Square Meal Review of The Victoria ?

The revamped gastropub/hotel, helmed by telly-chef Paul Merrett, has garnered a well-deserved following. The conservatory dining room is an invitingly bright & airy space, while the bar, with its comfy chairs & sofas, has been left attractively pub-like; Exmoor Gold & London Pride are on tap. Merrett may have won fame for grand French & mod-Med cooking, but the menu here is a nice mix of fashionable flavours, showing plenty of kitchen know-how & careful sourcing. Asian-inspired hot & sour prawn soup with coriander & shiitake might kick-off a meal – as might serrano ham with feta, olives & honey – with tender, water-bath cooked onglet steak & béarnaise to follow. The Victoria’s location means that passing trade is unlikely (it can be quiet early in the week), but booking is essential at weekends, especially for the family lunches.

    We had lunch at the victoria on Sunday and we thought it was excellent. It was obviously a local favourite as lots of young families with their kids, and everyone having a happy time. We will return one evening as it looks like it has lots of atmosphere. The staff were delightful and we got excellent service – keep up the good work!!

    Following a visit with my Son and a subsequent visit with my wife, I can wholeheartedly recomend the ‘Victoria’ as an ideal place to eat. Mike, the resturant manager found the time to talk to us, a rareity nowadays, following our meal, and gave us an insight into how the resturant has been run since they re-opened under new management and a refit.

    The Steak I had was excellent, the bernaise was to die for and the ‘thrice fried chips’ were the best chips I've eaten, well done Paul!

    I would highly recomend this place and strongly suggest you try it, I will certainly look forward to my next visit.

    Having been here to celebrate NYE 2008 (which was a complete success) I can say with extreme confidence that you will not find a better pub around, certainly not in South West London. I have been here a number of times now with my girlfriend for dinner, and slowley started to bring friends and family along. The place is warm, very inviting and the staff friendly, but not overly so and welcome you with open arms. Food first then – the menu is not too big and serves classics such as Collar of Bacon and Pan Frid Seabass…the Barbury duck breast is exemplary aswell!! Aside from the dining room menu, there is a bar snack menu, a Saturday bruch menu and a Sunday menu, all consisting of seasonal produce cooked to a very high standard. The wine list is excellent value first and foremost, serving wine by the glass from as little as £2.95. The list is designed by Olly Smith – so no need to question that one! The only thing I would like to see more of is proper ales! The London Pride is superb, clear and very well looked after, but a few more options on the ale front would be nice. All in all, every experience I have had has been different, because of the people I have brought here, but equally as good. Hats off to Paul, Greg and the rest of the team, this place is a country mile above anywhere else – and I have been to many pubs and restaurants this side of the river. Bring on the summer when the rotisserie comes alive and the champagne starts to flow!
