No complaints about the quality of the food [we chose fish, chips, peas from an extensive menu]. Our service was also satisfactory and the bar is well stocked and not overly expensive. But the owners really need to try a bit harder. The corner of the bar area boasts a collection of builders materials. There is no heating, An ill fitted TV adorns the back wall and there are panels missing exposing plumbing in the toilets. Add the bewildering allowance of dogs in the dining area and what could be an excellent dining experience is left in the somewhat disappointing category. A pity because they get an awful lot right and the location is awe inspiring.

If you’re staying in Borth or just there for a quick visit and needing a meal, avoid this place at all costs. The terrace may be beguiling but the food and service is abysmal. A po-faced bar woman/landlady will serve you a drink at the bar and ask for payment up front even though you’ve booked a table earlier in the day for dinner. When you have chosen from an extensive menu and you go to the bar to order she will again ask for payment up front. You will later see why. My husband ordered duck and orange sauce: I ordered salmon with a mushroom sauce. They were both done to death - salmon dry as dust, duck a pile of flabby skin with a leathery underside, and both sauces tasteless. No-one came to ask if everything was OK while we were trying to chew our way through these ruins. Eventually, a charming young waitress asked if she could clear our plates. She did not ask if everything had been OK but we felt obliged to tell her it was one of the worst meals we’d ever been served. She told the chef who sent his apologies and offered us free desserts. We declined, having had enough experience of his cooking. Too little customer service too late - and a menu too extensive for this chef to cope with. Plus staff too obsessed with their mobile phones to offer any attention to customers.

Our first visit we came across the Victoria by accident and sat out on the balcony overlooking the sea on a glorious afternoon. We have since been back numerous times when we drop off or pick up our son from Aberystwyth Uni which is only 15 minutes away. The food and service has always been good , that is why we keep returning.

Slow. Overcooked. Bland. The only thing that saves The Victoria Inn is it's staff. The seafood linguini had the texture of chewing gum, it's most redeemable feature was the amount of seafood in it. It wasn't hot the whole way through which makes me think it was microwaved to order. Waited a while for it to arrive as well. I noticed I wasn't the only table which had been waiting for some time, there was another group who had been there before me and if I'd been waiting almost an hour, how long had they waited? I assumed the kitchen was just backed up, I appreciate this having worked in a kitchen for a number of years but it doesn't hurt to tell people the kitchen is running a bit behind.

The staff were great. Made sure dogs were looked after too. Views on the front were also amazing. Great place to watch the sunset. Food let this place down a lot. I had seafood pasta which was luke warm and was very shy of seafood, literally just tastes of cream. The burgers were overcooked and dry. Would return again but only for drinks.

The view from the upstairs garden is fabulous of the beach so on a lovely day this would be lovely . We were seated inside in an extremely crowded small room but it’s an old building so i understand that . We ordered quite quickly as you go downstairs to order at the bar but it took an hour for food to come . My kids both had fish and chips which they said was nice , I had pasta which was ok , abit tasteless and served in a cereal bowl ! Was expecting better from the reviews I’d seen , staff were friendly though but the wait was excessive . I felt sorry for a family next to us who had small children and had to go to the bar for crisps the wait was so long .

Booked table for Sunday dinner as I always do every time im in borth three plus times a year table booked 8 days in advance only to be told on arrival we were upstairs not in main bar area as all tables booked to watch football manchester United against Liverpool Liverpool lady behind bar couldn't care as she was to busy on her phone. Major disappointment as food is always great pity football and beer comes before food as if that game wasn't on im sure I would have enjoyed the excellent Sunday roast. Alas I won't go in vic for food again

In search of a coffee in lieu of lunch we ended up here by default. Everywhere else was closed or full. But we were so glad we did! The coffee choice was black or white. Not a good start but boy when those suckers came they were perfect. Hot, really hot, strong and full bodied and a lovely milky froth on top in good sized proper mugs! Since the weather was typically Welsh and very damp they hit the mark like nothing else. Since it was late lunchtime we thought we should probably order some food as it is a pub and we weren’t drinking. Two bowls of soup ordered. Chicken and veg with loads of chicken and lovely hot proper bread was an entire meal in itself and the tomato and basil was thick and tasty too. Friendly helpful staff AND dog friendly this place ticks all the boxes.

