The Victory in Brighton and Hove

Had our Christmas party here for the third year in a row. Good food great price portion size was huge. I love going to The Victory. The staff are welcoming with a good crowd whats not to like

Popped in for a quick drink pub is ok, but if I go in here again I will take some wellies, if I need to go to the toilet

Lovely food and a great little pub with seating upstairs

Absolutely faultless meal, and so delicious. Chicken Shawarma with a tortilla wrap. Will definitely be returning to try other options on the menu.

Didn't order food. Music was too loud...service was good...

Proper pub. Unpretentious and good value food. Great staff.

Nice , quiet pub. I popped in for a quick drink .

Great pub! Nice and quirky with different areas and rooms on two levels

What a cracking little place! It's taken far too long for me to try here!!!!!

Have to say the food tasted great very well cooked!! BUT I ordered the 4 meat roast on Sunday.... And it was hard to eat without making a mess, slightly bigger plate would make it a little easier and maybe a better knife, also the red cabbage tasted overly sweet. (Maybe just personal preference)

Beautiful pub with a good atmosphere where you can have a drink and eat. We had fish & chips that were delicious. The super crunchy batter and creamy cod. The potatoes were good. And it's a pretty big portion.

Nice roast, abundant. The veggies were the best of it and I wish I could go back just for more turnips. Staff were very professional, friendly and attentive.

A very nice pub. There was a good selection of beers, and reasonably priced for the area. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was of a high standard for pub fayre, generous portions, well presented, and cooked to perfection. I would thoroughly recommend.

Classic pub with great selection of local brewers alongside the classics. The staff are always friendly and this pub has the feel of how a pub should be. There are spaces to sit inside, outside in the sun or in their garden and all are lovely in their own right.

Great venue for the show outside on Saturday evening

Can’t believe the service provided at this pub, food is always lovely and George was the most perfect bar member who has ever graced this earth. Get yourself here and ask for him personally. Highly recommend

10/10 service, George was the best staff member. The sweeping of the rain and table service was a particular highlight!

Fantastic old school pub with all its charm and a great beer selection

paid £5.10 for just orange juice and lemonade which is crazy, wouldn’t have ordered for that price if i’d known before.

Good beer selection and surprisingly really good fish and chips

Great old pub that's not been ruined by a re-furb, keep it like it is!

Went there Monday for few after work beers with my colleagues, staff here are brilliant they welcomed us with smile and served us very quickly , it’s cosy and clean. I have tried their burgers and wraps few times before and they are very good as well. Worth a visit.

Food was amazing, very tasty very fullfilling. Paid when ordering which i personally prefer. The staff were very welcoming and checked up on you throughout the meal. Highly recommend (especially the sticky toffee pudding)

Popped in for a quick pint and it seemed like a nice pub, obviously very old and full of character.

It has changed a lot since I drank here with my dad in the early 80s. Missing the atmosphere it once had.

Staff very rude, loud, constantly swearing and using other foul language. Not sure if this was with regulars, but even then, this is not nice with others around. A taxi driver came in and made an enquiry, when leaving the staff were quick to mock him. Place is filthy, even after wiping table with wet wipes three times it was still black. Lots of flies/fleas/midges.

The best fish and chips ever. Beautiful chunky cod and gorgeous chips. Delicious. And fabulous chicken sizzler. Hot and spicy.

Nice bar in the middle of brighton. Good to people watch

Great friendly staff great beer lovely place

I have never eaten in the victory but it looks like good food😀

We stopped here while doing some shopping and we’re so glad we did, really old school pub vibes with a brilliant menu! They said they just had the Garden done and it was such a great little sun trap, we will definitely be back!

I've liked this pub for many years. Right in the centre and they serve good beer. Not the cheapest pub but that's Brighton for you.

Great food, friendly staff and overall a fabulous atmosphere 😁

Always had great service from the friendly staff. Fair prices, seating inside and outside, perfect venue for private hire. Central location with close proximity to the seafront. Highly recommend.

Great burger but the table was dirty and the guy was so indifferent, no cutlery, tried to take the plate when I hadn't finish without saying a word. In his own world.

A hidden gem off the beaten track, reasonably priced food and very good quality.

Like other reviews I’ve read, ran in for shelter from the rain and ended up ordering some food. Really delicious, hot and fresh, generous portions. We had a bacon cheeseburger which was juicy with a great homemade sauce, and the fish and chips were crispy but not overdone. Will definitely come back if I’m in Brighton again!

It's okay nice and cosy pub , but yet again very expensive I was shocked tbh

Ordered their fish chips and cheese burger to share. The fish was nick nicely done with crispy batter coating and moist cooked fish outside. The accompanying chips were huge and flavorful, but the mushy peas are a tad dry. Taste ok eaten with the tartar sauce that served with the fish. The cheese burger was tasty and juicy. Tried their crafted beer, refreshing, and went well with the food. I would recommend this place.

