Great pub and a local institution! The staff are friendly but I feel the food is not as good as it used to be. Limited vegan options and the one dish I could order was not great. My wife's prawn dish was way too spicy even though we said to leave out the chillies. I hope it will get better again as it used to be amazing for eating in.

The Sunday roast cost allot more than other local businesses but quality is great, was disappointed with the 2 roast potatoes that came with it so I complained and got a side bowl full of roast potatoes free… that’s what you call service ! Highly recommend

We booked a table for 8 last night. On arrival our table wasn’t ready. When we were finally seated the table & chairs were dirty. We placed our food order & then had to wait for 1 hour & 40 minutes. There was no apology or explanation for the delay. Whilst waiting we ordered drinks which we then had to collect ourselves from the bar. Twice we waited over 20 minutes for a couple of beers. When the food eventually arrived, it was disappointing. The fish & chips had to be sent back as it was dry & freezing cold. Having eaten at the pub on previous occasions, we were embarrassed to have recommended the place for an evening out. Whilst we understood that the place may have had staffing issues due to the Christmas holidays, the lack of care was unacceptable. To then have the audacity to take service charge was a disgrace. We’ll not be returning & I strongly advise you not to bother going.

Bonita bienvenida y mesa para la comida de Navidad pre-reservada en el comedor de arriba. Éramos un grupo de 9 adultos y niños y teníamos el menú de Navidad de 3 platos que tenía una buena selección de platos. Los entrantes eran buenos y el plato principal era agradable pero no espectacular (pavo asado con recortes). Los postres estaban bien, aunque me pareció muy poco inspirador, decepcionado por una capa de bizcocho seco no comestible. Las bebidas eran caras. Además, un ‘opcional’ 12. Se añadió un 5 % de cargo por servicio a la factura, que consideré un tanto excesivo en la friolera de 50 libras esterlinas. El servicio estaba bien, la camarera era amable y bastante atenta, pero realmente no me gustó la forma en que comenzó a quitar platos tan pronto como alguien terminó de comer, mientras que otros todavía no habían terminado. En general, una agradable comida familiar en un atractivo pub antiguo.

Went for Sunday roast with friends. Had to ask for condiments more than once, food eventually arrived and was seriously cold, like it had been set aside. Staff member was rude. Manager explained staff shortage, and was apologetic. I was starving but put off by the whole shoddy experience. We booked our Christmas do in October, Never again! 0/10. The atmosphere was bland too. Very dissapointed.

Sunday lunch was pleasant enough, but not great. You couldn't ask for how your roast beef was cooked, I prefer a bit pink, and mine came thinly sliced and well done. The roast potatoes were not crisp. Nothing seriously wrong just not as good as other places.

Somos visitantes habituales de la VS y hoy, decidimos pasar a tomar una copa y un bocado después de un paseo dominical por Alley Pally. Normalmente tenemos una experiencia bastante buena, pero hoy, definitivamente no fue el caso. Tanto es así, que me veo obligado a escribir una crítica (nunca antes! ) sobre el servicio de basura que recibimos. Hoy tenemos... Recepción indiferente, ni una sonrisa que tener del tibio 'jefe de equipo / gerente en la puerta. Generalmente no es la bienvenida que uno espera de los establecimientos que cobran precios de lujo en los bares gastronómicos de Londres. Dirigido a sentarse en una mesa, pero nos dijeron que solo lo teníamos para poco más de una hora, ya que estaba reservado a partir de las 5 pm. (más sobre esto más tarde! ) A continuación, mi hijo derramó su bebida, que al menos 2 miembros del personal de espera notaron, ambos se alejaron y se fueron para evitar tener que ayudarnos mientras buscábamos ayuda, luchando por contener el derrame y sarna su angustia. Finalmente vimos y le pedimos a otra camarera por algo de ayuda / pañuelos, etc. - ella se fue, pero no regresó a nosotros, solo para ser visto minutos después casualmente despejando otra mesa al otro lado del pub! Finalmente, el barman (los barman eran geniales) nos ayudó con azul - rollo cuando mi esposa pidió ayuda de nuevo en el bar, mientras que yo llevé a nuestro hijo al baño para limpiarlo. Para colmo, a las 4: ¡47 pm nos dice el "gerente" que dejemos nuestra mesa ya que la fiesta de las 5 pm había llegado temprano! Debidamente agradecimos y ahora no regresaremos. Qué pena y tan decepcionante. Supongo que el personal es predicado con el ejemplo y el equipo senior no es un gran equipo. Pagar los mejores precios por menos del servicio básico no lo corta en estos días. Hay muchas otras opciones para elegir, así que si usted está buscando una cálida bienvenida y un gran servicio, busque en otro lugar.

We had a pleasant meal here, mid-week. The place was relatively lively. The staff were friendly and courteous. The meals were good - we both had the schnitzel, which was great. The desserts were OK. I had what was described as "tiramisu" but was in fact more like a coffee cake. This is the only reason why I gave 4 rather than 5 stars. Otherwise, the experience was great.

