Victoria Tavern in Barrow-in-Furness

Food and staff all round amazing. Greeting with smiles and kids get a welcome to there just amazing all should get a recommendation

The 2 staff members that were working they were lovely, friendly and nothing was too much trouble, take the time to talk to you. They are Sammy and Leanne. Mark who cooks the food is brilliant food always nice when he cooks.

Having just been diagnosed with Coeliacs disease I was nervous about eating out, I needn't have worried, they have a separate menu with gluten free food, discussed my needs with the staff and they are so well informed. The food was lovely and my meal came out last and on its own to stop cross contamination. We'll done Vic Tavern and Greene King

Fabulous traditional little place. Great food. Friendly staff, excellent service. We will definitely return and recommend to friends.

Great meals atmosphere is very good always pleasant staff and helpful as I'm disabled and always well looked after thank you

Great Friday night, karaoke on and fab drinks prices. Not too busy which was nice, staff were lovely and friendly.

Lovely staff always go out way to help. Great food and have kids machines keep them happy too. Fantastic little pub 😀

Visiting the UK for the first time and stumbled upon this place. It was a great place. Food was great, staff friendly and attentive. Would definitely go back my next trip through! I absolutely loved it.

Visiting the UK for the first time, and stopped in here after multiple recommendations. Will be stopping here again before I go! Great place, marvelous staff, great ambiance.

Great place!!! Food was great, staff friendly and attentive. Would definitely go back my next trip through!!!

A fun spot filled with warmth and joy. There is a lot of love being poured into every element of this place and it shows. Good service, good food, good atmosphere. 10/10, would frequent again.

The place is really nice, the food is delicious and I liked the service as well. I went by myself so I could pay attention on those things.

Came here a few months ago on my vacation from the states, went twice, actually. First time was for drinks to unwind after a day of rest, the next was for some nibbles and drinks after a rather long day of sightseeing - didn't order a full meal but several plates of appetizers. There was nothing about this place that I didn't love. Super friendly staff, great service for both food and drinks. Very relaxed and fun atmosphere, really, *really* good food, drinks were absolutely perfect. Even the customers were super friendly and made me feel welcome (I'm pretty sure some were regular visitors)! Definitely a place I will be visiting again on my next trip to the UK. If someone's looking for a nice place to unwind and relax after a long day, this is definitely a place you'll want to go.

SIGN OUTSIDE "WARM WELCOME"??????????????????????????????????? BARMANS FACE, LIKE SLAPPED B/ SIDE ,EFFORT TO SERVE. ALL LIGHTS ON, NO WONDER- WALLPAPER/PAINT WORK, MAKE THE PLACE DEPRESSNG AND DARK! AS IS THE AMBIENCE. "could be so much better"

We were visiting the area and didn't know where to go. We went on Trip Advisor and decided to try The Victoria Taven. Yes, it is a chain but the food was generous, hot, satisfying and very well presented. We had mac n cheese and a cheese & potato pie. The service was excellent and the relaxed atmosphere added to an extremely pleasant evening.

Not the same without Paul, atmospheres changed for the worst. Never enough staff anymore and wait time is shocking. Will not come again!

Had a fantastic meal here food was lovely paul the manager was very attentive made sure everything was good for us he is definitely an asset to the pub couldn't fault anything will definitely return .

Live band on which were really good, staff still attentive even though busy and a really good atmosphere

Went with my family for a meal, service was excellent throughout, good selection of adult and children’s meals all really good value for money.

Me and my family came for dinner, fit us in last minute (table for 5), serves was great very polite, food came hot-portions were good size, burgers were next level greatness. Would defo recommend

Went to the Vic for a meal with friends from work there was 9 of us we were served promptly the food was brilliant and deserts were delicious all the staff were very friendly great atmosphere will definitely be back again .

Food was really good the steak was cooked to our liking and the service was quickand .bar staff friendly.

Fantastic really really nice great service ;) pool table felt well sick and good darts are smashing!

Well what can I say… came for a pint with a friend on a Monday evening and was given 5* entertainment. Brian’s back must be absolutely killing caring the vic tav pub. Keep up the good work #magicmondays.

