Waggon and Horses in Hart

This is what a pub should be like. Great atmosphere, full of village locals and a proper landlord who knows what he is doing. 10/10.

Had lunch at the Waggon. Cheeseburger and chips was excellent. Very tasty and filling. Did not have any today, but Bitcombe bitter on draft. Card payments accepted.

A proper olde English village pub, comprising of 2 separate bars and a fantastic garden for which which summertime cries out for! The hospitality is second to none. We stayed with family and popped into this pub from time to time over the week and have not a bad word to say. Karl and the team provide great service and a good selection of beers and ciders. Unable to comment on food as we unfortunately didn't have the chance to eat here.

Excellent Beer Festival for the Jubilee Celebrations, well attended on Friday as was our day on Saturday. Live Music was entertaining, great weather, marque in rear garden with seats all filled. Beers and Ciders were very well enjoyed. Great Village pub, very few of these left now, always a warm welcome from the Staff, Thank you all, Special thanks to Landlord Kasey and Lee-Anne for your unquestionable hospitality, See you Soon

By far the best and most welcoming pub in the area. Totally unspoilt. Super beer served from the barrel and yesterday I had a very nice Caesar salad to go with the beer. Nice and traditional inside with a lovely walled garden with plenty of cover.

Run by a lovely New Zealander, Casey, we appreciate the work he puts into running this tiny old-fashioned drinking pub (but now with limited lunch options). Long may he continue! Great atmosphere, small garden space at back.

Had a cheeseburger and chips and it was delicious. Real beef 1/4 pounder, salad filling, was really a generous portion. Proper thick cut docker chips. Outstanding. Good range of beers on tap. Had a Butcombe bitter which was lovely. Friendly service and lots of seating in the garden under cover, so COVID safe. This is a well run pub, and the landlord is highly respected in the village.

My wife and I and our newly-adopted dog dropped in to this pub for a light lunch on our travels on Monday 16 August 2021 (our first visit to Hartley Wintney). The welcome from the staff was really friendly, the food delicious and the pub very clean. We thought it was great.

It’s our favourite local pub with a great landlord and friendly staff. Looking forward to our next visit. Can’t wait for quiz night!

Great village boozer, only place to get a Light and Bitter for miles, crystal clear and it tastes even better than it looks., Thanks guys.

Nice pub that made exceptional effort to keep people safe. Tables waited on by young lady who was terrific. Courteous, helpful and welcoming. Would definitely return.

Lovely classic pub style food served at lunchtime...charming garden setting and a friendly team. The evening food specials are a really good touch and nicely enhance the evening experience....

What a lovely surprise. Excellent service .friendly professional staff . All covid requirements in place without being intrusive . Really enjoyed feeling back to the new normal

Traditional pub in the heart of the village. Met some friends for drinks. Good range of real ales including Butcome and Gales HSB. Guinness on draught too. Two bars, public and saloon. Nice roaring fire in the small saloon bar. Always a few local characters in this pub.

You cannot beat a lunch at the Wags. The choice is good and there are always tasty specials. The standard of cooking and presentation is high. Never fails.

We love visiting this pub after a walk along the hight street. Always a warm welcome, a lovely warm fire and different sections of the pub. We really like the small room to the right, sitting by the fire and people watching onto the high street. There is also a really sweet garden to the rear of the pub, its small but very pretty. Very reasonably priced given the area. We've only ever been for drinks so can't comment on the food. The pub is also dog friendly!

Always a great pint, barstaff greet you with a smile, this boozer has its loyal regulars morning noon and night, its a traditional pub with quirks. Not many pubs left now with a wall box that plays music in saloon bars. Happy days

We called at the Waggon and Horses today and were so pleased to see we were in a proper pub we got our drinks in the Public Bar and had fun with the locals and had I think the best pub lunch we have had for years. Honest, good and inexpensive. Well done Waggon and Horses keep the locals happy and maybe call them Sir from time to time.

Traditional pub in the heart of the village of Hartley Wintney. Think old, low timbered bar with a small seating area and large open fire in the public bar and then to the right, another seating area and smaller open fire. There is a large patio garden at the rear that is great in the summer and holds the weekly pub quiz and Summer BBQ events. A firm favourite and the Mars bar vodka is always a winner. Perhaps not on a Sunday night though...

