“Recently visited this venue for the first time. What an incredible place. The food is amazing. My partner has never had a salad so beautiful before. Both meals were beautiful, well presented and the quality was superb. We will certainly visit again and after just one visit, from talking to other diners who regularly visit the Imperial Express, we would recommend to others.”

“Visited many times but this was the first time for my husband & first time for breakfast, we were quite dissappointed. The place was cold inside & a cold & windy day too, no music so not much …”

“Seated immediately with no booking on a Sunday. Staff quick to take a drink order and then food when bringing said drinks. Ordered the Benedict frantumato that now comes with some pastrami 👌 Tasted outstanding”

“Stop by for a cheeky full English and a coffee. What a lovely place, the staff were amazing tended to our every need with a smile. They are all fully covid safe. The food was lovely. Perfectly poached eggs (something I'm a stickler for) and the coffee was yummy. Highly recommended.”
