I used to love Furzton Lake when I was a vegetarian, their mac and cheese always hit the spot for…read moreme. Since going vegan, I'd only gone back once and had beans on toast and felt the options were limited. My sister suggested going there for lunch and I initially said no before deciding to check if they'd changed their menu. To my surprise they had added a vegan fish and chips -- which was well-priced and simple, but did the job and I'll definitely be back again. Quick service too, missed a couple things off our order but was quickly rectified. Has a real family pub vibe. Recommend for a catch-up with friends or an affordable meal out with family. Only issue I found is it could be a lot cleaner - floors were covered in food but fortunately we weren't eating on the floor!

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.

The Old Thatched Inn is a lovely old building dating back to 1702, but lovingly restored after a…read moremuch more recent fire. The front of the building is the original old rooms which have been knocked through to give a more intimate atmosphere, at the back of the pub is more recent and has a large modern conservatory which is nice, but can be noisier. The pub has decent traditional ales, and the wine list is good. It has about a dozen each of whites and reds, a couple of rose wines from around £12 to £37. There are about eight champagnes from around £18 to £100. Most people don't come here to drink, they come to eat, and the menu is varied with more fish dishes available on Friday. Starters range from around £5 to £7, mains £12 to £17, deserts about £5 to £7. We had homemade fish cakes with Salad and Homemade Tartare Sauce for £6.90 which were excellent and Gravadlax with Smoked Salmon Pate, Toast & Cress Salad which was the same price and tasty, but a little too oily for my taste, it would have benefitted from a good-sized wedge of lemon. We followed this by Roast Aylesbury Duck Breast, Confit Leg with Gratin Potato, Plum & Ginger Compote for £14.95 and Roast Local Rare Breed Lamb with Crushed Jerseys Royals, Marsh Samphire & Tomato: both were excellent and very tasty. We were flagging a little now, so we shared a portion of cheese and biscuits at £6.50: it was nice, but I've had better. Overall the wine and food are excellent and the staff and service are both very good. There is a reasonable sized car park, but as the place gets very busy (so best to book a table) and parking can therefore be a challenge. Highly recommended.

Parking is the only thing wrong with this place. The food is great, the service is great and it's…read moregot a really snug feel about it. Open fires means that this really feels like and old fashioned inn. Off the beaten track a bit but worth a visit. It really caters for all types as well which is nice and perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Only peckish,…read morethey serve some lovely baguettes/sandwiches for £5 and come with chips, side salad (very fresh, very nice with dressing) and a lovely creamy coleslaw, I recommend the following (and my stomache is growling thinking about them) prawn bagutte, Chicken, Chirizo and cheese Panini and their burgers. 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

Returned to try this pub restaurant today after a long time away. A friend told me this week the…read morelast managers had done a bunk. The pub / restaurant has only been open for 3 days and the new management were very welcoming. The beer was well kept or so my husband told me - £3.60 fior a pint of Abbot seemed slightly expensive though. The food was good, my husband had butternut squash soup and I had a parfait of chicken livers. We followed with Roast Beef accompanied by horseradish sauce. I would have liked more gravy on my dinner and a little more beef but that was my only gripe. We shared the cheese plate for desert, 1 cheddar and 2 blue cheeses one of which was stilton, would have preferred only 1 blue cheese, came with two small slices of bread and some dried apricots. We had the last two beef available so I assume this is why the portion was small -the 1 slice was thick and pink and very tasty. £1.50 for sparkling water is pretty average and the large glass of rose wine was £5.50 but nothing special. We will definitely go back to try this again. We had a wonderful walk after lunch down the lane opposite where the beautiful village pond is awash with ducks and geese. Awaiting you is a bench in the shade uinder the tree.....Highly Recommended. There is also a house opposite the pub with a stand outside which sells fresh vegetables, plants and the best preserves and chutneys you have ever tasted all at great prices. Came home with a jar of pickled onions, a jar of red onion chutney and 3 salvia plants.

The menu isn't extensive, but included a reasonable selection of pub-style food. We tried the home-made burger in a bun which was excellent and an up-market fish fingers sandwich which was OK. Both came with home-made chips which were nice. Unusually for a lunch time we decided to try the suites because they looked rather nice: we shared a sticky-toffee pudding with custard, which was very good. They have a normal selection of draft beers and spirits, and a small private car park. Definitely worth a look, we'll be back.

The current owners have however done a fantastic job transforming what once used to be a reasonably run down pub selling drinks only into a great little gastro pub. The place is small and cozy with all sorts of little nooks and crannies but it has been sympathetically modernised, has a small selection of Tap drinks, and has regularly changing guest ale. The proprietors are very accommodating and take great care in delivering a suitable meal when I visited with a guest who is a celiac.
