The Victoria — Restaurant in Wales

The Victoria has a lovely modern decor, with the seating well organised so that you're not too close to other tables. The restaurant at the back has lovely big patio doors overlooking a pretty beer garden and gorgeous views into Bailey Park. The staff were excellent, friendly and just the right amount of attentiveness without being intrusive.

Unfortunately, the food did not match this standard. I ordered a steak burger with blue cheese sauce which came with triple cooked chips, the burger patty was homemade and well seasoned, the blue cheese sauce was also delicious, but the pieces of steak were overcooked and a bit chewy, the brioche bun was squashed, and the fried onions it was supposed to come with was a big spoonful of onion chutney that was too sweet and overpowering. The chips did indeed look like they had been triple cooked but not in a good way, as they were very dark and overcooked, they were soft and not crispy as triple cooked chips should be. Foolishly I ordered a dessert hoping this would be better.

We did indulge in desserts of Apple Crumble and Rocky Road Brownie with Ice Cream (which was absolutely 100% moorish). Outside area overlooking park looks lovely spot for a summers day - as dog owners we will revisit with our...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Victoria, and it was an experience that exceeded all expectations.

Exceptional service provided by the manager, Kitt. His attention to detail and genuine hospitality made us feel like valued guests and his recommendations were spot on.

I enjoyed one of the most beautiful fillet steaks I have ever tasted and was honestly blown away by the quality and my husband had the Dirty Hogg burger, aptly titled as it was enormous and even filled the black hole that is my his stomach, it's a rare day when he says he is full after a meal!

The malbec was spot on and my husband said the lager that we were recommended was very nice too. Lovely decor inside and out, we are looking forward to...
