Prawn and avocado salad, well avocado was not ripe Prawns were obviously defrosted under cold water (I have worked in the food industry) so much salad you could of fed at least 3 rabbits for 3 days. I have no problem catering for the public and know about overhead costs etc but please up your game with the food, just because you are on a holiday route and the season is about to start please serve food to be proud of

Had a lovely time at the Empress, the big momma burger and pulled pork brioche was delicious. First time I tried a coffee stout and it was delicious too. The service was a little slow but the staff were very polite and helpful.

Went to a function. The upstairs function room bar was poorly stocked so I had to go downstairs to the bar to buy my round, paid cash, the barmaid turned around and said do you want your change? bearing in mind that the change was a couple of quid and I had to walk downstairs to get the drinks.I've worked in the service industry myself and I would have never have dreamt of asking whether a customer would like their change back fair enough if it was a couple of pence but not £2 and the fact I had to walk up and down the stairs to get the drinks.I've tipped bar staff before, but sorry I wants don't get.

We walked in got served by a young lady, she poured us our drinks, they were lukewarm, atmosphere was very odd, lots of locals, so didn't feel very welcome, people would stop their convocations as we walked pass, and the menu is disorganised. The toilets are very unique, small and a little bit old fashioned.
Absolutely amazing meal probably one of the nicest pub meals I've ever had top marks to the chef and the staff done an excellent
