Imperial Hotel PADDINGTON reviews
5 Star Review by N/A
Loved the historic feel of the Imperial. Its in a great location right in Paddington, the place has been beautifully renovated, the people are great, the service is great, the beer was great. Guess what, it was all great. Well worth a visit.
5 Star Review by Will
Love this pub, one of my favourites! The staff are friendly and fantastic, the managers are super helpful and always help out with any problems. Great rustic, Aussie pub feel, none like it in the area. Also the new kitchen menu is a great addition.
5 Star Review by Michelle Currey
Great little pub near the Chauval Cinema and Town Hall to grab a bite to eat either before or after a show or movie. The food is great. We had the pulled pork nachos which was delicious. Definitely returning to have a Sunday roast.

Food only ok.. But have to say the relatively recent interiors revamp is looking terribly tired and dirty! We were there for lunch, and the floors are worn and dusty. The table tops are sticky, so we moved to another table, after it was wiped down, and another sticky table. Every flat surface is covered in dust. All seating run down. Sorry really wanted to like it.

We hosted our Christmas party/lunch at the Imperial. The space had character and comfortably fit our group of 100 cyber specialists (the bank we work for still required some level of social distancing). We had the upstairs function room to ourselves, with plenty of seating, our own bar and loads of natural light. We had organised an amazing race before the event and were able to show the shots on the pubs big function area screen, which was a bonus. The food was great, the service friendly and the pub catered for people with dietary restrictions (vegetarian, gluten-free and lactose intolerant). It was our first Christmas party as a team post Covid. Thanks Amee and the team for being such superb hosts. Well be back.

1 Star Review by Elizabeth Crundall
Said open for dinner. We buy a drink, sit at a sticky too high table and then told kitchen closed and hotel closing right now! This hotel has SO much unrealised potential. Its drab, dirty, food is only just. Lack lustre and Un Paddington in every way. Sadly this is evidenced by the fact it has very little patronage. Wish the owners had some pride about this old pub. PS - Other pubs in Paddo were pumping! Says it all.
