The Victory in Tendring

Fantastic local. And a great place to drop in while on holiday. Great food. Great staff and dog friendly. Great new menu as well.

Lovely friendly staff and wine and beer was great. Good prices too. We have enjoyed a few drinks and meals here now. Always happy with the service and the food is just amazing. Would recommend. Booking is a good idea in the busier times, to grantee a table.

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere and a fantastic treat for the family. We love Walton on the Naze, and especially an evening at The Victory. The food is 5* and the service is second to none. It's what brings us back year after year. See you next year!

Great food, very tasty. Service a bit slow. Not much of an atmosphere but no complaints about that!

There were 6 of us at the table, 5 of us had the Cod, chips and peas. The fish was superb beautifully fresh with perfect batter which was light and crisp. The chunky chips looked really nice but were a bit soft and didn't taste as nice as they looked, hence only a 4. Service was great. Lovely waitresses and a lovely warm welcome from all the staff.

Absolutely wonderful establishment. Food selection was excellent and quality was first class. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the surroundings were extremely relaxing. If you are in the area this is a must visit for food-drink.

First time visit yesterday, birthday treat, wife and dog in tow. Lovely old style pub, locals friendly great atmosphere, dog friendly and the food is amazing. Choice was based on quality not quantity, staff attentitive couldn't find fault with any aspect, ribs were lush, hamburger lush, and the mixed fruit crumble to die for.....a word of warning don't wear a white top if you have the ribs....thank you Victory...

We walked in one weekday evening whilst staying at Frinton. We’d visited the pub some years ago with family. There were a few people in sat at a table, older generation and the music was blaring. We stood at the bar and could see the two bar staff at the bar. They saw us. We stood and waited, and waited, the music seemed to be getting louder, I was getting more stressed, partner was looking forward to a pint…..in the end we said sod it, let’s get the Chinese next door and a few cans from Tesco. No wonder pubs are closing. For locals only? Zero for atmosphere and service. Actually minus zero

Great atmosphere and a good pint.

Welcoming, clean and cared-for pub. Stopped by for a very nice ale following a recommendation. We were not here at lunch time but the food menu looked interesting. Looking forward to returning.

We did book but turned up a little earlier but allowed a table! Roast dinners were amazing and the Fish and chips also amazing.. Staff so friendly and service exceptional.. Thank for a wonderful meal and atmosphere x

Went for Sunday Roast and it was spectacular

great pub staff and locals cant wait to visit again

Excellent food,beer and atmosphere 👌

We popped into the Victory for a few drinks with out toddler and was warmly greeted and had excellent service, our toddler was loving life in the family friendly environment.

Group of 22 for birthday celebrations. The team worked really hard and the food was so good. Thank you for helping us make our occasion so special

Lacking more vegetarian options. Food was fantastic.

Good food, good beer, will be going back soon

A really good meal at the Victory . Very generous portions and great service.

Lovely cosy pub. Comfortable with friendly staff. Dog friendly too. Great selection of beers, ales, cider, gin etc. The food menu had a great selection too - I had the Beer battered cod and I've never tasted cod so good, the batter was so delicious which was homemade along with the homemade tartar sauce and minted mushy peas - I didn't want my dinner to end. I will definitely be returning. Such a hidden gem 💎

Just been for Sunday lunch . Absolutely lovely . Very traditional roast dinner . Asked for my meat well done as it comes fairly pink usually and mine came out perfectly fine for my own personal taste . Big generous portions and all fresh . Will definitely be back to try other meals .

If you just want a drink, possibly not the best. They like to serve meals more, so we found ourselves being asked to move

Excellent Meal at the Victory pub, Exceptional food, staff fun and friendly the service is 100% nothing is to much trouble for them the best place to eat locally.

Lovely pub and great food welcoming staff would definitely recommend

Perfect lunch today - excellent beer & wine, perfectly cooked & delicious "small plates", mussels, prawns, whitebait, asparagus. Heartily recommended, & will definitely be back. Many thanks.

Lovely food, nice atmosphere. Would definitely recommend if you’re in Walton on the naze

Had Sunday lunch it was absolutely gorgeous, highly recommended

Food excellent service really good and prices reasonable. Worth a visit.

