Axe And Compass Pub

A good local pub, busy on Tuesday nights when we come in regularly for a Dad &.Son beer night. As my son is a Ringstead resident it saves me extra driving. There's always some interesting guest beers on, good no alcohol choices if you're driving and nice food, so it pretty much ticks all the boxes. We've eaten here with the whole family on a good few occasions now and always enjoy it. Service is good, friendly and efficient. What's more, it feels friendly. You know that thing when you walk in to a pub and it doesn't feel welcoming? Its the opposite here and has a good atmosphere. There's nearly always decent music playing too. All in all, we like it!

Enjoyed a fabulous Sunday lunch with family. Our first visit and it won't be our last. A tasty choice of beef, turkey or pork. Offered in two portion options. I had the large with a mix of turkey and pork. Loads of crispy roasts, wide and generous selection of vegetables, yorkie and stuffing, choice of plain or mustard mash too. Superb value and very filling. So much so, I was unsure we had room for desserts, however, that was quickly dismissed and teased into one by a whole list of my favourites. Sticky Toffee pud!. This was made in heaven, light in texture and so delicious with ice cream. You will have to check out the others for yourselves ; ) The staff/team were engaging, attentive and welcoming. Topping off the perfect lunch.

I can not recommend The Axe and Compass highly enough! I have to be gluten and dairy free, and they were so switched on! The Landlord immediately explained how careful him and the chef are with any allergies or intolerances, and that they use a separate fryer, separate prep area and do a double wipe down for Coeliacs.....as long as they are informed about any allergies. They had a separate extensive GF, vegan, and Vegetarian menu, and, when the food came, the portions were very generous. I had Moroccan style Cauliflower Bites , Penang Curry, and fruit crumble with coconut vegan ice cream. It was all delicious. My table companions all said their food was excellent. I would definitely recommend a visit. It was such a treat. We will definitely be back!!! Keep up the good work Axe and Compass.
