About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
"Judges restaurant and cocktail bar, formerly known as The Sun, is situated in the beautiful village of Northaw on the village green. This landmark Grade II listed building has, over many long months, been lovingly restored to its rightful glory. With a modern eclectic European and British menu, Carlos believes in sourcing local produce from artisan suppliers, where the provenance and quality of the foods are fully traceable. Whether you’re enjoying a glass of something sparkling under one of our chandeliers or having a scrumptious afternoon tea by the log fire, our bar and restaurant mix period features with modern day elegance, creating a memorable dining experience. Our cocktail bar and lounge areas are the perfect space for just popping by for an espresso martini or a light bite. Perfect for a relaxed evening drink with friends and informal eating from our brasserie style menu.
We look forward to welcoming you to CARLOS@JUDGES

    Warm welcome upon entry. Good atmosphere, good menu. We chose the Sunday roast and it didn’t disappoint. Good sized portion, meat tender and plenty of vegetables. Service very friendly but you could see they needed more staff as it was busy, so we had to wait slightly longer which was understandable. The was our second visit and we hope to come back again soon.

    Keeping it short, which seemed the restaurants theme. Manager shouting and swearing at staff, in italian and Spanish made us feel very uncomfortable, how staff didn't react is beyond me. He was not much better towards us. We were rushed throughout the meal, it was obvious that they wanted us out as they needed the table. Bill brought to us without asking. We were only 2 hours into 3 hour slot. Real shame, should have been a lovely Sunday afternoon.
