My partner and I were celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary on Tuesday 13.10.26 - we were greeted at the door by Layla and during our meal we were also looked after by Gemma - the service , food and atmosphere were great - we highly recommend the Venue and look forward to returning one day .

The Victoria in Woodend is such a special find. We absolutely loved the English touches throughout the menu, with the scotch egg and sausage rolls being standout dishes. Also the sticky toffee pudding and chocolate mousse is NOT TO BE MISSED!!!!!! It’s also fantastic to see somewhere that caters so thoughtfully for coeliac, with so much choice and care clearly going into the menu. What really makes this place stand out, though, is the people. You can feel the love and passion from the whole team, especially Emily, the manager. Her enthusiasm and genuine care shine through in the atmosphere, the food and the overall experience. As an English person living in Australia, it’s lovely to find somewhere that brings a little taste of home to the Macedon Ranges. We felt so welcome and comfortable, and it’s somewhere we can see ourselves returning to time and time again. A real local gem with fantastic food, a welcoming atmosphere and a team who genuinely care. Highly recommend!
