The Waggon And Horses - Newton in Powys

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.

Another great night with lovely people.

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.

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

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...

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 ☺️

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Booked Sunday lunch in advance as we knew the Wagon is popular, and we were certainly not disappointed, all courses were great, as was the service and atmosphere. Certainly worth the trip up from West Sussex and Leicestershire. See you again soon 😁😁

Great food and service.Lovely local people!

Mum-in-law treated my husband and I to Sunday lunch yesterday, our first visit to Tge Waggon and Horses. The staff were friendly and relaxed, the dining room was comfortable, and it was lovely to be seated by an open door, looking out into the pleasant garden area. Two of us chose the crab tart, which was quite delicious, and my husband had the soufflé, which he also said was very good indeed. Then, h and his mum decided on the lamb shanks while I had the roast beef. The shanks were large and meltingly tender, with very little of the usual debris left afterwards, while my beef was tender and tasty. Gravy was excellent. Two large, crispy road potatoes, on each plate, then a mixture of carrots, french beans, sweet little peas and some well cooked turnip were served separately, all well cooked.A really lovely meal, thank you for the hard work, and we will be back!

Totally excellent meal. Wonderful restaurant and outside eating area. Food is excellent and so flavourful. Staff are brilliant, efficient and friendly. A great place to eat.

Amazing food and service!!! Reserved a table but forgot to mention one person was vegan, turned up and as everything was so fresh they were able to make something that was so good we will try and re-create! If in the area again we will definitely head back!

We came after a recommendation and were not disappointed. Food was amazing, staff very friendly, locals all chatty and excellent value for money as quality was fab! Cannot recommend enough if you prefer quality food.

Absolutely fantastic, probably one of the best roast dinners I've had

Well.. what a pleasant surprise.. unassuming pub in a residential setting but oh my what delicious food… cheese soufflé and pork belly are absolute winners…💪

I've taken my mum and dad here on and off for a few years and it's always exceptional. The staff are fabulous and very attentive and there's seldom an empty glass on the table.

Perfect place for a Lovely lazy Sunday Lunch. 4 stars thoroughly deserved.

Really great food, been here a few times when visiting family and it always sets the bar really high. Top marks and a great addition to the local food scene

Some expensive and extensive work done in the beer garden for the punters who fancy a good pint. Limited cask but kept extremely well. Table booking went well (18 booked, plenty more accommodated within COVID regs). Table service was good, especially considering there is also a quality restaurant (aroma from the kitchen was so good). Good evening in uncertain times for a "leaving party."

Excellent food friendly service, I defy anyone not to enjoy themselves there

Food is second to none I can’t think of anywhere I have had better food. Menu choice is varied & service is fantastic. Lovely beer garden where you can sit out too. Had the mushrooms & ravioli to start, duck & chicken for mains & sticky toffee pudding & brownie to finish. The food never disappoints. Wish I’d taken photos of the starters & puddings to show - will make sure I do next next time great presentation

Visited for a family meal, service and food was outstanding as always, good choice of menu, beautiful garden to sit and enjoy a quiet drink and owner are happy to help and friendly, highly recommend.

Wonderful meal in a lovely pub. Friendly staff, delicious food at a great price. What more can you ask for. Highly recommended.

Called here today and sat in the garden area. Had lunch and a couple of drinks. The service was second to non, very friendly and efficient young ladies. Food was delicious...highly recommend

As always a good evening. once the Covid Pandemic is over, it will be back to excellent!

This without doubt the best Sunday lunch I have ever had! The meat was beautiful and the mash, omg, there are no words. Excellent value for money. Would definitely recommended

An excellent meal, with advice on how to re-warm when home. A huge helping, I've had to put the dessert aside to go with dinner tonight! Well done.

Had an amazing dinner here and was able to rake our dog. Would highly recommend as the food was fantastic and the owners so friendly and welcoming. This is an absolute gem of a find.

We had an amazing 3 course dinner which was£20 per head. The food was really tasty and the produce was definitely sourced with quality in mind. The staff we extremely attentive and very friendly . wouldn't hesitate to go back. Outside area also stunning under a marquet. Sadly we weren't local so couldn't stay longer for a tipple out the back . A must if you are in the area

Delicious food, excellent service and a lovely beer garden. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, my husband had steak with peppercorn sauce, I tried both and it was delicious, my daughter had children’s chicken nuggets, it was a generous portion and clearly home made which is lovely to see, I had the spinach and ricotta ravioli in a tomato sauce, again I really liked it and I was surprised and pleased to have some vegetables with it too. We felt a lot of love had gone into the food with little garnishes to chocolate brownie which made it more special. The beer garden had a little play area which my daughter enjoyed playing in and the service was excellent, not rushed but thoughtful with them bringing a smaller knife and fork for my daughter, bringing 3 spoons so we could share our pudding. We had a lovely time and will go again when in the area.

First time back since the restrictions have been lifted. All social distancing rules are in place. Food was delicious. Everything is made from scratch and real value for money. Had the chorizo garlic mushrooms & fish scotch eggs for starters. Duck & half roast chicken for mains - everything cooked to perfection. For puddings we had chocolate brownie & sticky toffee pudding - I have had sticky toffee pudding in many places & none is ever as good as this. Can’t wait to go back again.

We wanted a 'safe' place to eat lunch with a friend, with outside seating. Not much choice in Newtown - but we stumbled on a winner. The main courses were delicious - and included nicely presented vegetables. The dessert menu didn't disappoint. Thank you for our welcome and a thoroughly enjoyable meal.

Great customer service, very clean, can't wait yo go back.

We were travelling through Wales on the motorbikes, looking for a place to eat and found this place on Tripadvisor. Very glad we did as the food was delicious! Two of us had the steak and the other lamb rump- very well cooked and presented and the flavours were spot on. Dessert however was even better! We all had the sticky toffee pudding and if we could’ve licked the bowls we would’ve done! Great service, lovely location and a very nice beer garden (where we sat under the marquee). If we ever visit again then we will definitely visit again!
