This place is always hopping and if we arrived before 5:30 pm I'm sure we would have gotten an outside table in front of the restaurant but we were outrun by minutes by another group on a sunny Monday evening! So we opted to go...to the back of the restaurant which is a sunny white brick room so we eventually sweated back there as it became a slow oven for us. Food is a bit pricey for what it was ($5 for a Phillips root beer!); the sizes were reminiscent of European portions (Ploughmans; Nicoise salad, which was good BTW). Service was slow and we waited well over 30 minutes for our food. Interestingly, the bus-girl wore a mask but our hostess and server did not. Clearly this pub has its locals and a great vibe but I wouldn't come here on an empty stomach. If you are yearning for that English pub vibe though and want to chat and drink without worrying about your volume, this is your go-to. Free street-parking and limited parking at back of building.More

Great English Pub on Oak Bay Ave. Stoped for Lunch and sat on the patio, you cant beat this location. Food was excellent. Service was excellent. Highly recommend this pub.

we had lunch on a sunday afternoon and chose to sit inside at the back on the main floor.... lots of natural sunlight and although we were inside, there are so many windows that you almost feel outside... i enjoyed the atmosphere and the servers...were really friendly and efficient. i ordered a flat bread pizza and had a drink.... the food was just ok - i would order something different next time but overall i enjoyed my visit to this pubMore

My wife and I visit Victoria and Oak Bay frequently. This is our go-to place for cozy, delicious, consistent, and authentic British-style pub atmosphere and food. My wife is Scottish, and it's like a taste of home for her. Any bad reviews on here in...my opinion would have to be outliers and exceptions to the rules. I love the fish and chips, as good as any I've ever had in Scotland or England, including the mushy peas. Scotch eggs are good too. I wish they would start serving jellied eels :)More

Classic English pub charm. Warm & cosy. Pub food was delicious, with the exception of the Niçoise salad (meh at best). Unfortunately the service was really slow. Meals for different people came out at different times, some things were lukewarm, struggled to get server’s attention......Anyway in spite of the service hiccups it was still an enjoyable experience and we will still likely be back another day. Kids are welcome in the back room only. Call ahead to reserve - they only have two high chairs.More

Nice atmosphere but the food disappointing at the price charged even for a pub. Butter chicken was brown meat, tiny quanity oif ric and chutney. A month ago this dish was somewhat better. The pasta special at $27 was disppointing.More

We had been here on a previous occasion and always wanted to return. Today we did. Arrived after lunch hour crowd. Tables available, no wait. Service was great, meals were perfect. Ambiance a bit Pub style but not really typical of most on this continent....Better than must pubs.More
