Judson's Bar in East Riding of Yorkshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Very good establishment in the town centre. Although the pub was busy with racegoers from Ladies Day at York Races, our group had excellent reviews fo our meal which was well cooked and fairly priced.

Absolutely amazing food and service! We had just got engaged and this was our first meal to celebrate and we couldn’t have been happier! Thank you so much for making it so wonderful.

Randomly stopped in for food. We did go early as hadn’t eaten all day (5pm) so it’s wasn’t busy. The staff were friendly and seated us promptly. We were the only people eating at the beginning but the food did take a bit of time to come (not horrendously long) but it was delicious! We had the flat iron steak and the chicken….. I couldn’t recommend either more. It did get busier in the bar area towards the end of our stay and did get a bit noisier. Looks like a popular place for locals to have a drink. There are high tables in the window which are very overlooked if people are standing outside drinking/having a smoke.

Had to track down staff in order to be seated. Food OK, very noisy, full of drunks. Men using disable toilet, even though the mens toilet is right beside it. Not closing the door, urinating in full view of diners. Not pleasant

Food good. However having to wait almost 2 hours for food is appalling. Told two large parties caused our delay… is this our fault?? Lost our drink order.. drinks never arrived.. Very disappointed. Would not recommend unless you have plenty of time to spare!

Came with a customer and a colleague excellent food and drinks with good friendly service. I had the pork belly that was amazing

I celebrated my 80th birthday with my extended family at a wonderful lunch last Saturday. Vicky was amazing in how she looked after us all. Nothing was too much trouble and she thought of every little detail to ensure that the day was perfect in every way. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was professional, polite and friendly. My grateful thanks to Vicky and her team.

Lovely meal tonight of Smoked Chicken pasta and Flat Iron steak, absolutely superb, cannot wait to return

This was my first visit to Judson’s and I was most impressed. The service was worth particular note and the pasta dish I ordered superb. Fred was a significant highlight to our delightful evening and served us graciously and adapted well to our quirky sense of humour. I know that the lovely gentleman I accompanied is a regular at Judson’s and I hope I will be returning in the not too distant future.

Food good. Service was terrible. We had to ask for our order to be taken & following that we had to wave frantically for someone to take drinks orders. Once plates were taken away we were not asked if we wanted deserts & we would have had them. There were plenty of staff, they just all congragated near the bar area. As customers no longer go up to the bar, staff need to remember that & really be on it.Other customers experienced the same. At the end of the night staff did not inform customers that they were closing allowing last orders.When we paid our bill it was wrong & they also put the wrong amount on the card machine.Overall an exhausting unpleasant experience.

We had our wedding meal at Judsons and everyone was very satisfied with their food, it was delicious! The staff served 30 guests hot food and managed to do that efficiently... so we all ate at the same time. Many thanks to the staff .

Judson's has been a regular for lunch when we visit Pocklington. Last two times rather disappointing though. On the last visit the waiter when asked what wines they had was told "oh the usual" which was not helpful. When a different waiter brought the meal he managed to slide some chips off the plate onto the table and the floor but there was no apology and no replacement chips ... his comment was "not my best effort". So service needs reviewing.As to the menu, there is more emphasis on burgers now than there used to be. As we dont eat meat there is a more limited choice for us. Anyway, there are many other places in Pocklington for us to try next time.

Visited on a busy Saturday lunch, we had booked a table and where quickly seated, the waitress was attentive and service was good. Food arrived I had the risotto which was delicious, My partner had the fish and. Chips which he said was also delicious, we didn’t have room for a pudding, all in all I very pleasant experience. My only gripe would be £9 for a glass of wine, which I feel was over priced, yes I know we pay more for wine out dining, but this is a pub, not a high class restaurant. Apart from that a good meal was had

We have been here on a number of occasions but unfortunately a little disappointed on this occasion.The setting is lovey & food very good.We had pre booked.It took a very long to take drink & food orders? Appreciate if it was busy but it wasn’t...The service had a lot to be desired & I would recommend a review of the front of house operation.A real shame as it was not like this on previous occasions. Disappointing....