Great Colchester pub with real ales and cyders

Great little traditional pub, with great food

Plates were very dirty underneath did not notice until picking up to clear table

Made a visit to Walton today, me and my wife, we eat at this pub/restaurant, we both had fish n chips and tbh probably the best Fish I have had ever and trust me I have had my fair share, the batter was crispy the fish was fresh, the whole meal was delicious. Also the service was fantastic, quick polite service. Highly recommend this lovely place!!!!

We had such a lovely meal here. I had fish cake and my partner had the steak. Was absolutely lovely. Great staff

Just went to The Victory with my husband, toddler and my dog for lunch. We hadn't booked and was just visiting the area. The lady behind the bar said that they were fully booked, then came back and said they could seat us in the bar, which was really nice of them. Being vegetarian, we were disappointed in the lack of veggie options. Unless you were a meat-eater, you are pretty limited. Needless to say, the mushroom burgers that we chose were delicious, if not a little soggy, but that's to be expected for a large flat mushroom. What I was most disappointed about was that there were no vegetarian options on the children's menu. Chicken nuggets, fish goujons or sausages - all served with chips. I appreciate they probably won't get many vegetarian children come into the pub, but that's poor. At least offer a veggie sausage option or something as well. Anyway, we ended up ordering the hummus and flatbreads for our daughter, which she enjoyed and devoured all the olives! Not a fan of the turmeric and coriander hummus though. Overall, a nice meal, just needs more veggie options.

A locals pub, friendly atmosphere and great service. Made to feel very welcome, reasonably priced drinks topped it off. Definitely a place to visit when in need of a stiff drink or 4!

We went on a monday, when they dont sell food! But we had a drink and looked at the menu, which looks great. Will be going back on a different day.

Lovely food and very reasonable. Friendly service. Would recommend

Fantastic and friendly staff, comfy setting and an outstanding fish and chips. Would recommend

Nice place good price good food good + can take dog inside + beer good

What a find .thanks for the recommendation Carla at Lacey's dressmaking

Fresh flowers on the restaurant tables, toilets that don't smell like toilets and Guinness for under a fiver. What's not to like.

Lovely food, great service, well priced.

On holiday, went in for a evening meal fantastic service, quality and value. I shall definitely be visiting again before I head home. Well done team.

Had the most amazing pub meal. The hamburgers are huge. Fish and chips very fresh. Absolutely will go back.

Went in for a late lunch but they were no longer serving any food. Stayed for a quick drink before leaving.

Delicious food, great service, really lovely traditional pub. Booking advised, and I can totally understand why it’s always so busy! We will definitely be back! Best fish& chips I’ve ever had, and my husbands steak was incredible also!

I can’t praise this place highly enough, we had booked dinner for 6 people three adults and three kids and we were running late and the kitchen closed at 8pm and we got there around 7.45, also another friend and her husband wanted to join us, the staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble, they quickly moved tables to accommodate 8 of us. Then one of the kids wet himself and they quickly mopped up without a fuss. The food was outstanding, I had a steak which was cooked to perfection. The staff really went the extra mile and were lovely kind and helpful even though we were late and a bit chaotic.

Wow food fantastic we had fish and chips fresh fish not frozen big chips with mushy peas and sliced gherkins with tartar sauce all hot really enjoyed, staff friendly can't wait to go back.

Fantastic staff great booze shame about the landlady Tottenham supporter 😂😂🤣🤣

Absolute gem of a pub! Dog friendly, food is absolutely delicious and the staff are some of the loveliest in Walton! Felt so at home, it's a really relaxed and chilled venue!

We had the best fish and chips and burgers here. Was really really lovely. Dog friendly which was a bonus! We will certainly return

Made a great shelter from a windy day. Lovely pub with a real sun trap of a yard at the back. Good selection of well kept beer.

Good beer, good food and good gluten free food

First timer here, definitely worth the visit. The place was very clean, plus good flow of fresh air. The staff were super friendly, plus the fish and chips was perfect! God knows how they make the batter :) ill definitely visit again soon!

Just had a great Sunday roast dinner. Friendly staff, great food and very dog friendly. What’s not to like 👍

Lovely bar, great selection of gins and amazing team! I haven't tried the food but only heard the best thing about it. Would definitely recommend, Emma was the kindest and helped us when we had phone issues. If you go to Walton-on-the-Naze, make sure you stop at the victory.

Lovely little pub, great food reasonably priced. Will definitely go again.