Great central Brighton Bar near the Jewellery Lanes, old pub, lots of History known it for a long time ... Nice Staff, Easy place to be for a Quiet Drink and Good Company 😁👍

Nothing fancy, but friendly and comfortable.

Working away in the area and looked at some reviews for my evening meal. The pub is cosy, the staff are friendly and the food is great. If in the area a great spot and will call in again if in Brighton.

Great venue for drinks, live music is excellent.

Adorable little pub with great service!

Decent pub if as many slightly expensive

Always a good place to go to! They have an outside at the back as well which is nice!

Great experience. Delicious food. Attentive staff. Only request is that you fix the booth seat at table 1.

Three Sunday lunches - one lamb,one chicken and one vegan. Absolutely outstanding on all counts. 10/10. We will definitely be back

Did not eat so cannot comment on food. The chap behind the bar was welcoming and efficient . The drinks were good and reasonably priced. The pub is wonderful and full of character. Well worth a visit, so skip Spoons and go straight here.

My recent dining experience at The Victory Inn with my family, including our furry companion, was a mix of delight and frustration. As usual, we settled into our preferred spot, either indoors or outdoors, expecting the tables to be clean and ready for us to order. However, this time, we found ourselves repeatedly asking for every single item and service we needed, which was quite unexpected given our frequent visits. It felt like the staff were stretched thin, multitasking and struggling to attend to each customer individually. This led to some discomfort, especially for the bartender who seemed to be handling multiple tasks at once. Despite the service challenges, the food was a shining star, earning top marks from our group. Each dish was prepared with care and delivered with a cheerful demeanor, which somewhat mitigated the inconvenience we faced with the service. The menu offered a delightful array of traditional pub fare, satisfying both our cravings and our expectations. The ambiance of The Victory Inn added to the overall experience, transporting us to an authentic English pub setting. The cozy interior was adorned with charming decor and memorabilia, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It was evident that the establishment took pride in its heritage, and we enjoyed exploring the various trinkets and artifacts scattered throughout the space. However, amidst the nostalgic charm, there were noticeable areas that could benefit from improvement. The cleanliness of the chairs and tables left something to be desired, and it was clear that more attention to detail was needed in maintaining a tidy and organized environment. Additionally, while the staff were friendly and accommodating, there was room for enhancement in terms of efficiency and attentiveness to customer needs. In conclusion, while The Victory Inn provided a memorable dining experience with its delectable food and cozy ambiance, there are areas where it could elevate its service standards to ensure a consistently exceptional experience for all patrons. With a bit of refinement and attention to detail, this charming English pub could truly shine as a gem in the local dining scene.

I had a great time the bar staff was so lovely there's a band which was great really friendly people very easy great atmosphere definitely will be popping in again

Good meeting place beers good xx

Always a good option for a decent beer in the city centre.

Great fish and chips . Lovely batter and fresh fish . A lot of chunky chips cooked just right . Loved the mushed peas . Good value for money would definitely try again .

Where do I start! I really going to the Victory Inn for the great variety of food! The presentation is very appealing to give you the "I'm gonna smash this" and not ending up finishing it but it's so delicious you take it back home in a take away box and have it for lunch the next day. It's that sort quality of food and well seasoned meats you just wouldn't want it to go to waste. In the pic; - Lebanonese Shawarma Wrap w/fries - Nachos Cheese Guac Salsa etc with added Chicken Shawarma - Beef Sizzler (proper siZZZZZZling away, on a hot day even the steam was there) Would recommend to try the Shawarma, it's a 10/10! Will be going back there and taking my friends as it's bang in the center of Brighton and it's definitely great food to have before a good night! Sunday roast. Unbelievable. The picture says it all.

Nice friendly staff. Had good red wine choices especially a sangiovesse.

Lovely pub, the roast dinners we had were amazing and the drinks are so good. Matt our server was so helpful and couldn't do enough for us. Would definitely recommend!

Halloumi burger was unreal. Very very nice. Nice atmosphere, nice pub. If I lived locally I'd make it my local.

Quick pint of Red Stripe at Tuesday lunchtime. Needs a refurb.

As usual, excellent service, food and atmosphere at The Vic. It never disappoints.

The place is quite lovely, antique looking, the waitress is great and fast.

Nice friendly pub, food menu looked good but was only in for a pint. Good selection of local beers but a Guinness was needed.

Peerless customer service. Laine beers. Do you need any more? You do not.

If you don’t mind tables that havn’t been clean since the night before, friendly bar staff and an above average pint, hit these bad guys n gals up

Good if not too busy however also good menu choices and stuff to be had there, so plan to see this place again at some point in the future. Good to see some nice stuff to have each time that have come here.

