Went in that Victoria 2nd Jan Friday) for a meal, only a handful of people in and nobody eating , not surprising from our experience) we asked for a menu and bought a drink. When we went to the bar to order the one and only barmaid had gone for a fag . Waited until she had finished her fag and ordered our meal, she told us that there was no Lasagne/chicken/steak pie, which severely limited our choice of a not very extensive menu. Ordered gammon very small piece of gammon, but not too badly cooked) egg could have played tennis with it) peas well they were green round pellets that tasted of absolutely nothing) and a mountain of underdone frozen chips Tesco value I think).

Decided to try the Victoria for dinner on a Friday night (7.30pm) but were very shocked to be told that the chef had went home and they were not serving food. This seemed absolutely ridiculous on a Friday evening, especially when the place actively advertises the food offerings outside. There were menus out on the tables listing the Friday special! We went to the High Street where we managed to get a really nice meal. The Victoria needs to get its act together. If you are happy just being a local watering hole, then don't advertise yourself as anything else.
It's nice to see what an effort the new owners have made in the refurbishment of this pub! It's also nice to see a familiar face back as the new manager. A warm and friendly welcome definitely awaits now at the Victoria... Home cooked meals which are very reasonably priced, fantastic special offers on food and the drink are served perfectly. Definitely worth a visit as it's become mine and my friends new regular for sure!!
I visited last week for the first time as a central place to meet a friend coming up from Cheshire. We sat out in the lovely garden to start with and then went inside to eat. We were made very welcome as was my dog. The food was inexpensive reasonable pub grub, but it was the welcome and helpful young woman behind the bar who made our visit great.

We spend many a sunny day at the Victoria, good choice of drinks and food and a massive beer garden to enjoy ice cold beers in the sun with friends and family. They used to have plenty of children's play apparatus , but the pub is still being upgraded and i believe the children's play area will be restored.
Popped in here out of the rain last week as I was walking home from the railway station. Was surprised as it doesn't look much from the outside but inside it's warm and comforting. Beer is good value and I'm sure the food is too. Sports on the TV in one bar but not too loud to be off-putting.
Nice pub with a big beer garden accommodating a good play area for children. We went with our grandchild for a meal after visiting the annual town show but were told that they were not doing food at that time. No reason given! (Hence only 3 stars). Otherwise well worth a visit.
Dropped in for a Sunday dinner as we fancied a roast but we're way too hot to cook! Really enjoyed it! Lamb was nice and mash potato was lovely. Veg was nice and fresh (could tell it hadn't been kept warm). Overall very pleased! We'll be back again soon
