Waggon and Horses in South Kesteven - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Always such great, friendly service, and fab food. The barbecue this week (instead of traditional Sunday lunch - Which is always tdf) is amazing!

My Dad's brother and sister in law came over from Australia, we went for a Sunday dinner, was delicious, although would like more meat. Staff very friendly, nothing's too much trouble, your man on the carvery filled anything empty straight away, thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

Excellent service and Food, top notch 👌

Lovely meal, excellent service, an all round really lovely evening.

Been a few times over the past few months and loved it. Friends very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food for the price. One commenting they were the best fish and chips she’d ever had. Great service, hot plates, lovely food.

Just tried out the Wednesday lunchtime Carvery, de-lic-ious 😋 We were warmly welcomed, seated and order taken promptly. Food was lovely and warm, so often lacking with a carvery. Choice of 3 meats and help yourself to a selection of perfectly cooked veggies. The gravy was lush. No room for a dessert for me but my other half found room for biscoff cheesecake, looked amazing, and he confirmed it was. Accompanied by a pint of Neck Oil (my absolute favourite beer) it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Will definitely return.

Great service & food, good value too.

We can never fault the food here. DELICIOUS 😋

My partner, and Is visit was amazing and the server (Maddy) was super lovely and made us feel welcome and at home! The food was also lovely ☺️

Easily the best pub food I've had in or anywhere near Bourne. Have been many times with my family. Some good ales on tap and excellent service.

Delicious food, you can really tell it's homemade. The vegetarian lasagne was delicious. Dog friendly too! Would certainly return!

Freezing cold , I understand things go wrong but if the heating was out off action /broken a few portable heaters would have helped. Average food but served on cold plates .? this making the whole experience one not to repeat.

Saw a sign outside advertising carvery on Wednesday lunchtime the car park wasn't busy so went in and a lot of tables were empty and asked a staff member for a table for three she said she had to ask the chef she disappeared for ages when she did reappear she said no they could not accommodate us it was only 12.30 so not long into lunch time but all ok found a lovely pub just down the road great food and service at the other pub

Great food and beer. Service was slow. Overall though well worth a visit.

Hi we celebrated my niece's birthday yesterday & we all had a really lovely time! Great staff & delicious 😋 food! I enjoyed the non-alcoholic gin & tonic too! Wonderful! We definitely recommend xxx

We booked here to celebrate our Mum's 80th Birthday. Our reserved table was beautifully laid out. Service was very prompt. We ordered from both the main menu and the specials board. All of us absolutely loved our meals (these were pan fried chicken, pan fried duck, ribeye beef steak, sea bass, salmon en-croute, lamb shank and steak and kidney suet pudding. These were all very well presented and lovely and hot. We also weren't short of vegetables 😊. Desserts were amazing too and we all left feeling very full. A massive thank you to Richard and his team for making our Mum's Birthday very special. We will all be returning without any doubt and would highly recommend a visit here. Thank you

Our new favourite place for a Sunday dinner. Carvery was top notch. Very good value for money. Will be returning soon 😀

We had a wonderful mains and desert for a very reasonable price 😀. The food was delicious and the staff very friendly and helpful.

Lovely place didn't have any food just a drink but the looked lovely will go back to have a meal staff very helpful

Dined with friends on their recommendation and were not disappointed. Decent parking (although the Blue Badge spaces could be marked as such), spacious dining area and a very enjoyable carvery meal for all four of us.

The food was excellent. Four adults eating and all the meals came out with top marks.

Having been in a few times before and has always been excellent 4 of us went in for a meal last night and sadly was let down by the waitress. We ordered drinks 1 of which should have been a shandy no Lemonade added so had to ask for more we then ordered food ( which was lovely) we had to ask for more drinks as once she had delivered the food she then left us alone not even checking if everything was OK. On the second round of drinks 1 of them should have been a small coke and a large was delivered whilst clearing the table she asked if we wanted desert menu we said yes and then we never saw her again. The pub had a few other tables in there but it wasn't busy the table next to us had to go to the bar to collect more drinks because again she wasn't asking she seemed to be to busy chatting with the other girl behind the bar so they lost out on 4 deserts and more drinks and tip but the 4 meals were as lovely as always

17 of us went for a meal and it was all very good. Good service good food all hot considering there were lots of us

Sunday lunch carvery. Excellent food, service & price. Staff were really friendly. Easy car parking.

