The Axe in Uttlesford

Great atmosphere and lovely hosts Deb and Carl. Dave organises great entertainment on weekends. Quiz night, karaoke and disco.

Best pub in Walden by far! Excellent choice of beers and snacks. Always a friendly welcome and service from behind the bar. It's also great to see young and old pub-goers

Lovely family pub. Enjoyed our afternoon here watching the football and playing pool and darts.

Good, safe family pub during the day, brilliant atmosphere and music in the evenings with friendly entertaining staff. Competitive prices and lots of fun !

What a terrible place..Landlady was so rude and miserable... no manners or any idea of customer service... beer and food awful...stay away and warn everyone you know.

What a lovely pub. Beautiful garden and car park for patrons. High recommend!

An amazing old fashioned pub with pool table, dart board and juke box just a short walk from Saffron Walden Common. We went for New Year's Eve, when many other local pubs were closed. No entrance fee and the drinks were the usual price, not hiked up like other pubs we've been to for NYE. They even put on a free buffet! A fabulous little pub, let down by the fact there's only one ladies loo. Returned in February for a drink with friends. Great atmosphere, even without the celebratory new year and live music. The resident dog is a sweetheart who greets patrons enthusiastically in the hope they will play a very specific game with him. So lovely to find a dog friendly place to spend the evening.

Lovely little pub in Saffron walden that actually has pool table and good selection of well priced drinks. The land lady deb is a lovely lady too

We used this pub for my brothers wake so the booking was done by his partner. Great choice as they did us proud, with both the buffet and service throughout our time there. A big thank to Debs and her staff ,you have a great pub. I hope that Saffron Waldren also knows it as it's a gem. Nearly forgot the dog TJ who can forget him.

Lovely time ....Debbie See soon ☺️☺️🌹

One of the friendliest pubs you will ever go into, the Landlady and the staff are brilliant and so helpful

Landlady was very pleasant and inviting.. Pores a lovely pint of giness on draft.

Friendly, cosy and lovely local atmosphere.

This is a lovely little pub, the people are welcoming and friendly. The resident dog is brilliant and on Sunday they even put snacks out on the side. They've got a play area outside for when it's warmer and plenty of seating.

Best pub in all of Saffron Walden. The weatherspoons is filled with millennial liberals and beta males. Weatherspoons cannot compete.

Great local pub good atmosphere great bar staff

Relaxed, friendly atmosphere with pub games and sports on TV. Two real ales and traditional ciders, along with big brand lagers etc.

Left my headphones in there last week and they tracked me down to make sure they was returned to me. Quality people and place would highly recommend.

The best pub in saffron walden great landlady Sunday roast potatoes brilliant definitely worth a visit.

Lovely owner and service with a smile! Lovely atmosphere and 5 star cleaning highly recommended 👌 Beautiful beer garden

Nice little community pub, staff we're very friendly.

Whilst passing through Saffron Walden I went in for a pint of cider and was given complementary roast potatoes and a cheese platter. The pub and it's owners were exceedingly welcoming and as a result I would highly recommend!

Came in to have a couple drinks with friends. Great atmosphere- especially with sports. Alright prices. TJ - the pub dog is adorable and is very friendly. Staff are always friendly and quick on drink orders. Great music. Even the bathrooms are great - the mens has deodorant and the women's have all sanitary products and are well kept and smell amazing. You don't get the same service and atmosphere in cheaper alternatives. Amazing pub, would highly recommend.

Great staff, easy service and nothing too much trouble for them. They have nailed the covid procedures so no worries on that side either. Can't wait to go back

Very clean and excellent service

The dog makes it all worthwhile in this local English pub. Good pool table in the back. Friendly staff.

Nice place to chill and take friends

Relaxing atmosphere great drinking pub darts and pool available Need to check it out at the weekend

Very good well worth 5 stars very clean and good people

Amazing land lady five star service good food, many laughs xx

Evening with a friend. Typical English pub, decent assortment of beers and ciders. The owner and the boy are kind, the clientele is exactly as I expected: from the old men in a corner who calmly drink their beer, to the middle-aged people who drink happily, some even a little too cheerful but everything works "color".

Lovely bar. My aunt took us there while we were on holiday. The atmosphere was open and friendly. I'll visit again next time I'm in town.

