Waggon & Horses in Wiltshire

We popped in for dinner as we were staying locally and were so impressed we ended up coming back the following night. Everything we ate was delicious, and the kids chicken nuggets might be the best we've ever eaten!

Superb carvery today (2/2/2025). - choice of 3 meats and all the trimmings plus massive array of veg. The Raspberry creme brulee pud was out of this world.

5 of us, Sunday lunch., today. Excellent! Food was great, served from the carvery and what really impressed me was how well organised everything was. We booked for 12 noon and the place was packed but because they tell you when to go to the carvery to select your food (all freshly sliced in front of you and piping hot, including a vast array of vegetables), there’s no queuing or waiting. Really efficient and easy. Staff were lovely and smiling, like they actually wanted to be there We were in and out in an hour which was perfect for the day we had planned If you wanted to linger, that would have been fine too in nice pub surroundings and a pleasant atmosphere

out for a meal with friends as you can see we all had burgers… absolutely delicious.. big portions apart from the tiny cheesecake (jokes with staff) 🤣🤣. had a good laugh with staff and surrounding customers… good menu and beverage choices… alc free ipa called clear head for me as driving (very nice). top marks all round 🥇

Sunday carvery meats good though some veg were a bit watery.

Myself and my family have known Matt and Sharon for 10 yrs +. Matt and Sharon are consumate professionals. The staff they employ are always friendly, polite, professional and efficient. The drinks have always been top quality. The food?....absolutely fantastic!! Wonderful food, good prices!!

Lovely old inn, very atmospheric. The Yorkshire pudding wraps are outstanding in value and taste.

I'm not a pub person as I rarely drink but the Sunday Carvery is excellent as is the weekday food!

This is a quaint thatched pub that dates back to 1669 I believe. It looks so pretty from the front and doesn't disappoint when entering it. Everywhere you look there is old artifacts and pictures showing its past and history. It almost transports you you to another time and it's magical. Log fires and a very interesting bar with such an array of interesting things I can only urge you to go and see your self. The food is 👌🏻.........we have been a couple of times now and the long drive for us is well worth the lovely food and the ambience of the whole experience. We really like it. Dogs are welcome 😁 inside and there is a covered seating area outside for those warmer days.tgere is a small car park at the back, parking at the front and across the road. The staff are always welcoming, friendly and professional. Accessible for the not so steady on their feet and there are accessible toilets available. All in all it's excellent 👍🏻 value for money in a rustic historic setting in a beautiful part of the world and we love it.

The old style, charming pub with eclectic decorating. Very friendly staff. The food was delicious and fresh. We had a great dinner. old style, charming, cosy pub. Very friendly staff. The food was delicious and fresh. We had a great dinner. Free parking behind the building and opposite the road. Highly recommend.

It's a perfect English pub. Beautiful building with history embedded in it stonework and thatch. It is always warm and welcoming with great beer and good food.

Fantastic old style pub with proper food served in good quantities. The food has nice twists on the traditional. Staff were lovely and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I would heartily recommend to anyone.

great food and fair price. Note Yorkshire wrap isn't really a main course so don't get caught out

Nice enough staff,no atmosphere.

Excellent service and atmosphere

Not remotely friendly or welcoming, £9.50 for a meanly filled baked potato with basic beans & cheese with my pint. Nothing special and should be priced that way. Also no soya milk or coconut milk offered with coffee “because no one buys it, so it all goes off”. Pathetic. I’ve known this pub for decades but it’s amazing how uncaring, lazy and miserable these people are. Get some more professional people in who know how to smile -and do it fast.

Really nice place to relax away from a stressful routine. Nice, quiet place.

Not at all impressed … no wine list; lamb as tough as old boots as was dauphinoise potatoes and fish cakes with virtually no fish. Tepid water not iced and worst of all felt rushed … closed half an hour before advertised closing time! Not a minute later than 9.30 had to leave the place and was constantly reminded of this deadline ! Positives the lamb gravy and the cream brulee.