Come here on a weekly basis, food good valve for money and always tasty. Friendly atmosphere and staff always very helpful. Highly recommend!

Went for our works Christmas meal, excellent service from Nathan from booking to leaving. All staff were very friendly.

Always eat here with the family, great food, great price & the staff are always friendly! Cheery pleasant atmosphere, we will definitely be back soon!

Went to the Victoria Tavern for the Festive Fayre and it was a really pleasant experience. The staff were friendly and attended to our every need even though they were extremely busy. The food was lovely and would definitely recommend a visit. Very reasonably priced...

Had a fab tea at the Vic tonight - food was delicious, fab service and reasonable price. Plenty of veggie and vegan options too if that’s your thing.

Went here 22/10/21 WOW ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC steak cooked to perfection and the create your burgers were amazing!!! Staff made the night even more enjoyable couldn’t of done enough 10/10 I would recommend this place to anyone

We have just enjoyed a dinner time meal at the Vic. The signature burger was immense, better than one we had at TGI Fridays recently. The new menu is brilliant well worth a try. Paul and the team always make you welcome, the Vic is...

Fantastic standard from Paul & team couldn’t help us enough during our two visits over the may bank holiday weekend. 1) social distancing & abiding my the government rules was in place at all times in the pub 2) friendly service nothing was ever to much 3) drink served quickly & tasted lovely 4) food was immense Will be returning ASAP Thanks Paul & Team for the wonderful job you are doing during this difficult time A*&5* for everything Thank you

Been told to use the app to order, when used we did not receive, waited an hour for my first drink. Also had one drink in the space of two hours. I understand covid can play a part in this, but still abit of a joke

Paul and team are very welcoming and friendly, all social distancing and the the tavern is clean. Plenty of choice on the menu, we had the Christmas meal which was very tasty, have eaten before here and never been disappointed, thanks

The landlord of the pub made me and my boyfriend feel very welcome. He kept checking on us and we are obviously not from the local area but treated us like he would the locals. Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable.

Very Family friendly pub and staff were really polite. Food was very nice and it was very reasonably priced. Would definitely go back again.

Brilliant, friendly staff, good service, food was quick, followed the COVID system well, clean, family friendly!

I have been i barrow visiting for three weeks and visited a few different places for lunch, i came to the victoria with family for lunch last week and was very impressed, the lady that served us on the bar was rather busy but she still couldnt do enough for us, (sam maybe if i remember correctly) was so polite and knew her knowledge when serving us at the bar asked if we needed any extras when serving our food to our table and when collected plates asked if there was anything else we would like including desserts, she had a conversation with us and made us feel so welcome. Nice to see that the customer service was definitly a top priority to the staff here food was great and really good value for money and we will definitely be returning and recommending to friends and family

Having walked into the establishment I greeted my friends then went to the bar ordered a drink while I was at the bar a friend of mine was waiting to order some food.At which point I said I need to look at the menu to be told they’re not taking any more orders because the cook said if they do he’s walking So either Greene King need to pay there staff a decent wage or the staff need to understand who pays there wages

Excellent staff, very friendly. Lauren goes above and beyond. Good food, good laugh and cheap beer..

Good friendly pub, snooker table, pool and darts. Nice atmosphere, good service. Only 1 cider on tap but thats not worth losing a star over

Lauren is the best barmaid ever! Fun friendly and full of life 10/10 😁 wouldn't have her any other way 😁

I have frequented the Victoria Tavern for many years, and can honestly say that since Paul has taken over, the place has never been so good! Paul is super friendly and accommodating and this clearly rubs off on the staff too because they are very attentive and knowledgeable. The place is always spotlessly clean and the beer is bang on point, especially the real ale. The food is excellent value for money and always served promptly. This pub has needed this for many years. Well done Paul’s and team.

Not sure how long you need to stand at a bar to get served when there is no one in but over 10minutes is not the answer!! Bar staff are awful!! Not sure they fully comprehend what working behind a busy bar means but playing on your phone doesn't quite cut it!! Could be a good place but get some staff that know how to work a bar!!!

John and Mark, very good barmen, much appreciated by their service, very friendly and welcoming! Seem to have the bar under control at all times, busy or not. 10/10 service

Dinner time, nearly empty bar....takes 30 minutes for a portion of chips 🍟 to arrive 😴. Good dart 🎯 board.