Pub with no burgers don't understand

It was years ago that I visited this pub but called the other day and what a change we'll done to you all fantastic place now

Good meal with friends. Would I go back yes.

The Waggon and Horses have since apologised and offered to refund my meal deposit. Thank you for that, Richard. It seems that a refund was not requested on my behalf! I should have rung them myself! My sincere apologies to the Waggon and Horses for the misunderstanding. Season's greetings to everyone there. Very disappointed with attitude. I booked festive lunch and paid £10 deposit. I am extremely ill and was unable to attend. I didn't just change my mind! Couldn't let them know the day before as they were closed! I've lost my £10! Not an ounce of empathy or festive spirit! Bah! Humbug! Same thing happened at Smith's in Bourne last week and they are very kindly holding the deposit to deduct from my next meal there. You should take a few lessons, Waggon & Horses. I shall tell everybody I know and never darken your door again. Disgusting!

Had an average meal experience. Chicken in a Brandy and Cream sauce. Chicken tasted burnt and was dry. Bland sauce. Gammon Steak and Pineapple had no Pineapple. Extremely salty. Lamb Shank decent. Seabass Good. Good choice of beers and nice atmosphere.

A popular venue that serves a nice selection of menu, including a carvery at reasonable prices.

We have been here a few times now, and have not had a bad meal yet. The presentation is great as is the quality of food. The staff are helpful and extremely polite.

A great evening, first visit here. Firstly, the staff were lovely and very friendly. Our server was a gem & extremely efficient, sorry I can't remember her name. Food fantastic - the meat pie was very tasty and packed full of meat, the pan fried chicken was incredibly tasty. We will be back.

Had a fantastic meal, 9 of us in our group all food came out hot and cooked to perfection, the home made chips and onion rings was lovely... the only thing that let it down was the pub was cold other than that was perfect. We shall definitely be going again.

Had a lovely meal white bait followed by mixed grill a lovely evening would go back again

Whenever you visit you are always made welcome.... the food is constantly excellent hence it is our go to place

First time of going, great, will certainly be going again,

One of our favourite places to eat and wedding meal is to be held here to. So I'm adding to this review as we got married in the church just over the road. Only 18 of us at the meal but it was exceptional (as all our meals have been). They had a list of what everyone was eating from the wedding menu, place names for everyone so food was brought straight out and given to the person. Richard downloaded a couple of songs for us so we had our first dance there too. Couldn't fault anything and heard several guests saying that they wouldn't mind eating here again so I hope they do support this lovely pub and it's delicious food.

We had been recommended this pub for a great Sunday lunch. It was very very busy at 2.30 when we arrived. Staff were flat out but polite. It was obvious they were struggling with overload. One young woman behind the bar looked frazzled. Menus were taken to our table at far end of the room. Next to a dying plant and a cracked window. The room was hot and stuffy but we couldn't open windows as they were nailed or locked! We were told there would be a wait when orders were taken. We both ordered roast lamb at £17.00? I think. Drinks arrived promptly. We were called to queue for our carvery. The gentleman carving was hot and hassled. I said how busy he looked. Maybe a daft thing to say but he commented 'I'm always busy here.' Not a happy man. The meat was well cooked no sign of pink lamb sadly but it was the best and tastiest part of our meal. Veg was getting low and he scooped each collection of veg to the side in each tray. Needless to say the food wasnt piping hot and the veg mixed greens, carrots were overcooked. My husband had one new potato. Yorkshire puds wete deflated and doughy thro being kept warm. The cauliflower cheese was not in my opinion a pleasant flavour sauce and I left my serving. There was very little mint sauce left so we scraped the dish out that was self serve. Lack of staff caused some of these issues I feel sure. The view where we sat was really off putting and so hot I couldnt stay longer so no desserts for us. A disappointing experience.