Visited yesterday for lunch.Cappuccino is just warmed up milk with trace of coffee- tasteless. Cod and chips just awful. Dripping with grease, over cooked batter with tiniest piece of dried up cod if you managed to get past the batter. Such a shame as last meal a month ago in the evening was very nice. Perfect location overlooking the sea.

A lovely little pub with standard pub grub, had quite large selection on the menu and price was average. A beautiful beer garden/terrace looking out to sea. We had a drink and snack here yesterday, the service was ok, but there is no table service, you order at the bar whether drinks or food and are asked to take glasses back to the bar. Went back for evening meal here this evening and different staff which seemed more attentive. I had vegetable lasagna and I really enjoyed my food. My partner had steak, that was fine cooked how he asked but there wasn't much peppercorn sauce. We would go back but this was our last night here in borth.

We booked a table for two while taking a couple of days break to celebrate our Ruby Wedding as we thought it would be lovely to eat on the balcony overlooking the sea. As the wind was so strong we decided to eat inside and ordered a curry and pasta dish. Both meals were so poor words fail me, cold, tasteless curry had no heat, no spice and certainly from the microwave the pasta, cold and tasteless, I cant remember when we had eaten a worst meal. Good for a drink overlooking the sea but steer clear of the food. not worth the one star I was forced to tick.

Great place with great outside seating right on the beach so first impressions were good. We only stopped for drinks, a beer and a coffee however the coffee order was an issue. There we two ladies behind the bar and approx six other customers. One of the ladies said we do serve coffee but wasn't sure if the machine was on. The other lady ssid it was so I thought everything was fine. Then after fiddling with the machine for a while the first lady said i can make you a coffee but we are very busy so you can only have the one I will be too busy to make you another one as we have a big table booked in. I was perplexed at this so declined the "one" even though I would have only had the one. It was such a shame as the views were amazing we would pobably have returned for more visits and maybe some food as the menu looked good. If it was late the evening I would understand but it was approximately 5pm. Such a shame and I wouldn't wasnt to put others off and miss the fantastic views and seating area this bar has. Maybe it was just a bad day we all have them.

Calling all dog lovers and brave canine adventurers! Prepare to embark on a roller coaster experience at The Victoria Inn at Borth, a place where the landlady's disdain for dogs adds an extra touch of excitement to your visit. Now, I must warn you, dear readers, that the Victoria Inn's dog-friendly policy might come with a bit of a twist. You see, the landlady's love for our four-legged companions is about as strong as her desire to ride naked on a unicycle along Aberystwyth Prom in a storm. Upon arrival, my puppy was immediately set upon by a much larger dog at the end of the bar, however, my little girl stood her ground and gave as good as she got, leading to the owner of the other dog taking the snarling animal who started the trouble outside. This sort of thing happens in every pub in the land that allows dogs. The Land Lady stood behind the bar, with a forced smile and eying my furry friend with total distain and I could almost hear her thinking, "I can't believe I have to let these drooling creatures into my pristine establishment." The Land Lady, obviously not well equipped with doggy etiquette sternly pointed out to us that “Barky Dogs have to go outside”, I explained we intended to sit outside anyway and had I not already ordered our drinks we wouldn’t have stayed. My 18 month old little girl, obviously still startled by the other dogs aggression, hid between my legs whimpering. In conclusion, the Victoria Inn at Borth is a quirky haven for dog lovers who relish a challenging ever-watchful landlady as soon as they walk in. So, leave your sense of humor at the door, embrace the side-eye, and get ready to make memories that will leave your tail between your legs for years to come.