Fui con amigos para el menú festivo. Fue un gran valor, elija 2 o 3 cursos. Todos optamos por 3! La comida era muy buena y muy caliente. El servicio fue excelente. Si está buscando celebrar la temporada festiva sin romper el banco, le recomiendo ir a "The Vic".

Al llegar, nos recibió un árbol de Navidad que parecía haber sido arrastrado a través de un seto hacia atrás (ver foto 1). ¡Cómo se pretende atraer a la gente para que reserve el día de Chritmas aquí es solo una broma!

You know it’s bad when the bars fairly quiet, there’s numerous staff behind the bar, but it still takes an eternity to get a drink 😴

Las imágenes a continuación están destinadas a ser sobresaliente y huevo con chips.

Eat here most weeks but recently the food has gone right down hill, plate sizes have gone smaller and portion sizes also cut back but quality of the food has gone right down hill, shame as the pub side is really busy all the time with an excellent friendly atmosphere and the bar staff really put the effort in

Popped in here on a reasonably busy Friday tea time for a few drinks and a bite to eat Excellent service with speed and a smile

Reservamos una mesa para 2: 30 Llegamos a las 2: 15 No había ninguna mesa lista esperó para ordenar cuando las carnes llegaron después de esperar 45 minutos. El puré estaba frío. Se quejó se llevó la comida. Trajo de vuelta la comida un poco más caliente. La imagen de la cena del asado en el menú muestra guisantes y zanahorias con brócoli. Solo obtuvimos guisantes y zanahorias. La otra comida de bistec y papas estaba bien.

Never lets you down this place. Always great food and always plenty of choice of sports on the many Tv's scattered around. Beer prices are OK and always friendly customers.

Went here for a drink and to taste one of their puddings which we were told were very good only to have to wait nearly an hour for 4 puddings and they came 1 at a time. Went to complain only to be met with the mist obnoxious member of staff you could ever meet. The waitress didn't know if it was new year or new york either. Very disappointing experience. Maybe a bit of customer service training is required.

En primer lugar, me gustaría decir qué tan educados son los empleados. Llegamos el sábado por la noche y estaba muy ocupada. La señora que nos atendió (creo que se llamaba Samantha) fue muy amable y no pudimos pedir un mejor servicio. nos sirvió en el bar para llevar nuestra comida, se aseguró de que tuviéramos todo lo que necesitábamos, volvimos y verificamos que todos estuviéramos contentos con nuestra comida, ella tenía mucho que hacer, así que estuvo bien que se asegurara de que nuestra visita fuera lo mejor puede ser, es bueno ver que algunos empleados del bar todavía tienen el servicio de atención al cliente correcto, gracias Samantha por una visita fantástica y definitivamente regresaremos cuando esté en Barrow

Excelente comida y bebidas muy limpias y ordenadas. 5 de 5 ocupados por una noche de jueves.

Visit the Vic tavern on a semi regular basis. Staff friendly and polite.

It's OK. By no means the best but good value for money. Staff were nice and friendly and the service was efficient.

Attended Sunday 24/06/18 to watch the England game. Arrived nice and early as I knew it would be busy. Managed to get a seat near one of the many TV's. Food arrived very promptly. We ordered Gammon and Egg and also the steak and ale pie and both were really good. We were able to order 4 pint jugs which made it much easier because it was extremely busy. The pub was brilliantly decorated with all the countries flags and on the tables England flags, wigs and inflatable hands has been given out for free to add to the atmosphere which was amazing.

My friend and I had a lovely meal today, the staff too our order straight away it arrived hot but took ages and it wasnt busy. Staff are lovely

have been to restaurant on numerous occasions either with just my wife or family birthdays.food always excellent, staff go out of their way to be helpful.all of this and at a price that is so commpetative.

The route 66 burger is my fav burger by far from lots of places I've been to. Always have lovely food and the staff are very helpful, we come here often for a group catch up.

Great food, great beers, friendly staff. Been here for a meal endless amounts of times and most of the times it's been a good experience. Plenty of variety, great deals and excellent value for money.

