The Victoria Restaurant in Isle of Anglesey

Just a stunning building inside and out. We only visited for a drink but on looking inside we could well end up staying here in the future

Great views especially on a sunny day

Called in for meals, parents were very happy with their meals.but my meal was steak and ale pie,looked very nice but never again.it was a case of hunt for the meat and gravy was very very thick , pastry was hard on top and thick and wet underneath! perhaps I should have complained at time but they couldn't change pie!!

One of the most memorable parts of our stay in Anglesey was dining at The Victoria. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by its prime location, offering breathtaking views and a beautifully kept garden overlooking the river. The ambiance inside is just as charming—warm, welcoming, and full of character. I had my very first Sunday Roast here, and it was nothing short of fantastic. The food was perfectly cooked, bursting with flavour, and clearly made with care. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home, even during the busier hours—which, given their great reputation, is completely understandable. We loved it so much we returned for a second visit. This time, I tried my very first steak! While I’m not usually a big red meat eater, it was still a wonderful experience that added to the richness of our visit. The Victoria combines everything you could want from a great dining experience—delicious food, outstanding service, a cozy and stylish interior, and that unbeatable view. It truly is a place not to miss when in Anglesey. Highly recommended!

My stay at the Victoria far exceeded my expectations. I stayed for a short business trip (2 nights) and was really impressed with both the rooms and food. The room had lovely decor, a comfy bed, a balcony and a strong shower. You’re also able to get fresh milk on request in a little milk jug for the twinings tea, Welsh coffee and nice biscuits provided. It’s honestly the little things like this which really gives it the edge. The food is also fantastic and all the waiting staff are super friendly and accommodating. I had the Sunday roast as I travelled up before the start of the week. This roast is now in my top 3 list! The breakfast is also fantastic, you receive a small continental selection + a la carte with dishes such as pancakes, avocado toast and full breakfasts! Amazing! I genuinely can’t recommend this place enough.

Stunning location, delicious menu, staff friendly and attentive. Will return and highly recommend.

Visited for a simple family breakfast — party of four — and somehow it turned into an exercise in patience. First, we were bossed around about where we could and couldn't sit, despite the giant empty backyard with maybe two other tables occupied. Then came the real highlight: after successfully ordering one mocha, we were told — with a straight face — that they "don't have mocha" when we asked for a second. Magic! It must have vanished into thin air after the first cup. To top it off, even though we were sitting indoors, table service was declined. Apparently basic courtesy is optional here. Honestly, Starbucks could teach them a few things about hospitality... and consistency. Save your time, money, and sanity.

What a great find. This impressive looking hotel is also impressive inside. My husband and I had a lovely spacious room, great meals at the restaurant by friendly staff who were more than happy to help. Check in/ out was easy. There was plenty of parking spaces. The hotel had a friendly relaxed vibe and was clean and fresh with tasteful decor. The General Manger was exceptional on service. The hotel was in a perfect location to visit the menaii bridge ( walking) or touring Angelsey by vehicle. Would definitely visit again.

Over looking the Meni straights this hotel has very nice outside seating on the terrace and a cosy inside perfect for evening drinks, Highly recommend

I really like this hotel for when we visit Anglesey for long weekends. The service is very friendly, the location is perfect for restaurants and boating and the rooms are newly renovated and comfortable. I think it is a great little place for a weekend away. If you get a room on the water side, the view is great too. Breakfast is very nice and reasonably priced.

Gorgeous views over the Menai Straits

Lovely place lovely helpful staff in a super setting.

The service and the restaurant itself was excellent but some of the food was very poor quality e.g. reheated and old. We could only get a table at quarter to 4 but the place was completely empty!

Lovely hotel that we found while in our holidays. Was having refurbishment dome while there and was told this before being seated. Staff were lovely and pleasant. Food was amazing and very reasonable. The view from the outside tables where you could sit were lovely.

We had a great lunch here, good service with excellent views 👌

Food was fantastic as well as the service and the views are the icing on the cake.

Third time we have visited and every time we have sat outside in the sunshine. Lovely location.

Location is really nice, great view of the Menai Straits. But, there is no justification for the price of the drinks. 2 pints and a packet of crisps, £15! The food is overpriced too.

We love the Vic. Staff are amazing! Nothing too much trouble. We regularly come here with family for food and drinks.

