The Victory is under new management and has resumed daily opening. Closing time may be earlier or later according to demand. The main bar in the shape of a galleon dates back to a pirate-themed refurbishment in the late 1980s. Further back is a long and narrow rear seating area that incorporates a minstrels' gallery, pool table and skittle alley. The place buzzes when pub teams play at home or on Saturdays or when local bands gig, but it can be quieter at other times. Quiz on Tuesday evenings. Hereford Brewery, located to the rear of the premises, is a completely separate operation.