Best pub in Saffron Walden. Great selection of beers and ales at the bar. Jukebox , pool table and darts. Everything you need in a pub. Don't walk into town and go here , great atmosphere.

Probably the best place to socialise and enjoy yourself. Family and dog friendly .

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere 👍

Went to a wake there today and only two staff on it was an absolute joke. Couldn't get served so left.

Lovely family friendly pub, brilliant atmosphere enjoy visiting

Went for a quick drink last week on my own in my new local pub. Thought it would be a friendly place but the landlord was a grumpy chap who seemed more keen on chatting to his regulars about his prowess with real ales. The beer I had was good, but not spectacular. The atmosphere was OK for the time of week, and there were quite a few customers in the place. The real downside for me was the smell of dog on the seat I was sitting on. It seemed that the pub dog had the run of the place, which is fine by me but not to everyones taste. Perhaps it sleeps on the furniture at night or something but it was a bit whiffy. Try some air fresheners or upholstery spray. Might give my custom to the Old English Gentleman next week as thecwalkninto town will do me good.

Amazing place!! If visiting saffron Walden you have to experience it!!

Simpatia, accoglienza, puntualità, cibo buono, servito con il massimo dello stile inglese, sapori che inebriano il palato, tutto semplicmente ottimo

The Axe can vary from being a comfortable convenient pub where friends can go for a drink and a chat. There's usually a good range of beers and ciders. At the other extreme Friday nights can be dominated by loud music and noisy young men who seem incapable of having a couple of drinks and talking; instead they shout at their friends as if they were across the road , rather than a few inches away. This is a pity,because as individuals they are usually polite. The staff at the pub are attentive and friendly, coping cheerfully in busy periods.

The Axe changed hands a few months ago, and the new Licencees have transformed the place. The public bar is light and airy, everything’s clean and redecorated; but the key feature of the Axe is the lovely garden, plenty of outside space, with planters, trees and floral hanging baskets. On top of this, is the warm welcome you’ll receive. Well done Jeff and Debs on a complete transformation! You’ve put The Axe back on the map.

We visited the axe it has been done up 2 a high standard. The place is very clean and the couple who are running the pub are very friendly it’s worth a visit

Always friendly staff here. Would go the extra mile to please the customer. A nice pub with everything you need.

My visite to this pub was quite nice actually. Staff are always helpful and quite nice actually. :) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Good atmosphere lively pub nice and friendly bar staff plenty choice of beers have good music nights even the big landlord seemed to enjoy himself

Went last Friday and as usual friendly service and a fully stocked fridge 😀always enjoy our visits their.

I have heard nice things about The Axe but sadly me and my husband didn't think it was anything to shout about. The bar staff were no where to be seen for the first 10 minutes we was there, and then then finally appeared they were quite rude. The place looks nice, but could do with a scrub down.

The Axe is established as a community pub that caters for all age groups and very friendly atmosphere

Gut gelegen. Neben der Parterre ausgedehntes Kellergewölbe mit vielen Sitzplätzen. Hatte Steak bestellt. War für das, was man sonst gewöhnlich in England als Steak vorgesetzt bekommt sehr gut, ja geradezu exzellent. Der Pudding zum Nachtisch ist auch sehr gut gewesen. Alles in allem eine gute Adresse in historischer Umgebung. 

A good pub to visit good atmosphere back room that has pool table in it. Has dart board aswell. A large pub garden and has the sun on it all afternoon. The choice of beer, cider and spirits are vast. The landlord is friendly and all the staff are polite. Will be using it as my local

El hacha ofrece una gran variedad de cervezas, ninguno de los cuales son atendidos adecuadamente.

mouthwatering steaks and fish etc - everything spot on A regular eating place for us for special occasions

This Pub has turned a corner, Greene King wanted to close it , but come and see the tills ringing now GO!!!! Good for you Chris!

This has been my local for over 30 years. It went from thriving, to poorly patronised after the longterm tenant retired. It is now a freehouse with a new owner. It has gone from having two beers, from £3.05 a pint, to having six, starting at £2.50 per pint. Guest beers are a regular feature. Lagers and ciders are also available. It's popularity is rising.

The Easter Beer Festival was well attended - and rightly so, with three brews from Hop & Soul Brewery, and an exquisite Excalibur. H&S only £2.50 per pint. That should rival Wetherspoons !
