Waagon & Horses in Newark and Sherwood

Not very impressed at all ,very clicky experience with regulars being served before others .we have visited here before but only for drinks and quiet . We decided to eat on our second visit and waited over 70 minutes for the ploughman’s board surly you just put on to the board ? Should not take this long , And a pizza . Whilst waiting a family of 4 arrived and they ordered and got their food before us ! Then another family arrived and got their meal before us ! And the ladies serving spoke to them in a manner as knowing them !!! Again Waiting at the bar for service 2 customers served before us even though we was clearing seen to be waiting . the food was nice when we eventually got it but please serve other customers when they are ordering before regulars as this experience is not acceptable at all .also advertised with bread and hot no bread !!

sometimes go in the afternoons, usualy Sundays. At christmas they offered us free mince pies which was a nice touch. Staff are friendly. More vegan options to eat would be an improvement.

Friendly local pub. Good customer service. Decent beer garden. Quaint location. Very welcoming. Would definitely return.

We were recommended this place last year as a nice place to stop for food whilst boating along the Trent. We’d been to all the other pubs in the area up and down the Trent but had not tried this yet. Well we are glad we did! We had a lovely Sunday lunch here with starters and deserts, all courses were very nice and cooked well. The price is also very reasonable. The staff were attentive and friendly. We will be coming back to try the pizzas and the the beer garden when the weather warms up. We will also use this place to bring family & friends when we have our trips out on the boat! See you soon! 😃

What a great find- I needed to find somewhere for A family meal- nine of us and kind of a late booking for that number- was offered two tables in the nook- which was fab and to be honest I’d have taken anything!! ;0) The staff were all lovely and the food great- great portions and nothing left at all - delicious!! We’ll be back!!

We popped here for a late lunch with our puppy while we were staying in Bleasby for a long weekend. The food was fantastic value and very enjoyable. All the staff were so friendly and doted on the dog (which she loved…).

Came here with friends and the three dogs. Lovely pub in a beautiful village location. Friendly staff with a lovely welcoming atmosphere. Great pub food and drinks. Couldn't fault the place. 5 stars from me.

This pub is a hidden gem. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was exellent and tasty with generous portions.

Fantastic food, generous portions and hot. Staff were friendly and helpful. Blue monkey gins, lots of flavours and blue monkey ale.

Visited pub with parents and daughter on Bank Holiday Monday. Almost all of menu available (a couple of minor items, they'd run out of). Service was quick , choice of vegetarian and gluten free food available (none actually designated GF but there are options with some thought, aware of this as I'm coeliac!!). Sat outside in sun, plenty of space, food arrived first, left to own devices to enjoy it, no hurrying and immediate clearing away by staff. Excellent chips!!! Really pleasant atmosphere and very reasonable prices indeed. Well worth a relaxed visit. Very impressed indeed.

Went in on Sunday, service was a bit slow to start with but once everything got going we had a lovely time. The Sunday menu is roasts and a risotto, would like a couple of other options for example fish, but if you want a Sunday roast, then it’s spot on! Plenty of well prepared vegetables with the mains, but what stood out was the pate, it was exceptional, wasn’t going to have a starter but got tempted! They also have a super English sparkling wine, well worth the £45.00 for the bottle as knocked the spots off the veuve cliquot at £5 more! It’s definitely worth a visit, would have loved the option of a cheese board for desert, but a lovely friendly local pub with delicious food

We don't mind pie in a bowl; however we don't like a stew with very little meat and loads of gravy half covered with a thin slice of frozen puff pastry. Therefore the chips were soggy and the mountain of frozen peas unappetising. Some fresh veg in a side dish would have been much nicer. Obviously the catering staff couldn't be bothered. The young ladies serving were pleasant but we all know how embarrassing it is to complain when with friends. The best way is not to revisit. How disappointing, thought we had found a better place when we first visited, but there is no consistency.

Visit this place on regular basis now, beer excellent, food great. Staff are great. What else is there to say? about a lovely pub just off the main road. Visit and enjoy.

Lovely pub well situated in a quiet lane. My dad and mum used to bring us here at weekends when my siblings and I were little, away from the hustle and bustle of Notttingham. It has hardly changed. My friend and I received a delightful welcome and served lovely food.lovely food,

Only popped in for lunch at the last minute, staff were very friendly, menu limited and food was nothing exciting.

Amazing pub, with fab food and great service. They do a pizza night on Mondays and Fridays where they fire up a wood oven in the garden and make the most amazing pizza - including gluten free pizza!