A traditional pub in the truest sense. small snug bar with open fireplace. good beers at a resonable price. a good place for a drink and a chat.

It’s quite hard to find somewhere to eat on the high street in Hook, but we saw the Waggon and Horses and went in. Unfortunately the kitchen had literally just closed for lunch (it closes at 2.30pm) but the lady behind the bar checked with the kitchen and they were happy to cook for us. Lunch was delicious! The chips were amazing, great portion size. There were open fires in both bars (very welcome as it was a bitterly cold day) and the staff were lovely. I would highly recommend this pub.

A real pub in this lovely Hampshire town right in the high street. they serve what must be the best kept John Courage Best bitter to be had anywhere, coupled with a good atmosphere what more could you ask for! (Also has a good garden for those sunny days).

Great evening with friends. Lovely English pub with friendly staff and customers. Nice seating area outside with smoking allowed.

Sat in the big beer garden and had a drink and some food. Tasty, very generous portions and good value for money. The pub itself is old and traditional but the staff are very helpful and keen to point you in the right direction!

Having parked our bikes right outside, we had an excellent lunch on the very spacious patio at the back. The patio is covered with an awning which makes dining outside possible even when raining. Super service from our waiter and the chef came out to ask if my gluten-free adapted meal was alright for me. Well filled chicken and bacon sandwich with home-made potato crisps was delicious I was told, and the fish and chips were also very good. Relaxed atmosphere. Recommend a visit.

Been coming for years but now has really hit its stride. Great range of ales, new ones to try every couple of weeks, fairly priced too. Public and saloon bar, nice beer garden (patio not grass), smokers hit and although lots of local regulars, always has curious visitors, sent on their way with a yarn and a smile. Great landlord and staff, open fires burning any time it’s cooler than 12c, dogs very welcomed. May it last a 1,000 years

Called in for drinks. Excellent pints of Courage Best. Doom Bar was also on tap, but did not notice this until I was leaving. Sat in the beer garden for a while, and then moved to the Saloon bar. Locals pub, very popular. Recommended.

Popped in today for a couple of drinks with my hubby.

Great service, preparing something not entirely on the menu for the (newish) vegan. Great food, decent portions, very good real ale well kept, reasonable prices and the service was excellent. Well worth a try.

Been many times and is a friendly public house with a lovely garden serving a great selection of food and drinks.

This is a delightful place. The real ale is extremely well kept. Gales HSB is a lovely permenant whilst they present several guest brews of great quality. There are no gimmicks! The food is unpretentious. Corned beef hash and doorstop sandwiches set the tone. I love the tiny saloon where the bell is rung for service. The public bar is lively with Anglo Saxon banter. The hidden garden is a gem, alternatively sit out on the high street and watch the twin sets and pearls. I love this pub. Long may it continue. Please visit; don't let it die!!!

A typical British local still having a separate public and saloon bar. Good range of ales although none local (hence the 4 rating) were in top condition. No food in the evening but this is clear from other TA posts. Worth looking up if you're in the area.

This pub is small but has a friendly interior with lovely staff and a choice of two different rooms (although both are quite small). There is also a garden which is lovely to sit in if it's a nice day/evening. If you go for food then there is plenty of choice, options for both light snacks and more substantial meals, the specials are good as well and all the food is surprisingly good value, especially considering the quality of the food. If you're just going for a drink then this is also the right pub for you, the evening has friendly and welcoming village pub atmosphere and a lovely place to have a drink with family or friends. Overall this is a wonderful pub, whether you are going to eat or just for a drink.

Excellent pub grub , especiLly the Hampshire Ham sandwich and chips! This pub is very small, but has a great garden when weather permits . Good seating outside too, to watch the world go by. Daily menu , changed regularly.

Cayó en este pub en mi propia porque estaba debido a recoger un amigo y era un poco temprano. Un poco nervioso porque casi nunca ir a un pub en mi propia pero no podía haber sido mejor. Personal amable, pero no entrometido, preciosa chimenea, Red house fue genial. No había planeado comer, pero vimos lo que las mujeres junto a mí estaban comiendo y no podía resistir. Llamé a mi amigo y le pregunté a unirse a mí. Tuvimos que eran deliciosos fideos de cerdo y sólo 5 libras por una gran porción, y una envoltura de pollo cajún y queso, que era excelente. No puedo recomendar lo suficiente. Ojalá viviera cerca! !

