July 2024 - The Axe now has cask cider. They had Sandford Orchards Devon Scrumpy on handpump on 21/07/24. It is listed on the board under the two cask ales and all three handpumps now have pump clips which seem to be used more in Grace Land pubs recently since the Duke of St Albans opened. They still have keg Sandford Orchards Devon Red on keg and that is listed on the main board with all the keg beers.
Grace Land, operator of the Earl of Essex acquired what was Jan’s Bar to take its portfolio to five sites. The lease was acquired from a private vendor for an undisclosed sum, the freeholder being the Wellington Pub Company. Reopened as Axe in May 2017 with a central bar, an impressive beer list of 3 on cask regularly changing (website has up to date details), 19 on keg and lots of bottles - a very impressive list. No clips but paper details slotted into board on the wall. A welcome change and return although the pub has no signage!
Before Jan's Bar it was The Cricketers a Watney Coombe Reid Pub (Sign still outside)
The kitchen is serving food from 3pm Monday to Thursday, from noon on Friday and Saturday, and roast on Sunday from noon till late afternoon (or until it’s sold out).