Lovely food but very bad service. Had booked a table for 2 and was left waiting to be seated for around 10 minutes whilst being basically ignored by multiple members of staff. We had to catch two people’s eyes to be seated and even then they wandered off to find someone who could help seat us. We ordered the roast and the set menu deal is very good. Still waiting quite a while to get our order taken and had to ask for the bill after a while of trying to catch someone’s eye. We noticed two tables next to us with similar issues and so it did affect the atmosphere a bit as people were obviously frustrated.

Would have given five stars if it wasn’t for the service. Server who attended to us just looked like she did not want to work there; got the drinks order wrong, did not apologise for it, and when food took forever to arrive she did not apologise as well and have us some attitude for checking in on the order. Otherwise, the pub itself is cosy and lovely. We had roast on a Sunday and the food was good. Perhaps just bad luck for us on this day with service.

I had my wedding here, my God, the service they gave was just pathetic, I invited about 40 people, and ordered food for almost 80 people, because I wanted there to be an abundance of food, that is, in double portions, and a lot of drinks, and instead of bringing drinks and food on time, the waiters just stupidly looked and waited for something, almost 50% of what I ordered just went nowhere, food and drinks, the guests themselves asked the staff and begged them to serve them! Very poor organization of service, and in the end we managed to take some of the food with us, by the way, the cleanliness of this pub is also questionable! Useless waiters and useless service!!!

Hi All, It is my pleasure to offer my sincere praise to Ekin, who has served me a few times during the last couple of months and I have to say she is a top notch professional, always pleasant and spot on. I work in customer services as well and even moreso I appreciate such quality service. Needless to say, I love everything related to Victoria Stakes - the atmosphere, the music, the food, the spaces - and I am puzzled I hadn't become a regular way sooner, since I live in Muswell Hill. Congrats to everyone there and, for whoever might read this, if you're ever around Crouch End / Muswell Hill area, do stop by and you won't regret it. Bogdan

A generous 2 stars only for the manager eventually voiding our bill. We ordered 2 roast dinners and a starter. The starter came quickly and was fine. We then waited almost an hour for our mains and had to remind the waiting staff that we hadn't received our food, despite the place not being busy. When the food finally arrived, it was stone cold. As if it had been sitting out for 30 minutes and my partner had an item missing. No apology for the delay, no apology for the missing item, no apology for the cold food. We said we would be leaving without eating the food... and were then brought a receipt for our drinks. Still, without any customer service or apology. We took the recipet to ourselves the manager who told us we would not have to pay. Really terrible customer service.

The ambiance of the room was warm and bright - perfect to for a small to midsized wedding party. The food was delicious (many of our guests made a point to tell us so on the day and in the weeks afterwards), and the service was impeccable.

FANTASTIC FOOD FANTASTIC STAFF GREAT AMBIANCE! We hadn’t visited for a number of years but chose once again this wonderful pub to celebrate A small family birthday for Sunday lunch. We chose the roast beef and roast pork. Followed by the Rhubarb crumble. The difference with the cooking at Victoria Stakes is everything tastes home made. the meat was succulent, Yorkshire puddings delicious great thick gravy. The Rhubarb crumble, custard and ice cream was possibly the best we have ever eaten in any restaurant. chunky pieces of rhubarb and not too sweet ice cream also delicious. The chefs at this pub should be very proud of what comes out of their kitchen. Also should mention the staff from the lovely lady who welcomed us to our waiter who again was great. We were seated downstairs in the bar area but equally the back open area and upstairs looks just as inviting for guests as a place to dine. We shall be visiting again soon and as often as we can. Thankyou Victoria Stakes for making our lunchtime special!

The Vic Stakes is our local -- we've been coming here for four years. I even celebrated my 39th there. It's usually great. Went there tonight and clearly something is up with the staff. The waiter forgot almost all our entire order. My partners ordered soup -- the soup arrived with no spoon and we have to ask for one after waiting 10mins. I ordered fish and chips -- it never arrived. Went to ask 20mins later and the waiter apologised and said he'd forgotten to note it down. We have a 2-year old and the waiter originally asked if we'd like a child seat (he never brought it and I had to go get it after waiting 20mins). After my fish and chips finally arrived (my partner's soup was at this point long gone), the waiter asked if we'd like another drink -- we ordered two cocktails. 25mins later the cocktails still hadn't arrived and we had to leave. The waiter apologised again and said he'd again forgotten to note them, but that he wouldn't charge us for them (geez, so kind of you mate...). The pub wasn't even busy, so I can only assume management has gone AWOL. Really disappointed. Maynard Arms in Crouch End will now be our go-to pub.

