It's got strange live music, a pool table, a beer garden, free newspapers, a small but decent selection of beers, seating on the street, bar billiards (sometimes) and... thousands of pigs. That's right - this dark but warm little pub is brimful of random pig toys, pig posters and pig sculptures. It adds a unique atmosphere to an already well-known atmospheric pub. Being only about 20 houses away, you can trust me that this is a true local gem. After 5 on most nights you'll find this place packed with drinkers who can't be bothered to go home just yet or catch the train home to the villages. Even if it's near-freezing out you'll still see us taking our beers out and sitting on the grass by the BBC next door so that the smokers can smoke away. And on a hot summer night - it's just perfect. No need to go home until I get thrown out.

This pub is situated in the more affluent area of the village and attracts a regular crowd. There are some good ales and they have Aspall cider on draught which is lovely! The food is good - pub grub with a hint of style and not too pricey. There is a snug area that has a fairly big TV but this only seems to be on for major sporting events and does not spoil the general atmosphere of the pub, which it has to be said is on the cosy side. Overall it is a nice village pub. The landlord operates a strictly no swearing policy which can get a little tiresome. As a father and a son I don't want my kids or my old mum exposed to excessive bad language BUT at 10pm when you are out with your pals having a few beers in your local pub some Anglo Saxon will be uttered... it is a pub, an English pub and the constant paranoia of saying the wrong thing and being barred does not lend itself to a good night out.

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.
