Testimonials

Well, what a party this venue can throw; we had an absolute blast! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience at Victoria. The venue was absolutely stunning and is a beautiful blend of vintage charm and modern elegance. The food was truly impeccable. Every dish was not only delicious but beautifully presented. As a gay couple, we felt welcomed and respected every step of the way. The team at Victoria made us feel comfortable, celebrated, and supported throughout the entire process, which made all the difference for us. Throughout the whole process, the staff were professional, kind, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. We felt truly cared for and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. From the bottom of our hearts thank you, for a day we’ll cherish forever. Love is love

“From start to finish, planning our wedding with the Victoria & The Mowbray team was an absolute breeze. They were always on hand, incredibly helpful with every question, and nothing was ever too much trouble. The day itself was fantastic – both venues were set up beautifully, and we felt so well looked after by the team. We didn’t have to worry about a thing, which meant we could simply relax, soak it all in, and truly enjoy every moment. The food was absolutely exceptional – our guests are still raving about it! The sharing plates made the meal feel so fun and sociable, adding a lovely, relaxed energy to the day. We honestly couldn’t recommend these venues and the amazing team enough. Again, thank you so so much for such an exceptional day!”

We couldn't have asked for a better experience with the team at Victoria... Everything and everyone was perfect, from start to finish of the whole process we felt completely relaxed and knew everything was being taken care of. We were able to customise the day with ease. It's really difficult to put into words how perfect the day was and how much of that was down to everyone at the Victoria. Everything just looked amazing, it felt cool and unique. So many guests have commented on how great the venue, the food and the drinks were.

We were so glad we chose to have our wedding at Victoria! We'd always wanted to get married somewhere full of character and history that was local to us and Victoria was the perfect choice! Our guests are still talking about how amazing the venue, food and staff were and what a brilliant time they had!

We honestly cannot put into words just how magical our wedding day was at The Victoria. We chose September hoping for lovely weather, and even though it rained, it didn’t spoil a single thing. In fact, it made the day feel even more cosy and magical. The Victoria caters perfectly for both, it has a beautiful outdoor space for sunshine, but also such a warm, intimate indoor setting that felt so inviting when the rain came. From the food (which our guests are still raving about, especially the Basque cheesecake!) to the incredible atmosphere, everything was better than we could have imagined. The team made the day run seamlessly, and we honestly felt so well looked after from start to finish. It’s a day we’ll treasure forever, and we couldn’t recommend The Victoria more highly to any couple looking for the perfect wedding venue.

Everything at the Victoria was perfect. We had an absolutely wonderful time at the Victoria. The entire evening was faultless. The staff were excellent and everything was so well organised. The food was mouth-watering and the portion sizes were generous. Everyone said they had a great time, and the only disappointing part was the night coming to an end. We can’t wait to organise future events at the Victoria. Thank you so much for the evening and for making my life as host so easy.

"As soon as we visited the Victoria, we knew it was the venue for us. We had our party on a Friday evening in January and enjoyed every single minute. All of our guests commented on how amazing the venue was. From the initial planning to the party itself, all of the team were so helpful and accommodating which really makes a difference to the experience. We already cannot wait to return to the venue for a supper club or something similar and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a super cool venue!"

A massive thank you to the team at the Victoria for hosting our engagement party.From the initial enquiry with Lucy Hughes and then the ongoing discussions and plans with Lucy Holford, the communication and support has been amazing. The Victoria is a stunning venue that will always hold special memories for us. We couldn’t have picked a better venue and will look forward to visiting again! The celebration was a great success, all our guests absolutely loved everything about the venue, and commented specifically on how great the bar staff were as well as the security staff during the party. Also a special mention to Cat for looking after us the night of the party. She’s couldn’t have done enough for us, and her help and support throughout the evening was fantastic and really helped everything run smoothly.

"I wanted a cool location for my London-based work colleagues to have a relaxed but informative meeting. I would recommend this place; Lucy and the team were great from start to finish. The food was delicious and well worth the money. I will definitely be booking again."

"Thank you for welcoming us to The Victoria for our small team meeting. Everything we needed was provided for - lots of space, easy IT access, lovely ambiance, great refreshments throughout the day and a tasty lunch."

"In July, I ran my first in-person workshop for my recently founded business, Emotional Finance. It was a day designed for women in financial services and I wanted the experience to feel spacious and professionally nourishing. The Victoria was the obvious choice. That feeling was echoed by the women who attended, many of whom shared how refreshing it was to be in a space with real soul, rather than the usual corporate boxes. The food was delicious, and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful or welcoming. It was the perfect setting for a day of depth, connection, and reflection. Thank you."

"As soon as I saw The Victoria, I knew that it would make the perfect venue for our events. As a company working at the leading edge of technology, presenting in a building with historic ties provided the perfect contrast to our content. It also offered a great talking point for our delegates. The team at The Victoria worked hard to make the day perfect, from booking and arrangements to room set up and on-the-day liaison. The food we booked was plentiful and delicious and the availability of the bar after the event gave us the opportunity to chat with the delegates once the formal proceedings had ended. We were working with seasoned presenters, and they all commented that the facilities for presenting were excellent."

"The venue was a great size and the team were eager to help and super friendly. This was really important to us as our brand values have customer service at the core, emphasizing a ‘nothing is too much trouble approach’ and your team really reflected that in the way they looked after our guests. Thank you so much for letting us make this happen in your fab space"

"Sheffield South East Learning Partnership hosted an all day conference across multiple rooms with various key speakers and workshops. The whole day ran like clockwork due to the organisation and onsite support from The Victoria team. The facilities are high quality and refreshingly 'not corporate'! The food was exquisite and a real treat. We will definitely book again!

"I cannot express enough how impressed I was with everyone involved in organising our Christmas party. Their attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring every aspect of our event was flawlessly executed, from the handwritten cards, stunning floral displays and beautiful lighting. On the night they handled everything with the utmost discretion, going above and beyond and always ready to assist with a smile. They had lots of ideas and suggestions which helped in planning our event. The room design was absolutely stunning, creating a beautiful Christmas atmosphere with a real wow factor for our guests. The delicious locally sourced food was incredible and we enjoyed some fabulous cocktails too. This team truly knows how to create an unforgettable experience and we have already booked again for Christmas 2025!"

"Such a gem of a place. Super stylish interiors with food to match. The breakfast trifle is top tier (as was THE sausage butty) and the Bullion cold foam could become an obsession. Defo my top choice for brunch in Sheffield"

"I just wanted to express our thanks for a superb evening last Thursday. The whole event was fantastic- the venue looked awesome, the service was great and the food was unbelievable. It was simply outstanding so thank you."

"This success of the summit wouldn't have been possible without the support, advice and vision from the team at The Victoria. We worked together to push beyond the lines of the space and test ideas and, by doing so, created an event which leaves an incredible legacy in South Yorkshire"

"The best food I've ever had at a wedding' - this was the quote of the day from our guests, it was all absolutely delicious! Everything went so smoothly and that's down to the talented team. Nothing was ever too much trouble, we're so thankful to all of you for making it so special."
