The Waggon And Horses - Newton in Powys

Food and service great. Doggy friendly in the bar area as well. Only down is no car park area but otherwise great.

Lovely home cooked food with freat service.

Went for a meal whilst meeting up with family in the area. Food was superb as was service. Will definitely return when back in the area. From front just looks like a standard pub, but with an amazingly good restaurant. Absolute gem.

Just finished Sunday lunch. My wife and I. What lovely food and service. Even had extra Yorkshire puds. All home cooked to perfection

We were looking for a perfect roast dinner- didn’t disappoint. Amazing staff, food and the most sumptuous lamb shank my husband has ever tasted! We will be back next visit to Newtown. (Dog friendly too) 🐾

Very popular place always have to book nice staff full every Sunday.. ...but..I can't rave about lunch. Not seasoned...bit bland for me....

A great place to eat in Newtown. One of the best steaks I have eaten in a pub. the chef is obviously very talented and cares about serving good food

Always a lovely meal at the Wagon and Horses, Lamb cooked to perfection, the Cod loin in spicy mild curry sauce was beautiful.

We visited as a family of four and can’t recommend this place enough. We were staying nearby and were looking for somewhere to eat, this place did not disappoint. The fillet steak was exceptional, has to be the best fillet we’ve ever eaten and the desserts were just as good. They catered for the small children and even they said the food was yummy. The staff were fantastic and it was a lovely, warm friendly reception and has to be one of the highlights of our holiday. Thank you.

Absolutely amazing. The food was just simply amazing, fresh, hot and came out quickly.. But the service was on another level.. We were served by Becky who was just simply brilliant. She was unbelievably polite, friendly and professional. She went above and beyond to make our visit one to remember. We will definitely return

I’m not normally one for leaving reviews, however the food and service was outstanding, felt very welcomed and nothing was too much trouble. If you ever visit Newtown, make sure you pay a visit as you won’t be disappointed. I dont normally do three courses, but on this occasion I couldn’t resist. Well done Becky and all the team at Wagon and Horses! If I’m ever back in town I’ll be back!

From Cardiff to Culinary Delight: Our Serendipitous Visit to The Waggon and Horses” Our journey from Cardiff was as random as it gets. Armed with nothing but a dropped pin on the map, we wound our way through picturesque valleys until we arrived in Newtown. Starving and clueless, we stumbled upon The Waggon and Horses after a quick Google search. A mere 10-minute walk from the town center, across a quaint bridge and into a housing estate, we hadn’t booked or called ahead. We simply committed to the adventure. As we approached, doubts crept in. Two bars—one on the left, one on the right—greeted us. I wondered if we’d made a mistake. But the lovely lady at the entrance assured us they had seats. Never judge a place by its exterior! We both ordered Garlic Mushrooms and Braised Lamb. The flavors were exquisite—the meat, the veggies, and that heavenly mashed potato. I’d take a tub of it home any day, along with the lamb jus. The bill came to around £60 (thank you, Mrs.). Despite our lack of reservation, they accommodated us graciously. The Waggon and Horses, nestled in Newtown, is a hidden gem. I’m not entirely sure what the town is famous for—perhaps that mountain-climbing dog? But our pin-drop randomness led us to a delightful experience.

A really nice family pub and restaurant. We didn't eat but sat in the beer garden. Really friendly and very attentive team. Definitely coming back and looking forward to eating here next time.

Jolly good dinner. Interesting menu, nicely prepared.

What a hidden gem. Absolutely loved this place, the food was incredible, best we’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend. The steaks are cooked to perfection

Everything about this amazing pub was 5* from the moment we walked in. Friendly welcoming atmosphere and dog friendly too. With 2 of their own doggies roaming around, both friendly and well behaved! Was a huge plus for us. A gorgeous garden we choose to sit in the comfy seating pergola area. The food was out of the question incredible. Fresh and even catered off the menu for my son. Certainly deserve there award winning title. We are from Cambridgeshire and this is without a doubt the best pub we have ever been in. Thank you so much for such wonderful and genuine hospitality

We stayed in Newton on our way from Anglesey back to Spain. Food was exceptional and nicely located to where we were staying. Staff were very helpful and friendly and couldn't do enough to help.

