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.

Food was fantastic. Atmosphere was great. Wine list is exceptional for a pub. Service was hospitable but lacked a bit of attention (fork never came for one guest, sat with dessert menus for 30+ minutes, etc). In any case, will be back and already looking forward to it.
