user reviews of the Axe and Cleaver, Dunham Massey

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Not been here for years and managed a visit early afternoon today. At the bar, 3 of the 4 pumps were available - Summer Meadow (Dunham), Greene King IPA, and something by Moorhouse's. I went for the Summer Meadow and some nuts from a jar on a small dish, which set me back the princely sum of £5.57. I am not sure what the breakdown was there but I am going to assume a massive markup on the nuts, which did not even equate to half a normal packet.

On the upside, the Summer Meadow was delicious - light, hoppy and refreshing - and it is good to see a chain pub offering a local ale in addition to the usual big nationals that normally dominate food orientated pubs.

There were two funeral parties booked in (one already there, one due to arrive), so it was pretty busy today. Definitely handy for the crem, being just a mile or so down the road.

Very pleasant modern interior, though the doors to the gents could do with a re-paint.

Probably not somewhere to head to just for a drinking session, but nice to have the option of a decent real ale if you are going for a meal.

Beer choice Youngs, Deuchars, Bombardier - some local beers would have been better. Quality OK and a lot cheaper than the Rope & Anchor for both beer and food, without compromising on comfort

Have been here a few times over the years and visited again a couple of weeks ago.
The building: Still as pleasant as ever. The lager: Well kept: The food: Decent portions and not overpriced. The staff: Superb and very friendly service.
Have never been disappointed coming here and would recommend the pub to anyone. Would be very surprised if there were any complaints.

Does lot of food trade. Had Adnams Broadside available on my visit. Great country setting, large gardens to front and rear.
