The story
The Victoria is an award-winning independent gastropub in the heart of East Sheen, just moments from Richmond Park. It brings together the comfort of a traditional pub with the flair of a modern restaurant, serving inventive seasonal dishes and much-loved classics in relaxed, stylish surroundings. This approach has earned it a Michelin Recommended award for 2026.
The kitchen team prepares seasonal menus on-site, using fresh, ethically sourced British ingredients. The offering balances pub classics with daily specials, and the Sunday roasts are a local institution. Guests can also look forward to a Thursday Steak Night menu and a dedicated kids' menu, making it a welcoming destination for all.
The atmosphere shifts with the seasons. In winter, guests can unwind by the fire; in warmer months, the leafy walled garden is the place to be. The bar is well-stocked with craft beers, cocktails, and carefully chosen wines. For those who want to linger, six boutique rooms upstairs make The Victoria a place to combine great food, warm hospitality, and a homely stay under one roof.
Whether you are stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, The Victoria offers a genuine neighbourhood experience with a polished edge. It is a true local gem that has earned its reputation through consistent, high-quality Modern British cooking and genuine hospitality.

History
An upmarket pub with rooms that’s also a true local hangout. Here you’ll find folk having business meetings alongside yoga mums and smart families (drawn by the pretty playground out back). There's something for everyone, from pints and bar snacks in the old-fashioned bar (complete with sport on TV) to proper food from the restaurant menu (also available at the bar if you ask). With really good meat for the local rugby types and Asian chopped salad for their trendily vegan partners, it’s all very relaxed.
