Imperial Inn Hereford in Herefordshire, County of

Somewhere to go if you want something quick and reasonably priced without having to always reserve a seat. Does the job. Polite staff.

Only went there in afternoon so can't give a proper experience food good service was satisfactory but not much going on in afternoon but have visited a number of times and will return again.

Fantastic pub! The food is always very tasty and is served hot. The staff are all very friendly, we have been served by Tyler the last few visits who is always very helpful! The atmosphere is excellent with a great variety of music playing at a good volume in which you can still socialise. The Imperial is always clean, tidy and very presentable. Pricing is fair and good value for money considering the high quality food. We’ve never had a bad experience at The Imperial will be back again soon!

Good pub grub, well stocked bar.

Great beer garden and nice food

I am a delivery driver. Seams to have a few different kinds of kitchen

Nice pub good staff. Wine was good.

Lovely sporadic family meal my three year old eats so well here and such value for money. Lovely staff, atmosphere and food is always a bargain and taste great!

Fantastic service from lovely people. Fran was an excellent server. The chef (ben) was on point! Food was decadent and has a stream- line ordering process that puts alot of other pubs to shame. Im very thankful for a lovely time. 5 stars!!

Food was great! Server fran was lovely! 🤗

Service was excellent, the food was a little pale looking and not hot, it did however taste pretty good, colour in chicken goes a long way.

Georgina our waitress was incredibly welcoming and patient with us and the children we were with and the food was lovely

I was served by Georgia who was lovely, and my food was cooked by Jack and it was brilliant.

Nice pub very relaxing atmosphere

Food nice and hot, well presented, cooked by Maddie, place nice and clean, no rush, Sky was lovely

We received a warm welcome and enjoyed a lovely meal, which was served promptly by friendly, helpful staff.

Basically we drive for an hour regularly to come here because we love it so much. The food is excellent, always a friendly atmosphere, the outside is brilliant especially in the summer but also parts under cover for the winter. Thank you to Tyler for taking time out to make us welcome and help us make food choices, nothing is ever too much trouble and always greeted with a big smile even at the busiest of times. And as always, thank you Jake for the warmest welcome Just a very nice place to be.

Great place to stop for a drink or a bite to eat. The food is excellent, and the service is superb,Tyler the barman is an absolute credit to the pub, nothing is too much trouble for him and he such a friendly guy.Highly recommend you try the Imperial next time you visit Hereford.

Standard pub grub. Found app very hard work but staff really nice.

Jake was fantastic, so attentive and so friendly.

Great pub,good food and lovely staff! What more could you want ! Burgers was amazing.

Always the best service from Jake, thank you!

Had a lovely time for a birthday meal. Jake made sure everything was in order and came out with a birthday surprise for my mum, he always goes above and beyond.

Such great service from Jake, every single time! Always above and beyond, especially at birthday celebrations!

Great at sorting my intolerances and very dog friendly

Quick service, food choices were good.

Lovely place, nice food never have a problem.served by sky, such a lovely polite lady, very welcoming.

Jake was amazing! Really friendly and attentive and laughed and joked with the kids. Good food and drinks in a friendly, relaxing atmosphere.

Jake was lovely and very friendly

Sky was very polite and the food jack made was perfect.

It's OK I have been three times. Every time were slightly different. Full English breakfast about 9.50 £ without drink. Breakfast for less than 10 quid. Big portion, enough for me.

Called in for a breakfast. Small breakfast £7.49 Nicely presented with friendly staff. Tasted lovely too.

Excellent pub in city center to have a bite in. Lovely staff and food is very good.

