The pub is beautiful and cosy, the landlady was kind and cheerful and the food.....oh god, the food! We both had a starter of pigeon, not something you usually see on a pub menu and it was superbly cooked and tasted amazing. For my main I chose the steak burger with chips and onion rings, the burger was big, flavoursome and juicy and the touch I like is that the tomato ketchup on table was all homemade, not from a bottle! We will certainly come back to this awesome place if we are ever near the area again because it was outstanding!!

Looking for a mid-week, working stop over near Norwich. I got a great deal booking through…read morelaterooms.com. £30 a night inc B&B, so I wasn't expecting much. What a find! A superb little coaching Inn with barrels of old world charm throughout. The bar and the restaurant offer a comprehensive selction of real ales and top notch pub food. The services is polite and friendly. But the biggest surprise was the room. I was expecting a single bed in a cramped corner but was offered a very tastefully decorated mini-suite with a very spacious and modern bathroom on the lower level and the huge double bedroom above in a renovated loft space. The only thing to let this place down is that at the time of writing, mobile phone & internet access is very poor and non-existant. If the hotel was to offer Wi-Fi to its mid-week working customers I think I could forgive the lack of mobile reception which is obviously beyond the hotel's control. Highly recommended as both comfortable and affordable with great food and drink. Ideal weekend getaway.

I was so disappointed when I had my last meal there as the quality was poor. I had a burger and I was expecting something which tasted homemade. It was just processed rubbish and it tasted awful. The same can be said for the dessert. To be fair to the manager, he was very apologetic and we didn't pay for any of the food that we complained about.

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.

There is a reasonable ca park as it gets quite hard to park in the summer. I have visited for lunch and dinner and both were very nicely presented and well cooked. The skate is very tasty and the scampi and Jenga chips are good. The costs can be a little bit higher for lunch but the menu is very similar and therefore for dinner, I thought it was quite reasonable. Peter who used to be at another Billericay restaurant is the restaurant manager and as normal makes sure we get well looked after.