We had a family dinner, 20 of us, and children! Nothing was too much trouble, food was lovely, staff great as always 😁 Thanks to all x

This was one of the best Christmas meals our works outing has had. We had a whole room to ourselves, the staff were very friendly and attentive, the quality of the Christmas menu was exceptional. I don't think there was one person who was unhappy with any of the 3 courses on offer. I hope we will be back here next year. As for the price- it may have been expensive or it may not, I don't know as the boss was paying!

Went for Christmas lunch with friends. This is a nice little pub with friendly staff. But they do not cater - even with advance warning for lactose intolerance, vegans allergies. All the food was cooked in butter.

Popped in for lunch when passing,they love dogs anywhere in the pub.food very good and the ale.made welcome, and will definitely be going back.large car park at rear.

Busy, but still got a table for three, always a good sign of a busy place when a couple of mains sold out, so we all had Roast Beef.

A great pub in a lovely village! Would recommend this place for a pint, family meal or catch up with friends- the landlord was really pleasant and helpful and the locals were similar! Worth a visit! Dogs are welcome with water bowls

Visited the Wagon and Horses whilst stopping at Hazelford Lock on our boat.

Lovely seating area , good service and great foodstaff very polite 😊 Clean and tidy inside and out. Dog friendly. Basket of shawls in the foyer if you get chilly. Well done 👍

We were staying in the campsite close by. As a family, we enjoyed our Sunday evening at the Wagon and Horses quiz night. The pub is very family friendly and also dog friendly. We returned on Monday evening for dinner and had homemade pizzas. Katie (barmaid /waitress/greenfly catcher) was absolutely amazing. She welcomed us into the bar and was very helpful throughout. We Would definitely visit the pub again. Good food, good atmosphere, happy, friendly staff!!!

The food was great and portion sizes really big. We were shown to our pre booked table and given a menu but then after waiting 15 minutes for The guy to come back, I gave up and stood at the bar to place our food order. I then waited around 10 minutes whilst others waiting were being served their drinks . I appreciated that they were obviously short staffed and am generally a patient person but it would have been nice to have been acknowledged whilst waiting. However once our order was placed the wait time was average

I went for lunch with my husband and friends. The food was lovely, I had fish and chips, there was plenty of bread and large portions, I was struggling towards the end, but it was too nice to leave.If you like seafood they do a lovely platter that my friend had, also a vegetarian version. One of the best things about the waggon and horses is their beer, Blue Monkey and delicious!! If you don’t like beer there are plenty of other beverages to choose from, however I encourage you to try the beer. The staff were lovely, very attentive without being overbearing. Only one small gripe, the desserts were a bit sparse, and more winters than suitable for a lovely Spring day, so we went to a tearoom down the road. On the whole a lovely experience...I will definitely be going back.

Had a surprise birthday meal here, person booking was unsure how many would turn up so there were more than expected but they manged to accommadate us all. the service overall was good for such a big party. Ran out of few food items but this was understandable. Staff friendly attentive. Prices fair for pub grub. Brewery tap so plenty of good ale available. will defo visit again

Have been here for food and drinks on different occasions and always impressed with the service! Lovely selection of food and drink at a good price, with a lovely village pub atmosphere. Excellent!

This was our second Sunday lunch at the Waggon & Horses, and on both occasions the food has been amazing as well as the staff. This is a must for Sunday lunch and worth a drive out to experience a beautiful country pub with a roaring fire.

Went with family including children. Made very welcome. Food excellent child portions are very generous. Nice outdoor area. Food prices very reasonable

This is a beautiful little pub located in Bleasby, a charming village on the outskirts of Nottinghamshire. From the first time we called in for a quick drink we fell in love with the lovely, friendly staff, the setting, and the great food and choice of wines. with over 26 choices of Gin to choose from it was a tough call! we booked a table for our son's birthday for the whole family to come along to. the food was delicious, staff so helpful, attentive and friendly this is a new go to for us to unwind and relax. fabulous!

Last time we went to wagon and horses was about a year ago for Sunday lunch and it was delicious so gave it another go to day for Sunday lunch and again it was delicious friendly welcome and lovely food thank you

Came here last night for the first time with a group of friends. We sat outside for most of the time, despite the British weather. Its a lovely pub in a great location. We received a warm welcome from staff and locals alike and the Blue Monkey beers were fantastic....all of them!! One of those country pubs which has kept up with changing times. The pork pie was lovely too!! I'll definitely be back

Fuimos a la hora del almuerzo el 13 de julio para reunirse con amigos. Excelente pastel de carne con cerveza, demasiado llenos para el postre, así que tendrá que volver para el tratamiento completo. El personal era muy amable y no podía hacer lo suficiente para que sin duda volveremos para probar otros platos en el menú de mi amigo había asado de cerdo, que decía que era increíble.

