Best Gastro Pubs in Bishop's Stortford

The food deserves to be 5 star, this is due to mouthwatering flavours. Well cooked and service was excellent

Always guaranteed a delicious roast, lovely staff.

We were a large party of 14 and the staff could not have been more attentive and helpful. With all the extras we ordered, clearing away and dealing with the variety of drinks orders. All with smiles on their faces. But on top of the great service from the moment we all arrived, the food was excellent! Very large plates full of roast dinners. All the extras of stuffing, gravy jugs and cauliflower cheese and not one part of our order was wrong and everything on the menu available. Once we also came to pay and leave they were still very accommodating and chatty and they made us all feel extremely welcome. Would highly recommend.

The 25 minute journey to the axe and compasses is well worth making. On arrival you are greeted by happy, smiling staff and the food is delicious with an excellent choice from the menu. Recommend the roast beef on a Sunday. For the drivers amongst us there was a good selection of nonalcoholic drinks. Parking is great (no yellow lines).

The staff were so friendly from the moment we arrived and the food was the best pub food we’ve had. We went for the roast beef which included all trimmings and it was so flavourful. For desert we had the apple & rhubarb crumble and sticky toffee pudding. The portion sizes were very generous and again were both full of so much flavour. We will absolutely be booking again.
