    Warm welcome at the front door. Restaurant was extremely busy but not a very long wait for our meals. Had table near fire for a cool Woodend night. Usual pub fare with generous servings. Staff were excellent. Highly recommended.

    I was there yesterday to celebrate my husband's 70th Birthday and we all enjoyed our lunch at the Victoria. The staff were friendly and very helpful with the children. We were made to feel welcome and the food was superb. Even the children's menu had a wide selection, instead of just the usual chicken nuggets you get in most restaurants. My husband and I highly recommend the Victoria beef pie and the seafood pot pie. It's a nice drive to Woodend, and the Victoria is a warm, welcoming place to dine. Thank you to all the staff and the chef for the lovely lunch. Hope to come again soon.

    Schnitzel was crispy though a little dry. Needed the mushroom gravy which was very good with plenty of mushrooms in it. The fish pie pot was very tasty but with not much fish and one small prawn, it is not good value for money. Will probably come again when in the area but will be more selective on my choice. Stick to good pub basics.

    Love the open fire and quiet environment. The carpeted area means you can have a decent conversation without competing with other conversations. Good food and local wines

    The Vic in Woodend is a family favourite. There’s always something on the menu to suit everyone. Such delightful staff that are so obliging with requests. A cosy fire roaring on a chilly winter evening is the icing on the cake.
