Drinks selection

At the bar, things are a little more ‘best of British’. Kent’s very own Shepherd Neame cask ales join excellent wines and all the usual aperitifs, soft drinks and coffees, which can be enjoyed in the traditional bar area or the courtyard garden in summer.

What a surprise!

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!

Birthday celebrations

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.

Absolutely perfect!

Alessandro and his team created a fantastic buffet for my father-in-law's wake and nothing appeared to be any trouble at all. The food was absolutely delicious and plenty of it too. If you are looking to organise a function on Southborough The Imperial is highly recommended!
