The Victoria - Bikers Pub

Ik was blij met: Basic but friendly. Poor toilet and shower facilities. It us important to keep food safe as the place has a rat infestation.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Rat infestation

Van de manager: its not an infestation, you seen a rat, rats are everywhere and as we are sittuated next to a copse and industrial estate you do get the odd rat and mouse sniffing around that live in there, we have special traps that catch these vermin and are ALWAYS containing poison, we use these as we dont want to harm cats,birds and the like,it states in the itinery that the outside toilet is nothing more than a portaloo converted to flush toilet and shower, not the ritz I know but most normal people are ok with it, you were offered the use of the pub showers and toilets anyway, do you think your getting a little old for camping, asking for a friend.......................

Ik was blij met: Nothing

Ik was niet zo blij met: Why this site is on pitchup I don't know, it's the worst site we have been on. The place to park was full of scrap caravans and rubbish. If it hadn't been so late we would have driven off. Avoid. Landlord will say get a life, I'm sure.

Ik was blij met: You don't see this very often with motorhoming where you can get the level of entertainment the Victoria provided during our stay!
Staff were helpful and welcoming and overall we had a lovely stay

Ik was blij met: Nothing!

Ik was niet zo blij met: Everything! It’s like a scrapyard for caravans, campers and knackered boats! There is old junk and piles of scrap everywhere and it looks like some homeless people are occupying some of the decaying vans. Don’t even ask about the toilet facilities as I don’t want to put anyone off their tea. I wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy.

Van de manager: WHAT AN EXAGERATION !!!! you provide your own accomadation,was it that bad, we dont allow children on site, HOMELESS we have a few contractors staying here that work in the area but go home at weekends unless on overtime, customer service i stronghly disagree, have you got pictures to prove what your stating, I have a few small boats that are being restored ..NOT in the camping area, read the itinery of the site it states a portaloo with a shower and flush toilet, or use the pub facilities,its been quite acceptible by most people for a good while, read the reviews.... we say its a very basic site,ideal for just for a stopover, Cleanliness, nothing wrong with the camping area which is where you paid to stop over.. GET A LIFE

Ik was blij met: Played with my band and camped for the night! Close to the venue.
Great place for music and good beer and food!

Ik was blij met: The pub. My band was playing, so it was perfect that we could stay in the van overnight.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Luckily we weren't camping, but those that were had very little choice of where to pitch.
The site is safe and level, but is basically the pub overspill car park.
There were several caravans there that looked like people lived in them full time.

Ik was blij met: Friendly place, good ale, great weather, met some lovely locals.
Close to town and supermarkets and walking/cycling paths

Ik was niet zo blij met: Facilities are very poor and it’s a shame there’s no food available especially as it’s advertised on the windows! Car park is uneven with tree roots where the tourers stay.