Generous pub portions, I only had a baguette sandwich but it was excellent and included fries and a good salad for £9.

Absolutely gorgeous carvery highly recommended, 2 seperate out side seating areas (one upstairs with kids play area/climbing frame and a sheltered one downstairs) can't comment on atmosphere as we had dogs and sat outside did pop in couple of times and it was lovely to look at, all the people I interacted with that didn't work there was very friendly, and the staff were great and just as friendly (carvery <£19 at time of writing)

A small reunion with friends. A very pleasant time had by all

Popped in on way to Marlborough with sister and husband, for lunch. Have visited before. Food always to a very high standard. Service also excellant.

Was told we could only have a large carvery when due to medical condition i can only eat small amounts so knew i wouldnt eat all the meat being put on my plate, when i asked a member of Staff about this we were told People were paying a price for a small meal yet filling their plates, having saw how some People were 'loading' their plates this then made sense what we were told & due to me knowing i can not eat the large meal is the only reason i will not go back.......on a plus, the Staff were great, the pub is great & the food i did manage to eat was excellent & to those who can eat a big meal i'd fully recommend it

Great meal and lovely atmosphere.

Welcoming staff, fantastic food and great prices. Pleasant outdoor beer garden and plenty of parking. The menu is well thought out nice food with veg or burgers ribs etc. top marks

A lovely old English pub, we chose this location to have a family get together and Sunday carvery roast. We are in a room at the front of the property and the setting and decor was traditional and very clean. The staff were pleasant and helpful but just lacked any genuine warmth, possibly because two of our party of eight had been unable to attend at the last moment and they appeared slightly irritated that we had not let them know in advance. In fact I had tried to contact them before we left home, but as it was two hours earlier they weren’t yet open. The food was plentiful and well cooked. There was a choice of three meats and a nut roast for vegans. In our house we season our food so I found it a bit bland, but if you don’t use salt in your cooking it will be fine. Two of our party chose the nut roast and this was probably the biggest disappointment of the selection, as neither nut roast was eaten, suffering from the same lack of flavour as much of the other food. Would we go back? Probably not, but if you don’t touch salt or herbs, this may be very much to your liking.

Great food and views, has indoor and outdoor seating. Can choose to sit in the sun on a raised garden or under a large wigwam style tent

Just passed in the car,lovely old building

The restaurant is a very nice, cozy, and quaint spot, perfect for a comfortable dining experience. The eclectic decor adds a unique charm, making it a visually appealing place to enjoy a meal. However, one aspect that detracted from our experience was a server who stomped her feet loudly as she moved between dining rooms. Her heavy steps, akin to concrete, were quite distracting and gave the impression of anger or frustration. It's worth noting that she was nice and efficient, but her loud foot stomping was very distracting. Despite this, the food was excellent—affordable, tasty, and served in more than generous portions. Overall, it's a great place to dine, with just a minor service issue that hopefully gets addressed.

Excellent food and great service. Proper lovely old English pub. Have eaten here a number of times in last 6 months and never disappoints.

Brilliant historic pub. Great selection of ales on tap, and the carvery was fantastic. Perfect end to a day walking and taking in the history of the surrounding area.

Car ery is excellent well worth a visit

Burgers are really good. I had ham egg and bubble and squeak. Not so good b&s was soggy and tasteless. To much sauce over top. Sauce in a jug would be better to keep b&s crispy.

Delicious food, generous portions and not too expensive either. You'll enjoy table service from the very friendly and accommodating staff, plus a warm and cosy atmosphere. Silbury Hill and the West Kennet Long Barrow are nearby. Recommended!!

Had a very nice meal at the Waggon and Horses. Good parking options. Also nice hiking trails leading to the inn.

Great proper pub with friendly staff 👌

I had dinner here twice whilst holidaying at the farm across the road,on both evenings the food and the service were excellent and the pub charming,highly recommended.

Nice place on A4 west of Marlborough. Ideal to avoid parking in Marlborough which can be a nightmare.

