Waggon & Horses

Took the family out for lunch as it is a regular thing we do to keep the pub/restaurants going as these are struggling in the current climate. The service was fantastic—welcoming and very professional, especially from the lady behind the bar. The menu looked great with plenty of options to choose from. Three of us ended up ordering the same dish: the garlic cream chicken and one child meal sausages and chips. Our meals arrived fairly quickly, within about 30 minutes (we were the first customers in on 28/11/25). Portion size was good but We were a little surprised to see the Chicken and sauce served separately in a small dish on a board, but thought nothing of it and began to eat. The wedges/chips were delicious, but the chicken was very tough—as if it had been over-boiled or microwaved. The flavour and texture reminded us of a microwave meal. We ate what we could, but my daughter had to leave half of hers, saying it didn’t taste right. Then my wife mentioned the same. I realised it was the chicken as I thought it was simply overdone. Within the hour, my daughter fell ill, followed by my wife, and then myself. None of us have eaten since, and we’re still unwell as I write this review. It’s a real shame because everything else was good. The location and parking were perfect, and the hospitality was spot-on. Unfortunately, the cooking was a major disappointment. We spent £60 only to end up ill, so personally I wouldn’t recommend eating here—but if you’re just looking for a quick pint, it’s probably fine.

Can not give any stars because the carvery for my husband and myself (OAP) was disgusting the yorkshire was burnt the roast potatoes was that hard you could not cut it the Cabbage I think that was what it was sloppy with hard pieces in the middle the roast beef two of the tiniest piecesthaymust have had it for days.My daughter and myself went to the bar to pay and if that was the landlord hewas very rude he was talking to a customer Not Serving and he just ignored us. I can give five stars to the girl that served us she was the only waitress and the only one working .Never Again

Had Sunday lunch and went back 2 days later, the food was good wholesome fare and reasonably priced. The staff were really friendly and couldn’t do enough for us, the landlady even kept the cook back to get us a meal even though it was the kitchens half day. Will definitely be visiting again before we leave, if you are looking for good food and great company this is the place.

Worst meal I have ever had, I ordered pea & ham soup it arrived like mush, so thick, you could have stood a spoon up in it, tasteless and cold, this was returned. Main course was even worse, Rag Pudding, suet in places hard as a rock, potato wedges, full of black bits, pale and undercooked, mushy peas were ok, thats the only thing that was. Should have been obvious really as we walked in, Saturday night, the place was empty, only us eating. Such a shame, seemed a nice pub, service was great, very polite and friendly, so no complaint there, but will never return.

We went in here for a family meal earlier and very impressed, choice of drinks very good, the food we ordered was really good, freshly cooked , piping hot and chips/ fish etc lovely and crispy, I had the wagon burger which was excellent , the ladies (staff) were very friendly and attentive and couldn’t help enough, we will certainly return again, happy customers, thankyou