Popped in for a pint while staying with friends. Stayed for several! Lovely well kept ales. Friendly atmosphere. Well worth a repeat visit!

Wonderful pub I like to stop by when I am around , Great bar staff and food is outstanding they have a full range of guest ales

Salón Bar, tome el perro, buena pinta de valentía, carbón lugareños fuego - un pub. Muchos pubs tienen para servir comida, convertido en temáticas fuera de existencia y generalmente arruinar ellos mismos. Este es un boozer. Y una muy buena. Utilizarlo!

Una verdadera chimenea con troncos de leña, personal amable, gran variedad de cervezas, vinos, licores. La comida también está disponible. Un lugar para relajarse cómodamente.

This pub changed hands back in the autumn. The new publican has made several improvements without changing any of the fabric drastically. Biggest change is to the menu which, for lunch, is excellent. A good selection of guest beers is also available.

We travelled down from Reading for their Beaujolais Nouveau Breakfast and were delighted to see that this tradition had maintained its standards after a recent licensee change (I understand that one of the barmen has taken over - so well done sir!)Good plateful with pots of tea; toast and jam accompanied by, of course, the wine - one bottle per person of you order the "full monty". It was very good too and the lunchtime menu looked so good we were very tempted to stay! However, we had the wine in gentle time and finished with a pint of real ale before the four of us caught the bus home!. Excellent pub in every way - good food; great wine and beer and very friendly and cheery staff. We will be back!

We popped in last night after a curry and what a wonderful first impression, roaring log fire, atmospheric, pleasant locals nice staff and a great pint... As I said we didn't eat but they do evening food and you can take it away if you like, very reasonable prices too.

Absolutely love this pub. The new owner has made some great changes in terms of food on offer and general improvements and new ideas. Try it if you're in the area.

Been popping in here for years....always friendly, good beer - a proper "pub"!!! The locals love it.

My Wife and I popped in for a quick drink, we moved in locally at the start of the year and wanted to see what the pub was like.The pub sells traditional ales and good solid hearty pub food with reasonable prices. We did not eat on this occasion as we had eaten earlier, however what we saw what came out to the other tables and the meals appeared to have good sized portions, the dishes were well presented and the smell of the food was great.The service, the choice of food and drinks was great with the staff and patrons being very friendly indeed. The bar has two small bars as you walk in (one on the right and one on the left), the decor is warm, welcoming and I cannot wait to revisit during the Winter as it will be warm, homely and very cosy.The garden at the back of the premises has plenty of tables and space and when we went it was a nice little sun trap until poured with rain (needless to say, I was thankful of the rain as my garden needed it).Great pub, wonderful find, looking forward to popping in again, hopefully to eat this time as well.

Perfect real pub with plenty of guest ales and a new first class classic pub menu.Public and saloon bar and a quiet rear garden.Staff are happy and friendly with good service

Wednesday lunch was lovely nice chpice and very fresh. Had some wonderful beers available. Always a great and well kept pint.

It's great to see The Wagon continuing to be a real pub. A locals pub. Sad to see Neil leave after such a long time but Kacy (his protégée) has continued with the same ethos and added a few ideas with some food options in the evening for drinkers needing some food. Rather than the other way around. Great to have a decent juke box and no piped music!! Great beers I've never had to send back a bad pint or request a 'top up'. Maybe the wine selection could have a couple of better bottles included. And white wine should always be properly chilled. But that's all minor stuff. These 'wet pubs' are sadly declining in our villages so The Wagon deserves the support of all serious drinkers. Cheers!!

Old publican retired August 2016 & senior barman has taken over. New kitchen opened a few days ago. Phone to check service times. Postive and gradual changes very welcome . Still a good beer traditional pub, paved garden is a suntrap in the summer .

As above. Local's all know this is a great pub, for drinking, with food taking second place. It is not a restaurant and doesn't pretend to be. Proper oozes with great beer. Simple.

Great traditional pub - great range of beers - great price for beer. If you want a gastropub then go elsewhere and pay more for your beer. If you want great beer then this is the place to go.

If you happen to be in Hartley Wintney in January, check out Wasailing, held at this delightful 'Vicar of Dibley' Pub. Bar staff fab, and a great atmosphere. X

The worst fish and chips I ever had. Also, the salon smelled like chloride from the toilet. Can't see why this place is rated so well.

