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.

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!

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.

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...

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.

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.

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

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!!!

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.

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! !

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!

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

This place is a fantastic little "boozer". Probably the only real pub left in the area, too. The landlord, Neil, is one of the finest gentlemen you could hope to meet, and he has surrounded himself with a wonderful staff, all of whom share his ethos on how a good pub should be run.The real ales are always delicious and well kept, not once have I had a bad pint. The selection of spirits is extremely wide, and all drinks are made and served with care and passion.Like all good pubs, you have a choice on entering. Loud, music-filled public bar to the left...quiet, comfy lounge bar to the right, both of which have real fireplaces once the weather's turned. There's also a superb back garden with plenty of seating plus a heated smoking area.The locals are an eclectic bunch, most of whom are as charming as the pub they're in. If you live within 20 miles of this place you should definitely make it a regular venue. if you live within a 1000 miles of it, you should at least visit once!

Real Ale, Staff, Atmosphere and Luchtime food best for miles. This is a proper pub with real fires both sides. Food is simple but hearty and not from a packet. 4 different real laes kept really well and ever changing - two are stright from barrel. Much better than the rubbish from over priced Cricketers nearby

First time here.Fabulous fish and chips, went on Friday lunch and they were really busy so had to wait 10-15 minutes. This was purely through amount of orders as staff worked so hard and were really efficient. It was well worth the wait and will now always use this fish shop.

From start to finish the planning , preparation and the event was professionally handled. The buffet food was generous and of excellent quality. The venue was perfect and felt quite separate from the main restaurant. Quite a private affair. the staff were professional and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Charlotte for your support throughout !

Me and my partner ate here and used a groupon we received as a preasent. From the start it was woeful! Asked for a pint had no beer on tap so asked for a coke and he had no coke, so he poured me a lemoaide from a 2l bottle into a warm glass and went flat immediately. I ordered the spring rolls and they came from the freezer, having had better from Iceland. The main was also a disaster my partner had fish and chips, I think the fish was wrapped in a soggy pancake and cooked for 3-4 minutes. Soggy tasteless fish. Would recommend changing staff menu and decor. Won’t be back

I was travelling early during the week and decided to stop off at Fleet services on the M3 at around 7am. Not many places were open at that time. However, Harry Ramsden were offering cooked breakfasts. It was served very quickly and the items were served hot. Great to also see black pudding on the menu.