Visitó regularmente más de unos meses, una cerveza de la Cervecería Blue Monkey. Almorzamos hace un par de semanas y estaba muy bueno, que era fuente de compartir dos placas y más que suficientes, seguido de bocadillos y patatas fritas de camote, excelente relación calidad-precio. El personal era muy acogedor y servicial.

Nos vinimos para un amigo despedida y nos fuimos al pub para el almuerzo del domingo, la comida era fantástica, la mejor comida de domingo y la gente era increíble, muy servicial. . . Gracias xx.

Absolutamente fabuloso domingo, muchas gracias. Todo el personal era muy agradable y servicial. Muy acogedor, todos nos lo pasamos bien. Mis disculpas a la pareja de ancianos que tenían que desplazarse desde el restaurante al lado pub como estábamos un poco animado. 😳

Visitamos el almuerzo para el almuerzo. Excelente comida, excelente servicio y una experiencia agradable. Recomiendo este pub. Teníamos pescado y patatas fritas y ale tarta. Ambos estuvieron deliciosos. Sin duda volveremos. En un entorno tan precioso.

The Waggon always had decent food but recently its got even better!We had a Sunday lunch in there and it was excellent! The drinks and the service just went to add to the experience. Can't recommend highly enough

Following a recommendation, we booked a table at the Waggon & Horses in Bleasby and arrived later in the afternoon for Sunday lunch and were delighted with the food, choice, price and friendly service of all the meals we ordered. Two of our party had the soup to start, which was a meal in itself, very hot and very tasty too, served with lots of slices of bread and butter. For the main meal two of us ordered the lamb and two ordered the pork, they all came served with a Yorkshire pudding, the pork with some very tasty crackling too. The food was hot, well presented and generous portions, with a good selection of vegetables to help yourself to. Only one desert was ordered (everyone was too full up) - the fruit crumble with custard - again served hot, a good portion and very tasty too.Well recommended and yes, we will return!

Visited for lunch on a Saturday. It's an old pub but very clean and bright inside. There are a couple of small steps when moving from the front door to the snug and then to the loo, but we managed. The service was very friendly and the drinks supplied quickly, but the food took ages to arrive. Food service, of a reduced menu, starts at 12:30 on a Saturday. When it came, the food was very good: a very tasty Beef and Blue Monkey Ale Casserole (excellent intense gravy) served with mash & veg and Scampi & Chips (a small portion of chips as requested). It all got eaten.

We love this pub, it is always welcoming with well kept beers and good food.Blue Monkey beers as well.

Visited here for a lunch timet bar meal and was really impressed. The staff were very friendly and approachable with a good sense of humour. The food was choices were typical pub classics and very good. Although we did have to wait a long time, but this was just unfortunate as we timed our visit when the restaurant was full and in mid-service. We will definitely return again soon.

Had the beef last week and it was perfect, chose the pork this week - maybe even better, although our friends said the the beef this week was as good as they've ever had and they are both from farming stock, always nervous when we recommend somewhere to them for a roast dinner so that's definitely a compliment. Service second to none. Well done everyone at the wonderful Waggon.

I visited the wagon and horses a few weeks ago and ordered the gammon and chips. I've never seen such a small meal, it was more like the size of a snack. Nine chips and a piece of gammon less than five inches long and not even two inches wide and not very think and then made up with some salad garnish, the only thing the correct size was the Pine apple. For a village country pub I felt the size of the meal was very poor. For the amount of people in the restaurant the service was very slow. I wont be going to this pub again for anything.

Went for Sunday lunch today and had a fantastic meal. Very quick service and the food was excellent. We'll definitely be back, thanks!

I recently had my Birthday at the Waggon over a Sunday Lunch, for a party of 14, couldn't ask for a more accommodating venue, attentive service and for such a large party, the food all arrived at once and was enjoyed by everybody.We have eaten here on numerous occasions now and every visit I have tried something different off the menu and it has always been of the highest quality, the whole family is always welcome, we really couldn't ask for more from a local village pub.Top marks to all the team.

The owners couldn't do enough for our party of 15. Lovely pub with great food and atmosphere. We had a lovely evening.

Everytime I have visited the chef seems to be off which means either no food or pizzas being served. This is the only pub in bleasby so if you are counting on eating there and then the chef is off there is nowhere else to go. Good for drinks with friendly staff to serve you.

