I had the most amazing birthday lunch at the Imperial, scrumptious lamb shank served by the friendliest staff. The lovely staff gifted me a divine moonshine shot, very moreish and a yummy sticky toffee pudding which I relished too. Will be back again.

Amazing local pub, the staff are all lovely and very friendly. The pub itself is comfy and cosy plus they have an amazing beer garden and covered outdoor seating area! The food is absolutely unreal and out does almost all the other food I've had in a pub! Highly recommended

We arranged our wake for my Dad and Jo and the team at the Imperial were amazing! Really helpful and supportive on the run up, set up and on the day. It's hard when you have no idea how many are coming, but the Imperial team were able to adapt and work with us when a lot more than expected turned up. Definitely be coming back soon!

Now this place has changed and for the better, we popped in and the new landlord was very welcoming, restaurant was fully booked which is a very good sign, prices are good for both beer and food, landlord even asked us if we wanted another drink whilst we were sat down busy talking to new friends so we didn't have to get up, now this is what I call hospitality at it's best, you must pop in if you're in Ivybridge you won't be disappointed plus they have a beautiful beer garden at the back, 10 out of 10 from us

Delicious food and fantastic service. Really good vegan choices, I had the Mediterranean tart which was well cooked and seasoned. My family had the roast beef which they enjoyed. The berry tart was also very good. The service was really attentive and friendly, which is rare these days. The portions were generous, the price was reasonable considering we had main courses with alcohol. Highly recommend.

The best of the best. The pub has been run by this family for the last year and they have transformed it. The atmosphere is incredible, they make everyone welcome. The food is the best in the area. There is a fabulous beer garden at the rear suitable for families and dogs. Well worth a visit!

The Sunday roast at the Imperial has now become a weekly staple for us! Amazing service from all the staff and the food was out very quick also. The roasts were lovely, great to see sausage and stuffing on the plates which you don’t see in many places anymore and the gravy was thick and tasted awesome. To finish off the chocolate brownie was a joy. We Will be returning and recommend this pub to everyone!

Food was lovely, could have done with a bit more spice for me personally, but that could ruin it for someone who doesn't like too much. The seafood was cooked to perfection, and the drinks were good also. I enjoyed my visit, and would definitely return. 😊

Ivybridge has been crying out for a pub serving decent food at a fair price and finally it has happened. Wonderful service from the staff behind the bar and waiting the tables , they genuinely seemed to care if you'd had an enjoyable experience! Absolutely loved my jerk tacos and I've not had chips that good for many years, actually real hand cut chips and not from frozen. Some lovely ciders on draught to enjoy in the large beer garden out back will make the Imperial a popular choice when/if the sun makes an appearance. The new owners have certainly made a statement here and I hope they and their team go from strength to strength.

Visited The Imperial this week and wow what a lovely welcome, a refreshing change from the normal run of the mill. The staff in my opinion were excellent communicators and took good care of my wife and I. The drinks arrived in double quick time followed by the scampi and chips. Also very dog friendly and made our little girl feel at home. Very clean and tidy I would recommend The Imperial a very enjoyable experience.

When the weather warms up and it stops raining there is a fabulous garden to enjoy too. These guys have got this bang on! They have the right combination of everything on offer. It’s so refreshing to find a pub like this.

Overall a fantastic place to go and we'll be back!

The imperial is by far one of the nicer pubs in Ivybridge. All of the staff are warm and welcoming, the food is value for money and they have a great selection behind the bar. We’ve been many times now - lovely Sunday roast, the curry nights are a great new addition but the real stand out is the specials board. Forever changing, it’s a great opportunity to try foods you never usually would. Superb. The fire is always on and the staff love it when you bring in a dog or two!

The Imp or “the imperial” has new owners. The food is really good and so is the service, I recommend the burger its probably one of the best I’ve had in the last few months.. however the roast was also amazing. When you walk in you’re often welcomed and the staff are polite and remember your order, the wait times are low. Perfect place to socialise with others and a good Beer garden to match. Big tv screen is also for the big games.

What a lovely place to spend an afternoon! We were fortunate to be able to sit outside on a lovely sunny day for lunch. The BBQ worked really well and you could easily spend the time ordering nibbles from the menu and drinking copious amounts of Rose

We realise that this restaurant cannot provide a large menu especially during the autumn /winter but on our evening the fish choice was not on (replaced with a lazy prawn dish) and out of two desserts the crumble was also not available! Feel this is lazy as there is so much fish available locally and the excuses to not provide an apple crumble is in fact rather lazy from the kitchen. If you only want to offer pizzas and burgers, fine but don’t disappoint people with omissions.

The new location of the Hairy Barista is my go to place in town for everything good….. There is nothing these guys can do wrong in my eyes…. They serve great coffee, chai ( a definite favourite of mine)amongst many other interesting things inc Kombucha and Kefir drinks… I love their food offerings wether it be a simple filled croissant to their always hearty soups or specials. I will continue to support them as often as I can afford. They do things with the most amount of integrity and genuine passion and that means a lot in my world. You only have to look at how busy they are day to day to know they have hit a sweet spot 🙏🙏

Dropped in for a quick lunch. Expensive for what it is. For example a small piece of frittata and a very small salad for nine ounces odd. Went home and had toast to supplement. Disappointing as had heard good things.