We were a group of 13 and were in Hereford for the annual beer festival. We went to the Imperial for lunch at the same time last year and had such a good time, we went back! All the staff are friendly and helpful. We dealt mainly with Jake, who is a brilliant host. The food was lovely and there was plenty of it. There was a very good range of real ales too, which is always a bonus for us CAMRA members! See you again next year! 😊

Tyler was absolutely fantastic, wonderful and kind. He served us the most wonderful cocktails, was so kind and attentive to me and my friends, give this man a raise!!! 😃😃😃

Simply poor quality food, worse than the meals served by Wetherspoons with a bigger price tag... Didn't enjoy, won't be back with the poor quality and price :-(

My husband is very fussy when it comes to eating out. He was extremely happy with the cooking of his steak! Compliments to the chef 👩‍🍳 lovely meal. friendly staff and clean throughout 👌

Food wasn't that great for the price, I had lasagne there was like one sheet of pasta and all sauce. I ordered extra chips as I'm not keen on garlic bread. When my meal came out it was disappointing overall with the poxy small portion of frozen chips that I paid extra and the 2 tiny bits of garlic Bread my meal come to £16 wasn't worth it all for the price I wasn't even full. What I would like to of seen was bigger portions for the price, and better produce. My partners meal was the same small scampi and chips. We were still hungry afterwards, would not recommend.

Ordered 2 fish and chips, the fish was lovely and let down massively with cold chips and undercooked peas served on paper that ripped as you cut the fish....when asked if everything was ok with the meal we expressed how bad the chips, peas & paper were and the server replied oh have you finished now then...took the plates.

Have been eating at the Imperial for over 25 years.Always great value. Visited last week after refurbishment. Looks lovely but food very sparse and disappointing. Prices have almost doubled whilst portions halved. Most disappointed. Won't go again. I,had chicken tikka, chips,narn bread and a popadom. Sauce like thin soup..ha4dly any chicken. Chips below average and small portion. Very small earn and popadom. My husband had steak pie and chips with few veggies. Pie hard and not much meat. They didn't even bother to ask if we enjoyed our meal lol. No w9ndwr there were very few people eating in there.

Tyler was amazing! We wanted cocktails and he recommended and even made us his own cocktails! We returned every night to see Tyler - top barman and cocktail maker would recommend this pub very good

First time staying in Hereford & we decided to eat here. We're so glad we did. Our group sat outside, we ordered our food & drink inside, chatting to Jake, who was so welcoming from behind the bar. The food was soon bought to the table my Ben. He made sure we were all happy & had everything we needed. We actually stayed for more drinks, as we were having such a great evening.

Amazing food was cooked amazingly by who I assume was Ben & Dylan... The guys at the bar where brilliant even if they did trick my partner into drinking the strawberry flavoured cider (poison) by all accounts :D Served by jake :)

Always enjoy food and drinks here. Staff always make you feel welcome, Jake especially. He always remembers his customers and their "usual" drink , always nice to see a friendly face when I go in.

I'm a regular customer in the imp as I call it. love getting served by Tyler asset to the company always pours the perfect pint

I was served by Tyler today I came in with my son. He's always funny and kind makes us feel so welcome. Always knows what drinks we like. Love the imperial xx

Geogia was amazing with great service

Had a great meal when with partner and friends in this great pub,will deffo return when back in Hereford.

Great and quick service for us both and the dog from Georgia! Good food from Josh in the kitchen, Highly recommend!

Staff are really helpful and professional at the same time. Food is great we travel 50 miles every 2-3 weeks for Sunday lunch and is worth every mile. Jake, Georgia, Gareth, Charlie and Sky were very helpful and made the meal extra special. Thank you.

We had a nice cosy nook to hide away and have drinks and pudding. Service was friendly. Exactly what we wanted. Sky and Charlie did a great job 👍

Amazing service from Georgia, super friendly and very helpful

Eaten here two nights on the trot, food really good value

Most disgusting mix grill we've ever had! Chicken must of been boiled and was inedible. Tbf I've had a boiled egg less dry. Steak was toughier than my doc Martin boot asking for it to be medium rare. I couldn't get my knife through it at all. Partners ordered a mix grill also and his was sadly the same. Ordered extras and after sometime realised they hadn't arrived. Spoke to the manager and he checked out order on the till which was correctly showing our extras. After speaking to the kitchen staff who was insisting they had sent it. The manager could see by the lack of bowls on the table we hadn't received it. At this point I asked one of the kitchen staff to take back our meals including our 1 year daughters food. Stating the problems with the meals Ordered a simple mash sausage and peas. The mash was like cement, peas were like dried up raisins. And you couldn't physically cut the sausage because the was so tough it was a choking hazard. No staff members came up to us to apologise or offer a resolution. Quite sad as we have eaten here before and I was pleasant. If all food served is like this then this place needs to stop serving now.