Pleasantly surprised at the level of the pub and room. Staff were excellent and very friendly and helpful. We ate in the pub on the first night and although the team were busy with a surprise 50 people turning up for a drink were we made to feel welcome and cared for just as much. Our room was lovely, nice layout and lovely touches like, fresh milk from the bar. Very clean and comfortable.

We stayed here for a night, all the staff were welcoming and very pleasant. Building and interior beautiful throughout. Room was fabulous cannot fault it. We had evening meal and breakfast both had vegan choices and both were amazing. Only small issue we had was beer on the expensive side and would have liked a carafe of coffee with breakfast instead of a cup. Will be returning soon.

Very nice place to stay, friendly staff, not too good on food, though could improve 😀

Awesome place for food and drinks

We stayed for 3 nights over new year, and it was just superb. Lovely hotel, nice room and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Its the nicest hotel I have stayed at for a long time.

Always a pleasure to attend with a pleasant relaxed atmosphere. Attentive staff, particularly Nathan.

We popped in for something to eat an unfortunately the food wasn’t that good. My wife ordered the seafood trio which consisted of 2 over cooked prawns, a tiny bit of halibut and some ruined salmon which came with sprouts which must have been left over from Christmas dinners as they were rank! For £22 not good, we complained and were offered an alternative, staff were brilliant, but weren’t offered a refund on the price difference and the replacement wasn’t good. In two minds about going back if we do it will be for drinks only, such a shame as we have enjoyed food there before.

After 2 days of storms and no electricity we went to the Victoria for Sunday lunch, the lady who looked after us was so kind giving us a table by radiator and charging my mobile. The food was fantastic will most definitely be back....thanks to everyone at the Victoria

Fantastic festive meal. Excellent service from Charlene and her colleagues.

As I'm not a local, I was driving and decided to stop. What a lovely pub, service, beer well kept, clean and well priced food. If I'm that way again, I think I'll stay the night.

We visited the hotel to eat in the restaurant. The pub was busy on a Friday night at the end of October. Really nice atmosphere. Bar service was really good, and each member of staff was excellent. We had some lovely food, my partner had the steak pie and I went for the burger. We had a sticky toffee pudding too. All in all a great visit whilst staying in Menai.

Beautiful location and amazing food

Had a very pleasant stay at The Victoria. Rooms were fabulous with crisp clean bedding and immaculate. Breakfast was fabulous. Just what you need when you’re going out exploring. The Hotel is of the very best decor. All welcoming and sparkly clean. Bar was impressive and our evening meal just the best. Will definitely come back. Staff were really attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. Well done

Had a few drinks and a lovely pie here yesterday whilst visiting from Manchester. The bar area and restaurant are very nicely decorated. The beer and wine selection is very impressive. We ordered the Steak and Ale pie and the burger..both were lovely. There were loads of staff on and the service was excellent. Well worth a visit. 5*

Stunning backdrop wonderful view's. Great food and service 👌

Beautiful pub and location. Food is ok. I think I got unlucky on the steak pie (3 small bits of steak in it), mainly gravy. Drinks were nice, staff were friendly!

They have done a great job on the renovation and transformed the hotel. Much nicer place to enjoy a meal and a drink. Slightly disappointed with the price of the beers/ales, most of them were over £6 and this is the highest you will pay in Menai outside of a restaurant. Is it really necessary to charge this much? Otherwise a very pleasant experience.

Lovely, friendly hotel. Ideally situated on Anglesey, close to the Menai Bridge

Excellent setting overlooking the menai straits. Dog friendly, varied menu, good food and pleasant service.

Great place for a night’s stay - lovely friendly staff, good food and a pleasant room.

Excellent food and staff. Thank you.

Really nice place. 7 of us came here for an early dinner and the service was first class. The interior is extremely nice and the food was fantastic. Dog friendly in the bar area, I would certainly recommend this place.

We had afternoon lunch today. The service was superb, very friendly staff especially Nathan and Charlene. Seats were comfortable and the atmosphere was nice. Can't wait to return.

Lovely Sunday lunch, good choices of roasts and classic dishes, good ipa as a special, v pleasant light airy dining room with fantastic views. Would be great to sit outside in warmer weather!

A very tasteful refurbishment offering a relaxing atmosphere. However I am surprised and disappointed that one cannot have coffee after 9.45pm and that the hotel does not offer an electric vehicle charger on site.

