"We left the Victory today having not been served two couples and a table of 8 were seated after us. The lady behind the bar then served 3 tables and several people at the bar before us, dispite us trying to attact her attention. After almost quarter of hour waiting it became clear to us that if you are local or know to the only member of staff you definitely get priority service. We duly informed her we were leaving. I know in this day and age it is a problem with staff shortages and Covid but if you haven't got the staff don’t take the bookings. We left very disappointed and based on our very poor experience would not recommend and we would not be returning."

We often go here and the choice of food is excellent, and a good selection of beers and wines. Nice open fire and a lovely pub in general. Nice sitting out on a sunny day with views over the green. There is parking and two...

First and last time at this pub. The main course was dreadful, couldn’t even eat it. What made it worse was the appalling attitude of the manager, he was extremely rude not at all apologetic for the food we didn’t eat and wanted to still...

Welcomed to the pub by Kevin and a new barmaid/waitress. Lovely lunch menu. Had the crab legs to start with then chose the rabbit pie with mash. Would have had the Mousaka, but it was for you vegetarians out there. It was a great choice....

Greeted by lovely staff in the festive festooned saloon. Had a lighter lunch today, scampi for me and battered fish for hubby. Asked if everything was ok did we need anything else. Very attentive. Good food and service as usual and as we’ve come...

We ordered the cheeseburger which was drowning in cheese and had nothing else in it (like lettuce, tomatoes) this was way too overpriced for something so basic. We also ordered the chef’s special which had the smallest amount of steak and the rest was just...

"We came here on a last minute hunt to find a Sunday roast with family without much expectations. However when entering its a lovely set up and we were greeted by Lee and Alison who looked after us for the meal who just to begin were absolutely brilliant, they really care about the customers and make this place extra special. Now for the food you can get a 2 or 3 course meal so everybody made various selections but all had starters. Most went for the Aarancina which isn't your usual starter with a Sunday roast but for here it packs alot of flavour and is a great way to start the meal. They have a great selection of alcoholic beverages I went for a simple beer. For the main roasts we had a variety of meats I wanted the pork but sadly they had no crackling which was half the reason for ordering but if I am being honest after eating the meal it wasn't missed out the meat was tasty full of flavour but the sides were the key. The roast potatoes were of a top level usually when you eat out they are never as good as eating at home, the Yorkshire were huge and tasty, gravy brilliant with plenty to go around and lots of veg and cauliflower cheese on the side. Honestly this was excellent a really good roast probably the best I have ever ate in a resteraunt. Some of the others had the lamb shank which was huge and had great feedback but the beef was great and so was everything else. So yes check it out eat in and eat some great food in a nice setting with absolutely brilliant service you won't be disappointed."

"What can I say….We held our wedding dinner and impromptu party ! on the mezzanine floor and had the time of our lives with our nearest and dearest. It’s been a pretty special place for us as we dined at the House by Hilly Gant to check the area out before moving from London and so as we were having a small wedding of 22 people we felt this was the best place to have our wedding. Suzanne and the team could not have done anything more to make our afternoon and evening so perfect. The food was outstanding and our guests were very impressed Harry and his cocktail making skills are second to none. Huge shout out to all the kitchen staff who’s attention to detail and timings were spot on. Leading up to the day itself Suzanne took charge and offered her expert advice on how to dress the room and made so much effort with our requirements. 3 children and 1 baby as part of the guest list! . The beef in particular was spectacular and the chocolate fondant was sublime. We honestly didn’t want to leave. After dinner Suzanne was able to crank the music up and we had a little party ensuring all the guests downstairs were still well looked after our friends were actually dining downstairs and were able to join us towards the latter part of the evening! From the bottom of our hearts thank you so much to everyone for making it so special for us. I’m not surprised that you were recently awarded your second rosette, totally deserved. For anyone looking for quality food, locally sourced, and beautifully executed this is the place to come. SEE YOU SOON and thank you again x"
