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.

More hungry they have a full menu and my better half rave over the Liver and bacon, whilst I prefer the steak (juicy). Very nice staff and whilst they don't remeber my name (don't get out without the kids much) more importantly they do remember what I drink, what more do you need from your bar staff!! PLEASE NOTE, this is not a place to take the kids, this is a place to go if you are lucky enough to escape from them for a couple of hours. Fancy a flutter they run a poker night on a Thursday

What can I say about the King's Arms? I'm at home here. When we moved to the UK, honestly our most…read moredesired feature was walking distance to a pub. We got stumbling distance to one of the best pubs in the country. This place is well-regarded by everyone in the region. I've met people here who give up walking distance to their local to drive here and have a good time. That says something. My first night here I made friends, and each time I've been here since I find myself in good company either with neighbors we've met before, or people who know we're new to the area and want to welcome us. I can't begin to tell you how often a quick pint before dinner turns into a long session at King's Arms. I wouldn't have it any other way. These guys truly embrace the concept of being the center of village activity. No TVs, no WiFi, these things distract from the community. You come here to interact with your friends and neighbors, enjoy a good beer, and enjoy living in the company of others. They regularly have events to bring the village out. The most impressive of which was the dinner they hosted on the night of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. They served the exact 10-course menu served in first class that evening, and requested everyone bust out their tuxedos and dresses to mark the occasion in grand fashion. It was a remarkable evening. One disappointment, since I have to list one to feel as though I am being fair, is the wine list. We love the temperanillo, but really none of the others. But we're not here to drink wine, we're here to be social! It makes me a little sad that we don't have this type of drinking culture in the US. If you're not an alcoholic, you're not likely be on a first-name basis with the bartenders at a local watering hole. That's why I love walking in here; everyone knows everyone else, they're always happy to see you, they know what you drink, they pour a tasty pint, and are genuinely good people. I dig it.

Situated in the tiny village of Great Brickhill in Buckinghamshire this pub is a great mix between hub of the community and classy country pub date material. On one side you have the restaurant serving up delicious local produce such as steak as well as a few spanish flavours (tony the landlord is from the canary islands) On the other side is the public bar with a few round tables and a roaring log fire in the winter months to keep you cosy. In the summer the garden is wonderful overlooking the beautiful countryside of aylesbury Vale. They also have various events throughout the year such as tapas nights and beer festivals. The drinks selection is good with some fine real ales and a decent selection of wines as well as some fine salty dog crisps to snack on if you're only there for a drink. Its also only 15 mins in the car from the centre of Milton Keynes so after a hard days shopping its a great place to unwind. Little known facts about this pub: the krays used to drink there as they had their countryside abode just across the road, Mick Jagger has had lunch there when researching the movie enigma. If you find yourself in this neck of the woods, i would heartily reccomend it.
