| The Waggon & Horses is a thatched pub in a picturesque location near to Avebury. It's on the main A4. So it probably doesn't have to try too hard to secure business. The interior is dark and has a couple of separate areas. There seems to be a focus on food. At the rear on the bank behind the pub is a lovely garden area, which was popular with a group of cyclists on a summer Saturday afternoon. Glasses were building up on most of the tables in the garden, with staff too busy talking at the bar. This is a Wadworth house. So 6X was on, alongside Swordfish & (Misplaced) Optimism, a seasonal beer for the European Championship football competition. The word 'Misplaced' appears to have been added after England's exit! A bonus I wasn't expecting was Old Rosie cider. There is a car park at the rear and another parking area on the opposite side of the A4. blue_scrumpy - 10 Jul 2016 13:26 |
| Now run by Hannah and Ryan and what a difference! They've been here a month and the difference in attitude couldn't be more marked. Didn't eat but listened to comments from the ones who did, it was all very complimentary. Ok so it's only Waddies beer but the world's not perfect. By the way their own brand Stout, Corvus, beats Guinness hands down ! Honeybadger - 3 Oct 2013 08:09 |
| Nice pub and garden, beer kept well. Food menu was fine, the roast was a good plateful but the vegetarian dishes would satisfy a hungry rabbit, (leaves a plentiful, but substance little) and represented poor value. maybe - 23 Jul 2012 09:45 |
| Eaten here a couple of times. First time, my meal was very good but my friend's meal wasn't cooked properly. To their credit, they refunded it and offered to re-do it, though. Second time, really lovely food for both of us. Nice people, too. featherways - 24 Mar 2012 08:44 |
| What a pleasure it is to venture back to the Waggon & Horses, now that the notoriously ill mannered landlady has left for pastures new - hard luck �The Three Magpies�. Tis a warm welcome and a smile that now awaits you from the newly appointed landlady - Becks Rossiter. The Wadworth ale from the wood is very good so too is the food, though I have not eaten there yet but one tends to overhear the satisfied comments from customers as they settle their bill at the bar. I recommend a visit to this quintessentially English, mid 17th century inn, who�s claim to fame includes a mention in Dickens �Pickwick Papers�; ghosts aplenty and its idyllic proximity to the Neolithic Avebury stone circle, West Kennet Long Barrow and the enigmatic Silbury Hill. willows - 15 Sep 2011 09:43 |
