The food comes looking fab and is hot/cooked well. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere great If near by def worth popping in

Whenever I have eaten there and there have been young children present, they have never been a problem. I have visited both in a small group of adults and with a large family group, and both times I have enjoyed my experience. Whoever you are, they will try their best to accommodate you. When we visited with a an elderly wheelchair bound relative, the staff rearranged the tables so that she could be easily manoeuvred through the restaurant. Of all the restaurants we have visited with her, The Fisherman was easily the most cooperative and considerate. The building is well presented, and the staff are polite and helpful. If you are looking for fine dining in a high class establishment, The Fisherman is not for you. If however you are looking for homely and warming environment, I would definitely recommend eating here.

Outside the restaurant offers a lovely scenic view of a wooded area. This also means that the pub is super for having a quick bite to eat off their reasonably priced menu, before heading onto a countryside walk into the woods for an afternoon. Aside from the nature outside, inside the building offers a warm, mature and characteristic atmosphere which would be well suited for all couples, business meals, families, or the occasional visit with your grandparents for a Sunday lunch. I would certainly recommend for others to visit this pub restaurant.

Main coarses are about £11.50, which I consider fantastic value. If you compare this to other pubs where we have paid £8.95 and had a couple of slices of fatty meat and hard nearly uncooked veg, I would rather pay the little extra and have a superior meal in excellent surrounds, try it for yourself, but remeber to book as it is very popular, must be the good food

If you eat in the bar area you go to the bartender order your drink of choice and meal. Hint...if you only feel like a half portion of fish and chips you can order a half order and for me it's a perfect portion of food. They do have a bar menu too if you don't want fish and chips. But really who goes to a pub in England and not order fish and chips. This is the place to do so. They do have a restaurant but I believe you need a reservation for that. Worth every bit for a nice meal out and I believe that the menu is a bit different.

If you're looking for a good pub, it doesn't get much better than this…read more Lovingly called simply "The Axe" by locals, this pub is in a different league to most other rural pubs. I'll explain why and try to be concise. The cuisine is exceptional. There's a good selection of quality drinks. The service is excellent. The atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming -- the sort of place where complete strangers tend to strike-up conversation. The location is perfect, overlooking the Village Green, with a big beer garden behind, and a vast playing field behind that. It's a lovely village, nestled in the gently-undulating farming landscape of rural north-east Herts -- no wonder Braughing was recently awarded the prestigious "Village of the Year" accolade. The pub's menu always includes the best of local produce, from locally-reared beef to local pork sausages, alongside popular country pub dishes. (Braughing village is famous for, among other things, the delicious local sausages, and this is a good place to sample them.) Did I mention the pies? A different pie every day it seems, and you won't find better pies than these. I don't make a statement like that lightly.

I asked if they'd be open to answer the phone later and he shouted 'the pub is open all day I'm very busy' and hung up on me! So won't be dining there then. Sorry, but first impressions really matter - if you're too busy to answer the phone (the only way to book) then DON'T or implement a different method of booking tables. Don't recommend it, they were horrible and obviously too busy to be bothered.

We took a chance . Wow we're glad we did. It is tucked away in Chinnor, along a very narrow country lane that brings you to the High Street and then the pub. It is stunning from outside and the ambiance and decor inside envelopes you in the years gone by country pub of legend. Only locals here , except us. As soon as we arrived, complete strangers greeted us warmly. We stepped through the door and Coco the owners friendly dog came up to us and said "hello". Lots of local English Bitter on tap and the usual lagers. The menu is compact but it all looked good. The nachos as an appetizer were huge and scrumptious. We both had the steak burger. The photo says a lot, but the taste ! It should be called "wow" Burger. Delicious, The fries ? Best we've had in Britain! Like Gin ? There is a huge list to choose from. The owner and the chef are Polish. This influenced the menu - we had the Polish Apple Cake with vanilla ice cream and did not disappoint. The Shepherds Crook is off the beaten track but is a definite "destination pub" . 5 stars all the way.