I've eaten twice at the waggon this month and on both occasions the food was sublime!!! Oh my gosh... The beef roast... The best roast dinner I've had in years & the desserts are sooo delicious. Yesterday I visited with friends and had the pearl wen sharing starter & cod main... Honestly the best food for miles!! Consistently wonderful.

The Waggon and Horses hosted our family gathering after getting married in Newtown. It was lovely out in the beer garden which was child friendly for all of our kids which meant the adults could sit back and relax. Jackie did a lovely spread of food for us all and made sure we were all having a great time throughout the day. Thanks so much for hosting. It was perfect 🤍

The food was delicious and the staff very accommodating. My partner and I both had the steaks which were very tasty. There was a good selection of beer and had Prosecco myself. Felt like a local area which we both enjoyed coming from London and liked that we were able to have a chat with the owner. The pub area is also great, would recommend having a drink there as great ambience.

Visited today on the off chance as we fancied a roast dinner. Had seen good reviews as well as it being dog friendly. We weren't sure we would get a table but they very kindly found us a spot in the lounge. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and what seemed like alot of locals that were eating there were also lovely. The drinks were great and the food was absolutely delicious. Literally the best Sunday Lunch we have ever had in a pub ! Thank you so much guys for getting us and our 'grumpy' rescue in for the best meal of our weeks holiday. We look forward to returning when next in the area. Highly Recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely afternoon great atmosphere with Lovely people👌.

Beautifully maintained pub. Great beers on tap plus good selection of zero alcohol beers. Ordered burger and my wife ordered scampi - bar menu - all food was excellent and clearly home made even though it was ‘quick’ food. Recommended

Stopped off for a couple of drinks after our dog walk. Great beer garden and very friendly staff. Would recommend highly

Excellent food at a very reasonable price. Friendly welcome and fast and efficient service. It's a culinary hidden gem in Newtown and we will definitely be back again. Thanks!

We were visiting Wales for a staycation, and stayed in a nearby village. We were looking for a nice meal to enjoy whilst away and the Waggon and Horses did not disappoint. We booked here mainly due to other positive reviews, and it surpassed our expectations. The food was incredibly tasty! We would highly recommend the Sticky Toffee Pudding - even if you think you have no room for dessert, you HAVE to try it! The service was also exceptional, very friendly and attentive. We would definitely recommend this restaurant and will return if staying nearby in future.

Excellent food - very good quality and everything to perfection. Starter pasta was perfect, the lamb tasted brilliant and the toffee pudding sauce is to die for. Lovely evening

First visit today. Food was delicious. Service outstanding. Will definitely be back

Went here for Sunday dinner. I had the lamb. Could not fault it. I would book in advance to avoid disappointment.

This place is absolutely fabulous. The Sunday lunch was the best I have ever had . Mothers day and busy busy but the service food wow . Dog friendly. Thank you to all made our day lovely .

Food was excellent , fish cake for starter lamb main with sticky toffee for pudding all cooked perfectly and service was excellent

A very pleasant lunch ,being honest I've knocked off one star on the food score as I was a little bit disappointed with the lack of choices / range on the lunch menu , but it really warrants more than a 4 , if I could I'd rate the food as 4.9 , just a tiny disadvantage with the number of dishes available . The atmosphere was welcoming and friendly , the staff were pleasant , they had 2 gorgeous , extremely well behaved little dogs which some non dog lovers might not like when eating..... but they were impeccably behaved , very cute , and no bother at all . I wanted to smuggle one home with me 😄. The food was delicious , very tasty , well cooked and nicely presented . Will definitely eat there again soon , best food / pleasant atmosphere I have found in Newtown .

