The Royal Victoria And Bull Hotel

I had a meal here at lunch time recently. The staff are very nice, but the food I would say it was average or just below average.
The potatoes where undercooked the salad was very stale looking and very wilted and dry - not fresh at all looking like the leftovers from the previous day!
My desert must have been left standing for quite a while in the kitchen too - as the ice - cream had melted all over the plate; was not served fresh looking?
I understand on that day and around that particular time, they were taking on a lot of new staff - whom were being trained.
I was disappointed with meal but I ate it as I was very hungry!
I don't think this is the general standard - I am sure the food is a lot better than this generally.....Because this place has a lot of good reviews. I hope to visit The Royal Victoria soon again - I'm sure the service will be better....this may have been a one off?
The staff were very helpful and friendly; and this place looks very unique and traditional - I am looking forward to visit again...as this place has got the 'potential' to be a very lovely place to come regularly.
I will review it again upon my return.

I stayed here last week when visiting my son. A great hotel in a great location with a lot of history dating back to 1700s I believe. The bedrooms are a bit tired and decor is dated but that doesn't detract from a comfortable bed . I had an issue with my sink plug which was fixed immediately. The breakfast was good and the staff were very friendly. Would I stay here again ?.....Yes.

What a wonderful place. Fantastic looking pub with a very stylish and comfortable atmosphere. The pub is part of a hotel and appears as if it is part of an older world arcade with a glass ceiling. Whilst I didn't eat anything, or even see any of the food on offer, I would imagine it to be decent at the very least,- and cheap! The Guinness is excellent and the Doom Bar as well.

Beautiful place, but unfortunately the food was a let down this time. Burger very dry, stake very chewy.
We were here couple of months ago and the food was amazing it was worth waiting over an hour but not this time.
Even the service was a let down.

Even though we had a slight problem with our first room they gave us, it was sorted very quickly that's why 5stars. Staff very friendly. Food lovely. Room quirky. Will be going back.

Very nice and pleasant atmosphere staff friendly and helpful. Food menu is very good there two meals for £14 is great and food 100%. So call in for a drink and a meal.

My husband and I have a Christmas dinner with our friends every year, there is 18 of us today and it's the first time having our celebration dinner in the Bull and Vic
It's the first time I felt like I was having a home made proper Christmas Dinner, very tasty a massive improvement compared to the other places we have been!
Great service, friendly staff, the chefs are new, lets hope they stay 👏

I guess ideal for party people but with the noise from the club and walls so thin we could hear the person next door snoor and sneeze nothing I would recommend for travellers to get a good nights sleep… for some reason the corridor and stairs are disgustingly dirty however the room was cleaner and somewhat ok. No staff available after 8pm so if a problem arises one has to wait until next morning to get it solved. Nothing I would recommend. Wasn’t even really cheap.
