Easily the best pub around Paddington. Not much competition but The Victoria is a hidden gem - amazing staff, well kept ales and top quality pub grub. Particular recommend the sausage and mash, pies, and pork belly.
This place is quite amazing and exceeded my expectations when I booked a table for 2 the other day. Nice and artsy decorated inside and despite being Halloween week the seasonal additions were not overboard. We got there early at 5.30pm and by 7pm the place was getting very full. Service was efficient and the staff friendly, while the food was excellent pub fare with a twist and well-proportioned. Got the soup of the day as starter, then the supreme chicken with the mushroom sauce and to top it off the apple and blackberry crumble with cononut ice-cream. Everything looked and tasted delicious, just check the photos! Definitely recommended and will be visiting again soon.
We arrived around 4pm and easily find some place to sit downstairs, we ordered the foccaccia bread, the scallops, chickens wings, 2 mains (which were quite expensive) and one dessert plus some drinks and paid around £50 pp.
I highly recommend the chicken wings as a snack, they were excellent.
The people working at the bar and service were really nice and helpful.