Busy pub. Probably the only one in Borth open to booking for evening meal, well done. The food was not the best but acceptable, service pretty much non existent but they were very busy, maybe we were expecting too much. Despite all of this, the family had a good evening.

I cancelled our booking but found that they would cook our meal and provide it as a takeaway.

Despite COVID restrictions, food and drink service is still operating and was safe and efficient. We loved their halloumi with honey and za’atar, garlic mushrooms and wraps washed down with a good selection of beers and wines. We stayed until sundown and managed 3 visits over 36 hours. It’s definitely the best post-COVID sit-outside pub we’ve been to. Thank you!

We visited last Tuesday evening (28th July 2020) the pub has an amazing location which backs onto the beach where you can sit and enjoy drinks and a meal whilst watching the sun go down. Sadly the service is dead slow and place is filthy dirty! Not once during our meal did anyone clean the tables - they were cleared of glasses and plates yes! but not cleaned once. The area where you walk through to the stairs (behind a shed) has grease stains on the decking (a good power-wash should fix this) I am originally from the area and was really disappointed by the lack of effort to maintain cleanliness during COVID .....having said all of that, the food quality was good.

We visited on a Friday lunchtime at the end of July. The set up at the back of the Vic seems to work well for both social distancing and outdoor drinks with a lovely sea view. We had a couple of drinks and ordered a wrap each with fries. The Chicken wrap I had was very nice and the Prawn & Chives wrap my Fiancee had was equally as good, so I was told. The fries were the star or the show though, really tasty, crisp and full of flavour, with a salty topping. Very nice. It would’ve been a 5 star review, but the food wasn’t up and running, despite being advertised, when we first ordered, and we weren’t informed as promised when it would be. Our lunch was worth the wait though. It’s clear it’s a strange time for both staff and customers, with the COVID situation, but you can see the staff at the Vic are working hard, and we were made to feel welcome on several visits over the week.

Spent a gorgeous day in the beach with lovely weather, as me and my family decided we were feeling peckish, we walked up to the Victoria Inn and decided to grab a bite to eat... as we walked around to the outside seating the smell of the freshly cooked food was amazing! We were greeted by lovey staff who were there to take our orders. When our food came the burgers were amazing!! My son loved his food also, but the burgers and wraps were just something else, all handmade and freshly prepared with gorgeous salad and lovely crispy fries! Can't wait for our next visit to the Vic!!

We arranged to meet my brother and his family, who had travelled to see us, for the first time since before lockdown, at the Vic. We arrived, having checked they were open and serving food for the Tuesday lunchtime service.We arrived at 1pm, they were open, and the bar staff were friendly and helpful BUT we were unable to order any food as the chef was on the phone and they didn't know how long for (it seems he'd been on the phone for some considerable time already). We ordered drinks, but when we went back to check 30 mins later, they still weren't allowed to take food orders. Shocking service from a pub during a busy lunchtime service time. Shocking service and disappointed as we were left wondering where to go. We decamped to the nearby Railway pub in the end, where the service was much better.

Where do i start. Absolutely terrible place. I have used this place many times in the past through stopping off with running groups etc (never again!). Today was there with family and waited over one hour for service, when a waitress finally came over to tell our group of five adults that the chef was busy on the phone? this went on for another half hour, when she returned and stated he had been on the phone all morning. Terrible attitude and communication between the staff there. Went to the Railway instead which was amazing. Will be taking our parties of runners and family members there from now on. In my opinion it looks like the Vic is closing down!

Really nice and well priced food. I had the Vic burger which was a great choice and my wife went for the vegetarian burger, which I tried and couldn’t fault. Good beer, friendly service and a great atmosphere. I’m sure we will be back.

