Imperial Arms

The staff were delightfully helpful, made room for us in the Bistro with a last minute booking. I see why they describe their Sunday roast as award winning, crispy potatoes, huge Yorkshire pudding, beautiful pink, thick sirloin beef and lovely gravey. We made the mistake of filling up on the artisan bread to start with (again, lovely). Would definitely recommend for a Sunday lunch if you are in the area. We were so full there was no room for desert sadly, will try next time!

I visited here today (Tuesday) with my husband and 11 month old baby. Wow. The moment I entered at 12.01pm (just as they opened), I was greeted with a warm welcome and encouraged to bring in my family, without a booking. The staff were wonderful, the other guests were great fun and played with our baby. The food was amazing -I had scampi which was made on-site and my husband had the Philly cheesesteak with gravy. We will certainly come again as I hear their Sunday roasts are outstanding!

Beautiful old pub with lovely food! We sat in the external courtyard surrounded with flowers... And a cute, nosy boxer watching from his garden up above! 😂 Sydney was our wonderful, friendly and vivacious bar/waitress. The perfect blend of attentiveness, information and patience she ran up and down the stairs to the kitchen to check ingredients and availability for our friend and was graciousness itself- deserving of 5 stars already! Our party had-Thai chicken curry (friend had allergies this was g/f & milk free) Old Hill steak burger-"oh wow this is good! I think this is one of the best burgers I've had in a long time!" and the Korean Chicken burger-looks bizarre on arrival but "oh yum! So tasty! Oh the sweet crispy onion topping.... Mmm! I would definitely a) have this again b) return here especially for this!" It was just the right degree of 'a bit different' and with the v tasty variety of flavours and textures ie the Asian slaw. All plates completely cleared-not a regular occurrence! Desert was a sticky toffee pudding: light and not too sweet- our friend had never had it before (due to allergies but it was g/f and Milk free) declared "This is the best desert I've had in a loooong time!" (ice cream was separate due to milk allergy as sharing desert-bit full! Lol) Everyone in, and serving was so helpful & friendly- and v welcoming. Pub at weekends also has a Bistro also open: giving 3 dining options. Limited Parking on a slope. A mobile got left- staff were fantastic, contacting us by email to let us know. A new favourite destination for us! Massive thank you to the Imperial arms team-from front of house to chef... a winning combination!

Popped in for lunch on Saturday as we’re new to the area - easily some of the best pub food I’ve ever had and reasonably priced. The fish and chips were delicious and there were lots of varied vegetarian options for my partner. Very friendly staff and a really cosy traditional pub feel. Will definitely visit regularly!

I have many food intolerances and the knowledgeable staff put my mind at ease, that I could safely eat here. Hard to find a place that I can eat a roast dinner, with gluten free Yorkshire & gravy 👌 we were delighted with our hearty, fresh, tasty roast dinner, friendly staff, brilliant service & great range of drinks 😊

Update........ Tryed the fish Friday menu tonight and was delicious, plus you can still order from the bistro menu so plenty of choices including whole lobster and surf and turf. There's a pre book Christmas menu available for the 1st-23rd of December which looks excellent value for money, small deposit required. Great building with plenty of history. Booked bistro for a Sunday roast dinner. Foods good, does get very busy especially for Sunday lunches. Nice bistro and courtyard. Staff amazing! Professional, polite and attentive. Will definitely revisit and try the fish menu available on Friday's. Very limited parking.
