Claire is a really good host. COVID controls are really good and the food (vegan option) was excellent. Would highly recommend supporting this pub.

The Compasses restaurant offers a mixed bag of experiences, with some diners enjoying the warm welcome and extensive menu options, while others noted issues like bland food and lack of atmosphere. Despite some shortcomings, many guests appreciated the friendly staff and good service. The newly renovated pub provided a comfortable setting for a relaxing meal with friends, although some dishes were hit or miss. With a cozy beer garden and attentive service, The Compasses in Holbrook may be worth a visit for those seeking a casual dining experience in a charming village setting.
