Outside the restaurant offers a lovely scenic view of a wooded area. This also means that the pub is super for having a quick bite to eat off their reasonably priced menu, before heading onto a countryside walk into the woods for an afternoon. Aside from the nature outside, inside the building offers a warm, mature and characteristic atmosphere which would be well suited for all couples, business meals, families, or the occasional visit with your grandparents for a Sunday lunch. I would certainly recommend for others to visit this pub restaurant.

Main coarses are about £11.50, which I consider fantastic value. If you compare this to other pubs where we have paid £8.95 and had a couple of slices of fatty meat and hard nearly uncooked veg, I would rather pay the little extra and have a superior meal in excellent surrounds, try it for yourself, but remeber to book as it is very popular, must be the good food

This is a quaint restaurant located in a rural area of greater London. It's a beautiful drive along…read morenarrow, hedge-lined roads once you leave the motor carriageways. The restaurant has limited parking, so many people park alongside the road. Every time I have visited the Bricklayers Arms, the restaurant has been quite busy. On weekends, it's VERY busy. The food is good. The menu is typical English fare. Due to the busyness of the restaurant, the service isn't great at times. It can be a little slow but it's always been friendly. I like this restaurant! It's one of my favorite restaurants in the greater London area. I recommend it.

We are here last night and had a thoroughly good time. Lovely country pub with top quality food…read more The staff were very good. Smiling, welcoming and attentive, but not in your face. We (2 of us) had 3 courses each, 2 sides and 3 alcohol drinks for £100 which is good going around here. For starters we had the crab terrine with smoked paprika aioli (special) and the king scallops with swordfish and cream sauce. These were the best dishes of the evening. Light and sumptuous! For mains we had fillet steak and the rib eye! Both very nice, and good portions. We finished off with a sticky toffee pudding and apricot sorbet! All of this washed down with a couple of glasses of rose prosecco and a well priced glass of Chenin Blanc. We would have rated 5 stars if it weren't for the steak being a bit overdone and the scallops being more queenie than king but this didn't detract from a lovely meal and evening. We'll be back!

If you're looking for a good pub, it doesn't get much better than this…read more Lovingly called simply "The Axe" by locals, this pub is in a different league to most other rural pubs. I'll explain why and try to be concise. The cuisine is exceptional. There's a good selection of quality drinks. The service is excellent. The atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming -- the sort of place where complete strangers tend to strike-up conversation. The location is perfect, overlooking the Village Green, with a big beer garden behind, and a vast playing field behind that. It's a lovely village, nestled in the gently-undulating farming landscape of rural north-east Herts -- no wonder Braughing was recently awarded the prestigious "Village of the Year" accolade. The pub's menu always includes the best of local produce, from locally-reared beef to local pork sausages, alongside popular country pub dishes. (Braughing village is famous for, among other things, the delicious local sausages, and this is a good place to sample them.) Did I mention the pies? A different pie every day it seems, and you won't find better pies than these. I don't make a statement like that lightly.

The landlord, Rohan, really cares about his pub. The drinks selection is excellent and varied. I enjoy going there for the cider as there is always Addlestones and Stowford Press, plus a guest cider. The real ales are also changed regularly, the current selection escapes me, plus there are the regular lagers and wines. The menu is a fairly simple selection of burgers, waffles, and the traditional fare of steaks, chicken, and salads. The burgers (handmade on the premises) are to die for! The Crown burger is my favourite containing stilton and bacon, and comes with hand made chunky chips. Yummy! For music buffs there are also music nights with bands of all types. Blues, jazz, rock, you name it there will be a night coming up for you. This is a real community pub which really should be visited.
