Clean. Reliable. Does the job.

The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.

Decent food, friendly staff, expect some quirks.

The Imperial might look like just another pub, but it offers decent food alongside a friendly atmosphere that feels welcoming. Chris, the bartender, apparently knows how to keep patrons happy with top-tier service that could turn your average lunch into a highlight of your week. On a good day, you might even feel like a VIP here.

However, the experience can be a bit hit or miss. Some diners rave about the food quality, while others find themselves stuck waiting for their orders longer than they’d like. Plus, you might have to navigate a few quirks, like questionable entry policies. But if you’re in the area, it’s a solid pub to grab a drink and a bite, just manage your expectations.
