Amendment: 30/12/23. After my earlier experience (below), the landlord of the Empress reached out. They asked whether I would like to return and try the pizza again at another time and hopefully they can meet my expectations, as they agreed that the pizza in the first instance didn't meet their own. I was very pleased to do so, as this is a lovely pub! My friend and I had the Empress Bad Boy & the Sausage & Onion pizza today. We were very impressed. Really as nice as every other review says, and with this quality, very well priced! It's great this pub has a team that cares. Image below amended to reflect just the pizza from this visit. 23/12/23: 3/5 stars. Disappointing! This place is a great pub, so love the drinks there but decided to try the pizza the other day and I was massively underwhelmed. I ordered the mushroom pizza, with vegan cheese (appreciate the option being there!), and a picture is below. There was barely any mushroom on the pizza, and I thought the pizza was just very lacking in flavour. Not much in the way of herbs or seasoning, even though I think the menu said it had a bunch of stuff going on. For all the reviews, I was expecting a bit more? The garlic bread was good, but it's a low bar as I don't think that is too difficult to get right!
Really nasty experience at the empress last night, a group of men were abusive to other customers and the male staff behind the bar did nothing. One man was super drunk and became aggressive, he used homophobic slurs to a guy in the toilets and physically assaulted a girl. We reported the man to three separate staff members and they did nothing, even served the man another pint. He continued to threaten my friend and we had to leave. I always loved the empress but genuinely was unsafe there last night. The guy working behind the bar with dark hair and a beard argued with me when I reported the abuse for a second time and told me he knows what's best to do and then let the man stay and drink. Unsafe for women and queer people
Super busy crowded pub. 100% definitely need to do the booking beforehand. They do really good pizzas and pizzas only. Love the atmosphere and decorations. Had so much fun with my friends there celebrating Christmas x
It's Christmas again! Love this pub and the effort they put in. They also have a good range of beers and spirits. If you've never been, you should definitely go especially at Christmas.
What a wonderful place. I loved my staying here. The decorations were maybe a bit too much but I liked it. The atmosphere is great, friendly staff that provides good services. The prices are fair for what you get. As a pizza lover I must say that I love your pizza! Great taste and I could feel good quality ingredients that were used. Overall we had a nice experience here and we're thinking to return. Thank you!
