With its French bistro-style decor and globetrotting menu - ranging from Moroccan tagine and Thai curry to Mexican fajitas - Hudson's aspires to the cosmopolitan. Bare brick walls, eccentric prints, ceiling fans and a profusion of green paint help set it apart from the average local gastropub, while in summer a stylish outdoor eating area fills with west Londoners looking as sophisticated as possible while enjoying what Hudson's really does best: good, old-fashioned comfort food. Sunday roasts, served inside giant Yorkshire puddings with hearty root vegetables and sage and onion stuffing, are unbeatable, especially when followed with lip-smacking home-made desserts such as chocolate brownies and ice-cream or sticky toffee pudding.

Worst restaurant in London. Waiters don't seem to understand the concept of serving a table from start to finish. At all times there were 4 - 6 waiters huddled around the bar with their backs to the restaurant having a giggle at something.

I had to get up and walk over to them three times to ask for something or to order.

Once our maincourse was taken away we waited 15 mins to receive a dessert menu. When I got up and asked for one because they clearly had forgotten we existed they seemed surprised and said 'we thought you were finished' - might help if you asked first actually? QUITE A STRANGE THING TO JUST ASSUME TOO?

We then waited 15 minutes for a dessert that never came. Turns out they forgot once they actually bothered to take the order.

Portions sizes were tiny too. I had chicken wings which came with a ramacan of chili sauce - 0.5cm full. had to ask for more. All around it was the worst dining experience I've have in a long time AND by far and away THE WORST service I have EVER had to endure. perhaps if each waiter was assigned their own area in the restaurant and had to focus on only say 5 - 6 tables they may not all end up wandering around with a totally vacant look in their eyes while desperate customers sit on the edge of their seats wondering if their food will ever arrive.

At least they didn't charge us for the dessert that did finally show up, a chocolate and fudge tart. Good job too because the pastry was totally under cooked. Amateurs.

What used to be a family favourite has really taken a turn for the worse since i last ate there in 2009. Plenty of choice on the menu, but from my experience last night it's clear the kitchen can't deal with the plethora of options.

A starter of nachos was nothing more than a pack of blue dorritos (honestly) with jalepenos out of a jar, a smear of avocado and some cheese, somewhere. Worth the 30+ minute wait it was not! The wait for the mains was just as long and the food poor. Minute steaks for the main were wildly undercooked vs the medium requested and a thai stir fry manages to be both charred on the outside raw in the middle. Scampi and chips looked like it had come straight out of the freezer.

Service was poor and my complaints met with indifference. I shall not be going back.

AWFUL! Avoid this place like the plague! Awful
Service awful food. We waited 2 hours for our main meal which came out cold and dry! When we complained the manager threated to call the police! It's only a matter of one until this place goes under. Save your money it makes McDonald's look like a Michelin star place. Disgusting customer service
