Victory Inn in Rochford

Booked the festive fayre menu, even spoke to staff about pre ordering the food, did everything they said then an hour before our booked time they phoned and said you can't have the food because I filled the form in wrong even though they had told me what to do...extremely disappointed with them also have a very upset special needs/autistic son who had been looking forward to it!

We have visited before, and had a meal there. It was really nice. This time though, all the tables had cards with reserved written on them. This has happened before, on a different week night. It is a very busy pub.

Popped in for senior lunch . Service quick and Sonya our server was very pleasant. Sadly chicken was a bit dry but refund or different meal was offered with apologies . Had lovely replacement, served with a smile. Very good experience.

Off to a great start when they got my drink wrong. Ordered the pie and when asked if everything was ok told them the top of my pie was brick hard as it was burnt. All I got was an ok I’ll speak to kitchen staff no apology no follow up nothing. Went to the toilet and sat down only for the seat to move. As a disabled person this is very concerning. Washed my hands and the dryer is not working. So very disappointed as I’ve been here before although not eaten it’s definitely gone down hill.

Must say another great quiz night from Alison last night, she’s fun & has a great attitude, never fails to deliver a fun quiz . An entertaining evening for all ages followed by play your cards right. Nice to see it busy & great atmosphere. Girls on the bar doing a great job too. Well done victory

Millie and Abbey served us all night they were absolutely brilliant. No job or request was too big and service with a smile. Such a good night we will defo be back thanks girls

Another fabulous quiz night by Alison We just need to improve ours answers to move up the leaderboard Very friendly people taking part , all feel welcomed

Didnt eat .But looked nice. Great guiness

Food was good and very reasonably priced.

Ok not eaten in here but have popped in for a drink. Will be going back again.

Just popped into the Victory for a bit of lunch as we heard it was under New Management. The food was very lovely, well priced and Sonya our server was an absolute delight.

Long wait for below average food, and fairly uninterested service. Won’t be back and won’t recommend.

Great food and service tonight from Phoebe. Thank you!

First visit today for a friends 40th, so ladies with kids (who had lots to keep them entertained under our supervision). We were greeted on arrival by Sonya and another young lady, both were very friendly and talkative and genuinely interested in having a conversation with us. Kids had lunch and I was surprised by the portion size. Great value for money and served hot! The only downside today was the wait for the kids desserts but Sonya was great. She spoke with the kitchen team to get them out. Its understandable when they were fairly busy and definately didn't spoil our afternoon. Thank you very much. We will be returning!

Today we arrived to the victory ordered our wine and food.. once the food came out we both instantly looked at each other and agreed it didn’t look very appealing. We called a lady over who was Millie and she took a look at the food and instantly agreed, apologised and took it away! She offered us a refund and was very apologetic. Later on our table received a sharing platter that Millie had said she made herself to make up for the inconvenience. She was so helpful and very kind and we will be returning purely on the basics that she was our waitress for the night. She went above and beyond!

Live round the corner from this place. So it's a right result that it's an enjoyable pub to go to! All the staff work really hard no matter the pressure they are put under! The place has nice atmosphere and has a beer garden prefect for the summer and families with children. They also have some sort of entertainment on every month! Give the place a try.

Great value, good food, excellent service. Just need to clear the litter from the garden. We will be back soon. Great steak and ale pie.

Working in the area popped in for food and a few beers with my work colleague . The 2 young ladies were very plight and very friendly.

Went with my family as alway and normally it is lovely and friendly there but not this time.. Had over an hr wait for food and all come out cold and my daughter had nuggets and they were hard and cold in the middle and the next day she was so unwell.. and then asked to leave as now children are not aloud in there after 9.30 as before when Alison was there kids were welcome as it’s a family pub.. the garden was messy and glasses everywhere and it wasn’t even busy and there was things hanging of the wall and just looked really run down and normally the staff great you as you go in and very helpful but just seems like it’s a different pub now

After 1hr of waiting for a sharer meal, they still hadnt started cooking it. Pub was empty , disgraceful , useless . Walked out , never again

Didn't have the drinks we wanted. Sent out the wrong food.

Excellent food and service by Sonya. We will be back

Food was spot on, good service From Sonya everything was perfect! Would definitely recommend for a pub grub, will be coming back here

Lovely pub, great for families with large garden/play area! Been many of time to this pub being our local, and will continue to do so! Alison goes above and beyond for customers. Food is absolutely delicious too 😋

Lovely one of the best pies I have ver had and the staff are so lovely nothing was wrong with the meal and are sever was lovely. I eat here

The service is always amazing in this pub, the food is good pub grub and the atmosphere is always friendly

Just met for lunch with my wife, mum and brother.... Had a lovely warm welcome from Alison the manager. I had the Katsu chicken curry... Absolutely lovely... Pub was very clean and had a great atmosphere... Will be coming again soon

We needed a large area of the pub for around 20 family and Alison was incredibly accommodating , checking in with me on numbers and what everyone may like to order etc, everyone enjoyed the food , lovely place to take the family , lovely job Alison ! Xx

Took the family for a meal today, service was great with a smile and cleared an area in the garden for 9 of us. Very friendly would definitely go back

Friendly service, food was good alway a warm welcome great place to meet friends

Came in for a pint after work for first time. Beer was cold and food was hot. Just what was needed. Asked about football. Manageress Alison reserved us a table. Staff amazing food was bang on. Shame about England football team. Definitely recommend

Food was excellent and the beer garden is lovely in the summer sun ! This is our regular and we always visit on the weekend as a family. Would certainly recommend it.