We visited the Waggon and Horses yesterday evening for my Mother's birthday following the good reviews it had received on tripadvisor. Having booked a table, we arrived and informed the waitress who dismissively gestured in the direction of our table from behind the bar and told us 'you're over there at the back'. Assuming she was just busy we proceeded to ask about the possibility of booking a taxi home. The waitress was unfortunately again very unhelpful. We ignored this and carried on until we were presented with our menus. Despite there only being one couple in the restaurant alongside us we were handed two menus between five people and told that they did not have any more. At this point we decided that three bad omens were enough and we would rather go elsewhere where we would hopefully be more valued. I have never left a restaurant/pub before eating and while we may have just had a bad experience I highly doubt that we will be returning. Considering the good reviews we had high expectations but even moderate expectations would not have been met.

Very impressed nice welcome lovely dining room we both had roast pork with all the trimmings which was very nice then we had apple biscuit crumble and custard it was delicious but it beat us as couldn't finish it all !! all in all lovely lunch will visit again

We went for a family for a lovely Sunday afternoon. The food and drink there is just so nice, I'll come back for a nice Sunday lunch or dinner :)

Really enjoyed lunch. Staff very attentive and professional. Great chef who was willing to accommodate my gluten ,dairy and meat free diet, resulting in a delicious, generous and individual meal . Excellent quality. service and ambiance.We shall spread the word and return!

Great pub with an excellent selection of real ales. Ate here for the first time at the end of April with some friends and the good was very good and at a reasonable price. Our friends have two kids and they were very welcome here. Really personal, family feel at the Waggon.

Lovely country pub offering great food. Good menu with plenty of choice. Really enjoyed evening here with friends having a good catch up.

The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Food is fantastic and so is the beer. Can't recommend enough. Also started doing takeaway pizzas which are well priced and very very good.

What a great find! Visited with my elderly parents for a midweek lunch. Vegetarian "Brie, mushroom, spinach and walnut Wellington" was absolutely delicious. Dad thoroughly enjoyed the very generous Steak and Blue monkey pie and Mum polished off her "half portion" of Gammon with great gusto. Made to feel most welcome by the staff.

I went here on Sunday and had the tomato and mascarpone soup for starters, chicken in white wine sauce for main and vanilla Panna cotta for pudding and all of it was absolutely gorgeous. Also the staff made us feel very welcome and the service was excellent.

We had lunch here this weekend and it was fantastic. We had the steak and Blue Monkey ale pie which was probably one of the best pies I have ever had and the fish and chips were lovely. There was a huge selection of gins to choose from and you can even pick different tonics. The Blue Monkey beers are great and I am promised there will always be at least two available. The staff were really friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We will definitely be returning again soon!

Really enjoyed our lunch of sirloin steak with peppercorn sauce, chips and salad. Lovely fresh food, friendly atmosphere and great service - cosy country pub - new owners made a great impression on us - well worth a visit

An impromptu meal with friends, and a wonderful surprise. Lovely hosts, attentive service and welcoming atmosphere. Oh, and, before I forget. Great food. The fish was superb. And expertly cooked. The beer was great too. Brewed by the local Blue Monkey Brewery, the perfect accompaniment.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Sunday lunch, 3 course meal, fantastic tomato and mascapone soup with a lovely warm roll,The roast beef melted in your mouth, plenty of roast potatoes and parsnips, Yorkshire pudding with stuffing, plenty of vegetables and mashed potatoes, then a choice of deserts, very impressed with the helpful staffI will be calling again,

Super Lunch with excellent Roast Beef, beautifully cooked. The Bottle of "Bat's Blood" (I'll not be quickly forgiven for that!) was excellent as well as was the BG Sips Bitter. Well don all round!

Having booked for 4persons we were crowded in to the extent staff and other guests could not pass. The meal was not as ordered vegetables over cooked meat tasteless. Dishes caked with spilt cheese sauce burnt on. Meals returned uneaten. Staff agreed and no charge made. I will not be returning.

we have eaten about six times here and not been disappointed, however the food is largely as would be expected for a pub diner. No one dish stands out the fish and chips are good but its probably out of the freezer.

This is a good village pub, but unfortunately there wasn't a cook when we were in town and so no food was available. We did thoroughly enjoy a few drinks, there, however. The outdoor seating is perfect when the summer nights allow you to sit outside!

If you are visiting Nottingham/Southwell/Newark take time to try the food at 'The Waggon' in the lovely village of Bleasby. The food is all home made and plenty of it may I add. The atmosphere is so charming and the staff are so friendly. The food is good, fresh, traditional and hearty at a very reasonable price. I just managed to find room for pud! which was equally wonderful. Definitely going to go along for the Sunday Lunch which we will very much look forward to (again hearty portions). What more can you ask for in a traditional village setting than good food, good prices, good choice and friendly staff. A winner here.
