RESTAURANT REVIEW
The Victoria is well known for its ‘catch’ and has even dedicated
Thursday nights presenting this to its customers in the form of “Day
Boat Thursdays” - the Best of British Seafood where King Prawns,
Seabass and Dover Sole are regularly on offer.
Despite being enticed by the Pan-Fried Halibut and St Austell
Mussels, on our tasting evening we opted for their classic Fish &
Chips with Crushed Peas and Tartar Sauce, a firm favourite on the
menu. It did not disappoint. The batter was so light and fluffy and
the fish was perfectly cooked and flaked away as it should do in
meaty chunks. The crushed peas were tasty too and chips were
plentiful and crispy.
However, the most amazing standout dish of the night was
definitely the HG Walter, Salt Chamber aged Fillet Steak, 200 grams
of pure heaven.
It was served perfectly medium rare as requested, with a Roasted
Onion, Bordelaise Sauce. Having reviewed over 300 Restaurants,
our taster referred to this Fillet as “melt in the mouth doesn’t even
come close, it was the softest, finest, most succulent steak I have
ever tasted. I could have cut it with a spoon.”
The flavours were immense, and the Salt Chamber treatment
gave it a crispier coating than most steaks. The Bordelaise Sauce
did not overpower either; a light drizzle was all that was provided,
and interestingly, all that was
needed.
We chose the Triple
Cooked Chips to
accompany our
Fillet Steak,
which were
also divine.
Other sides
on offer
include
Baked
Potato
Mash (with
or without
Truffle),
Purple
Sprouting
Broccoli with
Toasted Almond
Butter or Turnips
& Kale in Horseradish
Cream.

IN SUMMARY
As we left, our stomachs full and eyes wide open to the culinary
heritage that has just landed on our doorstep, we thanked Simon
our host (and God!) that we live a mere 10 minutes away from The
Victoria. We said we’d be back in a heartbeat and we have already
booked our next meal, true to our word!
The Victoria, Oxshott exceeded our expectations.
Whether you want a dinner for a special occasion, a casual lunch
with your friends or just a pint by the roaring fire - there is something
for everyone here. Dog friendly, child friendly and most definitely
top-notch food and service friendly.
We hope you enjoy as much as we did.
