There is no East – West divide for us. Our humble beginnings were in this very pub, serving seafood to doors during those dreaded lockdowns, it kept us busy, kept us on our bikes and kept our knives sharp. The Victoria by it’s own rights is a fantastic homage to the British coastline. In some ways it’s like Faber returning to the family home for the weekend. A visit to mum and dad’s place.
Unlike a visit to mum and dad we won’t be resting on our laurels while our patrons rush around looking after us. We will be hosting a unique night of what Faber does best. Meet our team, experience dishes from around our isles and enjoy the company of others, friends and strangers who will soon become friends. Our menu is below, it’s not one to miss…
Our wonderful event will start at 7pm but feel free to have a pint in the pub downstairs beforehand. Tickets available to pre-book in advance only. And we know this will be popular so you can expect more events in the future as we explore more ingredients as the seasons go on.

It won’t stop with a simple visit to the Victoria, we plan to run more events across London and wider afield. Coming this spring we will be hosting events at The Somers Town Coffee House & introducing you to our wonderful suppliers for World Ocean Day.
Like everything we do, our events are a showcase for our wonderful shorelines and the world class ingredients the communities around the coast create and bring to us.
We will also be out on the road (or tramlines) going native and visiting the coastline to take you to where we pluck our ingredients as part of our summer retreat programs. Sign up and follow us for more info.
