The Axe

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.

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.