A busy english pub with great log fires in the cooler months and a very pleasant garden in the back when the sun is shining. Food is wholesome and good value and the beers well kept

Have been here many time in the past using it as a local. Having moved away years ago popped in twice in the last couple of weeks and found it still has the same great ambience we recall. Good food and wine sat near an open fire, what more could you want ?

A traditional pub which is a positive, with a good menu of good quality pub grub at very reasonable prices! Staff were friendly and a good range of beers, wines etc. Food came very quickly and was generally good. Only slightly random thing was nearly half a lettuce on each plate, including with soup and bread. Otherwise excellent

Very popular village pub with a small but varied good lunchtime menu.The Landlord is always welcoming, the food is ample and unpretentious and the beers are always kept in excellent condition.There were 6 adults , we sat in the garden and we all had something different to eat.Everyone remarked how good their food had been and how helpful the staff were.

Great pop in local pub for good beer and chat. Dogs and their owners always welcomed ! Log fire in winter and tables in the sun to enjoy the High St in the summer. Great to meet up with friends befor a night out

The W&H is a traditional pub that really focuses on its quality beer and friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Fantastic location, right on the high street and one of the last remaining pubs where you can walk in by yourself and be welcomed by a friendly face and a decent pint. Would whole heartedly recommend.

As a regular visitor to Hartley Wintney, I've been meaning to come here for some time. However, as they stop serving food at 14:00, it's been hard to find a time when I was able to get here in time. Unfortunately when I did find the time to visit, I found the food here to be so terrible that there wasn't a single good thing I could say about it. The food here might be cheap, but it's cheap for a reason. The service could be better as well as they are understaffed and treat customers differently.The menu here isn't particularly large, with the food being limited to burgers, sandwiches, fish, sausages, bacon and eggs. Despite being a pub, many pub classics are missing as they only sell the simplest of British food here. There is also no dessert menu here, which is unusual for a pub. The starters, which are listed as 'light meals' on the menu here, offer some better variety as pub classics such as prawns and pâté are available. However, there are only five starters available to choose from. With nothing exciting at all to be found on the menu, I went for the simple order of pâté followed by a 1/2 pound cheese burger with bacon and a side of chips.The pâté here was really bad and it was by far the worst that I have ever had in any pub anywhere. The pâté is accompanied by toast and lettuce, with none of the usual chutney, jam or pickles to be found anywhere. The pâté itself was almost definitely not home-made as this tasted just like the cheap budget pâté you can find in supermarkets. This meant that it had a one-dimensional flavour as there was only the ground meat and fat with nothing whatsoever added to improve the flavour. Unlike most pubs, there was plenty of toast here though, with this being the first pub I have ever been to that don't offer enough pâté to go with the toast. Usually the opposite is the case and you end up with a lot of pâté and little toast. Unfortunately all four pieces of toast here were burnt quite badly and as a result they were overly crispy and had a strong unpleasant burnt flavour. The salad here was simply lettuce with no other ingredients or season whatsoever. As far as lettuce goes, it wasn't bad, but it was no better than average.The burger here was really bad. The biggest problem that it suffered from was that it was absolutely swimming in tomato ketchup and mayonnaise. Both of these sauces were overly sweet and they overpowered the other contents of the burger. The sheer amount of sauce also made the burger difficult to eat. If you tried using your hands, the contents slipped on the sauce and fell out of the bun, while the same thing happened if you tried cutting through the burger. The burger itself was both dry and gristly. I had to isolate the burger from the sauce in order to taste it, but when I did so I found it to be rather bland, so the sauce didn't seem to covering up much flavour here anyway. The bacon in the burger was overly fatty, but whenever there was meat I found it to be extremely tough and almost leather-like. The cheese in the burger was a large congealed mass with an unpleasant taste. Where it had congealed, it was completely separate from the other contents of the burger and it was easily removed as a single layer. The only good thing about this burger was the bun, which was almost muffin-like in terms of texture. It's a shame that the contents were so bad. The burger also came with a small pot of coleslaw. This appeared to be home-made, but unfortunately it was extremely bland, with the only flavour being a slight hint of mayonnaise. The chips were also bad as they had a hard skin, but they weren't crispy. The hardness extended a fair way into the insides and it was only a small area in the very centre of the chips that wasn't hard.The service here was reasonable for the most part as there wasn't a great deal to it. You order at the bar here, then after that it was simply a case of taking a seat and waiting for your food. Unfortunately it took a while to initially place my order as the pub seems to be understaffed. There are two bars here in two different rooms and, while there were two people working, most of the time there was only one person tending both bars. Some draughts were also only available in one of the bars, which meant that there were further delays as the bartender had to travel into the other room multiple times to pour certain drinks to then bring them back. When I asked if I could pay after my meal, I was told that I couldn't as they don't allow tabs here. However, later in the afternoon somebody who was a tourist visiting the pub for the first time was allowed to keep a tab for their meal. I was pretty disgusted to see this as I have no idea why the bartender decided to treat me differently from another customer. I could have perhaps understood if the other customer in question was a regular, but it was evident from the overheard conversation that they were visiting the pub for the first time. In my opinion, all customers should be treated equally, but that doesn't appear to be the case at this establishment.The value here seems fantastic at first glance as this place is significantly cheaper than your average pub, with the prices being not far off greasy spoon prices. For example, a simple burger and chips will knock you back as little as £6.20 here. The starters aren't as good a deal as the mains though, with the prices for these being around £5, which still isn't too much. The food is cheap here for a reason though as it's far below average and you're much better off cooking something at home than eating here. If you don't have the time, you're still better off microwaving something or eating at a low budget café, as you'll still get a better meal for less money.The pub looks a reasonable size from the outside, but when you get inside you realise that most of the space is for staff use only as this is a poky little pub with very little floor space. The bar area is quite packed as the crowds seem to drink in the limited area around the bar areas. There are only eight tables in here in total as this is place is designed to drink in rather than to eat in. If you don't sit by the windows, which are mostly tables for one or two, then you are stuck with the tables against the back wall. In this are the lighting is minimal and the ceilings are quite low, creating a dark and cramped area that isn't particularly pleasant to sit in. The place is decorated with a few trophies and old black and white photographs of the village and it doesn't feel much like a traditional British pub when you're inside.

