price.

Victoria Inn is amazing place in Salcombe. Food and Drinks services are nice and polite and Tilly was brilliant. Thank you for a great meal

Great food and service in the upstairs restaurant.

Can't comment on the rooms as not used. Lovely old pub, great selection of wine, food and beer.

Excellent decor, amazing customer service and good portion sizes. Overall lovely experience

Lovely food, great ambience in the upstairs restaurant. Excellent service. Venison carpaccio a little frugal perhaps.

First Meal in Salcombe for My Birthday Weekend ... didn't get any Reviews before Eating in here ..as was Hoping for the Best !! Sadly was Totally Dissatisfied & Disappointed.. (Although Waitress Service was Good ).. Ordered the Steak..@ that Price Price .. Expected the BEST ... but My Partners Came out Raw ...( And had to send Back ) Mine was Just average... and Saw as I was actually eating the Steak....it was Also Raw... But couldn't be bothered to Send back ..as the Experience of the Night Deteriorated...& Ended up leaving early... Such a Shame...... A Below Average Meal.. Overpriced .... And Too Be Honest have Enjoyed steak Meals in Our local Weather'spoons @ half the Price..!!

We recently visited the Victoria for Sunday lunch. We have been regular visitors to Salcombe since the 1990s and have seen the pub go through many changes over the years, but always maintaining a great atmosphere and excellent food. On arrival (in teeming rain!!) we were welcomed and offered a place at the bar, as we were early and our table was not quite ready. Staff were friendly and polite, and the fire was giving off some welcome heat to dry our coats. Imagine our disappointment then, when our Sunday lunch was delivered - my wife's meal had only one small slice of beef and my chicken was not delivered as described on the menu - only one small chicken breast as opposed to a mix of dark and light meat. Admittedly very tasty, but a significantly smaller portion than on previous visits and a price which did not reflect what was brought out from the kitchen. I raised this with the server, to be told that the chicken was mis-described on the menu, but that nothing could be done. We then ordered the crumble for dessert, which was advertised with Creme Anglaise and ice cream. The dessert arrived without the ice cream and only a small helping of the CA, which left it very dry - I again raised this with the server and was told that the kitchen was working with "the wrong data sheet" for the meal and some ice cream was provided. In fairness, our bill was discounted by the value of the desserts, we would have much preferred to have what we had ordered delivered correctly in the first place. It is such a shame that this pub has fallen into the trap of being a "brewery pub" with menus set and managed by Head Office rather than being run as it was in previous years. Given the choice of several other, much better pubs in the village, sadly we are very unlikely to visit again. Sorry Victoria Arms - you emailed me to ask me to complete a survey, so I have provided what I feel to be a fair reflection on our visit.

Perfect pub for a drink or meal. Great location in the heart of Salcombe and welcoming staff. We pre-booked for an evening meal and weren't disappointed. The food was amazing and I highly recommend the seafood casserole. Enjoy!

We had a warm welcome and even with our dog we were made to feel very comfortable. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the menu a vast improvement on a few years ago after the pub first changed hands. It felt personal and inviting, intimate and cosy with a great menu to choose from. The food was great, really delicious, and we're really looking forward to visiting again next time we're in Salcombe. Thank you for a wonderful evening last week!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at the Victoria Inn. The Sunday roast was FANTASTIC! It was tipping it down outside, so we hunkered down in the bar. The perfect spot to relax, Katie and the whole team made us feel so welcome. Couldn’t recommend here enough.

Absolutely terrible service and food. We had the Sunday roast and it came out cold with microwaved soggy veg and Bisto gravy. The waitress was slow and waited a minimum 30mins before table water arrived.

Had a roast dinner here, Salcombe prices in full effect it wasn't worth £21 for the beef, have had far better not far away for far less but that's the price for the car park view I guess, staff were great though and the atmosphere of the pub itself was good drinks were served with a smile and chat.

Great service, lovely food. Thank you for a good experience. Our service from tilly was excellent.

Ate a meal here, only. Though they were very busy, staff remained cheerful under pressure.

We walked in at the bustling and characterful Victoria Inn at 6.30pm and were very pleased to get a table for two - half an hour later it was completely full. Seated and served by Katie who was just great, never too busy to ask how everything was. I had catch of the day which was a plaice - it is a long time since I had such a fresh and beautifully cooked fish. Merlot and alcohol free G+T both lovely too. Finished with a nice dessert. Reasonable price too - could not have been better. Highly recommended.

The food and service was brilliant! We were served by Alice who was a lovey and attentive server.

We had a lovely experience and great food. Thank Alice our wonderful waitress

Great food and drinks and great service from Alice 😃