Visited for a last minute lunch with friends, fantastic service, lovely food and amazing views. Would highly recommend

Arrived around midday in Angelsey and had been recommended to visit here. Being disabled I found great parking close to hotel and a walking ramp with hand rails for support. Staff greeted us with a warm welcome and was seated to lovely table with view over the Menai. View to die for. I found the Victoria warm and inviting and beautifully clean . Diners were of Mixed ages and there was a gentle hum of people having a lovely time.We ordered fish and chips which were beautiful. Crisp batter and white fluffy fish and chips were cooked to perfection. The service was first class and food was hot. A member of staff noticed I was struggling to get up from the table and readily lent her arm for support and helped me to the toilet which were spotless. Not many people see that you’re struggling but Jade did. We ordered coffee which was hot and full of flavour. We sat chatting and we were not rushed . Definitely the kind of afternoon I love in Angelsey . Will be back very soon. Thank you

We visited for drinks outside Friday late afternoon. Lovely seating with outside bar. Lovely atmosphere. We then visited Monday late lunch. Staff serving at the bar not very friendly - very serious. Our food was fine - very hot which is good. Cutlery after food served!!No one came to take away our plates. Still there when we left. The place is so big that it lacks atmosphere. The parking is much too small for the size of the place. Will return but just for drinks.

Went for lunch and enjoyed it enormously. Well set up with tables inside and out with views over the Menai. Very pleasant staff and excellent menu with something for everyone. Will happily return.

After a long anticipated visit to the (revamped) Victoria, after hearing mixed reviews we went along with an open mind and no pre conceptions we ended up sorely disappointed. Less than average pub grub, possibly the worst meal we have had this year. The burger was cold, dry and chewy, The beef rib cold and grisly. The skin on fries must have been fried three or four times and were almost translucent with grease. The Fish and chips were terrible, batter burned to a crisp and the fillet was not the quality we expected. It was that bad we cancelled our dessert as we didn't want to risk wasting another £20 on top of the already painful £50. On a positive my 18 month old enjoyed his microwave pizza and carrots. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend this establishment to anyone, it's nice enough for a pint and the views are outstanding, I'd get dragged there for a pint, but certainly wouldn't be the person dragging anyone there. I think with such fierce competition within a few miles of The Victoria, management really need to take negative feedback on board and act on it, or I'm sure it'll be a short few years until it slips back into the Victoria of old.

Last year I exchanged Tesco points for Chef and Brewer vouchers on the understanding that The Vic would accept them . Double checked at the time on their website . It was time to use them last night. The waitress politely said they no longer accept the vouchers . I explained that they did when I exchanged my Tesco points for vouchers. The nearest other Chef and Brewer is 47 miles away. So we left and made our way up the road to The Fourcrosses where we had a lovely meal . All's well that ends well , Tesco have agreed to take the vouchers back and refund my points. This is no fault of the staff , all down to Chef and Brewer for changing their terms and conditions during the time I held the vouchers. A pity really.

Amazing from start to finish,great welcome from the staff. Beautiful inside and out with views to die for!10/10for they food just perfect couldn't fault anything lovely I will most definitely be back

What a stunning restaurant. The food was delicious! We particularly enjoyed the garlic mushrooms and the belly pork. The staff were attentive and friendly. Thank you for a lovely evening. Would definitely return.

Disappointing- bar staff too busy to serve due to chatting, guy behind the bar very surly and unapproachable. Food very disappointing - gammon overcooked, egg hard chips over done and peas like bullets. Had to ask for cutlery, then salt and pepper, then sauces. Waitress brought two meals the. Few minutes before third meal arrived, steak and ale pie very average, chips overdone, veg microwaved to within an inch of edible! Plates so hot - as though they had been sat on pass for a while! Expected a lot more for our money! 😢

My husband and I visited The Victoria Pub in Anglesey in March 2024. We had just gone in for a couple of drinks. The staff in the bar area was very friendly and found us somewhere to sit as soon as a table came available as the pub was very busy. As we sat there we watched and noticed how hard the staff serving the food worked. They smiled as they went passed our table and the food looked amazing. I ordered some coconut ice cream which was my favourite and not a lot of places do it. We had a couple more drinks before leaving. But when I was leaving I asked to see the manager to express how friendly and hard working the staff are. Next time I am in Anglesey I will be going back. Definitely recommend here for a meal.

