"Everything about the place was 10/10. We arrived to a relatively empty pub at 12pm today and were quickly seated. The lunchtime menu was quite varied and there was a specials board with a few extras too... So plenty to choose from. I had the chicken tikka with rice, a poppadom and a small naan bread which were all Indian restaurant standard and my friend had the Steak pie with new potatoes which he also thoroughly enjoyed. Both service and the atmosphere were spot on, the lady serving us, would regularly check in and see whether we needed more drinks etc, very impressed with her. Overall, this, beautiful pub, which is over 200 years old, certainly hit the mark, excellent bar, area and I would guess it is a very popular village pub at a weekend. Great food, service and a lovely pub too. Visited 1st November 2023."

After completion of a 4.5 mile walk, in the area, we called into the Axe Compass for something to eat. The lunch menu had a good variety. Food was excellent. Proprietor was most helpful and welcoming. Price was good. Would call in again if in the area.

Very disappointed ,my husband and I both had fish and chips, the fish wasok but the chips were awful, they were nearly cold some were soft and soggy and others were hard and undercooked. I pointed this out to the person who served us who said they use different potatoes to what you get at home surely potatoes are potatoes what sort of answer was that? We have been there many times and never had any trouble before always been excellent, such a shame Speisekarte ansehen

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

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.

Parked for a round walk of Kinewell Lake and once back had lunch. Sat in the bar area. Bit 1980’s and lacking any real ambience. The inside does not match the look outside. Olde world pub out, 1980’s conference space in. Would benefit from a creation of snugs and more traditional pub. Food was fine. No ploughman’s though? Jacket spuds large and well cooked and fillings tasty. Selection of Panini’s. Decent bar. Local ale and nice gin selection. Not a place you would sit snugly inside over a pint as it is a bit too stark. Staff were lovely. Service no issues and we were checked in on. Just needs the revamp in the bar to bring life back to what could be a lovely traditional quirky pub. Speisekarte ansehen

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 w...

"a difficult review when the restaurant tried to provide the service that I am sure they wanted. a busy Saturday midday in December, all the tables were tightly packed, there were no ceiling ventilation or were all windows open to provide covid ventilation protection. the menu is large with a lot of choice. we went for a selection of starters to share under the family. most were very small dishes, the flower flowers bites consisted only small floccules. I think that this was too expensive for everyone. for the net I divided half a steak/ale cake and crispy chili bark. the bark in the torte was chewing and blande, the chips rode in a customs of their life, and the muddy peas were simply crushed, cultivated garden. the chili beef on the other side was sensational, fully spiced, steaming hot and loads of it, with rice and crack. the dishes could no longer differ in quality and taste. similar mixed results were reported from the rest of the table. I appreciate that covid has hit local food companies hard and they are still trying to get their pre-pandemic service. there were many guests who were fed and the kitchen struggled to supply consistency; our main dishes were delivered in intervals, so we did not eat together and it took to put the net on the table. as mentioned it was brushed, but a service fee was added to the bill. I think this is a bad service, even if one takes into account the difficulties of the covid. I hope that this feedback will be taken and traded so that we can see an improvement when we visit next."

"this was my birthday contract with the children (in their 40's go to lunch big situation, but the management is missing in action. we smiled at the typos. the menu, but it turned out to be a symptom of deficiency...view to detail. very friendly (but quite inexperienced waiting staff. great location and a very warm welcome. water came pretty fast. the starters were pretty good (3 ham hock croquettes and a panko chicken. the mains were another thing. two fish and chips very nice, good portions and well presented. burger was terrible. here is the menu description 6oz coarsely ground beef burger, candied speck, soft bevel, cheddar cheese, salattomate . the reality was a burger in a bungalow with a piece soggy salat and maybe some cheese. no speck, no tomats, no wobble so £18 for an average qualitysburger and they have to pay extra for riders! To conclude that there was at least 5 10 minutes after the other net, so we sat just wait and had to ask the waitress when it came. description • crispy confit ente bein, herby buttermilk waffel, fried due egg with maple senf dressing the reality that was inspected and watery it looked out and tasted as if it were boiled to death. the herby buttermilk waffel was chewing and certainly in a blind taste test I would swear that there is no more crumble in. to cover, it was cold. the sniffing was nicely spread in the waffles that gave them a taste. we also ordered the knochenmark from the menu. No one had said to the poor waitress that they should have been ordered to tell the diners what was going on and no. the menu. when we complained, the manager had not even come the courtesy and see us they left the poor junior waiterin to explain that the speck had not come with the delivery to the last day (one ever heard that he jumps out of the super market to buy some? and there was no excuse for the missing tomats, very badly sorry for us, so on. desserts the brownie was very nice, but the eton mess was a catastrophe. it came in a small delicate glass. in the ground a buckling of whipped cream with some slabs of stone hard meringue and some earthy with stems overfilled with some earthberry syrup. after bending the spoon. we decided to solve it by hand. I was afraid that I would break a tooth on the notched position that really needed to be served with a hammer. the only way to eat the earthy was to pick them up from the body, to bite and to eat to which time our hands were covered in sauce. on the plus side, they drew the price of the burger and Eton fair and 25% of the duck, as we had 3 glasses of wine and a koks, the bill was still over £120 without drinking money. to say that by my choice of restaurants, I would be embarrassing a rough understatement."
