Reviews of The Compasses Craft bar & Restaurant

J. C.

The food was excellent - the king prawn starter was absolutely amazing. The menu was big with lots of choice and I was happy with all 3 choices I went for. Special mention to the staff who were friendly and attentive too. I would definitely return.

M. J.

Had a delicious meal 2 weeks ago. My first time at The Compasses. The Chicken and Peach salad with crunchy croutons and extra Bacon was amazing. Thank you so much. Will visit again very soon. All the best to Adam and Cloe and their staff. Maggie

D. B.

Good quality and quantity of food, original menu and decent service. The waiting staff are all knowledgeable about drinks and dishes and the place is very dog friendly with free biscuits and water bowls. Highly recommend, it's one of the best pubs in the area. Prices could come down a touch, but meh.

Adam and Chloe are fantastic as are the bar staff. Very nice pub amazingly furnished and very cosy. Amazing food. Highly recommend.

An excellent meal!! My wife and I went for dinner last night, it was excellent! The food was great, and a menu that’s a bit different to anywhere else locally. The staff were great and the social distancing measures were really good - we both felt super safe.

A. C.

Lovely venue, very good service, food good but not brilliant, prices FAR too high

L. J.

First time visit. Very pleasant and welcoming. We were a group of four adults and two young children. Meal was very nice and all requests were catered for. However, and this accounts for the 4 stars, my meal arrived with the gravy all over it! I prefer to choose. My daughter did ask for it to be on the side (for my meal), but this request wasn't met. Other than that, all good.

N. C.

Great food and customer service. Before our visit we found the menu a little pricey. We went to Compasses for dads birthday and were glad we did. Venison steak was a lovely treat. Salads had a lovely dressing. Presentation, food and customer service were all spot on. We will be back!

M. R.

Had a lovely lunch, steak sandwich cooked to perfection and chips were amazing. Can’t wait to go back

Decent gastro style pub. I had the fish and it was nicely cooked.

C. M.

Really nice friendly staff. Lovely place. Will return!

K. G.

Outstanding. The best food I have eaten for a long time. The staff are so polite. Starters are from about £8 . Mains are about £25 . Dessert is about £8. We shared the chateaubriand £55 it was absolutely amazing. Well worth the money. I would recommend trying this place

R. G.

Nice selection of beers. Didn't have lunch but will hopefully be back.

D. B.

Excellent decor, comfortable and nice atmosphere, our table was not too close to others. Nice beer, good food, good service. Menu is a little different, refreshing change. Highly recommend the bone marrow starter, burgers are good and the v cut chips different but excellent. Being picky the burger was a little pink in the middle, were not asked for choice of how well done we wanted it. The chicken burger very slightly on the dry side, but perfectly edible. As said, this is being picky, lovely place and we will be back.

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch so decided to have a family meal, 11 family members on Friday night, early start because of the little ones, food was outstanding, service 1st class would recommend it to anyone we had a fabulous meal defiantly going back well done Adam & your staff xXx

R. L.

The compasses has become our favourite place to go for dinner. The food has always been incredible and the service wonderful, plus the decor and style of The pub is absolutely beautiful. I would recommend it to anyone !

K. H.

Lovely roast dinner, lamb was so tender (wasn’t too sure on saddle of lamb but it was delicious and not overly fatty). Service was attentive and friendly! Would go again

S. Y.

It's okay. They charge a premium price and the service, food and drinks don't quite live up to it. For example, when you order a round of drinks the waiting staff deliver them two drinks at a time - they don't seem to have any trays. Presumably to reduce the number of trips, mixers are all poured completely into the drinks, rather than letting you adjust to personal taste. They don't do this if you buy a drink at the bar. One of the beers we ordered was completely flat, and when we returned it the bar staff didn't really know what to do. The menu is extensive - perhaps too extensive. Everything we ordered was fine, but not remarkable or memorable. It seemed like most things were pre-prepared, rather than made in house on the day. It took a long time to arrive. The venue is really nice, so hopefully it will grow better as everything settles in. Wouldn't avoid it, but won't be rushing back.

We had a really nice Sunday Roast, the staff were nice & friendly in a well decorated & comfortable setting.

Last chance to eat out before lockdown meal. Discovered The Compasses courtesy of some friends and it did not disappoint. Very nice menu with some interesting options for each course. Caters for everyone from confirmed carnivores to vegans. Lots of locally sourced produce. Good food and friendly service in a pleasant environment. We'll be back post lockdown. Businesses like this deserve our support.

S. G.

The food is stunning. I didn't expect to come across such great quality and such an interesting menu so locally.Very thoughtful and attentive staff too. I'll definitely be back. Especially for that smoked duck and fig starter!

Beautifully renovated and under new landlord. Very comfortable leather armchairs. Looking forward to coming back soon to see how the team settle in and how the atmosphere develops. Hoping that the pub develops its own distinct personality.

B. B.

Food was wonderful, lovely atmosphere in the restaurant and the staff were very friendly

J. b.

Some years since my last visit. Now an excellent pub. Comfortable and tables not squeezed in. A good menu and food is very good. Service was first class. It will not be years before my next visit!

E. K.

Went here for meal with friends. Food and service was fabulous. Well definitely come back

S. F.

Staff very helpful in view of the fact that our pre booked table ..for a special birthday..had not been met and no table was available except in the bar area.. As it was by now 8pm we did not want to try to find somewhere else do made the most of it. The manager, did as much as he could though it was not his fault. The food was most acceptable.

m. l.

What a great pub! Great menu, great food lovely ambiance and great service. What’s not to like. So much better than your average pub/restaurant. One of the best in Bedfordshire

P. A.

Went with the extended family, the place was nice; more restaurant than pub, food was good, as was the service. Arguably it was a little pricey for 'lunch', but the same food in the evening I would have said was fairly reasonably priced.

G. D.

Excellent dining, with a slight touch of French flair. Nicely upgraded environment, good service.