Regular meeting with an old school friend .We meet up about once every six weeks and try different venues. Our visit to Judsons was excellent . With good service and food . Drinks choice also good .Nice lunch is friendly surroundings Shall visit again soon

We called in to Judsons for the very first time today, and we’re immediately impressed.It was a miserable wet day, and as we had our two dogs with us we managed to get near the fire so we could all dry off!The bar is superbly laid out , extremely spacious, also with lots of interesting things to look at!As it was lunchtime we decided on something light, so we went for sandwiches, but they weren’t any old sandwich, they were simply divine! I had the smoked chicken, bacon and brie, my wife had the beef and onion. Both came with a lovely mixed salad and yummy French fries!Who I imagine to be the owners came across to check on us, and make a fuss of our doggies! Everyone who dealt with us were charming and friendly, and I just wish more restaurants and bars would appreciate their customers as well as they do at Judsons.Without a doubt we will return ( no dogs!) and enjoy dinner one evening very soon.

Arrived at 2.15 and even though they finish serving at 2.30 they accommodated us. The service from our waitress Safia was very good and attentive, The food was very good and great value for money. 2 of us had lime and soda and were only charged 25p for each, which was very fair. I would recommend this restaurant.

14 of us booked in for evening dinner and we were showed to a private room upstairs which was lovely but a tad cold. We had pre-ordered our choices in advance. One of the party was poorly so couldn’t attend hence I went downstairs to mention it. The rude owner huffed and puffed and said it was already being cooked. I asked for desert menu at the same time and he huffed and puffed (nearly blew his restaurant down!!) and said he was very limited on deserts. We had booked a month in advance and there was no asking if we wanted further drinks until the end of the meal. We asked if we could have a desert with a candle in as it was a special birthday for a young lady. That never arrived. We asked if the meal for the non existing customer could be returned and have a refund but the bill came with the meal price on it. It wasn’t even sniffed at let alone eaten by the non existing customer who was poorly. Shoddy service indeed. Food was lovely and no complaints there but seriously...what turned out to be looking forward to spending time with my friend for her 30th was spoilt by the rude owner. I would not return. Please be aware of this if you book in a large party. Upstairs and forgotten!!

The owner of this establishment was very rude to us when we 'dared' question the food quality - unfortunately word of mouth is very powerful, Id recommend avoiding this place as it's gone very much down hill.

There weren't too many options for dinner out in Pocklington on 2nd January but Judson's was open and serving it's great range of burgers and pasta. We were not disappointed by the food or the selection of beers and gins. Good food and drinks at a very good price and we were glad in the end that we didn't have to choose anyone else, we will definitely choose Judson's again. Lovely staff too!

The owner of this overpriced establishment has to be the ruddest qnd most arrogant individual I have ever encountered, unfortunately Mr Ward word of mouth and recommendations are very powerful.

We visited here Mid December and the Food was fantastic! We opted for burgers and they were so filling and full of flavour. The service was attentive without being intrusive! Will definitely be returning.

Large portions, fish was good but chips were more like recycled roast potatoes. Beef was tough and chewy. My aunt who we went to visit commented that it was the worst meal she had had in the time she has lived in Pocklington.

Fantastic meal here recently with friends. Kicking atmosphere. Excellent service. Scallops and sea bass were really beautifully cooked and presented.

Myself and a couple of colleagues shared a few drinks on a Sunday afternoon. We feared the place will be empty at 4pm on a Sunday and we’ll be noisiest clients, but no, it was a lovely, joyous atmosphere which made us stay longer than initially planned. The bartender was very nice and chatty and we sampled a few of the cocktails on the menu, all to be repeated soon!

Great food and drink and friendly staff. Also very dog friendly, so had the pleasure of sitting for a few hours with Milo, my golden lab, watching the world go by from a window table. Few other dogs in as well and water and treats available for them as well. Lots of different areas to sit in and the dog lovers and owners are in one area, so if you are not one of those, panic not! A great buzzy modern feel to the place, and a good range of food and drinks.

