I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Axe & Compass for the first time, and let me tell you, it was an absolute treat. We made a reservation, which I'd recommend, and our table was all set up and snug in a cozy corner when we arrived.
The service was top-notch, thanks to our waiter, who was a genuinely nice bloke. He was super attentive, polite, and even went out of his way to be friendly with my little daughter, giving her crayons to keep her entertained.
Now, let's talk about the food. It was delicious! The presentation was on point, and every bite was bursting with flavor. I've got to give a special shout-out to the rack of ribs - hands down, the best I've ever had in a pub restaurant! I can't recommend it enough.
In short, The Axe & Compass was a fantastic experience. The service and food were nothing short of brilliant, and we'll definitely be coming back for more. If you're planning a visit, I'd say make sure to book a table - you won't regret it! Overall, a well-deserved 5 stars.
I've heard so many good things about this place prior to visiting.
It's such a picturesque pub, overlooking fields and beautifully lit up at night. All the staff are so welcoming and helpful. The food is elegantly placed and tastes delicious. I was very happy with my food and the service and will be back at some stage in the future 😋
Visited this lovely pub today after going to a local pumpkin farm. Pub had lovely atmosphere, food was delicious and staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend a visit if you are in the area.
First time visiting with daughter in law and granddaughters. We were welcomed by friendly staff. The place has a lovely warm feel to it. So well decorated to give this feel of home. The staff are polite and very helpful. Our food looked and was delicious. We will be returning with other members of our large family for Sunday lunch.
Delicious food, we had the roast , pork and turkey with a side of cauliflower cheese. Could have done with being a bit hotter, maybe heat the plates.
Dessert was pineapple and rum upside down cake and Eton mess.
The Eton mess was made with blackberry and blackcurrant and it was fantastic. The berries were a nice sharp contrast to the meringue and cream.
Long wait for dessert but it was worth the wait
A really big thank you to the super staff who accommodated our request for a table full of sides and starters. Nothing was too much trouble . The food was absolutely delicious, really very tasty. Big thank you too, to the chef who managed to prep and deliver our selection all at once. Super evening to compliment our girls weekend x
Axe and Compass is in the middle of the Rodings so little drive but worth the visit.
Has a new Manager this year who is very nice.
The food is good quility and good value especially 241 days Monday to Wednesday, Monday is Roast, Tuesday is Burgers and Wednesday fish. We went on a Wednesday and both meals were excellent.
They have three real ales, which they rotate, none to my taste this time, see picture but normally have London Pride on.
I would recommend booking to ensure a table as popular.
They advertise quiz night and I been to singers nights so check if that interest you.
Large outside area, garden and covered area.
Lovely meal. We had the roasts,turkey and pork for me with the cauliflower cheese side.
Very tasty but it could have been a tad hotter, maybe heat the plates.
Dessert was worth the rather long wait. I had the Eton mess with mixed berries which was fantastic just a bit of sharpness from the berries complementing the cream and meringue.
Husband said the pineapple and rum upside down cake was delicious.
A lucky mistake for us as we meant to go to the axe and compasses in arkesden but that will wait for another day
Loved this place. Great food. Waiting time was a bit long but that's ok as all food was cooked from scratch. Excellent quality. Loved it.
Unexpected find after having visited Cammas Hall Farm. Inviting interior with great decorative touches and a beautiful fireplace. Food was delicious.