this is a really friendly pub with great staff - I was very short of time but they made sure I was served quickly. i had home made chicken soup which was delicious and served with very nice bread and half of cider. It also seemed really good value too. Couldn't have asked for more, even the regulars checked they couldn't see a traffic warden around! The pub is full of character, has a fairly large garden to drink outside and is in a pretty village setting. Definitely worth a proper visit with more time.

I haven't had a meal here as yet, but I've stopped a few times for a beer or three. They keep their ales well, and have a nice secluded garden at the rear, and tables and chairs at the front where you can watch the high-rollers drive by.

Was stopping in for lunch on the way through to the Jurassic Coast.Really pleasantly surprised!Beautiful little Pub with a great garden out the back.The meals were great. I had the burger special which was beef, cranberry and brie. Amazing taste and very filling. Would definitely return.

Pleasant pub in the heart of the village. Visiting from Yorkshire and made very welcome. Friendly staff and locals

This is our local, and the beer is excellent. It is an old fashioned village pub, great atmosphere and the beer is very well kept. Try it!

A fantastic traditional pub, with a great atmosphere and very friendly bar staff. Lots of choice for ale drinkers!

This is a great pub. It offers an extensive range of bitters, and I did notice their whiskies were pretty well stocked too. Welcome was friendly, and the atmosphere was busy and buzzy, with lots of locals in.Food was terrific! The choices are simple traditional pub grub, but my ham, egg and chips was perfectly cooked and presented and the portions were generous. The 'ham' was actually a thick gammon steak.A very pleasant experience.

My wife and i have used this pub several times a year for the last 12 years as its what we call our local. we are not great drinkers but when we go out for walks winter or summer we sometimes drop in for lunch and a drink. its small but has a great atmosphere. In winter there is always a log fire burning. and the locals are friendly bunch of people.

This is a great traditional pub (which is something of a dying breed!) which serves locals and visitors with great charm.We popped in for lunch a few days ago and tucked into various baguettes, sandwiches and cheesy chips! This isn't gourmet food but honest to goodness pub grub (and that's a positive feature!)There was a lovely fire on whilst we were there, unfortunately (and the only negative) it wasn't quite cutting it on this very cold day and we kept our coats on!

