Steve C left this review about The Victoria
The Victoria is a tidy little corner boozer with deep red regal banquettes and stools either side of the central entrance that is faced by a grandfather clock. The attractive wood paneled bar counter runs up the left facing banquettes along the left-hand wall. I didn’t note any televisual distractions, but there was some background music playing. Premium keg and Carling were available from the bar that also supports six hand pumps that were drawing a nice drop of Bass alongside Salopian’s Oracle, Dancing Duck’s Ay Up and Dark Drake as well as Uttoxeter Brewing’s Bartley Bitter. I thought the service was polite and I would have stayed longer if I had more time.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Victoria
Stands out from a distance with its yellowish (almost mustard) paintwork, and as you approach you find a pleasingly symmetrical bow-windowed frontage. The 'L'-shaped interior has been refurbished in an attractive semi-traditional style too, with various interesting pictures on the walls and other decorative features too. Four of six handpumps in use when we visited, dispensing Bass (£1.50, half), Doom Bar, Hobgoblin and Staffordshire Black Grouse Stout. Well worth the short walk out from the town centre.

A really nice little corner pub. An L-shaped pub with comfortable red banquette seating all around. 6 handpumps on the bar with 2 from Falstaff on. Lots of Victorian/early 20th Century photos on the walls. A grandfather clock greets you as you enter. I really liked this place.

This is a small old school corner pub. Inside it's L shaped with wooden flooring around the bar and a carpeted area on the other side. There are six hand pumps that on my visit had Bass, Joules Blonde, Salopian Oracle & Silhouette, one from Ran Brewery and Mobberley Galena Stout.
I went for the Galena Stout (£2.90) which was in excellent condition and very reasonably priced.
It's GBG 2016 listed.