Had a pre booked meal for 4 guests, 1 of which has quite severe mobility problems, the staff were superb and arranged a table with easy access and on the same level as the toilets, I did forget this and entered through the wrong door!..anyway..apart from my personal discrepancy we can only vouch for the super service with lovely food and drink, the fish and chip meals were well presented and more importantly tasty and very well cooked, the gourmet burger was juicy, meaty and full of flavour, the pie my wife had was hearty and full of flavour too .. faultless food, environment and staff.. do not miss out on this place if you're in the town!

A good selection of food. Mussle period were on the small side but good for a dog friendly pub

Old fashion pub lovely staff food looked good

Delicious food, great ambience, very friendly efficient service

Absolutely rammed couldnt get in for a live music event then the next night a quiz no free tables. Not there fault but seemed nice place

Nice pub and very friendly staff. Visited 11/05/23 as a small family gathering. We arrived for lunch and were happy with the food and service which was reasonably priced. I will visit this pub again.

Decent pub, good choice of beers.

Over priced. Nice food but £8.00 for a tiny pudding, that's shocking. Won't be back

On holiday for a few days this is a lovely pub. homely feel and atmosphere. Good selection of Gins.

Nice local pub warm and cosy in there love emma

Lovely meal both times we went. Very tasty & very hot. Excellent service and very accommodating for our little dog. Efficient & friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Best battered fish I have ever had. Good portion size. Followed by tasty apple and berry crumble.

Beautiful pint. Good beers. Quiet and friendly. Roaring fire on a cold day. XX

Discovered this pub a week ago just popped in for a drink and loved the atmosphere. Came back today for Sunday lunch and was more than impressed food was 5* quality absolutely delicious will definitely be back.

Warm friendly welcome lovely atmosphere and fantastic home cooked food you can't go wrong visiting this pub.

Wasn't expecting much from such an out of the way place but was pleasantly surprised. Food was good & dogs are allowed . Staff were nice and it was nice & clean

Thank you to everyone at the Victory for a fabulous Christmas meal last night. Food and service were first class. Xxx

We had a Christmas meal of 11 and the food was fantastic, everyone was extremely happy, the service was great and attentive, a couple of special requests which was no problem, Emma and staff were very helpful, would definitely recommend, this was our second visit as a large number and we will definitely return, many thanks for a great evening.

Great pub, not for vegetarians, come,warm and friendly

Enjoyed a lovely lunch time meal at the Victory as visitors to the town. The food and service was first rate. Varied menu. Our chooses were all cooked perfectly

havent been to the victory in a good few years, and i think i'm gonna stick to staying away. the bar staff were outstanding and honestly the only good thing about the pub. ordered food, in which they didnt have a kids menu to start with and the menu is a bit MEH... i had their burger a safety choice in which i regret the chilli con carne had mushroom in and was incredibly spicy the only good plate was the chicken goujons i wouldnt go back to the victory for another meal i also find that it was over priced by 15-20% per meal

Amazing Sunday roast dinner. Best I've had. Great service. Really recommend this lovely pub. If you are going for the Sunday roast make sure to call up and book a table 😋😋😋

wonderful host's great company highly recommended

Lovely cosy place with friendly staff and good wine.

Went for Sunday lunch. The food was excellent and so we're the staff. Nothing was to much trouble. Will definitely return

Enjoyed my gourmet burger, decent selection of ales. Disappointed that for a dog friendly pub dogs had to go to the ‘garden’ for a drink where the water bowls weren’t particularly clean, 4 star otherwise.

Sunday roast. Food was absolutely delicious generous portion 4 adults 2 5 year okd we eat everything and really enjoyed also had desert amazing. Staff friendly helpful and nothing to much trouble. Definitely will be back. Can't go wrong if you eat here

Always a pleasure. We visit here every year at the end of summer and love the place. I live for their burger and fries. A real gastro pub with terrific food, nice local atmosphere and friendly and helpful staff. They've recently got Beavertown Neck Oil on draft which goes down very well with our craft beer loving crew. All in all, top marks from me!

At first i was slightly disappointed that the gluten free version of the beer battered cod was actually grilled but to my surprise the food was excellent! Fresh and great flavours . My mum had the lamb roast dinner and even sent her compliments to the chef. A bit pricy for lunch but would definitely visit again and recommend. Staff were also friendly and helpful

Friendly staff and great food, the beer ain't to shabby either! A good place to chill away from the hot weather and tourists. Or if you are a tourist, which i was!

Great roast dinner. No parking but do have toilets...
