If ever you needed an excuse to save room for dessert, National Dessert Day is it!

Our new autumn and winter desserts launch TODAY. Will you choose Pistachio Cheesecake, treat yourself to a Kinder Bueno Brownie, or try our Tiramisu Ice Cream Sundae? If only a comforting classic will do, there’s Classic Syrup Sponge.

Whether you’re sharing a few spoonful's or keeping every bite to yourself.

Great British Game Week is coming to Axe & Compasses from Monday 2nd to Saturday 7th November.

All week, we’ll be serving a selection of game inspired specials alongside our reduced pub menu, including dishes featuring pigeon, rabbit and venison.

It’s the perfect chance to try something a little different while still enjoying plenty of pub favourites.

Join us all week for the specials and enjoy proper seasonal pub food in a cosy setting.
