The Victory — Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

We recently celebrated my father-in-law’s 90th birthday at the victory, and I honestly can’t praise them enough. From the moment we enquired, the team went above and beyond to make the day not only special but incredibly safe and inclusive for our family.

Our son has a serious nut allergy, and the level of care and attention shown was exceptional. The staff took it upon themselves to deep clean the kitchen, remove all nut products from the premises, and even took a dish off the menu to ensure there was no risk of cross-contamination. At no point were we made to feel like an inconvenience — quite the opposite, in fact. We were met with kindness, professionalism, and genuine reassurance every step of the way.

The birthday celebration itself was just perfect. The food, the atmosphere, and the warmth of the staff made it a truly memorable day for my father-in-law and everyone who joined us. It’s rare to find somewhere that combines such high standards of hospitality with real heart, but the victory absolutely nailed it.

We’re so grateful to the team for their thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and for going the extra mile to make sure everyone felt safe...

I visit the Victory occasionally when visiting a friend in South Gosforth. It's a lovely pub, by far the best around there and the menu is always different from your normal pub food. The girls who run the place are lovely. However, we visited recently to be met be a rude, unhelpful, smartarse, bolshi, barman who made us feel very uncomfortable when ordering. The menu had obviously changed from our previous visit and the response to every question was to return the menu. Eventually the question came asking if we could read. I somehow don't think that kind of behaviour would have happened had our husbands been with us. There was only a handful of people in and we wondered if the two...

Decent boozer! Intermittent drinks here over some ten years or more have been absolutely fine. Somewhat off my beaten path, it now looks arguably better than ever post refurbishment. It is dog friendly which ticks a big box these days (absolutely not mine though. Keep 'em out along with children) so no five star rating. The beer for me is sound, and whilst I've not tried their snap, the plates blasted forth appear to be bang on. Along with two other rival boozers within a few hundred metres of each other, the South Gosforth area I think is well served for punters like myself requiring beer....