Friendly staff, good service, nice food/menu. Good atmosphere. Keep up the good work Alison.

Great Service, Food always tip top as usual and supplied quickly even during the Euros, friendly atmosphere from everyone around. Most importantly served by the lovely Alison the owner.

Mediocre food. Very quite, staff just stood chatting with each other behind the bar. Unable to serve tea or coffee as no milk available!

Came tonight to try the new menu and all the food was absolutely amazing. 10/10 such a good selection of food something to suit everyone. As always staff very friendly

Went for dinner last week and tried the new katsu chicken burger, food was amazing and staff were amazing as always x

We held a 70th birthday party 🎈 at The Victory Inn ✌️ Amazing 👏 on all counts x Party 🥳 loved by all x Thank you so much to Allison and the team who worked on the day 💙

Love it here and now the nice weather is coming can’t wait to go in the garden with my family, the staff are always welcoming and friendly and happy to help any way they can nothing is to much bother

Great family pub, excellent outside area, Alison always goes above and beyond! Highly recommend!

Alison and team are fantastic. Came in this afternoon with the family and had a lovely time. Staff friendly, bar snacks and food great. Friendly and family friendly pub.

6.20 for a pint and my blue cheese burger had no blue cheese 🤷‍♂️

Went here with friends. It is a big old pub upto date decor. Great service very friendly and attentive staff. Typical pub grub at a good price

Brilliant food very nice staff will go again 😀

Fantastic Senior menu - 3 generous courses for £7.99 👍🏼

Staff and landlady went out of their way to produce great food, drinks and hospitality. Also dog friendly, very welcoming will definitely come back 😀

Was visiting the area and called in at Victory Inn for a bite to eat and a drink. There was a good atmosphere, ordered a roast dinner and a pint, service was great and food was lovely. Would definitely recommend.

I visited this pub for the first time with some friends to celebrate a friends surprise 70th birthday party. It was a great afternoon, the staff were excellent & the service was brilliant, considering this pub was extremely busy! I hope that in the future to visit this pub again.

Ordered rump steak for 4 of us, but then told only had sirloin, which was fine, however everyone’s steak was very fatty and full of grizzle. Customer service was awful, staff would rather lounge over the bar than check if everything was ok with our food, never cleared our plates or told us kitchen closed at 9, so wasn’t given the opportunity to order a dessert. There was prob a maximum of another 10 people in the bar, no excuse for bad service.

Amazing atmosphere, always friendly. Fantastic food.

Basic pub food but it has a lovely play area for the kids out the back will visit again

Alison and team are fantastic! 13 of us for food all came out on time hot and tasty quick drinks, great atmosphere and just an all round lovely pub! Great to have it here in Rochford

Dinner was lovely! Drinks were also quick and good value! Great staff and great atmosphere so lucky to have this pub! Love coming here every time

Half a menu Very poor even for cheap meal Could be such a great pub as it used to be Cock has same menus much better execution

As always a friendly and happy visit! A great local pub with a good atmosphere. Bring the family in often and all enjoy it!

Visited on Saturday for beers & England Rugby game with friends. Wow… very busy & only 2 members of staff just like a normal day, Blonde Alison was an absolute trooper as witnessed her on her own! Saw many people leave, no fear of getting drunk in here! I would recommend checking beforehand the sporting diary before choosing this venue ! Such a shame as previous visits were great. The manager needs to address this or many more disappointed drinkers !!!

Alison is lovely and couldn't do enough to accommodate our large table at the last minute.

We booked a table on the 8th February for our Shanleys 10th birthday at 5.30 for 12 people just wanted to say Ali was fantastic from the start very welcoming the staff were great food was lovely would definitely recommend and will be returning soon thank you 👍🏻

We went for rock and roll bingo that DJ jack does last Friday we had a brilliant time, the atmosphere in the pub was great and it was packed great to see something different that no one else is doing in the area and to make it even better all the money goes to charity. It really makes a change and Jack did a fantastic job. Everyone was really enjoying themselves I’m looking forward to the next one already can’t wait to book will make this a regular thing so please keep it up well done Jack you did amazing.

Went for a meal at lunchtime for 4 people absolutely lovely clean pub . Excellent service very friendly and welcoming. Food was really nice and very reasonable. We will certainly be returning again. I highly recommend. Thanks for a lovely visit.

Thank you to Alison and Kevin and all the team, for making our family so welcome on Christmas Day. Our three course Christmas dinner was delicious. There is something for everyone at The Victory - a warm welcome, good food, entertainment nights and a sunny garden and play area. See you again soon.

A friendly family pub . We go all the time with our children very accommodating for all . Lovely food and very friendly staff . Alison is great friendly and always so lovely to pop and see x

Great pub, great service and a fantastic atmosphere. Alison and Sam are extremely welcoming and provide great service!

