Very expensive. Set menu and wasn’t informed before arrival. Staff were nice but weren’t accommodating when we questioned about the set menu as would not have booked if we knew this in the first place.

So very happy we decided to come back to the Axe and Compasses after a couple of years, and what a surprise! The decor in the bar and restaurant was amazing, only surpassed by the quality of the food which was excellent. Just a tiny moan, had requested a table in the bar but was a little disappointed to be seated in the restaurant but it didn't affect our super lunch! Can't wait to come back and will certainly recommend to all our friends.

We have dined here a number of time since its reopening. The first Sunday roast was amazing. We have had many lunches with good reviews. But today was not great. The first was the extortionate price of spirits £15.50 for a double spirit and lemonade! Then the pizza was a spicy sausage! The sausage was not spicy whatsoever. We had 5 roasts the beef was tough and not very warm . The staff were very pleasant. Overall quite a disappointing visit. We will probably return but not for a roast

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.
