Celebrate Christmas
We love the festive season at Imperial Hotel. Whether you're joining us for one of our fabulously festive Party Nights, or we're welcoming you for a fantastically festive lunch or dinner with friends, colleagues or family, we want you to have a wonderful time this Christmas. And everyone knows how much our chefs love making Christmas Pudding, a time-honoured tradition that's been handed down, chef to chef from generation to generation, and now also available as a vegan or gluten free option!

Book to eat in Café Cru Restaurant or The Terrace (weather permitting) for lunch or dinner and enjoy the festive season in style, in a warm and welcoming atmosphere with the very best customer service. Our lovely restaurants are just the place to celebrate the season. We can't wait to feel festive with you.
