About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
Blackpool has so many fantastic places to eat, but our delightful Palm Court restaurant is the place for a sumptuous, relaxing dinner. The Victorian dining room is full of grandeur and our restaurant team always go that little bit further to make serving a meal a magical experience.

The views in the restaurant are spectacular, with sweeping vistas across the Fylde coast and the occasional heritage tram tootling by. Diners can soak in the scenery while enjoying fine dining from the table d’hôte menu that changes quarterly, according to the seasons.

We also have a range of daily specials, with our chefs using locally sourced produce whenever possible to ensure that only the best and freshest ingredients are used. The restaurant has flexible seating arrangements, so we can cater for large parties and children are also well catered for, thanks to the family dining options.

For guests not resident at the hotel, please be sure to enter your car registration details on arrival.

Experiences

  • Afternoon Tea at The Imperial

    £20.50 per person

    Multiple dates available
    At The Imperial, you aren’t just offered a pot of tea and a bit of cake; the experience is composed of many delicious elements (both savoury and sweet!) that you’ll love. Not to mention the professional and attentive service from our talented team. You’ll be served a small cup of soup and a hearty sausage roll in addition to sandwiches, scones and cake. The sandwiches are delicate and tasty on soft bread. There’s nothing “usual” about the sweet treats, either! There’s an array of bite-sized delights which have been lovingly prepared to really showcase the talents of our pastry chef and to really tantalise the palette. We have a wide range of enjoyable teas, but if you want a little more drama in your afternoon tea, we can add some fizz!

    Very disappointing. We arrived on time but We were left waiting in a corridor and when we were let in the room we had to stand and wait for our table for ten minutes whilst the waiters showed two other groups of two their table and fully explained the afternoon tea, which wasn’t needed. The waiter was scruffy and his clothes were dirty. Our food took a further 40 minutes to arrive with no explanation or apology. The food was fine.

    The food was poor. I ordered grilled chicken and chips. Chicken was nice but the chips were to few. My partner had Lamb Shoulder which was horrible. It was like a formed meat ball. There was no gravy with it. We definitely wouldn't recommend your restaurant.

    Served very quickly, lovely and warm. Starters delicious, sandwiches not so good, cakes very poor. Background music needed in such a large hotel. We ate in the Derby Room. Hotel is looking very tired though needs a good overall and clean.