Although I live locally I'd never eaten here before. The reviews on here encouraged me to try it today and I was very glad I did. I had the beetroot and walnut burger with a pesto dressing in a brioche bun, which came with chips and onion rings. The burger was melt in your mouth delicious and my only regret is that the portion was so generous I just couldn't finish everything on my plate. There wasn't an enormous veggie selection on the menu but when the quality is this good I don't mind. Service was friendly and efficient and the price was reasonable.

I have a regular Thursday lunch date with a friend, one week in Borth and the next week in Aber, today we ate at The Victoria Inn. Usual story, 15 minutes of gossip before ordering, my friend who loves the 5 bean chilli jacket potato decided to have the sausage and mash for a change, when it arrived not only was it a darn good portion it smelled amazing and I mow wished I had ordered the same, my lunch waa as lovely as always but I did have serious food envy. Definitely my next choice when we are next there. Highly recommended. PS the table service was very much appreciated.

Not a big menu choice, but the meals and plates were hot, good choice of vegetables, but no mash, shame. Typical dessert menu, which could be enhanced by traditional puddings which have all but vanished. Friendly service, good range of beers, however the restaurant was crammed with tables and chairs, the venue having several floors. Early days for the new owners, good luck.

Lovely traditional pub with very nice food and lots of choice at a reasonable price.We visited on a wet December day time and enjoyed a nice coffee by the warm wood burner. The dog enjoyed stretching out And sleeping in front of it!Nothing was too much trouble for the people working there.The fish and chips we opted for were a tasty treat.

Had another chance to visit here a couple of weeks ago. We were just looking for a nice lunch. The service just like last time was so polite but friendly at the same time. I had the Moho bitter which was superb as always. My friend had the five bean chilli jacket potato which she has had before and enjoyed it more than last time. I thought I would have something simple so chose maple cured bacon and cheese ciabatta and what was meant to be a nice simple meal turned into an absolute delight. Who knew that bacon could taste like that! Extra cheese was not a problem and the salad was lovely. I am not a huge fan of chips but it has to be said I think they are the best I gave ever tasted. Keep it up guys. Can't wait to enjoy our Christmas lunch.

The Bar Staff could not have been more friendly or efficient and the food was of a very good standard. The downstairs decor is a little uninspiring but the seats are comfortable and the room warm.

After years of eating in the village I was forced for the first time to return a meal and ask for a refund,this was because the Sunday lunch I was served was terrible,upon finding out the chef that cooked that day no longer worked there I returned and ordered a Sunday lunch,the man behind the bar took my order to the kitchen and when he returned told me that the boss has told him to tell me that as IV complained before,if I don't like this one then "that's it" I asked him to clarify what he means and he explained to me that if I don't like this meal then I'm not welcome to eat at this pub anymore..I have been served for from perfect meals at this pub in the past but have always just given honest feedback and tried to help the kitchen know what they are doing wrong,I have only ever once asked for my money back so I was so shocked to receive such terrible attitude,the meal come and it was very very good,just a terrible shame about the service

Wettest holiday ever! Found this pub - wasn't prepared for stunning sea views from rear patio.Good value food and beer. I had fish and chips, well cooked, huge piece of fish. Staff were friendly, but not American "in your face" style. Would be nice if they looked a bit smarter, but I would happily revisit and reccomend.

Popped to cardigan and started looking for some food, as we were about to give up the wife saw an A frame for this pub so I looked it up on Tripadvisor. Mostly positive reviews but one caught our eye moaning nearly every table had a dog at the table. Our sort of place. Upon entering I laughed out loud at the sight of 3 large leonbergers that were beautifully behaved behaved (our little dachshund said his thoughts at the giants in front of him but settled). Onto the food, drink and staff. No complaints at all (they do need to fix the speaker near the toilets as it’s blown and makes a low level brr noise to the music but that’s minor) I had the fish and chips as I never order that in a pub and fancied it and my wife ordered a burger. Both were really tasty (the burger was an impressive thickness) All in all happily recommend (other dogs turned up during our stay, never trust a reviewer that doesn’t like dogs lol
