Victoria Lounge - Stoke-on-Trent

The plate was on the smaller side but had a decent amount of food on it. The beef was tasty and tender for the most part, although there were occasional pieces with gristle and fat. The portion size was just adequate in my opinion. The roast joints of meat were cooked in the kitchen rather than coming from a pouch. The vegetables like carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower were alright and generously portioned. The boiled potatoes were also tasty, but the roast potato was oily and unappealing. All the veggies were fresh, not frozen. The highlight of the meal was the exceptional gravy, for which I asked for an extra pot at no extra charge. Overall, the Roast dinner was good but not excellent. Considering the price, it was reasonable. I am unsure if I will return for more roast dinners in the future.

We have been to this restaurant several times and it is always packed with people who enjoy a Sunday dinner. The food is consistently delicious and tastes homemade. It is affordable enough to feed a family, and the staff are always willing to help with anything you need. We can't think of a better place to have dinner. Keep up the good work, we will be back soon!

We were booked into the regent theatre and arrived in stoke early as we’d never been there before and didn’t want to be late for the show. We popped into the Victoria lounge hoping to eat but they normally finish food at 2. The young lady behind the bar was fabulous, she asked what we wanted and when we said just snacks, she checked availability and gave us a choice, limited but still, totally unexpected under the circumstances. We opted for ham sandwiches which were so fresh and they came with salad and roasties. The lounge is so welcoming and comfortable. Just want to give credit where credits due, thank you for your hospitality, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and recommend this venue. Mac and Glenda, Shropshire

This place is a dingey time capsule with mismatched, tired outdated decor, uninterested staff and poor quality food cooked from frozen. Not recommended.

I can't be the first researching a quick lunch break during Jury Service nearby. It ticked all the boxes well. They found a good sized table for us. and ensured the food came out so we could eat it and get back on time. Part of their problem was the different levels of food ordered, from snacks (which actually take longer to put together), than the carveries some wanted. On different occasions I had soup and a jacket, both being fine. Others had the Carvery etc., which they also enjoyed.
