The food is superb, and the drinks to match. My favorite aspect has to be the quiet garden that is always spotlessly clean and peaceful.

Be prepared to duck when going from room to room -- the ceilings are quite low! The service is awesome and the food is delicious. I've gotten the steak and ale pie with chips, the mezze plate, and fish & chips. The food all tastes very high quality and almost anything you could order will be delicious. They have a big event tent in the back that they use for either extra restaurant seating or to rent out. Our family hosted a wedding celebration for us back there and they let us bring our own food, cake, and decorations, but had a bar window open so everyone could still order drinks from them. It was the perfect space and we enjoyed every second. The owners rock!

I was on a one day trip to Milton Keynes this weekend, and on the way there we had lunch in this…read morecosy pub. The atmosphere was great, very classic. We were told the pub is 500 years old, which is kind of amazing. We only had a limited selection of entrees since we were on a tight schedule. The fish & chips and the burger were the popular choices. I ended up ordering the burger, which was really good, but I must say the fish really looked yummy too. The burger was perfectly cooked, with cheese and bacon with fries on the side. Of course we also had to have a nice cold beer with our food, so we got a big one :-) This is definitely a place I would like to come back to and try something else from their menu, and I'm guessing it's a really nice place in the summer as well, as they have a lot of outdoor seating as well.

Beer well looked after, food well presented and tasty, and excellent friendly service. Only minor quibble would be the menu is not very inventive - but then it does not claim gastro-pub status.

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.
