The Princess Victoria

Daniel P.6 years ago · 1 review

We were seated immediately, and the first order of drinks & starters came quickly, but it then took another 2 hours for the rest of the main dishes to come out. The servers attributed the wait to an issue in the kitchen, but when it came out it was underwhelming and our party just wanted to finally leave. A disappointing outing.

On this occasion at the Princess Vic the food was very average and the guy serving seemed in a hurry and lacking in customer skills or being personable, it was quite odd. We also sat outside which is littered with cigarette butts and a garden in dire need to attention. A shame as I’ve always liked the pub.

The quality of the food was up to standard and the service was pleasant, but the evening was marred a bit by the long waiting times. I always like the atmosphere .

Lovely Victorian pub and food pretty good too. Thank you.

The food was good but very bad service, food arrive 1 hour after we order, and nobody came after we finish the food to order the dessert.

Really good food, great service and a lovely setting. Plus the wine was very nice! Would come back for sure.

absolutely wonderful food and great service, such a great pub!

Was there for the pub quiz and had a lovely time. Staff are super and ready to offer suggestions if asked.

Great steak and fries. Linguine starter portion was on the small side but otherwise no complaints. Great value for money with 50% off on food!

Lovely food and great prices (especially with a taste card!)

Great dog friendly pub restaurant and very friendly staff and excellent food! Thank you!

Lovely food and friendly staff. More dogs than kids in the bar area which is always a bonus!

ALways a sure bet for a good time i like

Had a meal for five and thoroughly enjoyed, would've been better if football was not projected onto a screen and then umbrellas didnt cover all of the sun in the front garden

We was a party of four adults and each had a roast dinner- it was amazing and the service was impeccable. Recommended

4 of us ate at The Princess Victoria for Sunday Lunch. The meal was excellent. Two of our party had the slow roast belly pork, one had chicken and the other the lamb. The meal could not be faulted. Attentive service in a beautiful room.

Really nice dining room and and friendly service but the food was not great, sorry :(

Manquait moitié des produits, œufs écossais excellents, soir de jeu, assez bruyant

We have been to this gastro pub many times . Sadly this was not a good night - very slow service - 20 minutes wait before we could order a drink - had the specials which were poor and then had to wait over 20 mins to pay. Friendly staff over worked and sadly we felt ignored.

Really amazing food, great service and drinks too. Would recommend.

It was fine and I was happy with the food and wine.

Historical setting, friendly staff, great food! Well worth the effort!

It was excellent and we loved the pizzas. Great place!

Great Sunday roast and fab service. Always a pleasure coming here.

We went for a Sunday roast, the food and cocktails were delicious but the service was very bad. We waited a long time to be served initially and also a long time to pay the bill. We considered getting another drink but due to having to wait so long we decided not to bother. It was not that the restaurant was very busy, there were just times when no waiters were in the restaurant or they were standing around talking.

1. Enjoyed it, nice and busy, great service, great food,

Just all really good. Food, service & beer!! Big ticks all round!

Too much noise, good food, quick service Easy by bus

Lovely pub with nice decor and a cosy atmosphere. The food was great, especially the vegetarian scotch egg for a starter!

We brought an American friend who was visiting for an authentic Sunday Roast and he loved it, especially as it was on Anthony Bourdain’s show.

Fantastic food and incredible service. The staff were very attentive and friendly and I couldn’t recommend them more highly. The food took a little longer than expected but this gave us a fantastic opportunity to try out the rest cocktails they hadn’t on offer!! Definitely worth a visit, especially for Sunday lunch!

I have not been in a while and with fond memories of great food I suggested visiting friends that we should have dinner there. Before I start on the food I'd like to compliment the service. Both the drinks staff and the food waitress were impeccable in their approach. At least to my taste. Warm and lightbeared. The food however was a let down. My first and second choice was sold out. At 8Om on a Friday. This is early in a dinnerservice for two item to be sold out on a quite small menu. Bad planning from the kitchen. Receiving my third choice main half of it was missing. No sharlottes or artichoke had not added mash to my chicken main I would have been left with a chicken breast with a tea spoon of mushroom and two tea spoons of crispy kale. The chicken was also very dry. As this was a treat from my friends for me putting them up for a few days and I was very tired after 11 hrs of work I didn't want to cause a scene. I would have if I would have opened my mouth last night as I was too tired. That is why I am writing this now. My guests seemed happy with their choices so that was important to me. You have my feedback here. A real dissappointment. They need to sort their kitchen out. Get the planning right.

