The Victoria (Mile End)

• The Victoria is their latest addition and having very recently been opened to the public
• This newly renovated iconic building is already winning a strong following
• This venue is full of surprises and exploring the many floors of the Victoria is delightfully fascinating
• First on the tour was the roof space
• As well as the roof space there is a Kitchen Room with a view of the chefs creating the meals of the day
• In the spacious outdoor space there is a cocktail caravan named after the former owner and international boxer Charlie Magri
• My favourite is the hidden speakeasy in the basement
• Leading to a collection of humorous incidents involving those who do not know there are a bunch of people watching them from behind the glass
• In this speakeasy there is no drinks list
• The food served in these cosy corners and big sharing tables dotted around The Victoria is British Tapas
• All the ingredients are sourced from local suppliers as well as their own rooftop collection
• The Victoria therefore takes pride in its food and all dishes are hearty and seasonal
• The Victoria is well priced considering the fresh and sustainable quality of the ingredients used in the food
• The residents of Mile End are immensely lucky to have not just a standard pub
• The Victoria is a comfortable place to relax and socialise or have a fun night out
• Family and is even dog friendly too
• The newly renovated pub The Victoria is just that and so much more
• The Victoria is brought to you by The yummy pub
• The first floor has separate rooms with a different theme
• The family friendly room is great for the kids to hide away from the pub front
• The secret stash of scotch is hidden in a cupboard
• Take a closer look and you think your eyes and mind is playing tricks with you when you see a flicker of candlelight&rsquo
• The rooftop farm is a great addition for knowing what goes in your food
• The mixologists conjure some great combinations and the live band was a joy to watch
• Quite an amazing pub with great traditions and style
• The British dish was incredibly made with decorations
• Style and it was well cooked
• S doing an impressive job on its own with chickens on the roof laying fresh eggs
• So it was with interest I noted it had closed and was being taken over by the Yummy Pub Co
• I immediately found them on Twitter and was chuffed to be invited to their opening
• You can hire this out and get it stocked with any kind of booze you want
• Honey and mustard sausages etc were on offer as well as some interesting vegetarian items which I thought were particularly nice
• When Stephen was brave enough to try the cod and mushy pea version
• From there we were shown the rooftops where the plan is to use the flat roofs to grow herbs and veg
• We went back inside and were treated to several cocktails made with the bartender&rsquo
• Such as whiskey with orange and cinnamon
• The Vic as she is affectionately known also keeps a little secret
• S just say downstairs is not all that it seems
• We spent another couple of hours in there the place was busy but not crowded
• T want the pub to reopen so they are having to go out of their way to win over the neighbours and the result is a pub that is a cut above the norm
• Portions seem to get smaller with each visit
• I think the pub itself is very confused as to what sort of place it wants to be
• For food there are better places only a stone's throw away
• I've been here before and the pub itself is really nice
• We sat in the back garden where someone came to take our drink order I wasn't yet ready which I wish I was because then I had to wait 15 mins to get someone's attention to order my drink
• The portion was about a palm sized dry breaded browned salmon without much flavour
• My cousin ordered the pimp my burger which was nearly £
• The burger was unable to hold because it was packed with an over done burger and greasy pulled pork
• All in all the EXPIRENCE was abit embarrassing
• They even have a yoga class upstairs which was really good
• After a 20 minute wait for the sticky date pudding I was presented with burnt cake
• Apparently sticky date does not need to be sticky and is fine served burnt
• The night was young and we were situated at The Victoria for my friend&rsquo
• As most neighborhood gastropubs are and surely would have evoked some fond memories for the folk
• The burgers looked mostly tasty but rather minuscule and the pulled pork burger bun was charred to the &ldquo
• Feel clever enough and an alright substitute with the casing almost right
• The peas were the usual and the mash was pleasant and creamy
• Happy for the bite and the service and staff were accommodating over our long stay
