Had the nut roast on Sunday which tasted okay but the texture was extremely loose. Some more chunky nut and veg pieces would’ve been nice. My husband enjoyed his chicken. The service was good but as I’ve found in _many_ other places there is a lack of knowledge around the fact that many drinks contain animal products.

Not as good as I remember . I ordered a bottle of wine only to be told it did not come by the glass. I may not look flash but the staff treated me as they were more important than me. A receipe for disaster. I paid with my platinum card . They did not know that it was special. So close to being really great . As always you cannot get the staff. Perhaps the manager needs some help. Pity, so close but so far . My loss . Frank

I have visited the Princess Victoria on occasions. This time we came with friends for an impromptu roast dinner. We booked for 5pm and they were able to accommodate. There was no roast chicken left despite them being open for food until 9pm. Friend ordered beef instead. Food enjoyed by all. I had nut roast - last time it was slightly curried in flavour and was very tasty. This time it has changed to a recipe full of walnuts. Tasted better with old recipe in my opinion, but I enjoyed the rest of my meal. Cauliflower cheese could be a bit hotter. Manager seems friendly. Other staff didn't seem to notice our table much. Took 10 mins to take drinks order despite the restaurant area not being full. They didn't seem as friendly as the manager. Great selection of gins. Reasonably priced dinner for 4. Will still return for sure. I enjoy visiting this pub - great decoration and love that dogs are allowed.

Food was excellent, really really good roast. The service was unfortunately non-existent; I had to get up 4 times to seek out staff members. Did spoil it rather.

There's nice atmosphere and decor here. The food is decent but not exceptional. We visited on a busy Sunday and found the service more on the relaxed (slow) side

Went late at night in the rain and enjoyed delicious scotch eggs, pizzas and brilliant table service. The chef had an injury that night so there was limited food options but the staff were brilliant and food amazing nonetheless! Will definately be back and thank you to all - a great night!

The staff and food were excellent. There is a very large selection of gin to choose from. The pub is lovely and cosy and is very easy to get to from Shepherd’s Bush station. We will definitely be coming back to the Princess Victoria.

Really nice food but the staff are always really unhelpful and unfriendly, apart from one really nice guy who was lovely. It’s now our third time trying and such a shame as it’s our local pub and really want to enjoy it as it’s so nice otherwise. Sorry to have to be so negative.

Nice location, beautiful food. Meal took a while to arrive (45 minutes- more kitchen staff?). Staff should explain if delays when customers ordering. Will return

Great food! Scotch eggs were really impressive and the Sunday roasts (we had the pork belly and the pan roasted fish) were awesome. The ambience is great and overall a very nice experience. Will come back for sure.

Good food and professional manner in a informal way. The place is perfect for a well done meal at a reasonable price or for just a drink, just be sure you booked a table for any of the Sunday's meals!

Lovely ambiance and good Sunday Roast. The bar is amazing and we enjoyed the Bloody Mary and Scotch eggs! Too bad service was a let down. They simply couldn't handle the volume of people.

We arrived at 12:30 and the food didn’t come out until 2pm. Such a shame as it was delicious when it arrived but disappointingly slow with no apology.

Really lovely set lunch. Went mid week and would highly recommend the three courses which were varied, delicious and perfectly balanced. The deal even included a glass of wine which was a lovely surprise treat!

Convenient neighbourhood restaurant but limited and unchanging menu and slow service during peak periods are major bugbears. They had run out of the best item on the menu (the 10oz sirloin) by 7pm. Otherwise some of the items had the hallmarks of being mass produced and merely assembled on site to cut costs. This was not reflected in the final bill however which was expensive given the pedestrian quality of the food and untrained service. Princess Victoria often provides amazing deals but last night we paid full price due to a mistake over dates and it was simply not worth it

Went on a very hot summer's evening and loved the airy open feel. Lovely staff at the restaurant and a varied and delicious menu! We went as a group of 3 with a vegan and vegetarian amongst us and both claim it was the best pub dinner they have ever had! We will be back!

The positives: the food was delicious and the portion size definitely big enough and the dining room was beautiful. The negatives: the service wasn’t even close to what we expected. Everything took VERY long. After having our pre-lunch cocktails we were never asked if we’d like to have wine or other drinks with the food so ended up having water that was already on the table. After the main course we waited for someone to ask if we’d like to have coffee or dessert but that didn’t happen either so we just ended up getting the bill. The staff seemed very young and inexperienced. We were a group of 9 and felt quite invisible and forgotten. The waiters were very nice but they just didn’t have enough experience to see what was needed.

So, a couple of things went wrong - one main course was late and we were brought a more expensive bottle of wine (which we didn't pick up on until it appeared on the bill). BUT the way it was all handled by the team was brilliant! We had a great evening and, of course, we'll be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Our original reason for going to the Princess Victoria is to follow Anthony Bourdain's stops shown on "Parts Unknown". The scotch eggs, chips and Guinness did not disappoint. The World Cup match involving England was an unexpected bonus as I made a reservation in advance of any knowledge of quarterfinal outcomes. The perfect atmosphere for enjoying a meal and watching the football match.

Very quiet for a Saturday evening and so lacking in atmosphere. The food wasn’t anything special and I had to return my undercooked (baked) salmon. After visiting this pub for many years, we have no desire to rush back.
