Victoria Hotel is run by Sarah Pilgrim and Sean Morris. Leaving sleepy Fishguard in Wales, Chef Patron Sean Morris started his hospitality career in the kitchens of London's Claridges Hotel.

After completing his training with London's Savoy Group Sean worked in the South of France where he caught the travel bug. Working in Food and Beverage management Sean travelled to Melbourne joining the Regent Hotel where he met his wife and business partner Sarah and started his love affair with Australia.

Together Sean and Sarah joined the Intercontinental Hotel Group and travelled through Europe, Africa and the Middle East managing hotels in Athens, Cairo and the United Arab Emirates. In settling back in Australia in 2006 the couple fell in love with The Vic and Rutherglen, and the hotels's potential to become one of Victoria's premiere Food and Wine destinations.
