We've had some very good nights in here. It's our favourite pub in Stanton. When the last landlord…read moreran it it was really relaxed and I'm sure the new landlord will be the same. The new people have already made a big change. Outside they have taken away the beer garden completely and extended the car park. Next to the pub they've also had the patio/ smokers area made bigger. Having the beer garden taken away is a shame as they used to have a bouncy castle up in the summer and it was the only pub you could go as a family. Inside there is a kind of chill out room with a few comfy chairs and tables. Round into the bar which is quite thin and tends to get a bit packed. They do have another room down the end where they sometimes show sports and this is where you can retreat to get away from the live music which can be quite deafening. They do do food, which I didn't think was great but that was with the old people. It's a nice place in the centre of the village.

Really nice little country pub that really looks after you…read more We like to go as a family occasionally as they are really good to the kids. They do do kids stuff but you can have smaller versions of the adults dinners if they prefer something different to their usual choice of junk food on offer. Parking is a little scary with small kids as they are on the main road through Sharnford and you have to park over the road in the village hall car park. The menu is small but vared and they have personal names for the food named after the locals like Johns Shepherds Pie etc. Even Bill 'Greengrass' Maynard has a named dish though I can't remember what it is. There is a bar area with a TV for the footy, some tables near the bar and a bigger room for dining. Also, last time I passed thety'd added a small marquee on the side though I don't know if this is permanent or just an added function tent. There is a reasonable sized beer garden for summer al frescoe dining or for the dirty unsociable smokers. Really worth a look if you're passing.

It's a little pub in the middle of an estate with a nice pub garden. Oh but the food, the food was excellent. We first sat outside enjoying some local bears then heading into the restaurant side later. They had what I would call traditional pub food menu then some extras. I had their 10oz rump steak and it was cooked to perfection, coupled with their stilton cheese source it was perfection. I would highly recommend this place, great food, good prices, very friendly staff and no rush atmosphere. After the meal we sat there chatting and finished up with a good cup of coffee, never felt rushed. Would go again in a heartbeat.

Be that as it may it was anything but. the bar is segrated from the dining area which is a nice touch and the staff were friendly and accomidating.The food took a reassuringly long time to get to the table but boy was it worth the wait! We couldnt fault it ,it was of the highest standard,presentation and taste. Dont be put off by the location- this place is a class act, the food is sublime..We will be back again, and again and again..(and the sloe gin is amazing)....M+S.

It's not changed an awful lot in all these years. They have a well stocked bar and the bar meals are very nice. I brought my girlfriend here on our first date and we're still together 15 years later - though I can't say that's any thing to do with the Axe & Compass. We came here in the summer and sat in the garden to eat. We kicked a ball about and the kids played on the play area which is looking a little dated. I wish it was situated in the middle of my village instead of 5 miles away, I would definately use it more often.

The landlord and landlady phil & dawn have transformed this historic public house into a stunning wam and friendly establishment and they work hard to make everyone feel comfortable. The atmosphere is quite relaxed with a mature crowd ( no yobbo's ) and there is always some old fellow singing and playing something in the eveing's. Also there is a pool table with a pretty good pub team and also regular darts and domino's matches. Very worth a visit :)

There is nothing pretentious about this pub. Being a Freehouse it has avoided brewery/leisure group themed makeovers and corporate interferers. As old buildings go it has a long and interesting history without "Ye olde English" fakery. A word of warning though; the queens is next to a florist and opposite a funeral directors,so, fall asleep in the bar at your peril !!

The last time we went it was with two other friends, so a table for four, and we were the first in at about 7pm. The restaurant was quiet as it was mid week but the service was attentive and the food delicious. It was a little cold when we first got in but the staff soon upped the heating at our request and we were able to enjoy our meal in warmth. We had the set three course meal which with wine was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Hercules to anyone in the area wanting a special meal at an average price!

Terrible food - 'Bouncy/fatty/stringy meat', luke warm at best, school meals mash (lumpy and salty). Awful seating/tables - 4 of us squashed in a corner of a room smaller than my bathroom. Not even reasonable cost. Do yourself a favour and avoid at all costs, I will never darken the doorstep of this place again.
