Food delicious - perfectly cooked steak, crispy calamari - and the menu was appealing. Service attentive. Decor properly pub-like in a good way. Didn’t have pizza but other peoples’ looked good and they’re great value.

Friendly, casually professional. Lovely food. A feel good experience. Has a cool but unpretentious air where you feel very welcome and comfortable and staff are attentive but friendly. Would recommend

Good food on the whole- we went for the roasts and whilst the chicken was excellent the beef was a bit tough and the Yorkshire pudding a bit dry. Good service and ambience though.

Inattentive service, worse food eg. just two roast potatoes from the freezer which were not crispy, a cold tiny dollop of lumpy bread sauce, what bad pub roasts were like 20 years ago

The service, the staff and the food was amazing. We ordered two Sunday roasts and we were delighted about how big the portion was. The meat was really tasty, as well as the starters. In fact, we were surprised about the Calamari with Alioli, they were incredibly fresh and tasty! We enjoyed every single thing and we will repeat for sure!

One of the best Sunday roasts I've had- and I've had a few. The staff were brilliant too. The place was packed but the high ceilings and skylights kept the atmosphere tranquil.

Food was incredibly so-so, certainly of a lower standard than one has come to expect from a pub that looks as though it takes itself pretty seriously. Also, the food came to table so quickly it was obvious it had been heated up rather than cooked on site. The staff were friendly but inept. Won’t be going back to eat, just for a drink as the pub side of the operation is nice.

Sorry but this is not as good as it used to be. Maybe new management? Dry fish, chips chewy and not hot, beef tough. Disappointing.

Staff were rude. I normally don’t mind dining alone but here it was not a great experience. The waitress at the end taking my payment tisked at me when I put my pin code in - like I was a child? Will not be returning, even though I really enjoyed the food.

Totally recommend for Sunday lunch. Great atmosphere and the food was excellent. Probably recommend the roast beef over the Pork Belly (which was really quite rich) and according to my wife, the Nut Roast was one of the best she has had. And desserts were delicious. Family friendly.

Service was great. Beautiful pub. Roast dinner was barely warm on cold plates although good taste. Nice touch with free prosecco for mums. Son had burger but unfortunately he was throwing up after lunch! Not sure what caused that!

Having grown up next to this pub and my mum still living next to it, it has always been close to my heart, the food is excellent and the atmosphere and gin selection superb, my only disappoint is some times, especially at the bar and sometimes in the restaurant it is apparent as to who they want in this pub and who they do not and I have found that frustrating very frustrating, I hope the pub does not forget it is located next to a council estate and those people have the same rights to buy a drink in this pub as anyone else, I drink in there every QPR match day and we dine as 7 people monthly so it is not like we are not contributing to the success of this establishment less so than anyone else.

I love this pub, however my wife and I both ordered the roast beef which was beautifully presented with generous portions. The meat was cut too thick and was tough. disappointing when that is the centrepiece of your meal. Everything else was great. If the meat was tender as it should be, this would have been a 5 star review.

First time visiting The Princess Victoria and we were not disappointed. Food was lovely and quite large portions. The servers again were lovely and it felt very comfortable to be there. It was quite busy being Mothering Sunday so service was understandably a little slower but I would definitely recommend and we will be visiting again.

We went there for our post-civil-wedding dinner and it was a lovely intimate evening with just a few friends. I've always liked this gastro pub and was sad when it was closed, but the new refurbishment this place has undergone really brings out its character even more than before and the food was even better than I remember. Staff was friendly and helpful as always. All in all, a great experience and a place worthy of favourable recommendation.

Friendly, helpful staff and lovely, buzzy Sunday lunch atmosphere. Clearly very dog friendly so felt like a pub in the country. Tasty dips to start but the flat bread was a little too charred. I enjoyed pumpkin gnocchi which was delicious but came without the promised rocket salad. Unless the garnish was the salad? My husband's roast beef and daughter's burger were both hugely decadent and succulent. Left us all too full for the famous sticky toffee pudding though. Next time...as we'll definitely go back. Maybe avec pooch.

The meal at The Princess Victoria was delicious! I have been to this venue a couple of times now and it never disappoints. The service was efficient and friendly, and the unexpected addition of the quiz was highly enjoyable. I would happily visit again and recommend to any of my friends/family.

Menu was not as good as the previous version of the PV. Pizza? Really? Service was quite slow and it was not even that busy on a Sunday evening. Unfortunately, we will not be visiting this restaurant nearly as much as we have in the past.

Very ordinary, sadly. Erratic service meant one main course came with our starter. One dessert was almost inedible. The food generally was of ok pub standard but not worth going out for as a destination.

Sent the beef out cold, had to send it back. What professional chef does that? Portions of the Sunday roast were dismal, a handful of greens, one parsnip, two small potatoes. Shame to say I am very unlikely to come back.

The starters were good and the flat bread delicious. But from then things went downhill. We were told early on that all the roast mains were not available but suddenly things were back on track and we were able to order. But what we finally received was disappointing. Apart from extremely slow service, the cabbage was undercooked, the roast potatoes overdone and the meat only so so. So all In all not a good dining out experience. However, the waiters were friendly and the restaurant went out of its way to make amends by not charging us for the mains.

We found this place after watching Anthony Bourdain and Nigella Lawson share a scotch egg on CNN’s Parts Unknown. The Victoria Princess has since changed ownership and no longer serves the Whitebait and fat chips. However, the scotch eggs didn’t disappoint and the staff was fabulous.
