4/5 Lloyd S. 2 years ago on Google
This
was
our
first
visit
to
the
Queen
Victoria
in
Theydon
Bois
and
I
can
honestly
say
that
it
won’t
be
our
last.
We’d
been
wanting
to
come
for
a
while
and
on
Sunday
we
finally
had
the
chance.
The
result
was
very
positive
with
great
food
,
good
service
and
a
very
friendly
atmosphere.
The
pub
is
situated
in
the
heart
of
Theydon
Bois
with
ample
parking
at
the
front
and
rear.
As
you
enter
there
is
the
bar
area
on
the
right
with
the
dining
room
with
table
service
on
the
left.
But
you
can
actually
eat
anywhere
including
outside.
When
we
arrived
we
received
a
nice
friendly
welcome
before
we
were
shown
to
our
table.
We
then
ordered
a
drink
while
we
looked
at
the
menus
to
which
there
was
a
choice
of
the
main
menu
as
well
as
the
addition
of
a
selection
of
sunday
roasts.
We
decided
to
start
with
a
selection
of
crusty
bread
which
came
with
balsamic
,
olive
oil
&
butter.
For
our
starters
we
chose
the
Stilton
Pork
Pie
accompanied
with
watercress
&
piccalilli
as
well
as
the
Posh
Whitebait
with
smoked
paprika
,
homemade
tartare
sauce
,
crispy
kale
&
lemon.
These
were
to
delightful
dishes
and
a
great
way
to
begin.
Now
it
was
time
for
our
roasts.
My
wife
chose
the
Slow
Roasted
Lamb
Shank.
For
myself
i
chose
to
have
the
Hand
Carved
Roasted
Sirloin
of
Beef.
The
roasts
came
with
braised
red
cabbage
,
seasonal
vegetables
,
roast
potatoes
,
yorkshire
pudding
&
gravy.
You
could
also
add
items
to
your
roast
and
I
just
couldn’t
resist
so
opted
to
add
cauliflower
cheese
&
pork
loin
to
create
a
monster
of
a
roast
dinner.
It
was
now
time
to
finish
with
two
fabulous
desserts
and
for
these
we
chose
the
Salted
Caramel
Profiteroles
with
chocolate
sauce
and
the
Apple
Crumble
Tart
with
oats
,
cinnamon
&
vanilla
ice
cream.
We
finished
with
a
coffee
to
bring
to
an
end
a
great
sunday
lunch.
The
food
was
very
good
and
was
matched
by
friendly
service
from
all
the
staff
but
especially
our
waitress
Natalie
who
was
excellent
and
a
credit
to
the
hospitality
industry.
I
would
definitely
recommend
a
visit
and
are
looking
forward
returning
again
soon
to
try
the
food
from
the
main
menu.
Many
Thanks
to
all
the
team
for
a
fabulous
lunch
and
look
forward
to
seeing
you
all
again
soon.
