The Victoria

Head out towards Woodham and you'll find The Victoria tucked away on Woodham Lane — the kind of place where regulars genuinely know the bar staff's names and the landlord remembers what you drank last time. It's got that comfortable, lived-in feel that chain pubs desperately try to manufacture but never quite nail. The food's straightforward and done well, which is exactly what you want when you're popping in for an evening out without any fuss or pretension.
