What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Hudson House offers a trendy atmosphere with a vibrant beer garden and a good selection of cocktails and burgers. While many patrons enjoy the friendly service and lively environment, some reviews highlight significant issues with food delivery times and menu availability, leading to disappointing experiences for certain diners.
"Went here before the cinema for food and drinks, we had a chicken share platter it was very tasty and good value for money, we also had a couple of cocktails which were on a 2-4-1 deal. The atmosphere was very chilled and the staff were very friendly."
Tammy Jones
"Big selection of burgers and decent selection of beers. Was pretty empty when we arrived so had our pick of seats. Took one of the booths with the tvs and they kindly changed it to the rugby. Bonus! Food was tasty and came pretty quick with server checking in if all OK. All in all can't fault it and definitely worth a trip especially since they do buckets of chicken wings."
Wiebo Grobler
"Shocking place won't come here again. We came here for food, 4 adults, 3 kids ordered food, and mine came out 20 mins before the next meal. We then waited at least 45 mins after mine before the last meal came out. Spoke to the manager and got told if you wanted it the same time you should have asked??? We cook things fresh. 3 kids were waiting at least 30 minutes after mine they were hungry and upset. The manager should be a manager no wonder it was almost empty when we walked in."