The restaurant looked nice and the staff were lovely and understanding however the food was absolutely terrible, waited awhile for our VERY dry, overcooked and overpriced meals, speaking as someone who works in the industry, I understand the pressures however this experience was absolutely awful, we left very disappointed and will certainly not be coming back.

We were a party of 12 and we had preorderd. Unfortunately we were 30 mins late by the time we all gathered together and sat at our table. My starter was chicken strips. It looked presentable but the chicken was dried up and very crunchy. My main was again chicken...the smothered with cheese and bbq sauce. The salad was very nice but unfortunately the bacon served was dried out and the chicken was well and truly dried out . I could only eat the inner thicker part of the dish.Both starter and the main were only luke warm. I did not complain on the night as I thought it was mainly our fault for being late but on reflection afterwards the food served should have been edible. The staff were friendly , obliging and courteous throughout .

The food was good, the view was good and the restaurant itself looked nice, but I won't be going again We were invited to sit anywhere in the bar area or restaurant. We found somewhere quiet to sit and the manager rudely told us that we couldn't sit there because they area wasn't in use and scoffed that we couldn't sit on a large table if it was just two of us. There was probably around 80% of tables remaining so I didn't understand why it mattered General disorganisation ruined the atmosphere for me- the menus were different prices, they brought my friend out the wrong meal initially, they charged my friend for a main when she ordered a starter, I asked if I could pay before the meals were cooked because last time I came the staff were not trained enough to process a gift voucher I had so ended up paying- they said I could pay after we ate which seemed like beside my point, the table was wobbly, there was workmen painting with no acknowledgement or apologies from the staff, if there was areas they didnt want us to sit then why not close the section I wouldn't go again unless new management was there

Great drinks and service, in a very pleasant environment

Definitely worth it. Love coming here in the summer.

Thank you for the totally brilliant service in the restaurant this evening. We were needing to be out to an event in Llangefni for 7pm (and were weren't even seated till 5.40 !) but made it with time to spare having had a most delicious meal. Well done all concerned. Gold stars all round1

Great scenery, drinks choices, and decoration!

One night stay at this hotel. Very clean nicely decorated rooms, bar and restaurant. Very helpful staff and management. We would stay here again.

Visited early Saturday evening, place was busy and staff were helpful and attentive. Unfortunately the food was poor, especially the children’s offerings of pizza and chicken strips. The strips were over cooked and hard and the pizza undercooked, both portions were small. Adult mains were expensive, undercooked fish with dried up mushy peas and average classic burger. Decent local restaurants such as Dylan’s need not be concerned if this is the competition standard.

Had mother's day meal with my family today and we were very disappointed. The meals were not very good, we all had different meals, even my granddaughter didn't like her chicken she said it tasted funny. The staff took about half an hour to clear the table after our main course, they took our dessert order and that took 40 minutes to reach the table, the waitress apologised for the delay.

Loved out one night stay here. Hotel has had a refurbishment and looks lovely. We had a family room. It was comfortable, very clean and we all slept well. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel. Both were excellent with great service. The view from the back of the hotel is stunning.

Thank you for the great customer service!

Stayed due to Anglesey half marathon..Staff 5 star , friendly and extremely helpful ..Room had Fantastic views and a balcony. A couple of issues but we're rectified immediately. Food in the restaurant was tasty and a lot of variety. Large carpark and gardens..will be back

We visited on a busy Friday evening and hadn’t booked . The place was very busy and the staff advised as we had a dog with us we could only eat in the bar area . Fortunately someone shared their table with us , but soon after the staff were kind enough to seek us out to advise a table was available in another area if the bar . We ordered food which came very quickly and was delicious ! The young lad that helped deliver the food was so lovely and couldn’t do enough to help , in fact aside from how good the food was the whole staff we encountered were an absolute credit to this place . We will definitely come again !

This hotel restaurant had been recommended to us on our travels but disappointingly, it did not live up to expectations. Whilst it was busy, this did not account for what was overpriced, and in the case of a vegetarian dish, a tasteless and very small offering. If nothing else, value for money was expected but the size of all the dishes fell far short of the prices being charged. One small redeeming feature was that the service was good and prompt despite how busy the restaurant was.