Waiter forgot most of our meal. We ordered soup, he forgot to bring a spoon. He also forgot my fish & chips so my wife and I weren't able to eat at the same time. He asked if we wanted a high chair for our 2-year old -- we said yes; he never brought it. He then asked if we wanted more drinks; we ordered two drinks; he forgot to put them into the system. Then when we got the bill he had the audacity to say "I won't charge you for the drinks". What, you mean, you won't charge us for the drinks that never arrived? Service has really gone downhill at what used to be our local pub. We went there 6pm on Friday 26th Jan 2024 (if the owner who lives on Redston Road is reading this).

Two of our party of four were happy with their burgers. But two were vegetarian and only found out that they had run out of veggie mains. The waiting staff were nice but it was disappointing that the chef could only offer us chips or sides (green beans or patron peppers), and couldn’t even fry up an egg (which we suggested). We only learnt that there was not veggie meal after we bought a carafe of wine, which left us with no veggie meal options and lots to drink. New year's day is a busy time, I know, but if they had told us from the start we would have gone elsewhere. Lots of people are vegetarian or vegan, and it’s pretty poor that the chef didn’t seem to be concerned that he had not food to offer. Don’t come here if you are counting on having a vegetarian meal.

A sensational Sunday lunch. It isn’t cheap but I think 3 courses with table service for a little under £30 is good value these days if the quality is good, and it was. We were in the yard, the atmosphere is relaxed, if a little chilly. Staff were lovely. Only criticism was they were out of Timothy Taylor ale, a favourite. That said, the wine list is well chosen, serves by the glass for most of the list, and caters for most budgets. We opted for Sunday roasts, I had chicken, and my friends had roast beef and pork and both were happy. My chicken was two breasts, which while lovely I have to admit I would have preferred a half chicken with leg. But that’s a preference, not a complaint. Desserts were excellent.

Edited September 2023: Came here 2 times, First time having the salmon and it was the best salmon I ever had. I had high hopes for the pricey roast. However unfortunately it was very tasteless, apart from the actual meat according to my wife. The potatoes was not crispy and tasted old. I had the vegetarian roast and it was very bland, unfortunately and also very very dry. I had to have a lot of salt on it and used a whole extra gravy jug to soak it. Some honest feedback as well, with vegetarian Roasts, it's really weird when the roast is made of vegetables, pumpkin, sweet potato etc, all same texture, when the plate is filled with vegetables anyway. Just make a nice nut roast with nuts, mushrooms, cheese and eggs, to create a juicy piece of different thing to have to your vegetables. I'm not a vegetarian because I love vegetables or because I wanna be healthy, I just don't like eating animals. I think most veggies agree. The Victoria Stakes is definitely not the only Place that gets this wrong, if anything, 70% of the vegetarian Roasts I've had is bland and not nice. I was just a bit disappointed and would love to come back and change my rating when, if, you would consider another vegetarian alternative on the menu. Old review from me: We came and had the salmon main course. OH. MY. GOD. I think I dare to say it was the best salmon I've ever had. All 4 of us had the salmon and all 4 loved it. And we are all food snobs 🤣 only thing to mention, my wife Is allergic to avocado and she asked for it to be removed which was done but then the dish was alot smaller cos the avocado was one of the main ingredients in the meal. So would've been nice to have more of something else instead :) Thank you!! We will come back.

Ribeye was very sinewy... Onglet very tasty. All and all a very pleasant experience, but for the 30+ pound price, I would have expected a far better slice of ribeye. Service not bad...

Below average and over priced. We ordered a jug of sangria (£30) - full of ice and coco cola and couple slices of lemon. Fish and chips very average small piece of fish. Roast lamb was chewy. £92 total. Service terrible no smiles no help with the menu just pretty faces. Avoid.

Very pleased to see my favourite beer on draft; Tiny Rebel Clwb Tropica... but very overpriced at almost £7 a pint!

I've been here a few times for their fish and chips, which is really delicious! The service is fine but it's all about the food!

We enjoyed our visit, even though the roast beef was a little disappointing.

Nice atmosphere with the large windows letting light in but food and welcome were a letdown. Unenthusiastic welcome at lunchtime and food (chicken and cod) was bland. The chicken breast was very dry on two pieces of lettuce, lacking in flavour and sauce.

Went for Sunday lunch - although lovely starters, they sadly forgot our roast/ mains, which arrived around 45 minutes later and had clearly been quickly made. Have been here a few times, for drinks only before, and do find the service to be quite strange and awkward, sadly.

Disappointing to be served a pint of beer with such a large head that it is very clearly not a full pint when the froth settles. Didn't stay for a 2nd.

I found food and drinks to be overpriced and food portions small - it's okay if you are a small eater!

Dunn’s Bakery en Muswell Hill es excepcional. El personal es muy amable y profesional y el lugar se administra de manera eficiente, con un excelente sistema de boletos. He sido un cliente feliz durante años, pero compré un pastel de pan de terciopelo rojo para un cumpleaños la semana pasada. Estaba absolutamente delicioso y era perfecto para 8 porciones, así que buena relación calidad-precio. Bien hecho y gracias a los Panaderos!

Good array of food which is better than the normal Indian 'standard'
