The Victoria Public House was built in 1865 and was previously known as The Cricketers. At this time there was another pub situated on the Bedford Rd with the same name , this naturally lead to confusion, so the two Landlords decided to settle the matter by meeting on neutral ground between the two premises, Butts Close. Some say the matter was settled by simply tossing a coin, although others suggest a more scrappy affair occurred. Either way The Cricketers on the Bedford Rd, now the Silver Moon, won and in Victorian times it was very popular to choose Royal titles so this pub was re-named and The Victoria was born.

Originally it was a "Spit and Sawdust" pub and earlier in the twentieth century the barns at the back of the buildings were used for selling feed for animals such as pigs, hens and rabbits.

The Victoria has since been greatly extended and modernised to become the comfortable pub with pleasant surroundings that it is today.

The Victoria is proud to be working in connection with local art gallery
"Nearly Orange" who have supplied all of the original canvas paintings that you see before you in The Victoria.

Each piece is for sale so if you would like to support local artists and take an original piece of art home then please ask at the bar for further information.
