Jude's Ferry - Forest Heath

We stopped by for Sunday lunch, restaurant about 1/4 fullThe carvery was average at best the chefs were attentive but the rest of the staff were just stood about looking bored, took ages to clear plates we were not even asked if we wanted dessert

Great location but the food is the worst i have had my friends said it was no good but I had to find out for me self it is such a shame just very bad Managment could be a gold mine if it was run correctly

Paid a visit one balmy evening. Chose this pub by the river whilst on a motorbike ride with my husband. We sat outside which was very pleasant. I ordered the 'tapas ' sliders, prawns in garlic butter. Plenty of it but overcooked. Shame. The calamari was good and so was the Greek salad. My husband had the burger and there was more than enough chips with it which he enjoyed. The staff could not do enough for you. Two young men more than willing to serve. The place tho was spartan. Just us and two other small groups. We would pay another visit maybe. Not overly disappointed.

This looked a very pleasant place to have Sunday lunch unfortunately it went from bad to worse the starters soup only luke warm sent back but although appeared to be steaming it went cool quickly the garlic mushrooms could have been used for bullets could not get a fork into them the prawn cocktails very small prawns plus lettuce no sauce. We lined up for the carvery only to find all the veg had run out we were asked if we would like to come back when they'd stocked up. On our return we found not all the original veg was available only peas, carrots and green beans. It was a lovely day with lots of people in the garden eating but serving the bagettes alongside the roast meals held things up considerably. We shall not return or recommend.

3 of us went today with the intention of having the Sunday Roast. However, upon seeingt chunks of meat which looked as if they'd dried out under the warming lamps and carrots and green beans floating around in (presumably) hot water we decided to give it a miss and go for items off the regular menu instead. Unfortunately, the scampi or schnitzel weren't that great either. I suppose the fact that we were the only 3 in there when we arrived with only 2 other people coming in before we left speaks volumes as normally places are packed for Sunday lunch.
