Victoriam, Oxshott
If you are looking for a more formal pub, The Victoria pub in Oxshott, Surrey is where you want to book. Featuring freshly-cooked dishes, the menu consists of French classics alongside British pub favourites with a focus on seasonal ingredients. Chef director Matt Larcombe was once head chef at The Crown at Bray, and met manager Simon King when they both worked for Heston Blumenthal and opened The Victoria in August last year. House favourites include their Beer battered oysters and Beef Wellington, which Grace Dent described as “the finest beef wellington I will eat in this lifetime”.

Their drinks offering is something to behold; behind the bar you’ll find an excellent range of local and continental craft beer and a wine list that has something for everyone. With a fully heated and covered beer garden, it’s the perfect establishment to visit this easter weekend (no matter the weather). And if you needed one more reason to visit, they have a pizza oven in their garden offering a variety of eccentric toppings you won’t be able to refuse.