We were staying at the KP resort for 3 nights and decided to eat out on the Saturday night. We were recommended this place and we were not disappointed. Very buzzing, noisy lively restaurant/ wine bar. 6 of us shared 3 starters, we had the Cajun chicken goujons, which were very tasty. No issues with the other starters. For mains I had the seafood pasta, very tasty but could have done with more variety of fish. Other meals were cottage pie, chicken off the special and various other dishes, again all enjoyable. Nice wine list and good service from the young team. Really enjoyable night had by all. Would visit again when are in the area.

Not one but two veggie burgers and either can be made vegan, plus other meal options. Downstairs gets very noisy, but there is a room upstairs for group bookings which was great for us as a number of our party struggle to hear with a lot of background noise.

2 cokes £6.80 more ice than coke a way bit too steep also sitting outside a bit too close to roadside smells of car fumes

The food had great taste but to be expected at the top end of the scale for burgers

We always make a point of having one evening meal in this well established and usually very busy town centre bar and restaurant - and we always book in advance to make sure of a table (though this time we could have got away with it).

Visited with my partner for lunch and the place was very nice with a relaxed atmosphere. The staff were friendly on arrival. However we waited a long time for our order to be taken to the point where my partner went to the bar to order. The food took a very long time to arrive. When the food arrived we had to ask the waitress for cutlery, which after over 5 minutes of waiting and our food getting cold, my partner had to go up to the bar and get himself. We did get an apology from one of the Male members of staff (possibly the owner). Shame as the food itself was very nice! The restaurant wasn't even particularly busy. I think the waiting staff are a just little inexperienced.

Visited with my cousin and boyfriend on a Saturday night. Staff were friendly and sat us at our booked table. Food came quickly and was very tasty with lots of flavour and good portion sizes - no complaints there!!

Have been here several times but have not been moved to write a review one way or another. This time however I have noticed a decline. First disappointment was the choice/value of the wine. Not good. Cheapest white wine was, I think £21.50 and was a

Had a lovely meal at the Judson. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Portion sizes huge and dog friendly. Highly recommend it.

The quality of the food is ok, we both had Sunday lunch - large portions are £14 which is a bit pricy when somewhere like The Gait Inn charges £7.50.

Hi, We had a lovely meal on March 1st to celebrate a birthday. The waitresses were excellent, nothing was too much trouble. Great burgers! Everyone was very happy with their food. Keep it up!

Just had meal to celebrate my grandsons 6th birthday and mothers day I had steak sandwich chips and salad very nice all meals looked very nice as we had 11 in our party we had room upstairs to ourselves I had 2 pints golden best lovely prices about average and good service

Very poor service at lunchtime. Not enough staff on and they were lack lustre!! Food good when it eventually arrived!!!

Lunchtime shortly after it opening a young lad handed us a meal and said to chose a table so we did, after a short later we went to the bar to order drinks and food to be told we couldn’t order at that time because they had too many orders and what appeared to be only 3 occupied tables and that he would come over and take our order in 15 mins. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing but went back to the table. After actually ordering the food, the food was delicious and the service from another gentleman who seemed more superior the service was very good. Just a shame it wasn’t at the start when we walked in, first time for visiting

Visited with family at lunch, wasn't full and we decided to have lunch, it took over 45 mins to come and had to chase the order up. The food was pretty average and I feel its abit over priced for what you get. Nice atmosphere in bar and staff were very friendly. It's starting to look unloved in places and could do with abit of tlc.

The food was good, the company great and the staff were most attentive for our Christmas lunch. The meal was sensibly priced but ouch the wine was expensive.

We use Judsons a lot, not only for drinks but also for bar meals and amazing cappuccino too.

We have been here 7 times in the last 12 months, usually with a party of 4 or more, having lunch or dinner, drinks etc. so I consider us the type of customers you'd want to encourage. We have always been happy with the food and service but we visited for lunch just before Christmas with my son and daughter in law and 5 year old grandson and everything was fine except my flat iron steak (the most expensive lunch choice) was full of gristle and mostly inedible. I left most of it but everyone else was happy with their food so I did not want to spoil the occasion by sending it back.