Idyllic setting for this cosy comfortable den if exquisite ales.Each meal ordered by our table was delivered quickly and stacked with the freshest high quality food sampled in this area. Log fires and friendly village company make for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.A walled garden with sturdy furniture and a large open grill have you in a breeze free sun trap wrapped in scented plants.All in all one of the best of the many hundreds of establishments I've ever visited.

Terrific little pub, very cosy in a terrific little village with nice warm fire and friendly locals and staff.we didn't actually have a meal, but I just have to rate it, because of their amazing Hot Chocolate, serviced in a massive oversize cup!

Good local atmosphere & always someone to chat to!!!! You can have lunch monday to Friday or just a drink any day.

We had lunch at this pub on a saturday a few weeks ago having stumbled upon it walking through hartley wintney, and were so happy we did! It it s truly traditional pub with very friendly service, and the menu was so reasonably priced we were concerned it would not live up to expectations but it was even better than we thought a pub could be! Will definitely return and highly recommend home made soup, sandwiches and pate.

Traditional snug pub with good selection of ales and a hot log fire. Ales always in good condition and always a fresh glass . Friendly landlord who has been there for many years. Have not eaten here.

This is undoubtedly one of the best pubs in Hampshire! It has a great atmosphere, great service and is very traditional. There are two bars, both with log fires and low beams. A great pub.

A traditional drinkers pub with a small lounge bar and a public bar with juke box and dart board.Always a great varying selection of real ales plus all the normal fair. You have to try the landlords very own "Mars bar Vodka".Lunchtime food is reasonably basic but very good with daily specials as well.Staff and landlord are very welcoming (as are the locals once you get to know them!).Good sized patio garden at the back with covered smoking area and outside tables to the front as well.A proper pub in a fantastic village - well worth a visit.

Really enjoyed my lunch with friends I've not seen for years. Flavour some soup, beautiful burger with loads of cheese. Crispy chips , delicious pate. Will definitely be going back.

We always go to the Wagon & Horses for a Friday night drink before fish and chips. It's normally busy with a local throng of noisy, friendly folks but still the service is pretty good with the aid fo the infamous bell! Nice garden out back for a warm summer evening. They always have a very good selection of "Special Beers" many of which are local brews and should be sampled but are not for the faint hearted. Some are 5% and above. Give it a try

I dont think you can beat the Waggon at lunchtime in Hartley Wintney. Great value for money, the food is really good pub food. Just had a lovely burger, around me were people saying how good their lunches were. The secret here is simple food, well cooked, well priced. Really friendly staff, beer is good .. what more can you want from lunch!

Landlords Neil & Linda have run this pub for 30 years or so. Its where all the locals drink. The beer is always well looked after and the prices reasonable. The food (I believe that its only served at lunchtimes) is delicious. Generous portions and reasonably priced. Last time I ate there, i ordered a ploughman's lunch and couldn't eat it all.The outstanding pub in the village.

This place is a great pub but should not be listed in the restaurants review and can not be said to be nr 1 in Hartley Wintney albeit maybe in a pub section.

Nice pint spiolt by foul mouthed customers/regulars, seem,d like a saloon bar from a cowboy movie as we entered the place stops, very uncomftable, bar staff very abrupt and quite rude. same without the throwbacks would make a nice pub. Definatley not a pub for females,

After living near Hartley Wintney for 2 years, after a 20 year break, I finally made it back to the W&H for a pint. A Thursday evening, both fires alight the public bar buzzing and a pint of superb Gales bitter. This is what a pub should be, a sanctuary from the world that serves great beer. Well done the Waggon & Horses.

A real pub which is not trying to be something it isn't - It's a pub and a very good one.The staff are real with a personality and remember what you had in the last round - The beer is good and I suspect that the food will be basic but equally good.A real Log Fire and a warm welcome - Really wish there were more pubs like this left and one nearer to us in Yateley.Well done and long may tou continue.

Lovely welcoming Staff and customers, warm and friendly. Good selection of beers and wines. I will definitely go back. Thank you

Great atmosphere here. Warm inviting fire, cosy snug and a landlord that remembers your name. A refreshing change!

The Wagon & Horses can't be rated as a restaurant, but as a pub it's great. It's unusual, as it seems to have escaped the usual refurbishments given to English pubs over the last 100 years, including the advent of credit cards !Well kept draft ales are a treat. Loved the log fire with hearth flush with the bare wooden floor.Foodwise, there's an upgraded bar snacks menu with no deserts. If you like gastro-pubs this definitely not for you. If you like an old fashioned pub with lovely ales you'll love it.