Had a great meal, we did not reserve until late and they were good enough to accommodate us. Food was of high quality and presented well. A small criticism would we had to wait a long time between courses, as we were not in a hurry this was not a problem (I believe this was down to a waitress calling in sick).

A charming family run gastro pub set in the middle of Newtown in Wales. The food is outstandingly good, the friendliness of the owners and staff made us feel very welcome. Most of the customers were local I think, and very friendly. The pub and restaurant spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. I overheard the landlady tell another customer that the pub and restaurant had been going 29 years under them, I'm not surprised, there's a reason for it's longevity it think, evidenced below... We visited during our log cabin holiday nearby, for Sunday lunch. I had the seafood platter to start, 'fish fingers' (fresh pieces of fish battered), fresh scampi and whitebait. All deep fried to perfection, juicy, succulent, fresh tasting, absolutely gorgeous with a sense of the sea throughout! The whitebait in particular was crisp on the outside while remaining fleshy underneath, and tasted yummy. It takes real skill to turn out this type of deep fried seafood with such perfection. Served with a small side of fresh salad leaves in a crisp dressing and a fine tartare sauce. First class! Next came the wonderful Welsh lamb shank, big, cooked to tender perfection in a delicious gravy, with incredibly tasty roast potatoes (crisp and seasoned on the outside while fluffy inside), creamy mash, and a mix of carrots/peas/root veg, all cooked to fresh tasting perfection. A rustic dish prepared with a real touch of class, using local ingredients... Absolutely outstanding! My better half had the chocolate brownie and raspberry ice-cream dessert which she says was soft, melty and delicious. The guest bitter was excellent and just as it should be in the glass. The portions are generous, you won't leave hungry. 2 people with 2 courses each, 2 beers, 1 coke and 2 coffees = £54... yup that's right, £54 incl drinks and coffee!!! Eat this quality of food etc in, say, London, you would expect to pay at least 2.5 times as much, probably more, I would say. This place is a real hidden gem, well worth the visit if you are visiting Wales anywhere near Newtown.

Works Christmas Dinner, absolutely delicious. Great atmosphere, plenty of food cooked to perfection.

Great food, great funny, friendly staff.. and this was for a party of 23 .. not one complaint amongst us. It's definitely a great place.

Very good place, nice food, and frendly staff. They not press you to eat fast like the other place.

Cracking place for food, can't fault the food quality. Staff were lovely.

Popular place....service bit slow. Lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Wonderful dinner experience with party of 10. We had booked for dinner on the same day, i.e. a bit last minute and we did not regret this one. Nice concise menu with good choice for both starters and mains. We can’t fault any of the choices of our group. Mushrooms, Brie platter, French onion soup, pasta all went down very very well. Service is very attentive, friendly and with good sense of humour. For mains the braised beef was to die for, the chicken unbelievably nice, the steak spot on and the lamb was perfect. Plenty of sides and veggies so we can’t really find any point of critique. One at the table is gluten intolerant and that didn’t cause any problem and she was very happy with her choices and especially with the taste of her meal. Nice wines on the list, a short list but perfectly balanced. Also desserts went down well. All in all an absolutely quality place for a nice fine dinner. Would go again any time when in the area.

My favourite place to eat.... quality of service and food is amazing. I highly recommend that everyone visits. In a different league to other restaurants I have been to in the area...

Great place to eat, staff very friendly and attentive, all three courses excellent!

Lovely Sunday lunch - nice choices - we had beef and a super Yorkshire. Lots of mean and the veg was beautifully cooked

Lovely place wonderful staff and great food

I cannot rate this place high enough. Lovely friendly staff. Maybe not so much Leo the dog, I think he was only being friendly because he wanted my dinner. Food was gorgeous, clean tables, parking available. Generous staff. Most places brag about winning awards but here? They deserve them. My only gripe? I visited on a long journey back to the midlands so its too far for me to visit as regularly as I'd like.

