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.

First time with the new axe and compass team, beautiful decor in which to dine in, service and food was great even though I would have preferred more fish on the menu, the only downside was constant freezing drafts by people coming in and out of the back door of the dining area.

The 25 minute journey to the axe and compasses is well worth making. On arrival you are greeted by happy, smiling staff and the food is delicious with an excellent choice from the menu. Recommend the roast beef on a Sunday. For the drivers amongst us there was a good selection of nonalcoholic drinks. Parking is great (no yellow lines).

There was 7 of us. I had chicken skewers which were dry. Friend had fish finger sandwich, fish fingers were hard. The other meals were ok. Wine quite expensive. Better to order a bottle if more than one drinking it. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was good timing. Pub recently refurbished and very nice. We may have been unlucky with food so try it yourself. I wouldn’t rush back to eat.