Lovely pub grub and great service

friendly staff , lovely atmosphere delicious food and cant wait to return. highly recommend

I have to give 1 star otherwise I cannot comment on this place however in reality I wouldn't even give this place 1 star. We booked and staff stuck us in front of the entrance door. We asked for a different table and was told they were all reserved. We ended up walking out as staff just walked off and left us standing there. I will never return to place

Had a lovely lunch Easter Monday service was excellent friendly staff lovely food a very nice old pub

Lovely place and nice people. As a vegetarian I was happy with the options available and loved the cheesy burger 😋

A place with great atmosphere. Staff helpful and cheerful. Portions are generous.

Coffee was lovely. Food wasn't. Rice was chewy,almost Crunchy,they, "replaced it",with slightly softer. Curry tasted familiar, I later realised that it reminded me of Aldi Curry sauce that we use at home. The chicken was very dry. I ate half of the meal,paid up,and vowed never to return.

Gorgeous, traditional pub. Serving beautiful food. Can't wait to call in again in the warmer weather 😍

Excellent lunch. Plenty of options on the menu. Very good service from friendly staff

Went on mother's day the carvery was superb. Slightly pricey but the portions were more than enough. All nice and fresh the atmosphere and service was brilliant. Will definitely go again.

Be very careful in this pub. Rude staff that will bar you at the drop of a hat, you must keep the same glass if having more than one drink and if your anything to do with the hunting and shooting community you will be called a .murdering basxxrd.. would not go here again.

A picturesque old pub with very polite, efficient staff & service. The carvery is real home comfort food all cooked just right, tender meat, slightly al dente veg, good size Yorkshire's, crackling and GF option. Can't wait to book again but during the week to try they're weekday dinner menu.

Fantastic food, great atmophere! Friendly staff! Well done Waggon & Horses, top marks! 👏

A favourite place for a quiet pint or a romantic meal. Friendly staff and warm atmosphere. The food is amazing and can recommend the seafood linguine and chocolate brownie with salted caramel icecream.

Was extremely busy but staff found us a table for drinks, lovely and cosy and very popular.

Stopped for a drink, what a quaint pub! We'll definately be back to eat in the restaurant - they were fully booked when we arrived.

Met up with friend, really nice pub friendly staff great food reasonably priced, will definitely go back in the future.

All lovely..but rather cold inside on this very cold day

Very nice historical pub. Food was great and came quick, staff was very nice and helpful.

I are à lunch here that I regret not complaining about. Someone else was paying the bill and they did not want me to say anything. I ate fish pie, the description on the menu stated that the ingredients included cod, haddock, salmon and prawns in a parsley sauce topped with mashed potato. In fact the ingredients included some salmon in a white sauce topped with mashed potato. I think this shows a real lack of respect for the customer. I should have said something, but ultimately this shouldn’t happen.

We went for a christmas meal and food was amazing but the staff were really not in the festive spirit . We were a table of eight adult friends who all wanted to chat and laugh . i’m sure the staff were tired and had , had a long day but their attitude really spoilt what should have been an amazing evening ..This is a local restaurant to us all and would have loved to have gone back as the food was delicious but unfortunately i won’t and i’m sure most of the others in the group won’t either . i have tried to email the pub but i can’t find an email address and no messenger on facebook so this seems the only way to raise my concerns

Fantastic place to relax after a long walk on Cherhill. Staff are brilliant, food is brilliant and the beer is lush

Really lovely country pub with hearty food and good ales. Great option after exploring Avebury. Nice garden with a climbing frame. Book a table in the bar for a less formal vibe.

The new owners, have produced a great menu and changed the pub around to a better format. Great food, the best tbh, in the local area, will definitely be back !!

Lovely traditional pub, the food and service were both excellent. Would highly recommend visiting especially for the sticky toffee pudding!!

Great service,atmosphere and food also dog friendly will definitely come again 😊 🐕

A lovely pub and restaurant and possibly the nicest burger I’ve had for a very long time! Recommend and dog friendly too.

Wonderful Sunday lunch! We will be back.