We called in on the off chance it was lovely. Food was excellent. The staff friendly

I shared my birthday with 7 friends and had a lovely time. The food was very tasty service was great.

Booked for lunch and really enjoyed our food. We had a carvery meal and it was perfectly cooked. The service was excellent. We had a friendly welcome from the lady behind the bar. The waitress was so attentive and was making sure all the customers were being looked after.

Visited here for a family get together and found the staff were amazing and really helpful with friendly attitudes. The food is where the experience was let down a bit as it was a mixed bag. One big thing of note was the lack of allergen information on the menu which is a surprise to me. The food dishes that had been prepared on site by the chefs were delicious including the burgers and lamb shanks however the pre-made items like the desserts were terrible with no flavour. Let your chefs make the food I know it will cost more but it'll taste a lot better as they know what they are doing and make great food.

Very friendly and lovely staff had a carvery on Wednesday also do Sunday carvery as well

Edit, 4/25/23; Been here many times now when I take Mum and Dad out for lunch. Always great service and food. Decent beer selection. Off street parking. Good food, beer and service.

Nice place, good food and excellent service

Good food, great service and excellent value

Sunday lunch was excellent. Great service too. Will definitely be back.

Lovely food and great service. Would return👍

The food were really good and the service were great so I would like to visit again

Food was very good, waitresses were very attentive but some if the service was very slow!

Went and had Sunday dinner with sister-in-law, veg bins was low and cool ,food was ok though , ill go again

Good food in a convivial atmosphere

Excellent food, all cooked fresh and served with a smile. Friendly staff throughout the pub. Excellent carvery with variety of meats and nicely cooked vegetables.

Consistently good. Good prices and staff friendly and welcoming.

Best carvery we’ve had in 2022! Good selection of starters and desserts too. Option to have a carvery or choose from main menu. Good selection of vegetables and meats, new potatoes or roast potatoes. Competitive and reasonable pricing.

Had a great night. Good product range, something for everyone

Food was lovely very well cooked & presented. The staff were really friendly and efficient. Overall a good dining experience, and we'll definitely go there again.

Never disappoint, great food at good prices always enjoy our visits

Had a midweek carvery really good selection, will definitely go again.

Food was excellent, service was slow but this was we were told due to a rush (3 tables) coming in at once not what I as an ex chef calls a rush. The girl serving told us she only started 2 days prior and could have done with some training first as we were not informed of the specials which I noticed on the way out but was however friendly and polite. Not put of and will definitely call back meat in the mixed grill was all first class.

We have eaten on 2 separate occasions, both were carvery days. Absolutely super meals both times, great selection of vegetables, meats were tender and tasty, we are definitely booking again. Highly recommended.

Excellent meal and service. A very friendly place.

Service wasn’t great and 4 choices were off the menu which didn’t leave a lot left to choose from! Food was ok but not great!

Excellent meal, but be warned the mixed grill takes some eating 😊

Fabulous food and very friendly staff. Lovely to visit and well worth too.

The waggon and Horses always enjoy Sun day lunch 😊😊

Superb food and excellent service I will certainly visit again.

Good well cooked food friendly staff

Sadly i was attending a wake. The beers certainly need a revisit in the near future. It's a spacious, clean pub. We did eat here several years ago and the food was very nice but that was pre covid. It's certainly on our places to visit list.

Great food & service. Nice selection & very helpful staff

Always a great place and superb food. Another visit and another great experience with great food. Specials board with Pork belly today 🥰

Decided to try the Wagon and Horses as we had heard that the food was good. The food was fantastic. We went on a Wednesday so I had the carvery and the beef was excellent. My Dad had the steak pie which he absolutely loved. Very friendly and professional service. We will definitely be going back. Highly recommend.

Once again, as with every visit, a superb meal, the carvery is delicious, we will not be eating anywhere else if the choice of venue is ours to make. Lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff, the food is excellent and the prices are so reasonable. I would highly recommend that every one try this pub, in our opinion it is brilliant.

