Passing by on route to our campsite and decided to turn around and drop in to stock up on beer. Very friendly and staff. Lovely beer. We only had a quick snack consisting of chips before hitting the road so can’t comment on the menu.

Booked a table for 4 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs for an evening meal. Sat at table number 10. Food was exactly what we ordered and the 2 children ate every morsel. The fish and chips were in my husband's words really good. The gammon came with 2 eggs and was equally good. As was the ribs and scampi.
We found it great value for money and empty plates speak volumes.
Ice cream for children soon went as did the sticky toffee puddings and the chocolate brownie. The puddings all got a big thumbs up. Service was great. All staff friendly.
Only one thing marred the meal which was the rude couple sat near us we certainly would highly recommend the Victoria for food and wouldn't like to think the rude couple wouldn't put other people off going and enjoying a meal.

My experience was underwhelming. I had gone here previously and it was much better. I waited over an hour to eat as they had not remembered to transfer my order to the chefs. Once I actually got my food (a burger) it had cheese on which was not on the menu (the menu itself was on a chalkboard near the bar, which makes ordering impractical.) I sent my burger away and they finally gave me a burger without cheese. The meat itself was burnt around the edges, thin, and of an all round below par quality. I ate it all, only because I was hungry. The only good part was the scenery, which was quite beautiful. I hope they get better.

We were passing on the way to Haverfordwest having failed to find a dog friendly place to have some food. Kate went above and beyond, and despite being closed for food cooked us some lovely scampi and chips which we were extremely grateful for as it was such an awful day and we had all but given up finding anywhere that would allow us to bring our little dog in. Lovely person, excellent food. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you Kate 😊

The food was excellent! One worker that struck my attention was a tall teenage boy who had a amazing attitude towards his job, and made me feel really welcome. Will definitely come again!

Amazing pub. The food is really good and covers what you would expect in a pub. The chips are particularly good. The pub has a micro brewery and has a good range of very nice beer. Would recommend it above anywhere in the area.

The B&B is unsuitable for anyone who doesn’t want: > to be woken early in am because of being unused to light, it comes through the shutter gaps > to be woken early in am because of being unused to road noise, it is a fairly busy road outside > to eat breakfast sitting on a table-less chair or on their bed – breakfast is a “picnic” affair eaten in your room, there is no table. You could take turns at the dressing table I suppose, but there isn’t any room left after a few other items are on it.
And is unsuitable for anyone who wants: > a cooked breakfast, that is of course clear on the web site, but it seems more significant when you get there and will be walking for the day. And the printed pub brochure we found that says they do breakfast from 9am in the pub is obviously out-dated. > a choice of what to eat at a buffet breakfast, again, this is something you may not appreciate until you are faced with the choice provided in the cool box you are given containing breakfast > croissants that are apparently meant to be eaten the day before (they are provided the day before and say “eat on day of purchase”), and don’t fare well after being kept in a cool box anyway > toast > something savoury or protein-based for breakfast, either hot or cold (eg just some cheese would be nice) > a signon-based Wi-fi to avoid it being both unencrypted (true not such a big issue with https, but let’s get fully secure please) and thus requiring a T&C page to be acknowledged every time you return to the B&B > Wi-fi that works in the pub garden > more than minimal space for “stuff”, you need room for that cool box too. > to be “known” as a B&B guest in the pub > messages left on pub vm about menus and table bookings to be returned (tried twice, not even indicative menu available on line but “booking advised”) > any emails sent with comments about the stay to be answered (tried twice)
That said, the rooms are very new and nicely done, best we’ve seen in a while in fact, a nice firm bed and good linen (oddly over-sized duvet cover), good bathroom showers. Providing moisturiser was nice. Big smart TV (needed a retune, hint: best not leave yourself logged into the apps!), fast fibre broadband. No idea what the food is like at the pub as we didn’t eat there, but did feel some pub staff were a bit off-hand.

I was disappointed in my visit to the Victoria Inn. We were recommended to eat here and as such, booked sometime in advance. When booking we’re told that on a Sunday it was only a roast and the last service was 6:30pm.
We booked for 6:30pm and, after a long day travelling was very much looking forward to a roast. When we arrived we were told it was outdoor seating only and that “luckily your table is in the dry” (it was a wet & cold autumn evening, it has been raining most of the day and the pub has a large sail over outdoor bench’s) and that they “didn’t serve roasts”.
The change in menu and outdoor seating wouldn’t have been a problem if we had been told in advance. I understand things are difficult at the moment but some warning or even an apology for the miscommunication would have been nice. I also have a slight concern about what would have happened if our bench had been rained on.
The outdoor area is nicely set-up but there is one small heater which most guests were huddled around. It would be better suited for a summer evening.
Despite this the food was nice, it was good pub food, however it was overpriced for what it was. The quality of the food is the only reason this is a 3 star review, otherwise it would have been lower.
Food service was quick, I’ve never been served food before drinks before, although we were very much left to it.
We found it great value for money and empty plates speak volumes.

Overall a little disappointing.
