Hudson's.

Last night, some very good birthday steak was had at Hudson's in Bath. I've always wanted to go here, having heard high praise of it serving the best steak in Bath, but was hesitant that their early evening offer of £15.95 for steak béarnaise and a glass of wine might disappoint. Well, it certainly didn't! The meat was perfectly cooked - slightly crisp and smoky on the edges and meltingly tender within - and there was almost too much for us to eat (I say almost, but we managed to power through!) The house wine was a deep Merlot which complemented the steak so well that we ordered another couple of glasses. I can't really fault the service either - laid back, warm but unobtrusive. Just right for a relaxed Tuesday evening, and we didn't feel pushed to order any extras, which can often happen with these pre- theatre specials. I'd definitely recommend this place, whether you fancy an early dinner at excellent value, or a more elaborate affair - which we'll be sure to return for another time when we're feeling more flush!
