The Victoria

Great beer, competitive prices, the interior in well planned out and inviting, the front outdoor area allows for a fantastic vantage point for some excellent people watching, the beer garden at the back offers an experience reminiscent of British beach holidays from a bygone era, and the staff are just the nicest bunch ever, try this pub and it WILL become your regular watering hole...100 out of 10

Fantastic atmosphere on weeknights and not too busy usually! We use this place for society meet ups and they're really friendly and open to groups!

The staff are fantastic and the selection of drinks is definitely worth it, especially if you're one for foreign beers.

They also have really cool private rooms downstairs and upstairs which can be hired and come with their own sound system (downstairs one does I believe). These are great for groups of friends and decor really adds to the great atmosphere.

This pub has such an amazing feel about it. The interior is fabulous and we loved the vinyl collection!

As ever with Yummy Pubs, the staff were very polite, very much on hand to help and the wines seemed very reasonable price wise.

It was a pleasure to be able to dine at the Chef's Table and meet the kitchen staff. Head Chef James is a total credit to the pub!

Will be ruturning to try their burgers very soon!

Leopard skinned chairs and checkered tablecloths, Check!

I came here on a Sunday for their breakfast and blues. It happens every Sunday but on the first one of the month from 1-6pm there is a jumble sale, then there's live music and then a free screening of a movie at 8. The website has the line up of things that happen during the month.

Great, laid back place. Definitely going to participate in the jumbles to come. Go support these guys. They're amazingly friendly and cooool.

I do not like the new refurbished style in the slightest. Gone has the good food, gone has the awesome quiz nights and gone has the grungey charm.

Now it has baby sick green paint outside, a terrible illustration of queen vic and an insecure area to serve coffees and stale croissants as well as doing everything else at once.

It strikes me as trying to bring all the cool and quirky parts of East ldn and putting it in one pub. Frankly I can't decide what I like and what I hate. The flooring is nice but then you are confronted with a dozen types of wood and wallpaper, the backdoor always swings open, leaving diners freezing and why do they have a caravan outside like barrio East?

Also, the beer selection is dire.

However it's a local and it's functional, it's good for a quick drink and that's what pubs are for after all!

Was not happy with the service I got and the food served. No respect for paying customer. Food was terrible , all the staff including cook where touching their hair as they handle our food. Never would I eat there .

Now this is a cracking piece of quirky East End life... This is not your average pub- there are vintage jumble sales at the weekend and during the day one corner of the pub transforms into a hair salon. Weird and wonderful clutter adorns the walls, (notice the stuffed squirrels behind the bar) and there's a little stage which often showcases up and coming dj's and bands. Drinks can be a little on the pricey side, but its worth it just for the atmosphere when live music is blaring!

The Vic is a great place to stumble upon and serves hearty american style food, and something I've been excited about in the daytime is the range of board games they have on offer- yes we were playing scrabble whilst drinking pints! However if you're looking for a good ol' traditional pub to take your parents, grannies or gramps, this may not be the spot. The Vic prides itself on being young, fresh and hip, which it does to a t.

Really, really enjoyed my visit to this pub.
Prices were reasonable (for London), and they took credit cards, the refurb seems to have given it a new hipster kind-of vibe.
I recommend this place for sitting outside on sunny days, they have an opened up Cocktail Caravan out back to sit in and theres chickens coming soon on the roof! (yes chickens in LONDON!) HOWEVER their smoking area does close pretty early. Their smoking area also has a couple of pods with roofs (any smoker knows this is the place to go in the rain for a fag)
We got the sweet potato fries which looked a little pricey but were definitely worth it. The best chips I think I have EVER had they were absolutely gorgeous and I definitely recommend.
The barman was a little rude, and got our order wrong the first time, but quickly sorted out the food and brought it over without any fuss.
The waitress was SO friendly, and even had a little chat with us about roll-ups. Really nice to have such lovely service from her.
Definitely recommend, especially on sunny days!

Had dinner here a few weeks ago with some friends. Booked a table over the phone, the staff were really helpful! The wine was highly drinkable and not too pricey. The food was good - had a burger and fries, was tasty and of a high standard, however at £12.50ish I thought it too expensive and have had better burgers for around the £10 mark. if the food had been cheaper I'd have given it 4stars. We were there on a Friday night and it wasn't too rammed, a nice bunch of people in there, not too gentrified at all. There is a cocktail bar too - although we didn't venture that far, am keen to give it a go! Would def go back.

Recently taken over. For no apparent reason previous owners lost their tenancy. Sad. Refurbished and modernised. Very weird interior with a strange cage cafe. Food is average and overpriced. Portion sizes are suspect. For example sausage and mash, a pub staple, offered two meagre sausages accompanied by a spoonful of mash and about 10 peas. For a tenner! We use the local butchers on Roman Road so are used to decent sausages around here! Fairly average wines and beers. Usual sky high London prices. Lunch sandwiches are decent. overall the menu is overhyped but under delivers with average cooking and its way too expensive.