The Wagon and horses is a pub first and foremost, its the only highstreet pub in Hartley Wintney. Its from another time. I've only been in the public bar which has low ceilings, is dark, old fashioned and very blokey. It is certainly unpretentious. It provides a nice contrast to the the more sophisticated establishments around. A good place for a pint or two before a curry with the lads. I did not eat there - and I was not in the eating bit - that said, I'm not sure I would eat there as the atmosphere I witnessed in the public bar was lively.

Got here too late for lunch (at 2:15pm on a Monday), but we had a couple of pints anyway and were glad we did.As others have mentioned, this is a proper pub: friendly, popular but not crowded, with good beer. I had a pint of Dark Star Green-Hopped IPA. Wow. What a tasty pint.

on our way to wedding we dropped into pub for something to eat. what a nice surprise! brilliant food and really helpful staff. would visit again and not too far in the future.

Working in Hampshire for a few months and stopped here for a pint. What a great atmosphere, full of locals, all having fun and spilling out on to the high street. Gave it a Notting hill like feel. The bitters were excellent, wine also good. Expensive for a village pub we thought, but great value if you had to pay for atmosphere. Didn't eat but food looked good. DD

The Waggon attracts good company. The range of regularly changing beers is impeccable. The lunchtime food is delicious, traditional and very good value. It is my favourite pun of al time.

There are not many "proper" pubs left in the UK but this must be the best of that breed. Small but perfectly formed, good beer, friendly staff and great customers. Food only at lunchtimes but great value for money.

well worth a pint if you are passing, the best real pub for miles, not for foodies but a real pub with a great buzz and very reasonable prices.

The epitomy of the perfect pub - great beer - fresh food (lunchtime only) - open fires for the winter and courtyard garden for summer - even the ducks pop over the road to eat.Landlord/lady are wonderful and staff are always attentive. Two small bars with open fires generally full with a mixed crowd of friendly locals.

Driven past this pub several times and always noticed it busy and people having fun! One Saturday night took taxi to pub with my wife (10miles from home). Had drinks in rear garden - fabulous romantic setting. Ended up spending the whole evening in the bar chatting to great people. Bar staff are cool, locals are friendly. A pub/bar for food or drinks. Everyone is made welcome. Wished I was more local. 10/10.

This has been my local pub for 30 years, and Neil and Linda have never failed to run anything but a perfect pub. Atmosphere and drink is first class. Unfortunately they do not do evening meals, but the lunchtime menu is superb. The ploughmans lunches (3 or 4 varieties) are superb, the best i have ever had .. and portion size is on the great side of generous, whatever you order!The garden is lovely, well tended, secluded and picturesque, but equally nice is sitting out front, on the spacious pavement, watching village life ... I love this pub.

I've been visiting this pub for about 10 years, anything from a weekly Friday Lunchtime visit when I worked in Harley Wintney, to the less frequent special pub lunch. Every time I have visited I have never been disappointed with the Beer or the Food. The specials lunch board usually has a lovely selection of amazing baguettes, soups, and hot meals. It never fails.The HSB seems to taste better here than anywhere else.The staff are always very welcoming and friendly.If you go in the winter you will be treated to a roaring log fire, in the summer the beer garden is secluded and lovely.If you were looking for somewhere to take someone to show them what a real English pub is, and should be, this is the place.

Very rare to find an "old old school" pub like The Wagon & Horses in Hartley Wintney.Very welcoming, roaring log fire, friendly locals, this really is the perfect pub!100% better than the chain pubs that unfortunately keep popping up in the local area, I hope this village remains chain free, (sadly Costa has taken root here)

Had a pint of ale and cider with my husband when visiting from Melbourne Australia in June of this year (2012). The barman (sorry forgotten his name) was extremely friendly, and not just because I told him I was a fourth generation Hartley Wintneyian who emigrated as an 11 year old in 1980.The pub was clean with a warm friendly atmosphere that I love about old English pubs, and this should never change as this is what people love about a true local.Loved it, and hope to be back again soon.Amanda Scott (Evelyn and Tony Mason's granddaughter formerly of 54 Sandy Lane)
