A fine example of the quality of pubs that can be found in Essex is the winner of the 'Best Traditional Pub' Award at the Essex Food & Drinks Awards 2008, The Axe & Compasses in Aythorpe Roding, Dunmow.

Whether enjoying a home cooked meal, attending one of the numerous special events or just sampling one of the many guest ales, you can relax and enjoy stunning views of the Essex countryside at the Grade 2 listed 17th Century pub. Run by a dedicated Husband and Wife team, whether a regular or first time visitor, you can be sure of a warm welcome.

Approximately 20 minutes from Chelmsford and with garden areas catering for adults and children alike, The Axe & Compasses is without doubt one of the finest Pubs in Essex.
