Waggon and Horses

This is an attractive, cosy, relaxed and friendly pub. We’ve been there a number of times either for a few drinks or for a meal and we’ve enjoyed each visit enormously.
The staff including the landlord are welcoming and polite, and on the occasions we’ve been there have always been plenty of staff on duty. I don’t drink beer so I can’t comment on the quality but I do drink wine and there is a good selection available here, at reasonable prices. There is some seating in the bar area although the dining area is bigger, and the place can get quite noisy as the place is popular with locals.
The food is very good, there is always a wide range of menu dishes and specials to choose from. The portion sizes have beaten me in the past but the staff are happy to wrap up leftovers in foil for you to take home.
As you’d expect from a pub this good, the bathrooms are nicely done and clean.
There is a car park which is a little on the tight side but there’s a bus stop right outside if you are fairly local and don’t want to drive.
There is a pleasant terrace at the front which is lovely in the summer although the road can be quite busy — however it’s the outlook is very green so if you can ignore the traffic it’s a good spot to while away a few sunny hours!
Writing this review has reminded me how much we like the place so a visit will be on the cards soon: o)

I’ve been to the going Wagon and Horses for many years now and each time I go, I go I know I can look forward to a well cooked meal with good service is a cosy atmosphere, such is the consistency of the Wagon.
The pub itself it’s not really a ‘drinking’ pub these days, although it is a popular spot for people to stop have lunch. The cooked sandwiches (baguettes, Ciabatta etc) are hearty and delicious.
Due to the location many people do choose to drive as its near the top of long and deceptively steep hill, but there is good parking so you should be fine most times if you do drive.
The interior is a cosy layout of dark wood tables dotted around the room in a somewhat un-​uniform manner, soft lighting and an unmistakeable smell of tasty food often wafting from the kitchen on arrival.
This also one of those pubs where the landlord is really hands on, he’s always working the floor, looking after the customers and making sure the service is working as it should. This is reflected in the experience that you receive, attentive staff, plates moved quickly, drinks often offered and always service with a smile.
The prices are about average for a pub /​restaurant such as this, although the menu is not huge, what this does mean is that everything you order is cooked fresh to order.
There is always a good amount of people and a good amount of back ground chatter, we were there on a Thursday night, when at 9:30 a pub quiz starting taking place, it seemed a bit late to be starting a quiz but as it was free to have a go we decided to try our luck before fatigue and failure with the sporting questions forced us to make our exit.
I would highly recommend a meal at the Wagon and Horses whether it is Sunday lunch, a tasty sandwich on a Saturday afternoon or a scrummy evening meal — then this place hits the spot every time!
