The Waggon at Halam in Newark and Sherwood

Lovely Sunday lunch friendly staff 😃

Enjoyed a lovely meal here. Would recommend. Friendly welcoming staff, great beer and lovely pub food.

a fabulous lunch.great food and service with very pleasant team of people.menu is superb .will definitely return.many thanks Paul & Steph Hart

Last minute booked a large party for birthday celebrations! Ed was great and quickly organised it for us - thank you! Food was delicious, service excellent! See you soon!

only called for a beer.lovely friendly public house/foodie place.👍👍👍

We returned for our friends 40th wedding anniversary for the bar snacks as they have been amazing in the past unfortunately the food was not as good as it has been before and whilst eating the food I found myself chewing on a big piece of plastic I notified the waitress who apologised and went into the kitchen and informed the kitchen staff, we received no other apology or offer of a complimentary drink for the inconvenience that had been caused

We reserved a table for Sunday lunch, this was perched on bar stools which was very uncomfortable. I had the beef dinner, this was the worst beef I have ever tasted, it was almost impossible to cut and even worse to chew. I complained to the staff who just shrugged their shoulders, I will never return.

So often these days I look at a menu and struggle to find anything that appeals - something a bit different to the offerings that seem to be on every menu in every restaurant up & down the country! Here, I could have chosen several off their rather impressive fixed price lunch menu. Everything we had was very good as was the service.

Called in for a quick drink nice place will call again soon

Very good food at reasonable prices , the menu is good , 2 courses £23 or three for £26. The food was excellent and a very good level of service , there are also a great selection of lagers and ales , will definitely go again

Delicious food really well presented, good service and atmosphere on a Saturday night. We eat in a different local pub every 6 weeks to support local businesses and this is definitely the winner so far out of 9 pubs!

Lovely atmosphere. Food is incredible and well worth the money. Me u changes monthly keeping a nice variation to the business. Floor staff were impeccable and very polite and helpful.

Been recommended to go here and have since been 3 times. Menu changes each month and offers a selection of meals for a set price for 2 or 3 courses. Would highly recommend as every meal we’ve had has been simply delicious and tasty.

Great food in quality and value with set menu offer of either two or three courses. Freshly prepared to order and nicely presented. Nice selection of drinks with creamy draught beers. Staff are friendly and of good appearance and efficient and attentive. Great ambience in the pub with separate dining area, bar eating area and high seating casual dining to two tables by the bar which is my favourite. You can run the risk of being told that they are not accepting any more walk ins some Sunday lunch times so advisable to give them a call... A great independent little pub in a lovely country village setting that I really do recommend.

Food as good as always service brilliant

We always love coming to the Waggon. Tonight’s meal was particularly special. The crab spring roll I had as a starter was delicious and my husband reports that the smoked duck was amazing. The main courses were excellent: rare steak for my husband (perfect) and I had spiced confit duck leg which was so delicious. Thank you so much to the chef Ed and his kitchen team. Also, many thanks to all the staff who were just lovely! The Off The Waggon beer is also flavoursome and always hits the spot! Superb!

Nice place to go for a meal. The choice of dishes is limited, but quality is good I would visit again.

Food was lovely ,and the staff were great definitely going back

Fabulous food, friendly, obliging staff, lovely ambience. This pub provided us with a truly memorable Valentine’s night experience. We have enjoyed many meals at this pub over the years and have never been disappointed.

Absolutely no problems at all excellent

Tried agen after going last yer with family and really enjiyed loved it but bit of wait. Staff nice too so will retjrn set menu good to for money

What a lovely place, greatly improved over the last 5 years since I went last time. We were in a party of six and everyone loved their food. The steaks were all cooked to perfection with no gristle. We will 100% be going back. And to top this off, the staff were great.

Heard good things. I can only say that the service was good, without being overdone. The food is the star, good honest fare, with attention to detail and enough little tweaks to make it stand out. Well done to all concerned.