We have had meal at Judson’s few times on different occasions. It used to serve nice meal more or less, service used to be better. Last time we have visited with my daughters and sister in law, we were really disappointed with the service. A gentleman/bar tender was not friendly at all and food was not great especially for the price they charge. We won’t be rushing to go back there again.

Had dinner here with friends. Service was friendly but slow but not a problem for us as we weren’t in a hurry. Pate and scallops starters were great - burgers very good but the ox cheek main was a bit iffy. The horse radish mash was to die for and the veg was lovely but the meat itself had a strange taste - the texture was great - just tasted like it was warmed up. But, we had a great night and they have a good range of drinks. Will definitely go back as we really enjoyed ourselves and the atmosphere was fantastic.

Just had lunch with my mum and sisters excellent food , lovely friendly attentive staff would highly recommend it 4 of us had lunch and drinks for £51 excellent value not sure what the other reviews are complaining about ???? Couldn’t fault it lovely atmosphere.

Good place for a meal. Food usually good but overpriced. Excellent drinks selection but again a bit on the pricy side. Like the layout but some areas looking tired. Staff quite friendly.

Popped in for a cocktail on a Saturday night with a group of friends. I have been to Judsons on many occasion and even held family parties there, however I was rather disappointed this time at the customer service. The bar staff were TBH very rude. Our cocktails took nearly 30 mins to make but no apology or friendly remark just a scowl. I know they are busy on a Saturday night but a bit of friendliness goes a long way.

Attentive staff. Good food. Nice decor. Good choice of beer and wines. Quiet for a Saturday lunch time.

Busy bar restaurant and popular with many. However, it can be a bit mediocre for both food and quality of the beer. Service can be very poor especially when busy and your'e not a 'regular'

We went here when staying overnight in a nearby hotel. Booked the table for 6.30 and it was very busy but service was excellent. Nice atmosphere and the waiting staff were pleasant and efficient. We didn’t have to wait too long for food either and the short wait was well worth it. The onion rings were huge, well worth a try. Would definitely go here again if we visit Pocklington again.

Having previously given 5 stars on 2 occasions, took my brother and his wife

We took our staff here for a meal out. We had a great evening. the food was delicious. Some of us had burgers and some had the pasta dishes. The service was great. It was a fab evening and will definitely be going back for another meal.

Good good, good service and priced just right. We have been back already and I would recommend. Veggie Burger was first class.

Had tea out tonight, “disappointing “ home made cut chips turned out to be oven chips, and to top it off they put lots of salt on them,so hope you like salt because you don’t have a choice, we did complain as I think If they are advertising homemade cut chips then that is what you should receive. As for the salt again i think that should be your choice. Rant over.

Judsons’ bar/restaurant in the town of Pocklington was a most pleasant discovery while travelling in north Yorkshire. We especially the location at one of the corners of the town square and we enjoyed the everchanging scene from outdoor seats. We soon discovered the relaxed convivial ambiance both at the bar and the outdoor area. Some of the larger parties of diners were accommodated in the more private, restaurant areas on the first floor.

We visited Judson’s Bar by chance on a Saturday evening. The bar was busy but when we asked for a table the waiter set one up for us straight away. The food was lovely, hot and generous portions. Friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere.

Whilst staying in the area , we tried a couple of other eating places . My REGRET was not having tried Judson's earlier. We went in for coffee most days and were always made welcome , so decided we would eat there on our last night .The place was buzzing being quite early Friday night , which added to the atmosphere . Service was exemplary , the food was first class. We both had salmon , which came with green veg . It was delicious , cooked to perfection and seasoned just right . My only concern would be the lack of vegetarian options , we are veggies , but do eat fish , otherwise we may have struggled a bit with choice.

