After a desperately disappointing experience with another local pub, we tried the Axe and Compass out again after not visiting for a couple of years (fun fact: my husband proposed to me outside of this pub!), and we were really happy! Drinks are reasonably priced, plenty of comfortable spots to sit, nice ambience, friendly members of staff, and a very cute dog! What more could you ask for?!

We put in our order, there was only one other table sat down. My daughterâs food came out no problem, although only asked for fries after it had been served. We also wanted mayonnaise however thought we would wait for service for my main...this took an AGE! So much so that I had eaten half of her chips and then after FINALLY ordering was told later that there was no mayonnaise, I then asked for peppercorn sauce for her which was vinegary and very clearly microwaved. My main of steak came and was again left waiting a ridiculously long time for the blue cheese sauce, so much so that my steak was then tepid. Oh dear lord, it was awful! I complained to the wait staff who conceded that it was made from blue cheese dressing instead of properly like my 6yo daughter makes! We didnât have time to have a replacement as it had taken long enough in the first place and it was truly awful. I would not recommend this place, slow kitchen, service forgets your order and are aware itâs so awful and disgusting!

We ate here one Saturday night. Atmosphere was lovely and the whole pub has a touch of class. However the menu is misleading. We ordered two burgers both with bacon and cheese. This took over an hour to arrive and they werenât overly busy either. On the menu it clearly states with âslawâ meaning coleslaw however when on arrival food did not have coleslaw. When I asked the waitress if she had coleslaw she said she would check with kitchen and apparently it doesnât. So why is it on the menu then?My burger also had a hard looking twig in it which I have uploaded a photo of. But besides that the burger itself was delicious and the chips were pretty damn good.Then dessert, both ordered creme brulee only to be told five minutes after ordering they didnât have it. Okay well that didnât bother me too much because I did like the look of the cheese board. However my cheese board that was meant to have crackers with it didnât. By this point I was too frustrated to even ask where my crackers were but what annoyed me most was the lady behind who claimed she was gluten intolerant and wondered if she could have bread instead of crackers got her bread fine, lots of it in a basket. Honestly that annoyed me more than anything. Yes I couldâve said something but why should I have to? Iâd already had to ask about coleslaw which apparently wasnât a thing! Itâs such a shame because before I ate, I thought how lovely the pub was and I didnât want to leave a review like this. I would come again because the quality of the food was really good and the atmosphere is pleasant and staff were friendly but honestly it seems like crucial condiments on the menu were ignored! Needs sorting as the place isnât cheap to eat at as it is, without missing things from the menu. The chefs need to take another look at the menu and sort their acts out!

Came here Tuesday lunch to have a catch up with friends whom I havenât seen in a while. We all ordered off the main menu everything was going smooth. UNTIL we never ended up getting a check back. Now I believe it states âno check back= free cakeâ well this was far from what we got offered. We asked about the cake and the âmanagerâ said âI believe my colleague checked on your foodâ if so... why wasnât the stick taken? We never had a check back at all! So again we asked about the cake he then stood there shrugged his shoulders and said âwe donât have any fudge cake to give out, I canât do anything about itâ so what happens if others donât get a check back would he say the same to other customers? I was truly disappointed with the way the âmanagerâ came across and dealt with the situation and how rude he was to all of us. Dear Guest,Firstly I would like to apologise for this visit and can ensure you that I will be looking into these issues immediately and I will be raising them at the next team meeting to ensure we can improve upon these issues.Kind Regards,

I come here once every few months.Staff are always friendly and helpful.They accept dogs which is great.Food is always lovely with a lot of variety- they do a specials dish.The cocktails they do are really nice too. Only downsides are during a heat wave-avoid as itâs so hot in there.Fusty smell of the building at timesHi there, thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. What a lovely review! We agree on the heatwave front, however we make sure our windows are wide open and our cold drinks are flowing! Thank you again for taking the time to review, we look forward to seeing you again!

I was so impressed with the meal when I went the first time that I've been back four times since. The atmosphere and venue is amazing. The menu is wonderful with lots of selection and some really great food. I'm not really a salad person but their salads a definitely something I would choose. If you want a nice relaxing evening or something for a special occasion this is your place