Spacious, nice atmosphere, friendly service, good wine and tasty pizzas

It was a really lovely place and very good attentive staff but the food was cold - WEn had a roast dinner and I know it was Sunday and busy but it would have been good to have been served food that was hot

Roast beef was quite nice but took a little wait to come out. In fairness the staff had warned about this. Most staff could do with some training on engaging with customers with a fine case being 3 members of staff walking right by when we were waiting to be seated, even a 'someone will be right with you' would have been nice

beautiful atmosphere and venue. Ordered the roast dinner which was came very quick.

Vegetables all under cooked. Great atmosphere however food was poor. Great waiters.

First time visiting. Truly delicious roast dinner and generous portions. Amazingly friendly staff and reasonable prices for London. Will definitely return with the whole family.

Overall we enjoyed the meal. The staff were friendly and helpful, the ambience was nice. Generally the food was good. we had a sharing meat plater which was good but I had to ask to find out it was British which in my opinion should have been made more of. Cauliflower fritters lacked flavour but calamari was great. Partners fish was good, as was my steak but the chips were disappointing unlike the French fries. Perhaps some of the slips were due to how busy they were as it was valentine's day. Despite the above criticisms I would go back and recommend to others. David.

Great food (one of the best scotch eggs I’ve ever had) and a fantastic Sunday Roast - if I could make 3 improvements it would be change the herb with the roast veg from fennel to thyme (the aniseed overpowers the veg), cut the beef a touch thicker and the roast potatoes need looking at. But honestly, these are minor details - the staff are exceptional and friendly, the atmosphere is warm, friendly and relaxed and in general the food is top draw. Without a doubt one of the best pubs in London

Seems to have gone downhill unfortunately. Service was pretty bad - we were largely ignored, even though servers were walking back and forth by our table. We waited 30 minutes for them to clear our plates, and they only did when we waved someone over and specifically asked one of the waitresses. Then she didn’t offer dessert or bring the menu over, until again, we waved and specifically asked. At that point, she pulled a face at us. The food was fine for adults, but not for the kids. Mini-sausages were so small that my 7 year old daughter was hungry and we had to ask for more. I was sure to say that they were for my daughter, but annoyingly, they arrived as a bar snack, in a (hot) mini-saucepan and covered in mustard. So we sent those back and again reiterated that they were for my daughter. The second lot arrived without the mustard but still in the saucepan. Similarly, we ordered the kids steamed vegetable - instead we got a mini-saucepan of roasted adult veg, including cabbage and parsnip. I indicated that that was not what was on the menu and the response was “yeah they’re roasted”. There was no substitute offered and we were charged for them despite not eating them. I paid the bill in full as well as service because it was woefully obvious that the staff were just not up to dealing with expressions of dissatisfaction. I felt that had I raised any of this to them, there would have been more face-pulling and blank looks. I won’t be going back despite this having been a local that was well-loved for 10 years.

I was greatly impressed with the service. The staff are very helpful and diligent. The atmosphere was lovely and the food and drinks were excellent. Would visit again.

attended as a group booking. Meal and service was excellent, enjoyable and super as always!

Beautiful Victorian building along the Uxbridge Roasd. Excellent pub to relax with friends & family. Good choice of ales & wines at the bar. The restaurant is really nice, serving traditional pub fares, pizzas & brunches. The staff is very helpful & friendly. Best pub in the area!

Overall a good standard gastro pub. Good pint of Guinness and very tasty steak. Stay could do with cheering up to make the experience that bit better

An excellent Sunday Roast at the Princess Victoria on Sunday evening. only 2 downsides; the noisy pub quiz in the main bar - if we'd known we'd have gone somewhere else (although I'd join in another week). and the fact that all the other roasts on the menu had sold out, we only had the option of chicken - but it was amazing & easily the best roast I've ever had locally.

Great atmosphere, amazing food. Bartenders were AWESOME, the hostess was ok.... little cool, but nice enough. She seemed slightly annoyed that we were there? Maybe it was just an off night for her.

Really good calamari and pizza, friendly, attentive staff and a buzzing atmosphere for a Thursday night, which wasn’t even a night with a January offer available

Brilliant staff and lovely swift lunch! Ever changing menu and delicious new additions as well as the usual staple of regular favourites! Will be back x x x

Food and service were great but ambience was lacking as we were the only table eating in the large dining room at 1pm on a Saturday...