Starting out in the morning with the intention of having a pub lunch after a planned walk we ended up in Pocklington and decided to give Judson's a go. After finding a table I had a look around and I can say I was very impressed. Spotlessly clean and nicely decorated.

Second visit to this bar and restaurant. Food was excellent again. The specials never disappoint. Really recommend a visit.

Lovely lunch yesterday, following a pleasant walk through the town. The food was well prepared and a the menu was well thought through. Chicken Caesar salad was very good.

Whenever any of my family come up to visit us, we always bring them to Judson’s for a meal!

We ate here tonight and it was brilliant, dog friendly with amazing food and the staff were very helpful and friendly 10/10

Myself and 5 friends went here for food before going to pocklington arts center. We had a table booked for 6.30 we were given menu's and we ordered drinks and we sat there waiting for our drinks... Still waiting... Half an hour later after going to ask where our drinks were they came. We ordered food we finally ate an hour after we arrived. There seemed to be plenty of staff so don't know why they took so long. But the food was fantastic 2 of us had the minute steak with lovely home made chips. 2 had the salmon with new potatoes and 2 had fish and chips and we couldn't fault the food at all. So hard off to the chefs. I'd recommend it but give yourself time.

Popped in for lunch ... good atmosphere and a good range of choices for both food & drink. Enjoyed a couple of tasty mocktails and the ciabatta sandwiches with perfect fries!

Had a great meal yesterday, food came fast and was lovely. The staff really made us feel welcome and went the extra mile! Have been Before and never been disappointed.

Whilst visiting our friends who live in the local area we popped into Judsons for a drink and whilst there decided to have our dinner too. Although the bar was busy the staff were on hand to see to our needs and we were soon seated in the restaurant. Katy, the manager on shift saw to our order personally and did a great job advising us on a wine to accompany our meal. The waitresses on shift were always on hand if we had needed anything further but we had everything that we could have wanted. The food was excellent and from the other plates that were coming out of the kitchen we could see that all of the menu looked delicious! The food and wines were very reasonably priced and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening and would not hesitate to come back.

It was our anniversary on Sunday,which as most people will know is difficult because most restaurants close on Sunday evenings.We rang Judsons to find out what time they served food on a Sunday ( 5 - 7 ) so we arrived at the restaurant at 5.20.We seated ourselves in the window and chose a bottle of wine from the wine list on the table ( Sauvignon Blanc £23.50 ).The restaurant was averagely busy but i noticed there were no food menus on the tables.A Waitress arrived and asked if we were eating,she did not seem very interested in serving us and said she would bring us some cutlery.I ordered our wine ( £23.50 ) from the waitress and there it stopped.We sat waiting for our wine and for a menu,there were staff behind the bar and i saw the waitress serving some other people but,we sat there and sat there.We left without drinking or eating.They do not deserve our custom.We walked around the corner to the Indian restaurant,had a great meal and good wine.

I came here with my partner as we were staying nearby, it was as a very friendly place with a great atmosphere and good food! Would definitely come back again thank you

Judson’s has really improved since we last ate there. We had a 3 course meal and were all impressed with the quality of the food. It’s pricey for Pocklington - the bill was just over £120 with just 2 glasses of wine, 2 glasses of prosecco and one beer - but we thoroughly enjoyed it.

This was my best visit to Judson's yet. Comfortable seating, unhurried service from very pleasant Staff, and good choice of lunchtime menus. I don't usually go for Burgers, but their Special with a very well seasoned Salad and Chips was spot-on. Very competitive prices.

Booked a table here last week with my family. The staff were excellent, what a great place!

Nice little bar with some nice chairs and semi rustic appearence. Polite staff. On the downside the Coffee has no body

This pub is always busy it has a kind of Weatherspoons vibe - full of people who’ve spent the whole day in there drinking themselves under the table Always feels a bit grubby and sticky Not my favourite place

Have visited the restaurant several times since moving to the area last year. To quality food. Never had a bad medal. Fish is excellent as are the burgers. Friendly service. Can be a bit noisy in the evening.

A really great night out with friends.

