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.

Only about a couple of dozen other people there when we arrived at 9pm so plenty of room and no problem finding a seat. Half the people there around a table in the conservatory area playing cards and that looked like fun. Would best describe this as an old traditional pub with low beamed ceilings and picturesque little windows. Well worn, lived in look to the place made it feel homely. No piped music either which was nice change. Good draught selection and wine for the ladies came in 30ml mini bottles which was nice and not to expensive either. The fact that it was so quiet on a Friday is a bit ominous and probably a reflection of the times so don't expect it to be around for long which would be a shame.

Lovely old pub, this. It's pretty close to one of our favourite parks for the dog, Hughenden Park…read more Of course it is dog friendly and has a lovely garden, opposite a beautiful old church. Nice setting, to be sure. They have an excellent selection of wines and craft beers and the food is really good too. I wouldn't call it "elevated" but it's very solid country pounds fare. It's worth the trip!

Of course, it does sausages (50 different sorts) served on mash with beans and gravy - big servings and great on a winters day. The black rock grills are popular and yummy, where your choice of meat comes out cooking on a very hot rock with salad and wedges. Try the exotic meats from Africa and Australia!! Very rugby orientated, don't ask for the football to be on! Friendly service orientated staff, most from the southern hemisphere.
