The Hemingway is a good quality pub that serves delicious no-nonsense grub.You can see every dish being made to order in our open plan kitchen- no soggy microwaved frozen meals here! We take great care in sourcing our produce direct from the best suppliers both locally and abroad. Our menu is a mix of classic crowd pleasers and regularly changing seasonal dishes, which means you'll always find something to tempt your taste buds (even if you're in every day!).We are a pub, not a cocktail bar and while we make a blinding Bloody Mary, and will happily mix you an Aperol Spritz or Negroni, we don't do Pina Coladas. That said, we are extremely proud of our wide range of spirits from around the globe, which (where possible) we offer at affordable prices. The wine list has been chosen to provide a simple but high quality selection that goes as well with our food as it does with some good company.

Our menu is compiled daily using British shores seafood. We work with independent fishmongers to select the best ingredients. We believe sustainable British seafood should be something for everyone to enjoy & were better than a proper East End Pub.It's not all about food at the Vic. We haven't forgotten our roots, Pubs are a place for the community to meet, socialise & be happy.We've got some cracking beers, a carefully selected wine list and some awesome cocktails for you to enjoy whilst seated in our heated beer garden that has a teepee up during the winter months.

Exceptionally done modern British food. The service was flawless, which is impressive considering it opened only a few weeks ago. The Sunday menu was solid, with the highlights being the scotch egg, as well as celeriac. The vibe is nice, lively without being too noisy. A place where you can actually enjoy the food and chat.

It was a great experience visiting a pub in Uk for the first time. The atmosphere and service was warm and welcoming. We had scotch egg and Wellington beef which were delicious. We paid 49 pounds for the Wellington beef for 2 persons which was a great value for quality.

The room was too loud. Maybe you could consider acoustic panels on the walls or the ceiling to make the experience more enjoyable
