"A group of 15 walkers went to the Axe Compasses for a mid-week lunch. Everybody enjoyed their lunch and the cozy wood burner, which made for a rewarding finish to our walk. The interior of the pub is rustic and charming, the service was excellent, and I heard several positive comments about the quality of the food and the choice of beers. The two-course lunchtime menu is very reasonably priced. In addition, most dishes on the a la carte menu include the choice of a smaller portion. The pub is tucked away in the historic heart of the lovely village of Braughing, opposite the Church Green, yet close to the A10 and the A120."

"Very nice Sunday lunch. Roast lamb was fantastic. Parsnip puree, roasted carrots potatoes, cauliflower cheese, 1/4 of a hispi cabbage and a large Yorkshire pudding on top.. Cabbage was a bit too hard to cut, otherwise would have been 5 stars Lemon tart with blackcurrant sorbet to finish. Excellent!"

"Found this place as was looking for somewhere half way between two locations so literally just put a pin in a map however we were not disappointed. 8 adults for Sunday dinner, service was fantastic, the portions were very generous, in fact the Crayfish on the Caesar Salad was too generous. The quality and quantity of the meat on the roast dinners was excellent nothing was too much trouble and the staff were delightful take a drive and visit this place it’s worth it"

"The worst meal I can remember having in my life. An absolute calamity from beginning to end, nobody at the bar to meet or seat us. Waited ages, eventually sat down. Got up to ask for menus, got up again 20 mins later to get our drinks from the bar. No water (despite water glasses on the table) Ordered a starter which didn’t come. Had the most absurd main course which was, literally, a single carrot on a sad bed of crunchy old couscous. A single carrot. Obviously had no water no dessert. I cannot express how poor it was. It was v quiet night with us and two other tables; so they certainly weren’t busy. What was most upsetting was we were really considerate of their feelings when feeding back and they still charged service charge!!! Unbelievable. Everyone has bad days but the right thing to do would have been to close for the night rather than steal our money. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1"

"I stopped in here a few weeks ago, I had a pie which was really, really good. However, I spoke to a couple of members of staff as I was in the pub/restaurant trade albeit a 100 miles away; and are always interested in what goes on behind the scenes. To my horror it sounds like the staff are treated very poorly by the management who are assumed to have substance dependency issues. The ship is run like a slave galleon and the staff are trodden down regularly. It would seem the best thing for them to do is leave and to never return. Its not like getting a job for minimum wage in a pub/restaurant is hard... finding one that values you and treats you well is. Coming here is supporting a business that treats those 16-18 years olds who are trying to work, some in their first jobs, really poorly. No matter how good the food is, no business should treat their staff this poorly."