Lucky to have this pub in our community, foods good, and staff are always friendly and efficient! Keep up the good work

Lovely katsu curry as always and amazing service from Sonya with that big smiley face and warm welcome.

Our first visit to the Victoria Inn and we really enjoyed the friendy service and the food. Salt & Pepper squid for starters was good and the Steak & Ale Pie excellent. Looking forward to going back again soon!

Was here for Christmas Dinner, which was passable. Parsnips weren't really cooked. I had an alcohol FREE gin and Sprite - £8.50! Extortionate price!!!!!!!!!!

Superb food the Katsu curry amazing as always and would recommend to everyone. Service from Sonyia was first class and with a big smile and very inviting. Will be returning again very soon thankyou

A lovely family pub who make you feel welcome. We came here as a family for food whilst a football match was being shown (we hadn’t realised prior but glad we went). The staff were fantastic, they were extremely accommodating (my youngest has a rare syndrome) and despite being busy they ensured we had a seat, brought us over some ice cream for him, asked if they could do anything else for us with a smile. Also to note - all others in there were friendly and made us feel welcome with the atmosphere - they also have a play area and garden out the back which is great for children Highly recommend

What a friendly pub,obviously lots of regulars but made to feel welcome. Food was good and piping hot. Can't wait to come back for quiz and entertainment 🤪

Great staff, great atmosphere, great place all round to watch sports live. Always welcoming. They play every premier league game and rugby match. Drinks are reasonably priced. Look forward to the next visit!

We've lived round the corner from this pub for a long time but only recently started come back here. The new manager Allison has a done a great job in making a nice welcoming pub, the food is always great just sad they recently updated the menu and don't do my favorite burger any more. The staff are always polite, happy and pour a good pint.

Stopped here for a bite to eat and the food was brilliant with wide variety for everyone. Customer service was friendly and definitely recommend for anyone.

Friendly pub with great food, great selection of drinks and a great atmosphere. Staff are very friendly and welcoming will definitely be returning in the near future.

The lady that run the pub was very rude when trying to order and seemed like she had no patience. Wouldn’t come again for food, such a let down! Rolling her eyes to other people because we was ordering at 7:58, Seriously not impressed! Not approachable at all! Don’t recommend.

Owner was VERY rude when ordering. Everything is a big deal to her. She has no interest in helping people and dealing with orders.

I love the interiors and atmosphere, Friendly staff, food is above average, we did come here early afternoon but can imagine it will only improve with more customers later in there day, There is a garden which provides a well equipped play area, Really enjoyed our lunch and will come again

Once again it was relaxing and the food was great 👍nice menu selection and everything we chose was as good as the last. tonight we had starters and just melted in your mouth ..truly lovely.

Absolute wonderful pub, I was here with my family and was made to feel so welcome and the staff are brilliant

Alison , milly , Amy , samara , Alison were great host , very friendly and caring to your needs , can’t wait to return, food great, bring on Christmas dinner :))))

Had a wake here recently but in all honesty the food was ok.

We have been attending the Thursday quiz night for over two months now! Alison (quizmaster) is great, thank you for making it so much fun. We would highly recommend it.

Been enjoying fantastic Thursday nights at The Victory, taking part in their quiz nights, followed by Play Your Cards Right. Alyson is a fantastic quizmaster, with some really varied rounds, including traditional and cryptic. Come along and see for yourselves, booking is advised as very...

Food was delivered quickly, very hot and was delicious. Very good service, and was pleasant sitting out in the garden

Always a nice meal the steak pie is excellent a pie with a base not in a dish. Staff always nice and very helpful Large choice on the menu the gammon / pineapple egg and chips really good The vegetarians had the Mac and cheese...

Visited this afternoon 5 adults sat in garden all meals well cooked and everything eaten. Would only find fault that the vegetarian choice is limited if you don’t like plant based meat products. The macaroni cheese they chose was very good though and we had...

Had a very nice meal , lovely staff the steak pie is really good

Had an amazing lunch 5 small plates for £20 is a bargain. Service was fantastic and the beer garden is lovely. The lady lady and her husband are a lovely couple and so welcoming. Everyone should try it!

Me and my partner came for dinner last night. The staff were very friendly and the service was prompt. However we have both been up all night with food poisoning.

Very restful with pleasant staff, excellent meal prices.

I had my baby shower here a couple weeks back, Alison, kev and Millie were very helpful and accommodating and helped sort everything. I ordered a buffet for my guests food was top quality. Highly recommend will definitely be having more events here!

It’s a nice place with nice staff usually. However, over the years it has become less dog friendly. With people being forced to sit outside in the rain because they had a dog. There are now a few tables that dogs are allowed at but not many do it’s had when it’s busy

Nice pub but food was not great daughters fish just about eatable

Excellent service from Samara and Louise on Sunday , had a smile and a laugh while serving and were extremely friendly , food was beautiful, compliments to the chef

Had roast dinners today. They were amazing such good value for money. Cauliflower cheese was the show stopper

Staff were fantastic. Helpful, polite and welcoming. Good pub food.
