Was looking for somewhere different to have lunch while on a day trip, and chose this traditional pub tucked away on the upper level of one of Chester's Rows, close to the Cross. Climbed a steep flight of steps to get to it, but there is a more accessible entrance round the back, through a little square behind St Peter's Church. The Victoria is Chester's oldest pub and the interior reflects this, full of olde-worlde atmosphere and charm with its low wooden beams, quirky layout and stained glass windows. Some lovely pictures of old Chester on the walls. There's a cosy parlour with a big TV screen and a beer garden that strangely sits on a paved over graveyard. The only letdown was the toilets, very cramped and in need of renovation. There's a well stocked bar with a good choice of ales, but I ordered a nice Merlot to drink with my meal. The barman was friendly and hospitable, and I was served straight away. The menu offered a pleasing selection of classic pub meals, sandwiches and ciabattas. Ordered the homemade beef lasagne with garlic bread and salad. The lasagne was hot, good quality lean meat with no gristle, and the salad was very fresh. Generous helpings too. Great convivial atmosphere once the pub filled up! Overall a satisfying lunch experience.

We stopped over for a drink as it’s one of the oldest pubs in Chester. The service was friendly. Drinks are cheap too. They had 2 shots for £6 which was cheap. It was a bit early but thought it was a good deal.

Popped in for a bite to eat and a pint. We were not disappointed.
A decent menu on offer, we went for corned beef and pickle and a round of cheese and onion. We were offered some chips and we did not refuse.
A bit of chat with the locals then our food was delivered.
Really tasty food and a decent pint.
The pub was filling up so we gave our seats to a family looking for seating.
Next time we are in Chester needing lunch we shall visit here.
