On Friday, June 14 my wife and I visited the Judge’s Lodging for the first time for lunch, and it will definitely not be the last visit as it was probably one of the best lunches we have enjoyed in a long time.

The cellars are a treat in themselves, the whole place was immaculately clean, the staff were smart, friendly, professional and extremely efficient and the food and overall service was superb, five-star rating all round.
