Lovely food, nice pub. Limited on drinks - only bitter was IPA, only rose fizz, no light ale

The food is at 1 star because I didn't have any so do not take that any other way than what I've said. The Bar staff were friendly and efficient in clearing tables. It was a flying visit but was a memorable one and will certainly be back there in the near future.

The Imperial is due a bit of a rave. I don't think you could pretend it's fine dining. It does pizza and pasta and a small selection of other Italian dishes. The service is friendly and accommodating, the pizzas are excellent and the prices are reasonable. If you were going to go to Pizza Express, Zizzi, Bella Italia or the like and want somewhere better this is definitely it. My son and I had a really good evening. We'll be back. Probably quite regularly.

Dropped by for lunch for the second time. Pub has a lot of character and looks like it was built around the 1900s. Many original fittings and suberbly and lovingly restored. Food is served in an annex with about 6 tables. Had a pizza which could have come out of Naples. Chewy with the freshest of ingredients. The Mrs had the duck confit and was as crisp as anything. The chef certainly knows his stuff. Portions were huge and had no space for desserts. Pub has a beer garden at the back and there is free parking. Staff were a cheery lot. I will be back.

The skin was crispy and delicious and the flesh just fell off the bone and the potatoes were crispy and delicious too. Also there was a friendly, lively atmosphere and friendly staff. I can definitely recommend this pub.

I asked for a pint of the cheapest lager I gave the barman £5 he put it in the till and walked off. I asked him where my change was he told me that it was £5. I found out from another customer it wasn't the cheapest. When I challenged the barman he just shrugged his shoulders & walked off.

Food was excellent, accommodated dietary requirements and provided lots of choice. Food came quickly and when it arrived it was delicious. Will be visiting again.

Lovely friendly experience. Lovely sheltered area now built over the garden with heating above each table. We had a group of six for a sit down meal and a few drinks. Really good food and reasonably priced, our only grumble would be the dessert menu that isn't really enticing for a cold April's night sat outside. A few hot desserts would be a lovely addition to the menu.. other than that we can't wait to visit again soon.

The food is great, so we had to take advantage of the "eat out, to help out" The only reason its not a 5 star was the lack of atmosphere and this is purely down to lack of people.

Dirty inside and out. Chef on holiday so no food. Barmaid very rude to customers. She called the police on a young family as the parents had brought some chips for there little boy. We felt so sorry them certainly wouldnt reccomend it to anyone. The place needs a good clean and the barmaid was left on her own with no help so I think that's why she was so obnoxious to customers. Theres a much nicer pub up the road who serve good food and are friendly

What a gem! Found refuge whilst our kids went to their prom. As we didn't know the area, we just went to the nearest pub. So glad we did. Absolutely delicious food and lovely, friendly staff. The apple doughnuts were exquisite! I would return every week but sadly we live in Ashford, so it's just too far to come. On the other hand.....those apple doughnuts.....

Fantastic pub in a small village in the very green region of Kent. Friendly and helpful staff. Run by an Italian, you can enjoy dishes from both traditions. Good beers. Nearby is Hever Castle, which was the residence of Anne Boleyn, wife of Henry VIII. Super recommended for an alternative itinerary.

Not eaten here before. I’d driven past it for years thinking It was simply a pub, Then I read on TA that this place had a great Italian menu. Well they’re right! I am not entirely on board with the decor. We were a table of 4 food lovers. We were seated to the side of the bar in a tiny dining area. But when the food arrived we didn’t care. It was delicious! The seafood pasta, carbonara and cod loin were all fresh, wholesome and consumed with pleasure. Two of us had the Arancini to start. My only criticism was that these were very filling, perhaps a bar snack size so we were quite full already before the main course arrived! Our waitress, a Sicilian herself, provided good food recommendations. The service was attentive without being distracting - water was replaced on the table without asking - for me a sign of care and genuine hospitality, Well Done The Imperial. We do have two vegans in the family who weren’t with us the night we visited the Imperial. I am not certain there is sufficient choice on the current menu to return with our full family but for the four non vegans in the family this is a great choice. In balance, a vegan friend has since told me that the Imperial will go out of their way to cater for them when they visit with friends. So no need to avoid but perhaps not a first choice.

I have been to The Imperial Pub many times and have always had a lovely experience, they serve decent beers, lagers and ales and the Italian food the serve is delicious, the staff are always very attentive and the place is lovely and clean, I can highly recommend one of the specials pizzas they serve called 'Tom's Special' I believe its named after one of the OAP's who frequent the pub, definitely worth a try. I will be returning, Thankyou once again.

First to arrive for an early pre-concert meal, so lacked atmosphere until other diners arrived. Didn't look open so needs work on lighting, but the food is outstanding. The Chef/patron took our order and then cooked it to our exact requirements, quite happy to substitute items in the Carbonara--mushrooms and courgette for Pancetta-, and gluten-free pasta for my wife. Substantial portions with surprisingly generous amounts of prawns and monkfish in the linguine. Just needs a little tweak with the presentation and the decor.as the food is very good indeed.
