SousChef About us:
Where are we?
The Victoria is a stunning Young's pub in the heart of Surbiton, proudly standing on its busy High Street. We've got great bus links from Kingston, Chessington and Norbiton & we're only a couple of stops on the train from Wimbledon, Esher, Weybridge & can get to us from anywhere!
What do we do?
We're a locals local with great food. We're proud to serve the best seasonal British dishes with specials that are inspired by our customer's & team's travels, with a special investment in our Sunday roast (scoring 5 stars from The Guardian). We pride ourselves on excellent customer service, a warm welcome and product knowledge like no other pub in Surbiton, from our famous Young's Original beer to our stunning wine selection, we know our stuff & can't wait to show you what's what!
We love to have fun with our food and drink & our Burger Shack is a true testament to this. We are the only pub in Surbiton with a Burger Shack, Young's institution serving up the juiciest patties with chicken wings, Louisiana hot sauces and spud nuggets! The Burger Shack backs onto our famous garden. An oasis in the middle of a bustling High Street, covered & heated in the winter and open to those glorious rays in the summer!
