In July 2006, The Axe and Compasses officially opened its garden bar, serving chilled Stella Artois, Carlsberg and Guinness on tap. Including spirits, bottled drinks and snacks. The outside bar has become a great hit with its customers, offering the same service as the public bar with table service and food orders, which can be made. The bar is usually opened on summer days/ evenings and on the weekend period. (If the English weather holds!) The garden over looks the Braughing cricket field. What a better way to enjoy a game of cricket on a sunny afternoon. Alternatively, there is the inside bar. Offering a wider selection of spirits, lagers, real ales and wines. Serving Flowers IPA and two guest ales, which are frequently updated. The taste is essential. That is why at the Axe and Compasses, our staff clean the lines frequently to ensure maximum customer satisfaction. To top it off we were awarded the Beautiful Beer award.