Food was absolutely delicious, as a chef myself it's so wonderful to find what I really like elsewhere. Well done to the chef at the victory Inn.

Nice chilled out pub, with a function room upstairs for private events, and situated in heart of laines, this is well worth a visit, even if just calling past on way to seafront or to stay in and meet friends for a few hours

Food was exceptional and 2 for 1 burgers on a Tuesday.

Nice pub but their menu was not as advertised. They put us on a reserved table that was too small but was able to rectify this. Food was just burgers and chips mainly which took a long time to be served and one dish was even later. We had expected the menu to be Sunday lunch or the menu advertised. Shame as this was booked for a Birthday celebration. Still nice enough.

Bar staff are alright, standard Brighton prices on pints. Quite dark on the inside but I like that in a pub!

Peter Joannou at the window singing for charity The pub adds to this great monthly event

Great pub with great roasts in the centre of town Staff are always lovely and really helpful, while the food is consistently very good. Definitely worth a visit if you fancy somewhere central that has good food at a reasonable price.

Very nice Sunday roast, friendly staff. Dog friendly as a bonus

This is a classic Brighton pub. It's changed quite a bit but it retains its warm atmosphere. Live music on the night we went too.

What a fantastic pub! We had an amazing Sunday lunch, the food was just absolutely gorgeous, (huge portions!), the atmosphere cosy and the staff were just brilliant! Cannot recommend The Victory highly enough! Thank you 😊

Friendly atmosphere, good selection of local beers. A proper boozer.

Just love this pub. Different seating areas and great food.

Great pub food took a time to arrive though,great local beers

We only ducked in here for a pint due to the downpour but so glad we did! The smell of the lunch was amazing! Staff were so friendly and the atmosphere so lovely that 1 pint turned into 3 and by then I was absolutely ravenous. We were kindly squeezed in even though they were super busy and enjoyed a fantastic roast beef dinner that was enormous! Would not hesitate to come back and would highly recommend 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Leuke pub met kleine kaart. Gegeten en gedronken was prima. Je krijgt wat je verwacht prijzen zijn redelijk hoog

Great pub. Came to Brighton from Nottingham for a holiday. Food is brilliant, quite large portions so you may want to share if you aren't too hungry! Staff are really friendly. Definitely recommend. Can't say a bad word about it to be honest.

Great Pub, nice service, very friendly bar Keepers Very comfortable for a nice, enjoyable evening Good Drinks and you definitely have to try their Fries/Chips...

Greatest Place in Brighton!!! Extremely nice and friendly Bartenders good Drinks and Fair prices. The Ambiente is as great as everything. Had a Verry lovely and nice stay. We will definitely come back if we are coming to Brighton another time. We spent about 4 hours on one and 6 hours on another day here

Was here Sunday night Lovely little pub great atmosphere and great tunes

Great little pub with good food, good service and good drinks. Didn't stay long enough but they had a live band setting up and it would have been great to watch.

I went to this pub on a they had on butter on tap and the beer was off. So a pub with no hand pump bitter!

Traditional pub, with a reasonable beer range. Good value, simple food. Nice. Great wraps.

Went for lunch, the bartenders were super friendly and welcoming and it was some of the best food I’ve ever had in a pub :))))

Cool pub in an ideal location. Staff super friendly and Red Stripe on tap which is always a bonus!

Had my 60th birthday drinks here, and really enjoyed the night 😊

Great old school pub, full of atmosphere

Filthy tables sticky felt very unwelcome by lazy staff eating at the bar went back for a other drink not busy but she'd rather play with the chalk board than serve waiting customers when she eventually served me rolled her eyes when I asked about different drinks ...get em on customer service course, shame lovely setting oldy pub but run by kids

Visiting Brighton and called in for a beer. Lovely old traditional pub, the bar staff recommended a local beer called "rippa" which turned out to be a really great proper ale. Would visit again.

Two Finnish tourists were happy after finishing their trip to the UK by having the obligatory fish and chips here on the last night. Bonus points for wheelchair accessibility.

Great old boozer.. Great location, don't tell anyone..

Great pub,lovely food and attentive staff.Will go again.

Went for dinner on a Monday night whilst visiting Brighton, had the nachos and the chicken shawarma burger, both were very tasty and extremely generous portions, beer was good too and the service was friendly! Also, some great tunes on the playlist. Would definitely go back!

Good beer choices and good service

I came here every night ony hols, Team treated me like a local, Brixton beer on tap... Heaven. Visited June 23 and the Brixton is gone. Boooo! Still nice enough pub and server Gentleman on bar was very friendly

Great boozer with a good atmosphere. Only had one pint but could have stayed all night.