The staff at the Victoria are friendly and welcoming. Our food was hot, tasty and well presented. Great value for money. We are always happy to enjoy a meal here.

Everything that makes a pub decent prices, friendly staff, good traditional pub grub and a wide selection of beer, plenty TVs for football and all the traditional pub games couldn't fault it.

Very consistent here .... food is always good and always comes promptly ..... drinks are much better priced when you can use your season ticket .... nice busy pub with friendly bar staff .... plenty of tv screens for watching the sport on

We went this afternoon, and enjoyed a hot, tasty meal in a warm, friendly environment. The staff made us feel welcome and service was prompt and efficient.

Visited on Sunday and pub was nice and busy. Ordered Gammon and Eggs and Scampi and Chips. AT LONG LAST all the upselling has stopped and you can order a meal without the barrage of questions trying to get add on sales. I just hope...

This recently refurbished pub / restaurant, although part of a chain, provides an excellent choice of menus. The food is very good and the servers are all friendly. I have been for lunch several times and the standard has been maintained. There is a bar...

We have just enjoyed another great meal, at the Victoria. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our table of 4 ordered different main meals, but they all arrived at the same time. All the food was hot and well presented. It was a great birthday...

Waited an hour for food, enquired when it would come and got rude response and then no answer - so...

Hadn't been in this pub for a while but went for a drink on a Saturday afternoon. There was sport...

No tengo quejas sobre el huevo y las patatas fritas que pedimos sobresaliente y una agradable luz pinta de coors. Lo que hace mi cabra y claramente mis comentarios anteriores no han sido tomadas a bordo por la administración es el exagerado sobre tácticas de ventas añadir excesiva. . . El personal del bar son. como robots entrenados. . . . Entrantes o compartir. Cualquier platers para ir con su comida? Nada más pudding, etc. y luego ya la comida se llevaron a que se comienza de nuevo. . . . algo más. . . Cualquier bebidas, etc.

myself and family went to the local pub today for Sunday lunch 6 in total and 1 child we all had something different from the main menu and yes you do get a lot of food for your money. eaten here before and always been good and hot it cost £40 including drinks and was all served fast. thanks

En la última fui en mi habitual y pedimos huevos y patatas fritas y sobresaliente no fue bombardeado con las habituales preguntas de ventas. añadir . . . quieres una fuente compartir con eso, etc.. Espero que mis comentarios anteriores. Se han observado y accionada por la administración

It was an enjoyable visit, lovely well run pub made all the more special by the young girl behind the bar who served me, her name was Lauren and from first taking my order to delivering it to table to removing she was extremely pleasant and took every opportunity to sell me something extra, I did buy extra Garlic bread :).

Went here wit a friend we go out each weekend and are trying various pubs.This is our 3rd on the trot.Football days should be avoided if you do not like lots of noise.The pub was packed but still managed to get served in reasonable time.Quality and value was good.First place Ive been in a long time with such good staff.

Nipped in on my own after work as I couldn't be bothered to cook. The food as always was good - had Gammon and egg and a pint of cider ...My gripes are as follows I ask to order some food and give them the table number ... then the add on sales kick in from the person serving me Would you like any starters or sharing platters to go with that .... Er no I'm on my own why would I want a sharing platter .... if I wanted any starters I would have asked for them before ordering my main !!! I know they are only doing what they are trained to say but jeez it's so annoying Also 3 different people literally within 60 seconds came over to ask me if everything was ok with my people and 2 of them kicked in with the add on sales ... would you like any more sauces or drinks? Er no if I want another drink I'll order one when I've finished my meal Back off with the sales pitch .... people go in knowing what they want and DONT expect to be barraged with sales pitches

Service was good. Food was plentiful. We couldnt finish our mains after a double.combo starter. Nice atmosphere. Will use again and kids are welcome too - bonus

Didn't fancy cooking so popped in for gammon and egg with chipsI wasn't disappointed good size portion and well cooked Washed it down with pint of strongbow

visiting barrow on saturday night & was close to b&b - although busy managed to get a table - service quick & polite - had pint & meal - meal was tasty, hot (so was the plate) - locals friendly - would go back

