What’s been your dessert of the summer?

Ours has got to be the Eton Mess. Whipped sweetened cream, meringue, summer berries and vanilla ice cream. Simple, summery and seriously good.

Or, if you’re going all out, there’s our Cherry, Pistachio & Brownie Sundae with brownie pieces, Morello cherries, vanilla and chocolate ice cream, pistachio sauce, whipped cream and all the toppings.

Eton Mess or Sundae?

We’re not wishing summer away in any way, especially as it’s been a pretty great one… but we can’t lie, we’re starting to get a little bit excited for cosy pub season again.

Cosy corners, comforting food, darker evenings and a proper pint inside.

Which do you prefer, the pub in summer or winter?

We get some seriously impressive cars stopping by The Axe & Compasses! 🚗

From classic cars to something a little more modern, you never quite know what might pull into the car park.

Great food, a pint in the garden and some impressive motors to admire along the way.

Have you spotted any of these at The Axe recently?

Did you know we have a menu just for your four legged friends?🐾

We love dogs at the pub and they are always welcome! So bring them along next time you're joining us.

Because a trip to the pub is always better when the dog can come too!
