The Hudson

Great brunch! Good coffee! The customer service was ok, we weren’t offered more drinks or food once we had finished or been served. But the food was delicious

Come for a lunch in Hudson today, try their smoked beef check. Perfect cooked and smoked well, with smooth and creamy mash and basil zucchini. Their craft beers looks interesting, I will come to try next time.

WOAP 2022: I applaud the Hudson for offering a unique challenge with their Spin-the-wheel Wheel of Porktune burger but was hoping for a bit more danger - seeing as the random options are limited to just the advertised spicy, smoky and sour. They give the option to choose so I went for the least-safe option of ‘spicy’ hoping for some Hot Ones level scovilles. Unfortunately the spice here is fairly tame. And the liquid factor is high so you may need extra napkins with this one. I enjoyed the burger all the same so can recommend it to any pork fans. Well seasoned chips and a Mandarin APA on the side rounded out a fine lunch. I also appreciate the mid-point check-in from the staff. I never know how to respond other than a big thumbs up, but it’s better than being ignored.

Short but good brunch menu. Bacon and eggs were well cooked. Would have preferred bacon to be crispier but personal preference. Good coffee and attentive staff.

After hearing so many great things about the @thehudsononchews bottomless brunch we were super excited to finally go yesterday For $50 you get a brunch item - I got the pulled pork burger and it was divine - and BOTTOMLESS drinks for 2 hours which includes a mimosas, aperol spritz, craft beers and soft drinks The staff were super amazing and our food and drinks came out incredibly quick! Super excited to head back ASAP - need to find another excuse to celebrate

Popped in for lunch while passing time before a flight out of Wellington and had one of the best fried chicken burgers I think I've ever had. The Hudson has a nice vibe, there were people sampling whiskey, craft beer on tap excellent selection and as mentioned the food was bang on! Highly recommended!

American style restaurant with an equal emphasis on food and drinks. Many options on tap for beer/cider and an extensive wine list. Food was great quality, with aged steaks the feature.

I had the chicken burger and it might not have been the best choice. Medium size portions and in general good quality. The staff is friendly the service could be faster. They have a large list of on tap beers and a good selection of wine. The menu is not large so I expected more quality. But may be just my personal expectations where to high. A nice location at a central spot.

THE GORGEOUS CAFE PETONE This must be the most charming Cafe in Petone. The ham “sandwich” I selected was a delicious mix of ham, cheese, mustard and baby spinach warmed to perfection. The roll was more croissant than bread ... mouth watering! Table water was chilled and infused with citrus slices... coffee was creamy and perfectly made. I couldn’t resist the choc lamington, and glad I didn’t. It was the most delicious lunch and I am already eager to return. Bathroom was modern, spotless and pleasant. My only criticism would be the slightly surly staff... however they were so busy I would be hard pressed to summon a smile too - although everyone did receive a polite “thank-you come again as they can left”.

Milk stout and steak. Yummo. Good spot ..bright lights tho...work those dimmers team...get the mood on...Food: 4/5