Superb Sunday lunch all cooked to perfection and complimented with an excellent red wine which you will be well advised on if unsure what to choose.

I have been here a few times in the last few months and it is consistently good.

We've recently been here twice, once for drinks only and once for a meal.

Fabulous seafood pasta with mussels and scallops in lobster bisque sauce. My wife had the Caesar salad with a difference using a sliced Cajun spiced chicken breast , wonderful . Bit of confusion re wines by the glass. The only negative was had to get through a busy bar of drinkers to ask about a table . Seated promptly after .

Had a fantastic meal here. Service was very good and we were well looked after.

We had lunch today at Judson's. When we arrived at just after noon, we were the only people there and were seated near the window for a good view of the marketplace. Judsons soon filled though. We were given menus and offered water immediately. There was a good choice on the attractive two menus, one a Christmas fayre. We were all very happy with our choices and the generous portions. Everything was well presented and we would happily return. I cannot remember the name of my dish, but it was chicken strips in a spicy batter, with hand cut chips and delicious salad.

Welcoming and friendly. Food lacked lustre. Fine for week day eating. Salmon starter was confused unsure what side dish was. Pate lacked flavour. Pheasant lots of it but rather tasteless.

Full of happy drinkers but poor food with very strange menu offerings. Too noisy if you are eating in main area but much better upstairs.

We didn’t eat here but I do know that it’s good food here. I popped in with a group of friends and two dogs. The services was good and there was treats for the dogs at the bar.

After a morning shopping in York, called on spec for Sunday lunch, quite busy but we were welcomed warmly. Varied menu but only one choice for us - roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. Three generous slices roast beef with various fresh veg, and stupendous roast potatoes,washed down with a pint of the excellent guzzler beer, all in all a very enjoyable meal with good service and pleasant staff. What more do you want. We will be back.

I have to admit I really enjoy going into Judsons on a Saturday afternoon and enjoying a few drinks. Staff are always friendly. I know people still complain about the sofas being removed and yes, I did like them but life moves on! Really good atmosphere, food has certainly got better lately (although I've never had a bad course) and nice selection of draughts. Not the cheapest in town but the best atmosphere and busiest place.

Called in for a bite to eat before the Shed Seven gig at the Arts Centre.Good selection of beers and food.Didn’t want anything too heavy to eat so opted for the Prawn & Salmon wrap.The wrap was packed full of Prawns & Salmon so much so it was falling out.Also ordered a portion of chips to share with my wife and I have to say they were the best chips I’ve had in a long time.The staff were very friendly and helpful also.Would definitely recommend this place.

In the olden days, many years ago, I and many other Pockites used to populate the Bayernstuble (sic) in our droves, for its perfectly average chicken in a basket, and greasy but deliciously Germanic chips. We sat in the wood paneled booths, on a Sunday afternoon between the hours the pubs were shut. We did this for two reasons: to keep drinking, and to line the stomach in preparation for the evening session. We didn't want to go home to sleep it off, because there was nothing on the t.v., VHS was in its infancy, and quite possibly the family were visiting, so we had to stay away. No offence, mum. Since that establishment closed, it was nothing for a while, until Judsons opened, with a determination to improve the pub fare offer in Pocklington. Not a huge challenge, to be honest. The only serious rival being the Feathers, though that's a shadow of its former self, I'm reliably informed. Since Judsons have been trading, the other pubs have mainly cleaned their acts up (and carpets), so a lunchtime visit should be a memorable occasion? No, not really. The menu offers pretty much the same as any other pub lunch. Fine, as long as it's decent grub. And it is, on the whole. But not as good as all the raving suggests. To the food : Pulled pork in a brioche bun with skinny fries. Ok, pork a little dry, chips underseasoned. Salad uninspiring. Super food salad - a bit bland, too much mayonnaise in the dressing. But full marks for offering a healthy gluten free option. Fish and chips - good sized Fish, fat chips, tartare sauce. Crispy batter, a bit thick, meaning a layer of stodgy between the crispy outer and the fish. Steak sandwich. Ok, Not asked how steak was wanted, fat chips ok. Spicy chicken strips with fries - chicken gougons were large, with a thick batter. Chicken was nicely cooked, but because the batter was so thick, it had a stodgy layer under the crispy outer, which made it very filling, and the 'sriracha' batter should be hot and garlicky, but was neither. More so, it was cooked in the same batter (possibly at the same time) as the fish, so the batter was imparted with a slight fish aftertaste. The salad on the side was fine, but for a strange earthy flavour. I couldn't work out if it was because it wasn't properly washed, or if it had parsley in, but it was lacking a decent dressing. The chicken could have been so much nicer, in a feather light chilli garlic batter, with a lovely buttery sauce to finish it. Service was fine: friendly and efficient, Not too intrusive. Drinks good too. I would go back, but would probably try a salad and ask for oil and vinegar to dress and season it myself. Try Judsons out, its ok, but it's a shame, because the bar in Pocklington has yet to be raised to a decent level. Too much mediocracy and not enough 'must go to' places. Maybe it's Germanic predecessor was onto something!

