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.

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.

When he left to go to the restroom and come back an employee put his hand on my husband's chest and tried to keep him from walking in the room and back to our table. The bar was not closed and many were still seated so I can't even say he was trying to ask him not to enter because they were closed. Even still, he could have used his words and instead chose to touch him. This really put a damper on the evening. The ambiance is really nice. I love the space. The decor and lighting make for a great evening experience. Outside of The Library, other Lanesborough employees were extremely friendly, with one even happily taking our photo.

The haddock cakes and the ploughman's lunch were really tasty and reasonably priced (£7.50 and £6.50 respectively, May 2014). They have a steak night on Thurs for £11 (they suggest calling ahead) that includes a glass of wine, as well as a Trivia night on Tuesdays. If you're coming from Cambridge, it's a great bike ride on a sunny day alongside the Guided busway and then on the 10,000 strips genome trail.
