A very popular Jericho pub, the Jude comprises one large room served by an island bar, with raised seating areas around the perimeter. Opened in 1871 as the Prince of Wales and renamed in 1995 as a tribute to Thomas Hardy and to reflect that the area features in the book of the same name (as Beersheba). There is a pleasant, suntrap, courtyard garden to the rear with cushions. Opens at 11 every day for breakfast. Refurbished April 2022. Often has house beer 'Obscurity' brewed by Greene King.