We called in for just light bar snacks and had amazing chips, sandwiches and olives. The service was great and quick, the 4 stars for food is only because we didn't have a main meal. The main meals did look very good from what we could see in the Parlour.

Lovely greeting on arrival. Seated quickly. Good menu choice. Food was absolutely amazing. Blade of beef hardly needed cutting. Souffle was divine. Staff were all polite, helpful and attentive without being over fussy. Bill was very reasonable, no service charge added (which I prefer) but a good tip left as the staff deserved it. Would recommend and will certainly return.

Visited the waggon at Halam this evening Friday 15th December, amazing service from the get go.The food was unbelievable and we all managed a pudding. GREAT atmosphere and booked for my mothers 80th in march. Well done the waggon

After hearing the great reviews we thought we’d just turn up without booking a table a lovely lady called Jess managed to squeeze us in although they was really busy. We had 2 lovely courses I had the blade of beef and my husband had fish and chips it was delicious. We will be back love from adam and Jill x

A little disappointed after reading such good reviews we ate from the Christmas lunch menu. The veg was a mixture of over and under cooked vegetables.

Chritmas visit & menu, great food, good service, will return to try regular menu in 24.

Fabulous little visit, set menu delicious. Great service and good quality local ales.

Good food, but check your bill! We dined with friends and they had to query being charged for an extra pint of Neck oil. Unfortunately I did not take my glasses so missed being charged an extra £7.30 for a pint of lager shandy. (4.80 fosters and 2.50 for lemonade) if I had of seen the first one being charged at that price, I would have drank water. I would have returned here but issues like this leave a sour taste in your mouth and make you think twice in the future.

Tried The Waggon for the first time & to be honest the food was excellent. We had Blade of Beef with veg and it was really tasty. We attended the Christmas Market on Sunday and decided to try the food in the pub. Highly recommend The Waggon,the staff were very polite and helpful.Definitley going again

Nice pub food, good sized portions.

Had a great meal. Great menue lots of choice of loverly meals. Service very good as well. Logburner added to the ambience warm and welcoming as soon as you step through the door.

I have been going to this place for a few years now and I can't fault it one bit. I have been with family to celebrate birthdays. As well as popping in for a meal by myself. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and you are well looked after by the staff. The food is 10/10 every meal I have tried I can not fault. It is in a nice area also and in summer has a beautiful outside dining area. I highly recommend this place and I am planning on going today as the new menu for the month has begun. The prices are brilliant too! Well done team waggon!

Brought my family for a meal Wednesday evening, was welcomed by friendly staff and seated at a lovely cosy table next to a log fire. Food was delicious, we opted for the two course and one of us managed a desert , overall great hospitality and well done to the chefs we will be back.

Beautiful, cosy and inviting country pub. Picturesque setting. Excellent service and food. Highly professional, lovely and welcoming team that work there. Can't recommend highly enough.

Been here a few times and each time it just gets better. Great service and excellent food. I will more than definetly be back.

Pub is first class. Food here is amazing, New menu every month, locally sourced food and home cooked food - Ed and his team are brilliant. Front of house is amazing, Jess and the team really look after you, whether you're outside in a lovely pub garden or the most pet friendly environment inside. The pub is a must for a visit!

Visited today for lunch follow a recommendation from friends. I had the Twice Baked Soufflé. I have had this dish at two top London restaurants including The Savoy and I can honestly say that The Waggon’s Soufflé was infinitely superior to anything I have ever tasted before. Superb food, super service and a wonderful ambience throughout.