Lovely food prepared by Josh, and served by a very smiley Sky 😊 Lovely atmosphere.

We had to wait 10 Minutes to order, as we came at Breakfast time. When we ordered the food and drinks came fast, it was very tasty, hot and not too expensive. It was during the week, before official lunch time, so cant say how it is at busy times.

Great pub! Will definitely be back. Jake and Andy was very welcoming. Thanks the imperial☺️☺️ The fish and chips cooked by Jack was stunning.

A really great find in Hereford. Food was fast and as advertised. Drinks were served quickly. The landlord gave a great welcome, including water and treats for our dog. All staff were caring. Lovely place and well worth a visit.

Lush food, fast service and epic dj. Jake was fab

Came for lunch with my sister, ended up staying for over two hours. Food was lovely. Jake who served us was great, very friendly guy

Food was standard - staff were disgustingly rude, not helpful at all, we were made to feel like an inconvenience. AVOID unless you want to be spoken to like rubbish. Staff’s attitude absolutely stinks, clearly all need training on their customer service. Edit : After the response I have received I am even more livid about the situation! When we first arrived I waited at the bar because we had a booking when the man behind the bar finally came over to serve us I said “hi I have a booking at 1pm with my name” he proceeded to look at me blankly and say “right” then walked off came back and pointed at a table and said “over there” RUDE. What this company is referencing in this response is a 30 year old man on our table was refused alcohol as he didn’t have his ID with him, we were completely fine with this and said that is fair enough. We carried on with our lunch by ordering on the app, they brought our starters out with our mains which we said to our waiter “oh sorry we ordered starters and mains are they coming out together?” and told us “if you didn’t want it like that you should have come to the bar” no where does it say you have to inform the bar, WHAT IS THE POINT OF THE APP? When my mums steak arrived we had paid extra for peppercorn sauce and what we received was literally a lick at the bottom of the jar. My mum politely said “excuse me is there any chance I could get a little bit more please as there is nothing in there” to which another staff member over heard from across the restaurant and shouted “that’s how it comes in the packet” The attitude on the staff was absolutely disgusting, rolling eyes, dirty looks, tutting. After reading other reviews it is very clear your customer service means nothing to your establishment!

Treated my 18 Yr old daughter to some lunch, ordered 2 pints larger shandy the barman asked for her ID which she showed him. Then went outside to a table for this very rude man to come over to us and say"did you just drink that" to my daughter he said show me your ID to which I asked who are you he said he was the licensee, I explained the barman had already checked it otherwise she wouldn't be drinking alcohol, he did this in front of other customers instead of waiting until we were seated and politely coming over to ask.

Lovely food and service with a smile 😁

Fabulous, once again. Lee and I love Hereford and you are the pub I love, for personal reasons. I worked at RNC, all those years ago. Midland Red buses got me back to Hereford, before last orders and you were the place I came to. Memories and they stick there. Thanks again. Nigel

I was given a glass of wine from a bottle that had clearly been open for a long time and tasted awful. I took a sip of the wine and realised this. I told this to the gentleman at the bar and asked if I could have a glass of wine from a new bottle. He said he would have to charge me for it. I said that I had only had one sip and he could measure it to check. He said I’d still have to pay all over again. I left the glass and took my business elsewhere.

Jake was brilliant, polite and a warm environment

A splendid evening, Madi kept the kitchen open and Jake was a convivial host to our celebratory party.

Jake and Grant were excellent servers! Polite, engaging and helped to recommend some excellent dishes - all prepared expertly by Ben and Madi. Great setting and good all-round visit.

Food perfectly cooked and presented by Jack , service was excellent and a lovely touch from all the staff with the birthday card, balloon and goody bag, made the experience perfect. Would highly recommend the Turkey roast and will definitely be back again

Jake was fantastic, very attentive and accommodating. The food was fast and tasty, thank you Jason!

Super. Good range of food and excellent wine choices. Friendly and knowledgable serice. Thank you Tyler & Ben.

