Judges Bakery - Rother

Brilliant local bakery and cafe with excellent coffee, pastries and sourdough toasties. The staff were great. Thank you!

Have been coming here regularly for years. Just happened to read the rather mixed reviews below and felt I had to reply, particularly to the suggestions of poor service. I find the staff incredibly efficient and kind. They are making hugely better coffee than a chain, which takes time to prepare, and at the most two staff are on duty to deal with a queue of people in the morning rush. That's simply the economic reality for a small village craft bakery. Inevitably you won't get served as fast as in an urban Costa, but you'll get proper coffee and real organic bread. If you want fast food, go to McDonalds. If you want to be served by someone with time for every customer, come here.

I’ll leave you to make your own mind up on this one. £8.00 for a pot of tea for two with oat milk! Really, we will never return. (It was tasteless as well)

Judges is exactly what a village's local cafe and bakery should be like. Great selection of high quality food, delicious fresh bread choice, interesting selection of biscuits and cakes, and a couple of extra tables and seats outside on the pavement if you fancy al fresco coffee. Love it!

This is the community hub on the high street and has good coffee and selection of sweet treats. They also carry some local products and have fresh bread but it goes fast if you aren't there in the morning. It's small inside for seating, but the table in the back overlooks a lovely garden.
