Delightful local pub in Hackney, friendly chilled staff. Easy to get a seat indoors or outdoors in the nice shady garden. The food is very tasty and the chips are always piping hot! Tons of beers on tap and if wine is your thing decent selection there too! If you’re in the hood stop by the axe, you won’t regret it!

The roast was not bad. The yorkies were excellent to say the least. The beef was tough and not the greatest of quality. The potatoes were nice and crispy however they were lacking in taste. This could be either cause they were deep fried. Or maybe just vegetable oil was used rather then duck/goose fat. The garvey was OK. Not enough was given. Veggies were standard. Overall it was OK the roast m. The temperature in the pub was really cold. I already had thermals on and a woolen top but was unable to take my jacket off. The service was OK. I did have fruit flies flying around me for the whole lunch which suggests corners are being cut with cleanliness. Overall not that great experience.

Worst roast I’ve had in a long time. Last time I had a roast like that was when I flew with British Airways over Christmas. Staff were nice enough but this food tasted like it was made the day before. Also came out with no gravy…brilliant.

Came here last week and was really impress by the Sunday roast prepared here. I was quite glad the roasted beef were cooked perfectly medium rare and was really loving it! I could take a photo of the dish with beef itself but didn’t get chance to. The Yorkshire puddings was stunning and really loving this. I would recommend people to come here to those planning to visit.

We came in yesterday as a group of 23 for a Christmas party. Tom and George looked after our booking and from organisation through to the meal, they were absolutely amazing. They were super accommodating throughout when various plans changed, nothing was too much trouble. The table was beautiful and our whole group kept saying how great the atmospheres was, how delicious all the food was and how friendly the whole staff were. Thanks so much for a special night! And see you next year.

Big choice of beers that changes every now and then. The Sunday roast are good and the small patio/garden is nice. Good service and nice staff. Less noisy than other pubs on the main road.

Sunday Lunch - yummy. Fabulous rare roast beef, brilliant Yorkshire puds. Belly pork with crackling - melt in the mouth with great crispy crackling, apple sauce tasted homemade and was gorgeous. A side of cauliflower cheese, just right. Downs? The roast potatoes were very hard, beyond crisp. I thought it was my knife but all 6 of us had same problem. Tasty gravy but charging £2 for a small pot of extra gravy we felt a bit stingy. The accompanying carrots and broccoli just a tad undercooked for some. No one wants soggy veg but thick broccoli stems needed just a bit more. Really good horseradish sauce went with the beef. Only one of us (me) could manage a pud. The sticky toffee pudding was so delicious, plenty of toffee sauce and generous scoop of ice cream. Certainly can't fault the portion sizes on the mains or dessert. So £193 for 6 (mains @ £20, pud £6.50, extra for gravy and cauliflower cheese, 2 rounds of diet cokes and 2 pints) I thought very reasonable. The place quickly filled up and my son said that booking is advisable as most Sundays it is full. I think deservedly so. It was overall very good. There is no signage out front to indicate that it was The Axe but google maps took us straight there. Thoroughly enjoyable.

This little pub looks aweful from the outside but is amazing inside. The selection of craft beer is really good. The beer garden is super sweet and really cosy. The best part is the staff, quite young but really pro and caring. I'm a fan of the place now!

Love the Axe. Superb beer range covering a whole host of styles: pales, sours, stouts from mainly independent breweries. They also run two cask lines. It has a great atmosphere too: light and airy by day, cosy and comforting by night. The roasts on Sunday are great too. A great choice for any beer or pub lovers out there.
