What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?
The Princess Victoria, a pub at 217 Uxbridge Road in Shepherd's Bush, London, was the third stop in the Season 5 London episode aired 2016-11-04, where TVDB's listing says Catucci tried a traditional Sunday roast. The pub's own website describes it as one of the original gin palaces, built in 1829, with five bedrooms on the top floor, and lists free-range Sunday roasts. Time Out reported on 2017-07-04 that the pub had abruptly closed the previous Friday. A Hammersmith & Fulham Council news item filed under September 2017 announced that the pub was set to reopen under three new owners, with a British-themed menu, a front terrace and more than 100 gins. The pub's website, viewed 2026-10-20, carries a 2026 copyright, news items dated 2026-05-07 and 2026-05-18, and kitchen hours that include Sunday lunch.
