Axe & Compass

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.

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

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

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.

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