I booked a table for our wedding anniversary and informed them my wife was in a wheelchair I was told access wouldn't be a problem when we arrived we couldn't get her in and staff totally not interested in help sort a ramp

Good range of dishes to choose from - we had 3 courses for £24 which we felt was excellent value for money and we enjoyed all the dishes we had. Service was good and we will definitely be visiting again soon

A cosy and friendly village pub with delicious home made food 😊

Absolutely spoilt our wedding anniversary as I booked a table letting them know my wife is wheelchair bound only to find we could not get in when we got there I no this place is great for food but the staff weren't interested in trying to get us in

Our first visit to have dinner at the Waggon so we didn't know what to expect. We were given a very nice table with plenty of space to accommodate our Labradoodle and not be in any ones way, there was even a small dish of doggie treats on the table! The meal was chosen from a very comprehensive well balanced menu allowing the choice of two or three courses. We all opted to go for two courses. The food was obviously freshly prepared and cooked so it was not served in a hurry which we do not object to. We all had different main courses, all of which were very well presented and most important very tasty, everything was very well cooked reflecting the quality of the kitchen staff. We all had a desert and again very well presented resulting in a lot of empty plates. Overall a very pleasant dining experience and we will definitely be going again. One very slight criticism the music was a little on the loud side.

I came to have a spot of lunch and a drink. The food was absolutely beautiful. The waitress Jessica helped me and shown me the selection of food that was available. She was very cheerful and helpful with me. The food I chose was delicious and it's the start of the new menu for the month. The prices are reasonable and I would definetly come back again! Compliments to the chef. The food is always 10/10.

Fantastic! We used The Waggon for our wedding reception and it was a beautiful setting, with AMAZING food and fabulous staff. We cannot thank the staff enough for making our day as wonderful as it was, they were so accommodating and couldn’t do enough for us. We also had so many lovely comments on how delicious the food was and what a beautiful setting The Waggon was - from vendors and guests! Thank you so much to Ed and his team - what a fabulous place! Chloe & Luke

There's a lovely courtyard sun trap or you can eat inside the pub. We had a roast beef Sunday lunch and a few drinks. Very pleasant. Worth heading over to.

Just home from another fantastic meal - Italian Night tonight. Relaxed atmosphere and great service. Amazing food as always. Already booked for steak frites. Thanks Ed and all your team xxx J&J

Consistently superb. I have eaten here many times over the last couple of years, staff really friendly, great atmosphere, good beers, and hands down the best steak sandwich you will ever find. It’s extraordinary, had it on many occasions, and I would recommend a visit...

Invited by a neighbour we enjoyed lunch at the wagon. I had a ‘club sandwich’ meal. We each agreed that whilst our meals were ok it was not memorable. So no complaints but no back slapping either

Having not been in for a while, we had a wonderful lunch here with friends recently. Drinks and Food were excellent, along with quality service and staff. We will be back again soon :-)

Again excellent meal sorry no pictures was too hungry! Starter of fried Korean fried chicken was absolutely delicious main was sea bass absolutely cooked to perfection. Friendly attentive staff clean and a good atmosphere. Recommend

Fabulous place. I was surprised how busy it was for a Wednesday night but I can see why as it’s so good. A lovely selection of dishes with a primarily fixed price for 2 or 3 courses. Given the quality I would say it’s good...

Friday nights my wife and I and our two married friends enjoy a meal together. We've been to the wagon before but last night, Friday 31/3/24 was worth that extra mention. The wonderful Jess made sure our bottle of red wine (Shiraz) was served at...

Wow! Just eaten at The Wagon and the food was exceptional. Staff were extremely friendly and very attentive. £23 for three top quality meals! Worth every penny and more! Definitely going again ( and again)

Dog friendly welcoming pub. Food is excellent and set price menu.

Great food and lovely friendly staff 😊

If you win the lottery then this is the place to go. Nice bar lovely inside and outside. The menu is very expensive and limited. Not a lot of choice. No traditional foods like roasts.

Friendly staff and good food, nothing at all to complain about. Good value and lovely and clean. Choice of local beers to! Worth a visit

We were well served today by Waggon staff including Jess. The food was as we have come to expect; well sourced (Stoppards local meat- always good) well prepared and excellently cooked and presented. It’s a warm and friendly pub and the service brilliant. The menu...
