Loved it
We had an amazing meal at the Axe and compasses in Braughing yesterday. I cant believe we've lived in Buntingford for 21 years and only just found this lovely friendly little pub. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was great with 2 log burners it is so cosy. We will definitely we going back.
We went to The Axe & Compasses a few weeks back and got so much more than a pub dinner. Excellent food, all made from scratch, brilliant and friendly service, great atmosphere and the wine was fantastic. Have been raving about this pub to anyone who will listen! Go - you won't be disappointed!
Came across this excellent local pub at the end of a long walk. We were welcomed by the very friendly landlord and the locals all greeted us too (which was nice).
Good beer and very tasty freshly made food at good price. Just wish we lived a bit nearer and it would become a regular!
A lovely warm welcome from the friendly staff behind the bar, we were lucky to grab the one and only table left which hadn't been reserved. A nice log burner was glowing in the snug. We ordered our food and although we did have to wait quite some time for it to arrive it was worth it. All locally sourced ingredients made it a really nice change from the regular processed grub served in many pubs we have visited. Will definitely be stumbling in to this cosy little establishment again :)
Such a nice pub! Would recommend to anyone! Amazing food and company x

Lovely fresh food cooked to order , great service , and excellent Value for money
Wonderful pub/restaurant, with amazing friendly people working there! The house is approx. 600 years old and full of charm!
Beautiful place to e.g. start your trip to UK with a fantastic lunch offer!!
Yet another excellent bargain lunch at the Axe. For £9.99 each, prawn salad starters, then small chicken and bacon pie for me and scampi and chips for my wife. Unbeatable...
We booked for Sunday dinner
I had the roast chicken and Debs had the beef.
Both were absolutely outstanding,roast potatoes were perfect more needed though
The desserts were a match for the mains.
All in all one of the best we've ever had.
Pre ordered group booking. Good food, served promptly and together.

Highly recommended
And compliments to the chef.

Nice local pub in a quiet spot, with outdoor seating at the rear of the property.
Menu / food was good and served to a high finish. Marked 4/5 stars as we went midweek (only 4-5 tables were occupied) but got the impression they were short staffed / stressed by the volume.
Great food and lovely old fashioned type pub with plenty of history.
Good food, good service. Free parking at the back of the restaurant.
Nice little village pub, very friendly bar lady who was helpful and polite, you can sit inside or they have benches out the front and also an area out the back you can sit in.
Food was nice and portion sizes were great even the small plate lunch was a good size, perfect lunchtime size , definitely go back! 👍🏻
Situated in a picturesque village, there is a car park at the side. There is a good welcome, and the pub is clean, and comfortable. A good English menu with choice of small or larger plates of food, it was all well cooked. Nice selection of deserts. Service was very attentive, and we felt very comfortable. The ladies was very clean and well equipped. A traditional English pub worth a visit.
We had a fantastic experience last night booked a table for 4 the landlord was so friendly couldn’t do enough for us , the meals were homemade and delicious and a good price highly recommend . We had a big round table by the log burner so cosy.
What a fantastic restaurant we popped in on the off chance for Sunday dinner yesterday and the food was very very good, some of the best roast beef I have ever had. Also the deep fried brie starter was exceptional . All the staff were very friendly and polite. Will be there almost every Sunday from now on for my roast.
Lovely welcome, helpful staff & efficient service. Food portions are generous; the sausages based on a local Braughing recipe are absolutely devious 😋
At last we have found a pub which serves a good range of vegan mains and deserts. The cheesecake was delicious. Will definitely be returning to sample the rest of the vegan options .
What a proper little gem. A picturesque little cottage with welcoming and polite staff and beautiful home cooked food. A great selection of food and drinks and an outdoor bar.
Visited on a Sunday had a lovely roast plus other things from the menu all really nice and the staff were friendly and helpful too. A really nice place for a drink and food.
