The service from Max and Matthew was amazing! And even though it got busy, they were still kind. Me and my friend both got Mac and cheese and 1 coke each, and it costed almost £20, which is super cheap especially for the quality. Thank you Victoria Park Hotel for a wonderful experience!

In a pub down on Main, there’s a fellow named Lou, Who pours pints of lager and bitter, too. With a grin and a joke, he serves with flair, A true local legend, with messy brown hair. "Louis the Lad," the patrons all cheer, As he pulls on the taps and passes the beer. He’ll tell you a story, some tall and some true, About that one time he wrestled a kangaroo. He's quick with a quip, a master of mirth, Making you chuckle for all you're worth. He can juggle three glasses, while humming a tune, And balance a pint on his nose like a loon. His laugh is contagious, his charm off the charts, He’s the heart of the pub, in everyone's hearts. So come on down, have a pint or two, And say hi to Louis, the King of the Brew. If you're after a laugh and a top-notch ale, Louis’s your man, he’ll never fail. This pub’s a gem, a five-star delight, Thanks to Louis, who makes every night bright!

Staff went out of their way from start to finish to make sure all went smoothly and our needs were met. Food was excellent and plenty of it, more than enough to go around. Bar staff always available to serve us even through they were very busy, always polite and happy. We all had a lovely afternoon.

Attended a wake today and have to say the buffet was fab. Sandwiches were the freshest I’ve ever had and the cheese biscuits were gorgeous. Nice selection of food and it was plentiful. The two ladies behind the counter were fab too. Every efficient and very nice natured, chatty and knowledgeable. Felt sorry for the one lass as she was making the tea for our group and their machine isn’t up to scratch. She did her best in fairness to her and she never once showed signs of frustration in the number of teas ordered. We all felt for her as it certainly wasn’t her fault. Pull your finger our Victoria Park bosses, the girls badly need a new tea/coffee machine. Would highly recommend this place for a function. Well done 👏

I recently stayed on a weekend. The hotel location is great, very central. On arrival the air con console wasn’t working, so we contacted reception. Nothing happened but we were promised an engineer when we spoke to the front desk. There was no resolution to the problem. We Went for a drink in the bar but the service was virtually non existent. The bar was filthy and had to wait at an empty bar for a long time. Definitely not worth the price or meeting expectations.
