The main bar is the hub of the pub and in the cooler months is a lovely spot for drinks and casual dining, there are two wood burning stoves either end to keep you all snug.
The dining room is spacious and airy with a pitched roof with three fabulous pink chandeliers. There are three semi private spaces all with banquette seating and very versatile so can be used for standing canapé drinks parties or intimate semi private dining.

The food was amazing. I went for the ribeye and my fiancé had a pizza. I kid you not this ribeye was one of if not the best I've ever had, it was seasoned and cooked to perfection 👌 my fiancé also loved her pizza, it was a very good size and I had to help her finish it 😅 service was also really great and we can't wait to go back.

We booked the Axe and Compasses to catch up with friends and have a nice dinner out. It was our first time there and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent, with generous portions, as was the service; our two servers were both friendly and professional, and a credit to the pub. Consensus was that everything tasted great, but special mention to the pork belly dish with black pudding mash that my friend ordered, it looked superb and the report back was that it was delicious! It was a bit quiet in term of ambience, we were the only diners in the restaurant area for most of the night, but it was a very cold evening, so people may have just not have been going out much. We will definitely plan to come back, lovely experience all round.

Hi Catherine, Thank you for your kind words and five star review, and we thrilled you enjoyed your meal. I will pass your feedback onto our team, as we love to celebrate when guests give us awesome reviews. I'm so glad your guest loved the pork belly, it's a firm favourite on our menu, and other guest love it also. Hopefully it will get warmer and we really look forward in welcoming you back to the Axe and Compasses very soon. Kind Regards, The A&C Team

Disappointing meal, pizzas were the only main meal on offer (the kitchen wouldn’t let us order from the full menu, roasts had sold out). I’m pretty sure they were frozen bases.. real shame.

Relaxed Sunday lunch. Sat in the bar area where it was warm and cosy near one of the two fires. Only issue is the two TV’s they have running in the bar area, which can be a distraction. A handful of other customers were watching the football and the sound was off, so it was not a real issue.

Hi Phillip, Thank you for your kind words and five star review, and we thrilled you enjoyed your Sunday lunch. We are the only pub the area with sky sports in the village and we do try and keep the sound to a minimum when sport is on as we know its not everybody's cup of tea! We look forward in welcoming you back very soon. Kind Regards, The A&C Team