Always a firm favourite. Great staff. Food is super quick and yummy! Can't get enough of pie and mash. Extra gravy is a winner! Never had a bad meal. Toilets clean and tidy. Very popular place.

Lovely food, great service and didn’t break the bank, special mention to Jake our excellent waiter and Madi who cooked our food ❤️

We were served by the happy smiley Ellie. Great service from a lovely lady she went out of her way to ensure the table was clean and we had everything we needed. Checked back to see if we were ok. We had a great meal in a lovely pub. Very enjoyable big shout out to Ellie she’s a credit to your business 👍 John and Deb on holiday 😊

Similar to a wetherspoons, straight forward but good

Bar is empty but you have to go to the till to be served as the staff do not come to you. They look at you as if you have 2 heads for standing at the bar not near a till. Service needs a major revamp. Respect your customer as customer retention is vital.

Nipped into the Imperial on a day trip to Hereford and so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, the manager (we think it was the manager) was very accomodating by moving several tables together to allow for our party of 8 (plus dog) to sit together. The atmosphere was very friendly and the staff were very attentive without being overbearing. The manager brought some fresh water and dog treats over for the dog (obviously) and we then ordered our meal. We were extremely impressed with the speed our food was served and the quality was exceptional all round. Overall, very good value for money. Stand out staff were Tash and Jack (who prepared our food) and then Tyler and especially Mia who served us. I can't recommend the Imperial enough and we'll definitely be going back there if we're back in Hereford. Great job guys!

A lovely find in the centre of town. We had Sunday lunch, which was very good.Very friendly staff (think it was Charlie at the bar). All made to feel very welcome and a great spot for the boys to watch the football. Thanks 😊

Love the place always polite and remembered every Sunday thanks guys.

Lovely food hubby had a steak said it's one of the best he's had! Staffcfriendly and helpful.

Chloe was absolutely sensational, very attentive to the kids xxx

Great place, with a barman giving a great service.

So glad we found it. Great staff polite and happy lovely food I had a mixed grill best I have ever had and a good price. You have got to try the place....

It was a nice pub, a bit overpriced for what you got but the staff were very good.

Special mention to Tyler who served us with a friendly and warm approach. Thank you - super service! Thank you Jason for our yummy food!

Only had a single pint quick service but the drink was a bit dead

Had the afternoon tea 29/01/24 Was absolutely lovely, well worth the price. 😊 jake was so lovely.

A typical chain pub.The food was fine, well cooked and not too expensive.Plenty of seating areas.The staff were lovely.

Met up for lunch with some friends. We were able to find a table easily, good menu choice then served quickly at the till. The food came out quickly too & was very tasty. Staff friendly too

Burger was cold when it arrived. The waitress didn't know which of our coffee's was decaf. So, only 1 star for food & service.

Nice enough place, but I found the price of drinks very high unfortunately 😕

Went for breakfast, Great experience, Chloe was very polite and helpful, Well done Chloe keep up the good work :-)

Only popped in for a quick pint, meeting friends. I'll have second thoughts in future. £6.60 for a pint of session ale, neck oil..... A tad expensive for Hereford. Decor OK.

Fab food and lovely atmosphere. Thanks to Jake for hospitality and Tash for the amazing Sunday lunch.

Jumped on by dogs from irresponsible owners.

The Imperial Inn was clean & extremely friendly, this was my first visit with family of 10 & shall definitely return & recommend, Jake was amazing, very friendly & went above & beyond, I believe the food was prepared by Charlie & was delicious, one of the nicest roast dinners I have had in a long while. Our visit was Sunday 4 February 2024, table 16. Thank you 😘 xx

The food OMG was fantastic the staff Jake Tash Ellie and Tyler I take my hat off to you all

Very nice Sunday roast dinner. 3 of us had the triple roast and 1 roast pork. Extra Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes if you wanted them plus good thick rich gravy. Nice crumble and sticky toffee pudding again very tasty. Good service from the staff Jake very friendly and attentive and thanks to chef Tash for a tasty lunch. As you can see in the photo nothing left.

The best pub, lovely food and good friendly staff always go above and beyond too make you happy. 100% recommend ☺️☺️

Good staff, Jake and Tyler working the bar well, not too much of a hold up for service. Well done boys!
