Dear Customers, I am writing to inform you of the changes which have happened to the Axe and Compass in recent weeks. The Axe and Compass has been taken over by new management bringing in, a brand new menu with fresh and exciting new dishes all from fresh local produce. The dishes are all cooked to order with new specials being added weekly. All dishes can be modified to your liking just by asking a member of staff when ordering. Food is served all day 12-9pm with Sundays finishing at 8pm. The menu on Sunday changes depending on what type of meat we have available from the butcher for that weekend. A fresh, new style of ...  Read the complete review

i rectally went for a meal at the axe and compass, i knew it had not long been re opened but that was no excuse for the standard of food and service they had given me. i went with my husband and my 2 year old daughter. On first arrival the place looked very dull and i noticed that the place was not as clean as it could be. the floor had dirt over it through out the pub and under some tables was food that looked like it had been there for some days. we found a table to sit at and looked at the menu, we could not find a child's menu around us so we asked one of the waitress and they said they would bring one over one. we waited for around 10 minutes and they brought ...  Read the complete review

22 years ago we visited the restaurant to break up a long journey. The restaurant was Egon Ronay awarded and the meal was excellent. We were in the same area and I have never forgotten the quality of the meal all those years ago. My husband reserved a table (there was no need as it transpired!). The pub had not changed decor wise in those years it was like being in a time warp. The awards had long gone. I sat at the first table at which the upholstered seating was very wet. It smelled of beer on my hand and I quickly moved. Another customer had the same experience. The waitress a good time later felt the seat and smelled her hand looked at me and said it was ...  Read the complete review

I went to the Axe & Compass today for lunch with a friend. I must say that I had some doubts about ordering food as I was walking through and noticed the amount of food that people had left on their plates that didn't look very appetising at all. I spent 20 minutes ordering food and drinks, time I would rather have spent catching up with my friend who was sitting outside wondering where I had got to! My doubts about the food were confirmed, the ham on one of my sandwiches was green and the chips looked absolutely disgusting! They looked like they had been re-cooked a number of times and were a very strange colour! When I complained the chap just said 'sorry ...  Read the complete review

I visited The Axe and Compass Inn in Wolvey last Sunday for a meal with some family friends. There were six adults and one infant. We arrived at around 1pm and met with our friends in the garden. The garden here is very large, with picnic style benches dotted around, not too close to one another. This was ideal for me as I really do not like going for something to eat and hearing the conversation on the next table, I tend to not talk about anything personal in those situations because I know other people will be able to hear me too. There was no danger of that here. Plus the weather was lovely so we didn't want to be cooped up inside while the weather was so warm ...  Read the complete review