Visited this little gem . I was in my own but needed a well earned meal and drink. Was made very welcome and didn’t feel overwhelmed as on my own. Was seated to a beautiful table looking over the Menai . Fish and chips was to die for. Hot fresh and cooked to perfection. Sat back and relaxed with a cappuccino looking over the Menai . So peaceful . Perfect way to finish my visit ! Well done the staff at Victoria. Will be back soon

Amazing place! Have visited several times since they've opened and never been disappointed! Brilliant place for families and also for a romantic meal. Cannot wait to visit in summer. The views are out of this world. Food and service spot on 👌

Used to stay here for business before the refurb and I have to say the place is now absolutely stunning. The decor is out of this world and I'm happy to say there are still lots of familiar faces from the old freindly team. Dinner was delicious I had the Cod and chips followed by the sticky toffee pudding which was to die for! You would expect the rooms to be a higher end of the tariff rate considering how well done and high spec they have been refurbed but they are at a surprising resonable price which is even better however I would pay more. All in all this place is a real gem and I can't wait to visit again for pleasure next time rather than business!

£19 for a pint and a single bacardi. London prices but in Wales. Absolute rip off. Food wasn't even that good either! Go to Dylans was lovely.

Absolutely loved this hotel , the mood the energy from the staff , the rooms were perfect and cannot fault anything. We travelled from Nottingham everything from start to finish 2 nights was just perfect !!! Your staff are a credit and stevie was just lovely ! Will deffinately be booking again very very soon !

Our third visit since the refurbishment and probably our last. Just such a shame that the surroundings and staff (lovely) don't match the food quality (very average). A lot of people seem to be saying the same thing. As a vegetarian I was a bit limited for choice (with the exception of the Mushroom 'pie' which I had last time and didn't enjoy) everything had a spice element. I don't like spicy food so just had vegetable soup and some chips. Unfortunately, even the (small portion of lukewarm) soup was spicy!!! The accompanying bread was advertised as a 'wedge of bloomer'. In reality it was three very meagre grey and tasteless slices with the tiniest sliver of butter. My Husband loved his smothered chicken mind. Everything just tastes processed. The Vic has a lot of competition in Menai Bridge on the food front and they really need to raise their game if they're going to survive.

Lovely trip away with great staff and the best Sancerre we have tasted Great location Recently refurbished so everything new

We had a table in the conservatory next to the Christmas tree, family of five, the waitresses Kim, Michelle and Lauren worked very hard and were very polite and helpful. The Christmas decorations were beautiful and added to the lovely atmosphere. Everybody's was faultless I would highly recommend and return in the future. Well done team Vic

We visited here for a breakfast whilst staying nearby in a cottage. The interior is beautiful having had a full refurbishment earlier this year. There is a huge dining area that opens up into a beautiful terraced area over looking the estuary. As we had our dog with us we sat in the bar area for our food which was just as pleasant as the restaurant. The staff were very polite and friendly and the breakfast was excellent. We are considering going back to stay for a couple of nights in the new year. We would definitely recommend visiting if ever you are in or near Menai Bridge.

Beautiful decor and views of the Menai Strait, spoilt by disappointing food. It was our second visit and it was just as bad as the first time we went. Unfortunately, it is typical chain Restaurant food. Cheap ingredients, badly cooked but overpriced for the quality. We live locally but won’t be going again!

A group of 8 friends had a lovely Festive Menu yesterday. We all enjoyed our Food and Service. Slight negative. Those who had Tiger Prawns found the peeling procedure messy although the Dish was excellent (especially the Romesco Sauce) Wet Wipe or Bowl of water would have made things easier.

The Food was ( Weatherspoons quality). But Thought it would have been better! i expected a bit more home made not microwave meal! The decor and place was fantastic, staff were great!

Excellent food, great service, excellent venue. Would definitely come again. Would highly recommend.

Large group met up for dinner, lots of pleasant service staff but I would like to kindly point out that I didn't feel our group was looked after well. My meal was forgotten so I sat with an empty place setting whilst everyone else enjoyed their food. After 10 mins had to notify staff that mine hadn't come, because no one had checked if all was ok. It had obviously been forgotten. When it did come it had the wrong side dish. Empty plates and glasses filled the table, no-one was looking after us, no one collecting empties - whose responsibility was it to keep checking if our table needed clearing or if indeed all of us had received a meal? Disappointed - not in the personable staff, but in their training - something was amiss or lacking 🫤 in my day I'd work for my tip by ensuring table was looked after in all aspects of service.

After finding no other places serving brunch in midweek in Menai Bridge, we reluctantly returned to the Vic. Very pleasantly surprised! Service was much better (permanent staff, rather than casual maybe?), food was very good as previously. Would recommend.