Oh dear, we have been to the "Vic" as a family a number of times over recent years and always found the meals to be more than acceptable & good value .with good service to boot. unfortunately not so today .Of the 5 meals we had only 1 was without fault and that was the kids meal deal. without going into fine detail, the other 4 meals were just about ok, but you can't forgive the almost cold soggy chips we were served with 2 of the main meals. It wasn't as if it was all that busy. Service was much slower than on previous visits and the desserts took a further 26mins to arrive after ordering. It was also a new menu for the "Vic" or at least we had not seen it before ! and we felt not as good a choice as on previous ones. On the front of the new menu prominence is given to the fact that you can add a drink(pint) to a burger meal for £1 extra this is fine ,but if you are driving or don't drink and prefer a coke then you only get a half !! all in all a let down to say the least . We like the place, so we hope this review will help standards get back to where they were not so long ago!

Had a meal here with friends. It is family friendly and the food was cheap but not particularly tasty. You get what you pay for so i was not expecting excellent. However there are other places in town who do the same thing better in my opinion. It does seem to have a good following though and was full of locals so a good local pub and i can see why it is popular with the local community. The staff were friendly so if i lived nearer i am sure i would use it more as a meeting place but would i recommend eating there to friends with all the other options in town? No

A great pub and a great team All the sporting events shown live all food served is very reasonable and a great place to start your party night

Went to the Victoria Tavern Friday evening for food with my housemate, despite the place being really busy due to the FA Cup game playing, we got served quickly, the staff were polite and friendly and we didn't have to wait long for our food. The atmosphere was really good and the place was nice and clean.

I thought this pub would be a cool place to have an afternoon beer and watch a bit of football. Sadly the clientele were abusive to me, I almost ended up being punched unprovoked by a Barrow chav, and when I brought the issue up with the barman, all he could say was, "yeah we get a bit of that in here." embarrassed to have spent my money there.

Had been to a few pubs around barrow and finally found one with a good vibe good food and great atmosphere In a whole good value for money Staff friendly and helpful

Mein hosts at the Vic Tav, as it's colloquially known, are extremely welcolming, and well known for their love of live music, which they host on a regular basis. The food, as in nearly all pubs, is plain but very acceptable and, as it's also colloquially known, 'fills an 'ole'. Admirably.

Great staff - Adele, Chris and Sean. Always feel at home. Me and my husband and son love the classic burgers. They are epic. Fantastic value for money. Wouldn't go anywhere else for a burger.

So disappointed and misled by previous reviews. Cannot be said to be good value for money if you can't eat what is served. Coffee like ditchwater. Only saving grace was the staff who were friendly and efficient. Otherwise to be avoided.

Go here maybe once a week and its always same standard...excellent. Very cheap and nice food. Beats wacky or brewers fayre anyday

We eat here quite often and I always come away feeling nice and full. They have a huge choice of meals at exceptional value and great deals on a lot of them i.e free drink with meal. The place is spotlessly clean and the service is excellent. There is always a great atmosphere and the staff are friendly and helpful. The food is cooked to perfection and you get a decent portion. I would put this on my list of favourite places to eat and would definitely recommend it.

We have just returned from the Victoria (pre school term treat) and having eaten there a few times now, we can't quite figure out how they can offer such good quality meals for so little cost !! With all kinds of deals, including free drinks with some meals, kids meals, senior citizen meal deals ect ect.,there is something for everyone if you're on a budget or not. The menu has a good and varied selection of standard modern pub grub, but well cooked & of good quality with ample portions throughout . Being a family of 5 (2 adults,1 teen & 2 kids) the Victoria allows us to eat out in a proper community style pub with plenty of larger family or party tables to be seated at .Along with some outside seating,there are the traditional pub games on hand and sky tv, in both ends of the pub. A plentiful range of beers and spirits are available as you would expect from a Green King owned establishment. The staff, who can make or break anywhere, provide an excellent service throughout .It is always clean and welcoming with a good atmosphere as you would want. If you want a friendly local pub, either for a great value meal or just a drink I can happily recommend the Victoria in Oxford Street Barrow.

What can I say... amazing gorgeous and defo value for money cant wair to return. We got the steak sizzler and the chicken sizzler . We left happy and full cant wait to return