Called in on a rather wet Sunday afternoon for a warming cuppa and a light bite. Nice welcome and comfortable seating watching the World go by! A very casual way to enjoy the end of the weekend.

As far as we were aware Judson’s has always had a good reputation. Nearly 18 months ago we all had burgers and were quite disappointed that everything had been over-salted. Though the service had been good. So being always ready to give the benefit of doubt we have just been again. Went early on Saturday lunchtime and again the service was pretty good but the food was a let down again. The Cajun chicken wrap was plastered with mayonnaise. The garlic bread that was served as part of the kids meal was appalling. A slice of bog standard white bread, with some garlic butter and then cheddar cheese all toasted, cut into triangles and rammed into a tiny pot so that when you try to get a piece it all came out as one congealed lump. The mash and gravy in the kids meal was far too salty. The one saving grace is that the steak sandwich was ok. It was brilliant but it wasn’t bad. Overall very disappointed, again.

Thanks so much to Robin and his team at Judson’s. Our family party was perfect, as was the food they served. A particular mention goes to Tristan who worked so hard to keep us all happily fed and watered! For a party of up to 20 the upstairs room is ideal and you won’t be disappointed by the food the chef can produce. It’s fantastic to have a place like this on our doorstep.

A recent return after reviewing a couple of years ago. Still retains a youngish, cool atmosphere an is the place to 'see and be seen' in town. Food good and service excellent. Menu is a bit limited at present and it is expensive.

Went for a few drinks and ended up staying for an easy dinner. The service was great, the food came after just a short wait and the Sriracha chicken strips were very nice :-)

Food was lovely and there was plenty of choice on the menu. Portions were generous. Staff were helpful,attentive and polite. Would recommend.

Totally unexpected an absolute hidden gem... The most beautiful, tasty, gorgeous food, different and unique. Not had such tasty food in a long time, it’s a must. The staff are lovely obliging and really friendly, if you love great wine there knowledgable and so smooth. Thank you Diane and Vicky xxx

On a very wet Saturday afternoon, we called in for some warm drinks. The Bar was almost full and the Staff worked very hard to satisfy the demand. Their customer service attitude could not be faulted. Our cup of coffee (very nice) and pot of tea for one (also good) were served with shortbread figures - all for £3.60, so no complaints on value for money.

A really warm welcome was given to us when we had a mid week tea at Judson's. We had our grand daughter with us and although we think she is fabulous it was really nice to find the staff thought she was too.Thank you for being so accommodating and the burgers were scrumptious too

Been here before but not previously reviewed. This time just called in for drinks twice over a weekend. Does everything you would expect - decent array off beers, wines and spirits but there' s something missing......the atmosphere, it just does not have have a great feel to it. The staff are OK but not particularly welcoming and maybe this place would benefit from some soft seating - I know it takes up space but even on a Friday night and Saturday afternoon, I never saw this place really busy. In reality the rating should be 3.1/2
