The Victoria

Simply the best pub around paddington. not much competition, but the victoria is a hidden gem amazing staff, well maintained ales and high-quality pub dug. especially recommend the sausage and maic, cakes and blacks.

Excellent food and good beer. First time was a Sunday and the family had the carvery, food was so good we went back and it was just as good. Highly recommend this pub, top 2 locations we ate at during our stay in England.

The fish and chips are 5 stars!!! The actual pub looks amazing and has the old London vibe. My issue is, I asked for a table for one and the Bartender asked for my credit card to open a tab which I had no problems but I watched other patrons enter and get tables without having to open a tab. So I asked once I completed my meal why did you ask for my credit card to open a tab and the answer was just in case I ran out??? Yeah never going back.

Lively neighborhood pub. Friendly bar and several dining rooms upstairs. Reservations are highly recommended. This is a local place so mind your manners and respect the regulars. Sunday roasts are excellent and good value. The nut roast was fantastic as was the sticky toffee pudding. The staff is kind and helpful, but busy so don’t burden them with special requests. Beets is excellent so order a pint, relax and be patient. The library is cozy and warm, a great place for pleasant conversation with friends.

What a wonderful pub. A pint was reasonable at about £6 (coke £2.30). But what I liked most was the decor. The main bar was thriving at 10 pm on a Thursday night. Plus you can drink at the “theatre” upstairs or eat in the “library.” Highly recommend this little gem.
