"On arriving we was stood at bar then was just pointed to our table by a young girl, not taken to with the menus. We had to sit there and wait for menus. All ready asked for drinks at bar waited a while for them. Asked one of the young girls what a dish was she said l don't know ill go and ask that took her 10 min's to come back. Then we ordered our food and that took nearly an hour before we got that, no apologies from the waitress. I had the Salmon and pasta meal that was absolutely covered like a soup in a really sickly souse, it made me feel sick all night. My husband had the haddock in batter and said the batter tasted terrible. l only eat mine because after waiting an hour l was really hungry. We then ordered deserts wish we hadn't as they took ages to turn up as well. There just seem to be young girls all faffing about behind the bar with no manager there to sort things out."

we have often gone to lunch in the axe and compasses, or for a little good midweek dinner. we are always warmly welcomed and well fed, and so it was the obvious choice for our Christmas dinner this year. eating was great, service organized brilliant and rushed, and as always the atmosphere was fantastic. cannot thank the entire team enough for a fantastic afternoon.

we ate on Sunday afternoon on the last weekend and the quality and quantity of food was as always excellent. despite quite completeness, the service remains timely and polite. it is so beautiful that when ordering water, this is served with ice and lemon, and not with the frit they get so often in other facilities. I can recommend the axe and compasses cordially for great food, service and ambiente.
