Axe Cleaver Public House

Visited here while camping in the area. It did not disappoint so we visited every night of our trip! Warm welcoming pub, friendly staff, nice varied menu, we tried a new dish every night and we enjoyed them all. Would highly recommend and would visit again when in the area.

Liver bacon? Where was the bacon? All served on a cold dish. Sent it back to be heated up. My wife's tikka masala was just warm. Why do chefs serve hot food on cold plates? They don't serve salads on hot plates? They lad on the carvery was on his phone all the time, complete with headphones...?

Tired roadside village pub. Friendly staff Sunday lunch carvery was disappointing but we did have a late 3pm booking. The vegetables were sadly processed which in the height of summer and a glut of produce was really sad. Peas, sliced carrots, a cheesy leek mixture and watery cabbage, the meat however, was very good and fresh although a little dry Ver carta

Don't be fooled by the appearance of this place. It is a hidden gem for dining and is also dog-friendly. The menu is extensive and offered at a great price. They even have a special meat mash and gravy option for dogs. My t-bone steak was cooked perfectly and my partner's dish was also excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant for its delicious food.

What a treat. We all really enjoyed our meal. It was presented well and tasted amazing. Especially the liver and bacon.. Yum, Yum.. We followed with a pudding. Apple pies with custard.. and profiteroles with Cheesecake. We all want to congratulate the chef and staff on the quality of the food and service. Well done.. Would highly recommend this as a place to eat!

Even though the exterior of this small pub may not seem like much, the interior is cozy and inviting. A major plus was that it was dog-friendly throughout the entire establishment. There were plenty of options on the menu and the food was generously portioned, delicious, and reasonably priced. We ended up visiting twice during our stay in the area and had a great experience both times. Ver carta

Used this pub last year and although there was a long wait, the food was good. This year, when ordering we were told wait would be one hour, it turned out to be 1 hr 45mins. Food was quite average, ribs were sinewy and tough, vegan lasagne was disappointing, pasta bolognese meat was lumpy, chips were nice, salad and burgers were OK. The long wait, with kids, was tedious, and we skipped dessert as a result. Will not be going again.

Looking for somewhere to eat and we thought we would take a chance. Looks can be deceptive from the outside it looked ordinary but inside a warm welcome, very extensive menu and a good range of drinks including a choice of alcohol free. We had the pie of the day, mixed grill and ribs. All great. Hot, well cooked. We had not noticed the missing onion rings but the chef did and he brought them out in a bowl. Nice chips. Would recommend if you are out this way.

We have passed this pub many times and decided to go on Sunday 3rd September for the carvery. There was a lovely choice of vegetables, roast potatoes, mash potatoes, roast parsnips, cabbage, carrots, peas, leeks in cheese sauce, cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire pudding and stuffing. A choice of meats, turkey, beef, gammon and pork. I am a turkey kinda girl, my friend had a bit of each and my partner went with beef and pork. We all thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday carvery. It was £9.99 on a Sunday with, I think it is cheaper in the week We sat outside as the weather was lovely and we had the dog with us, although dogs are also allowed inside. This pub also offers a meal for the dog. Meat, mash and... Ver carta