Lovely meal, great staff and service .

Fabulous meal last night Eight of us eat and everyone said their food was delicious Thank you

Nice evening at a charity event for Cystic Fibrosis. Great fish and steak pie's. Nice atmosphere and music.

Fantastic food,,staff very friendly....

Food was delicious and good portion size. Restaurant was clean and had a very nice atmosphere. Bathrooms impeccable, and smell pleasant. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would DEFINITELY recommend, it’s a real hidden gem.

Very tasty food and very nice and attentive service

We had our 50th wedding anniversary there

Absolutely beautiful food friendly attentive staff it’s a must visit Sunday lunch was superb

Lovely friendly pub, walked to it along the river from town centre. Really welcoming and great food.

Brilliant ,friendly, nothing too much trouble,a must visit.

Great place for food, service,and lovely atmosphere, make you really welcome lovely Sunday lunch , proper food , Staff and owners go out of there way to help in any way possible.

What a find! Arrived here late on Friday evening and the owners couldn't have been more accommodating! Friendly, great food and drink, super garden for kids to play in, the Waggon has it all. We will return for sure if we ever are back in Newtown!

Excellent evening, first visit from us and everything very good..we will definitely go again and very soon. Bonus, easy location!! Thank you 👍👍

The decor is simply too cliché, the service is friendly but overwhelmed, the food is good, the ambience is not contemporary.

I really nice local pub. Great facilities and very welcoming. Dog friendly aswell ☺️

Didn't eat as was fully booked for Easter. Staff were friendly. Local beer OK but only one choice.

Beautiful Sunday roast beef dinner Brilliant service Lovely setting

Delicious food! Lamb was amazing. Nice atmosphere. Its great place like this exists in Newton.

After a 10-mile walk and no particular enthusiasm to go out for a meal, it was a surprisingly wonderful visit to this place. Amazing food and very warm welcome by everyone and especially Leo, made it a perfect evening. Thanks.

Another excellent meal at this favourite local restaurant. Award winning Welsh chef creating top class dishes with fine detail & flavours.

We enjoyed Christmas dinner at a restaurant recommended by our teacher. I ordered salmon as a main dish. It was delicious, so I was disappointed that it lacked volume (lol) He said he was very satisfied with the turkey and beef. The orange chocolate cheesecake for dessert was rich.

What lovely people work here. Popped in on the off chance of a meal. They were fully booked yet managed to squeeze us in. We had a meal which was dammed delicious.

Thank you so much to all the friendly staff, for their surprise for my husband's 50th birthday meal. The restaurant was beautiful with the perfect atmosphere and the food was delicious and cooked to perfection.

Excellent atmosphere and great staff. Food tasty

First class food and First class service thank you very much for a enjoyable evening

fantastic little gem. from the outside it looks like your ordinary village pub but there is a secret garden view restaurant serving high quality food and drinks. friendly staff and fantastically presented and tasty food. highly recommended.

Had dinner with children. Super friendly staff. Tasty, pretty food and lovely garden.

If you are looking for food in Newtown this is the place to go. Great food and drink as well as service.

Excellent beer garden, great food!

Really lovely atmosphere, great service and incredible food. What a special little place!

Great food in a lovely atmosphere. Great service

Friendly and wholesome pub, the barmaid (Sadie) was a delight

Booked last minute for Sunday roast Very accommodating with baby and dog Lovely food :)

Rely nice Sunday lunch. Would highly recommend for dinning.

What a gem loverly food top landlady

We popped in while travelling through Newtown on a rainy, windy day and we were welcomed really warmly, even with 2 children, a baby and a dog 😂. We were set up next to the fireplace to dry off and enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch, which had probably the best mashed potato I've ever had. Enjoyed the main so much we had to have one of each of the desserts and would recommend anyone else to do the same. Lovely people, lovely establishment and lovely food 👍

Booked that day on the suggestion of the staff of the B&B we were staying in. Made it way down from the B&B confirmed our booking and were shown into the bar where we had a drink with some locals. We were taken to our table and ordered quite quickly, food came and it was beautiful. My main was the steak, cooked beautifully. Finished the night with a few whiskeys back in the bar and then walked back to the B&B. Wonderful night. Good food, great service.

