The Axe And Compass

Went to the Axe and compass last night with my son and daughter-in-law 2b. Can't recommend them enough the food was cooked to perfection (we all had steaks) the owner couldn't be more welcoming, and the staff were so helpful. The atmosphere was fantastic and everyone was very friendly this is now my new favourite place to eat. I will definitely be back soon. Anyone looking for fabulous food at very reasonable prices or just a lovely village pub to have a few drinks it's well worth the travel to come here.

My wife and I visited the Axe and Compass for lunch. Firstly, if I could, I would give the young lady behind the bar five stars but as it's the meal I'm reviewing my rating is solely on that. Myral of gammon, egg and chips was the worst meal I have ever had. The chips and gammon burnt. My wife's soup she could stand her spoon up in and the bread was stale. All in all not a good experience at all In mitigation after complaining the waived the price of the food

A busy local pub. 3 real ales on top, I tried Purity and it was good.

Today my husband I had lunch with two friends and the food was delicious. My friend and I had a prawn cocktail which was well presented there were copious prawns as well as a dressed salad and bread butter. My husband had mushrooms in a garlic dip and our friend had chicken strips with a chilli dip. Both starters were large great. The mains of Hunters chicken gammon egg were served with home cooked chips peas. Once again all dishes were well cooked delicious. On our arrival the owners gave us a warm welcome the service was excellent.The cost was very reasonable as we chose the lunchtime offer of 2 dishes for a set price. We will certainly visit again and recommend this pub to our friends.

We visited the Axe and Compass recently with friends. Upon entering the pub there are signs pointing to the bar and “restaurant.” The room was dark with far too many drab, plain, square tables with a stage in the window. No effort made to make it look like a dining room or restaurant. Menu is extensive and reasonably priced although some items were unavailable. Good choice of drinks. Our steaks were spoilt as there was far too much on the plate- chips, tomatoes, onion rings, mushrooms, coleslaw and vast amounts of salad. The presentation was poor. The curry was tasty as was the chicken burger. Overall, it was a disappointing experience although the waitress who served us during the evening was faultless- well done her.
