Very disappointed. Visited at lunchtime New Years Eve. Started off well, we were shown to our table straight away, given menus & our drinks order taken. Waitress who took our order was very friendly. Waited a reasonable amount of time for our starters. The arancini was very good, but the calamari was slightly over-cooked and tough. At almost £7.00, I expected a bit better. After that, it went downhill. Ordered the"moo & blue". So overcooked the cheese had completely evaporated. The wagyu beefburger was completely ruined. Bits of it were inedible. The chips were sparse, and a lot of little bits, not full chips. Again, at the price of £13.95 I expected better. A lot better. We ordered another round of drinks & had to ask twice for them to arrive. We were asked by the waitress if we wanted any sauces, we asked for vinegar & by the time it arrived we'd virtally finished the meal. We then waited so long for the bill, we ended up going to the bar, only to find all the staff standing in a huddle having a good old chat! We had high hopes for this pub when we heard about the refurb & re-opening, it would have been a crying shame to have lost another pub, but the quality of the food & the service is just not good enough for the prices being charged. In all fairness, it was New Years Eve, and the restaurant gradually filled up after our arrival, but that is no excuse for bad cooking & poor service. Next time, we'll stick to Dine India in the village. Excellent quality & service even when it's full. Extremely disappointed, could be so much better.

Thanks 👍🏻 amazing service and food still top 5* Update 15.09.24: We were pleasantly surprised by this place. Having tried several local pubs, we're delighted to have such a good one in our village! We hadn't had the chance to try the food here until today, but we and our friends and family really enjoyed it. The service was exceptional! Special thanks to Jack. The food was delicious and fresh. The burger patty was especially tasty, and the chicken breast strips weren't the frozen, breaded kind of homemade and tender. Thank you for the great service! We'll definitely be back. Just popped in for a Shandy - i wanted to share it with my wife 😂 - she didn't like it 😭 so next time something else, maybe a cider 👍 The place is nice clean and cosy ( was really warm inside).

Came to the Axe & Square with my partner for lunch today and had a lovely experience. We both had the small chicken strips meal from the lighter lunch menu and were both comfortably full despite the smaller portion. The chicken was well flavoured and crispy and the chips were good. The waitress who served us was lovely and happy to oblige our fussy eating and requests whilst remaining jovial and keeping a good sense of humour. I had the warm chocolate fondant and it tasted great but sadly it was stone cold on arrival, it wasn’t until half way through after checking the menu that I realised it was supposed to be warm however by that point it was easier to just finish it than mention it to the waitress. My partners cookie dough was also not the warmest, a little overcooked but was tasty nonetheless. Car park was free and the restaurant was easily accessible and allergies were asked about on request so I’d say that they’re pretty inclusive for all customers needs. For two courses with drinks and two people our meal came to just under £35 so value for money is good. Overall, the service was great and our mains were incredible but the puddings let the experience down due to issues with temperature.

The way this pub has been renovated is great, and it seems to be well maintained. The food and drinks were good (one of the drinks is pictured and was fab for an alcohol free option). The menu seemed to be to have a few samey items on, such as a chicken strips starter was available as a main (slightly differing descriptions though, but the main was essentially a bigger version of the starter with accompaniments), and chilli jam seems to be fashionable. We hadn't pre-ordered, which may have helped us, as the service was quite slow, and we were forgotten about a couple of times when offered menus. We were sat in a small area of the restaurant part, and unfortunately a teenage group were seated in the same area that were quite loud, up and down every few mins, and their conversations weren't really appropriate for the young children we had in our group to overhear. If possible, we would ask to be seated in the larger part of the pub on another visit. The other group also opened the windows when they arrived, which wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't for smokers standing directly outside. Whilst I understand eating out is a lot more of a luxury than it used to be, given the overall atmosphere and location, feedback would be that the drink prices could do with lowering. We weren't able to park in the car park, but could park for free as it was after 6pm in the small council car park located just behind on the one way system.

Met up with friends here last night as a halfway point for all of us and had a really good meal. Food was served hot and presented well, staff were friendly and accommodating, we weren’t rushed at all and the waiting staff were efficient without being overzealous. The pints ordered were nice and ‘clean’, recommendation for the steaks (we had a few different varieties at our tables) but the black and blue sirloin was perfect! The waffle desert was amazing too and the coffees went down well. Large portions (not a criticism) and would definitely recommend for the easy atmosphere to enjoy a meal with friends!