Absolutely superb, 7 of us had a wonderful meal last night. We will definitely return, I would recommend to anyone.

Excellent food and service. Restaurant and pub really good.

Spot on food was of a good standard as was the service

4/5 stars. I would give 5 stars if I were to rate purely on the food and staff service. The sunday lunch was fantastic, the menu varied, tasty and well-presented starters, delicious homemade sunday lunch and excellent puddings and coffees. The staff were also friendly and attentive. A Great customer service. The reason -1 star is purely based on the decor. If the restaurant were slightly more elegant/modern looking, the dining experience would have been unbeatable. However, I will certainly dine there again and recommend.

Wonderful Tasty Sunday Lunch xx

Great food and service. Would recommend

Warm welcome, pleasant efficient service, good selection of tasty food nicely presented. We were able to sit out of doors. The prices were very reasonable. - Check which days they're open by contacting via FB Messenger.

A hidden gem. Initially not impressed by location or menu but the first taste of the food soon changed that. Everything was of the highest quality and beautifully cooked. The staff were lovely.

Visited The Waggon for my brother, and new sister in law’s wedding reception on Friday 3 Sept. Lovely welcoming staff, great service and really good food. They coped brilliantly with me as the only vegan guest and provided a delicious three courses. The omnivores ate really well too! They also accommodated my elderly parents with smaller portions as requested. They don’t have vegan options on their menu, but are happy to do a vegan meal if it is booked in advance. My food was lovely, and I’d be very happy to visit and eat there again. Lovely location near the river and canal, and with a beer garden at the back. Next time I visit Newtown, I’ll be back. Oh, and the beer drinkers were very happy with what was on tap too!

Fantastic restaurant with fabulous food. We visited upon recommendation from the owner of Parker’s b&b. Began our evening sat in the very pleasant outside seating area before moving to the restaurant when our meal was ready. Food was cooked to perfection with a good use of fresh ingredients. Varied menu, reasonably priced for the quality of the food. Would highly recommend a visit. Staff could not do enough for us & were extremely friendly. We will definitely return when visiting the area again.

We don't vist Newtown often enough But when we do the waggon is the place to catch up, good food and great beers

We visited this Pub / Restaurant or Restsurant / Pub (yes it is both) on a Thursday evening with our pet dog and requested an outside seat if this was allowed.We were delighted to sit inside a nice garden and under a nicely appointed, decorated and lit canopy / gazebo. We were given a nice welcome and offered table service drinks.The menu choice was fairly limited but offered sufficient options for us including a superb vegetarian option. The food on arrival was absolutely superbly presented and cooked with generous portions and great service inc check backs.We decided to return the following evening as we didn't wish to risk our last evening being a bad choice anywhere else.The second visit was as good if not a little better but only in terms of our choice from the menu.This venue should be proud of its dual Pub / Restaurant classification which it achieves with aplomb.Many have tried and failed but this is truly a fabulous place to eat and drink in a quality and friendly environment.Well done Jackie, a credit to your industry.

On holiday here and 1st visit here, pub/restaurant is really nice! Service and food was excellent. Would definately come again.

We had a fabulous meal with family yesterday afternoon everyone enjoyed the food it was up to the normal excellent standard would strongly recommend

We managed to get a table at the lovely pub. Booked through Facebook. As you walk into the pub you wouldn’t expect the quality of the food to be such a high standard. The food was delicious, staff were friendly and easy to communicate with.

Genuinely the best meal out and great value. Made exceptional provision for a picky teenager and allowed dogs in the lou,nge area. Staff were friendly and kind and looked after us brilliantly. The best place for food for our whole, holiday in Mid , Wales
