noisy with many unsupervised small children crying etc. Food cold, beef rubbery & cauliflower cheese tasted cheeseless! Overall food was pretty tasteless, but portions good

Good service and nice and warm in the pub. The carvery was ok, meat was really nice with a good variety, all the veg and yorkshire pudding was undercooked.

Good service was disappointed with the lack of choice on the menu which I guess was due to covid restrictions carvery or carvery with one vegetarian and one member of the family not a carvery fan would’ve been good if their website had been updated to show reduced menu The carvery was average at best value for money but average quality had worse had a lot better for the money asked for a high chair that wasn’t there but ok as little one happy in buggy

It’s great to be back at The Empress. The staff are always friendly and are servicing the tables well with the current covid restrictions. Had a great burger and the rest of the table enjoyed their food too. Ant’s quiz is also a highlight.