Could do better learn from the professionals go to the wishing well

Eight of us went for dinner on Saturday evening, table booked for 8 o'clock. Service was excellent. One of the best menus for miles around, steaks, mixed grill, liver, fish etc etc absolutely spoiled for choice. We had the full works, starters, mains and desert followed by coffees and brandy. Everything was overseen by a lady called Ann who could not be faulted. Our bottles of red wine were opened early and allowed to breathe. Highly recommended and this restaurant will now be firmly on our dining out schedule.

Great food, great service and we will be returning when we are next in the area! Plenty of choice on the menu, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals! Thankyou to the team for making our experience so good tonight!

We visited family & decided to eat out. I ordered the Rib Eye. Medium rare for me, cooked perfectly. On our table was stuffed pepper, rack of lamb & a chicken & mash dish. Lovely atmosphere & lovely friendly staff. I'd highly recommend a visit.

Utterly gorgeous food, just like Nan used to make. We had the two pies just to see us thru the walk home and ended up catching the bus home with two dogs! Lovely fresh beers (I had Bishops Farewell) and a selection of flavoured gin plus good old fashioned Guinness without the "Extra Cooling" that they seem to think everyone wants. Thoroughly enjoyable visit, pull in and you won't be disappointed.🍻

Real pies!! The venison pie was superb

Excellent food at reasonable prices. Homemade steak pies delicious 👍

Struggling to dine here. We have been twice in mid week and have been turned away twice, this time due to staff shortage. Another (drinking) customer recommended the Goat at Frognall and we had an excellent meal.

Good service, nice friendly staff, easy parking.

Good food and staff excellent service.

Very good food and it appears the Sunday Carvery is back.

First visit to this lovely place as we are not local, brilliant meal,as I'm gluten free,not a problem at all which was such a relief,also I was with two vegetarians who were well catered for,our meals were all very good,the young lady serving was very patient and helpful with our needs,it all was very enjoyable,thank you,it's just a shame we live in Oxford,a bit too far to be our local.

Good food, great service 🙏💚😇 Thanks

Just had yet another meal in this village pub. My 3 children have just treated me to a birthday dinner. Myself my partner all agreed the whole night was amazing. Food of high quality. Portion size just perfect and timing great. Incredible place as always. Thankyou for making my evening perfect.

Richard who runs the Waggon and Horses and his team did the food for our wedding. The menu he prepared was excellent, and met all tastes and the food and table presentation were superb. This is our favourite place to eat, the food is great, provides value for money, and the atmosphere and staff are very welcoming

Staff lovely. Warm welcome on arrival. Beautiful decor and wonderful choice on menu. Food well presented and full of flavour. Will definitely be back.

Food excellent highly recommend

Fantastic meal tonight as usual. Plenty of choice and great value for money. Never disappointed here.

3 items on the reduced menu not available on a Tuesday night.!!! Food well cooked and presented. Price reasonable.

Love going here, the food is always superb and so is the service. Strongly recommend anyone to try it and see for themselves.

First time experience for us. Nothing to complain about, choice of food was excellent, service was pleasant and restaurant ambiance was very appealing.

Came in ..great pint ..really good sunday roast ..easy ..hassle free ..proper pub

Food was first class and the young lady that served us was lovely. Would recomend the rack of lamb and the syrup sponge pudding.

Had a absolute fantastic meal here. T.. My mum was taken in and the landlady was absolutely amazing stayed with us the whole time till ambulance arrived ( I think her name was Caroline) mum very well thank you. The choice of food was brilliant. Would highly recommend it and we will definitely go back xx

What a fantastic meal the family had . But also the care as my Mum collapsed in the garden and Debbie stayed with us the whole time . She ran 999 and sorted things for us . She made sure we were and didnt leave us until the ambulance took Mum to hospital which was about 2 hours later . That's what I call caring , such a lovely lady and my sister and I appreciated that kindness so much .

Delious food,friendly staff( Emily, Steve) value for money. Was fantastic and felt welcomed. Highly recommended 😊 Will definitely be back,Thank you!!

We had a delicious meal. Friendly helpful,prompt, staff( Emily,Steve). We shall be be back,highly recommend for affordable good quality local produce. Thank you making us feel welcome over this stressful pandemic. Andrew & Caroline Chaisty 🌺