Hubby had the 2 for £18 lunch time deal, Tuxford Chicken followed by Rhubarb & Custard crumble with an extra jug of custard, enough for two, and like his mum, a chef, made years ago. Charlotte had Steak and Ale pie with fresh veg, mash and a jug of gravy, followed by Trillionaire Tart with Clotted Cream Ice Cream. Great friendly service, the food was hot and absolutely delicious.

Well here’s a little review for you. In entering we were greeted welcomed and shown to our table. Very polite. The atmosphere was lovely and warm and clean. The menu is very extensive and suits all tastes. We didn’t have a starter. I had a sirloin steak and jayne had the home made faggots. The meal came out in a good time. Hot and presented well. See the pictures. The steak was very very tasty and cooked to a medium rare choice and had a beautiful char grilled taste to it. The pepper sauce was very creamy rich and tasty. Chips enough and tasty came slightly salted and a side of blush toms and salad. Very filling indeed. The faggots came on a bed of mash and gravy and was enjoyed also. We decided on trying desert well again cannot fault I had Apple and Rhubarb crumble. Proper crumble not oats and a jug of fresh custard. Jayne had the sticky toffee pudding again very nice Jayne nearly picked the plate up and licked it clean lol Great value for Money at just under £50 quid for two inc Beer. Would I go again. You bet I will. If you’re looking for a change to your usual place give this place a go.

Mum and Hubby had the turkey, never tasted turkey so full of flavour and so moist too. Good portion of veg and proper Yorkshire puddings (only downside was they had run out of pigs in blankets and we ate at 2pm). Plenty of staff so service was spot on. Good choice of deserts too.

The service was very friendly, everything was served quickly, and the food was just superb. Delicious chicken and leek pie, chunky chips, and the onion rings on the side are always the best. Even the thick gravy was the best we've had! We love this chain of pubs and the Axe & Square has always been the nicest for a meal for 2-4 people with plenty of space between the tables to give the feeling of a private evening.

We visited for my husbands birthday lunch on Saturday 16h March 2024. Having known this place as an old fashioned pub in the 1980s, we had not been here for at least 15 years if not more. The menu is extensive, and our son-in-law being nut allergic was given an extra menu handbook to indicate allergens in various dishes. The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful, and chatty as well which is always nice :) We each had starter, main and dessert, and were all very full at the end! My husband had ordered a side of chips with the mains for us all to share but we really did not need it, each dish was perfectly put together and didn't need more. Our daughter had the surf & turf and her steak was cooked exactly as she asked. We will certainly return soon, and definitely recommend this place.

We went back again to have a Sunday lunch after having a very good previous experience. The portions are generous and the Vegetarian Sunday dinner is the best I’ve had in years. The only surprise was after ordering the cheesecake. It arrived covered in cream so completely disguised. After tasting it, it appeared to be a sponge cake with icing on the top. No biscuit base as advertised. A couple of other people tasted it at the table and confirmed this was a sponge cake - much like the type you would get at a kids party. When we brought this up with the manager he was very defensive, he did not handle it well and it started to turn into an argument. He admitted it had no biscuit base but that it was still a cheese cake but just one that we had never had before. We mentioned being baffled to the lady at the bar and she replied “it is not a cheesecake” If we had received real cheesecake and the food was hotter this would be 5 stars 🌟

The Axe & Square has been refurbished. The new owners have done a good job and it is now a nice pub / restaurant. The menu is varied and the prices are reasonable.

We had a fantastic evening, staff and food were excellent. We have to give a massive thank you to Reece......who went above and beyond! We really wanted a cheeseboard.....we asked, and Reece delivered! (I'd just like to say a cheeseboard isn't available, but I definitely think it's something that should be! Maybe a specials board)????

Serves Old Peculiar. That deserves 5 stars on it's own. The Guiness tasted great too, which means they really look after their lines.

I love Jenno's. The food and drinks are delicious (they do a great hot chocolate) and the service is always good. I love the atmosphere as it always feels welcoming and relaxed. I'm a little addicted.