I googled & found this pub & decided here it's going to be here. Upon arrival as I hadnt booked had a 2 hour wait. be. Worth the wait meals. It was that good I had 2 meals

Lovely pub, great location if you are exploring Avebury and the other nearby historic bits. Food was amazing, service great, dog friendly. My partner says "the best ham egg and chips I've ever had" I had the steak and ale pie, it was delicious. Thanks, we will deffo come back!

Been before and enjoyed but last 2 times meat is tough and veg is really undercooked. Best thing was roast potatoes. Such a shame but won't be returning

We were on the road and popped in to share a plate of scampi and chips which came with a very nice salad. Lots of customers enjoying a Sunday carvery.

We stopped impromptu for a drink as it was so hot and we had been walking...the food was nice, drinks refreshing and nicely presented....there was just something off with the gentleman serving that made us really uncomfortable..... hospitality is all about presentation from start to finish.... and giving the best customer service throughout... this didn't happen and was disappointing

Recomended by and friend for Sunday carvery, lovely pub and great food.

Beautiful old coaching inn nestled between some of Wiltshire's most iconic landmarks: Cherhill, Silbury Hill, Avebury and a myriad of barrows and standing stones. Come for the cosy stone and wood interior decor, stay for the high quality food served in ample portions.

Great lunch with friends. Fast service and very nice inside. Food was spot on. 👌

We had a lovely meal here today. The food was tasty and the service was quick! It has a beautiful interior and I loved reading about the history of the pub! We will try Sunday lunch here next!

Fabulous food, enjoyed a lunch on our anniversary as we were driving home. Plenty of parking and easy to locate.

Stopped for a pint , lovely old pub

Always love to come here, whenever family visit we always bring them here as its reliable and something for everyone!

Lovely little country pub near Avebury. Accommodated me as a walk in and they had a good menu with large and small plate options too. I had lovely fish and chips with a glass of white wine

Great food great Beer and great service from our waitress Lillie

Stopped for a Sunday roast on the way back from Glastonbury 🤠 I was hungry as a wolf 🐺 this is a carvery and the plate was massive 👏 it can be very busy. Best to book ahead

This place Sunday lunch OMG What a plater of food only just managed to finish it

Had a nice lunch with some friends at Waggon & Horses. There are lots of burger options to choose from and we enjoyed all the ones we chose. The portion sizes were generous and so a main dish filled us up and fuelled us for our afternoon walk in the countryside. The place is dog friendly and has clearly marked vegetarian and vegan options. There is also a good selection of beers including local ales. We came on a Friday lunch time and it was busy! The tables right at the back of the outdoor area code do with a bit of a clean as nature is creeping into that corner with spider webs and a bit of dirt!

Top notch food. Super service! Who could want anything more! 👌🏻

Nice food and friendly helpful staff.

Fantastic pub. We only popped in for drinks but it had a lovely atmosphere and food passing by looked excellent. We'll be back soon!

Lovely old country pub. As we came during the week we were able to park and get a table without needing a reservation. I understand that at weekends it’s very busy especially on Sundays as their Sunday Roasts are really popular so a reservation is a must. The food and service were excellent and prices were very reasonable. Please note that the pub is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays to avoid making the trip in vain.

Lovely beer garden with view of Silbury and delicious food. Had their amazing peri peri chicken - recommend highly.

Incredibly surprise to find it in our day journey around Salisbury. Best restaurant typical English style. I'll came back again.

An ok place for a quick meal. A nice beer garden as well.

Kalamari starter excellent!!! Followed by Scampi chips tartar + salad selection nice meal.

Excellent place for Sunday lunch carvery. Very accomading. Staff were very helpful and friendly. A very high standard of service.

Went here for a family meal on a busy Saturday evening. There was a good mix of options on the menu when choosing what to eat and the staff were helpful with our specific dietary needs. We were served quickly and food arrived promptly. A really enjoyable meal and evening.

Good food, pleasant staff, nice place.

Every time i travel to Avebury i have the lunch here. Great food. Nice place

Always a friendly place to visit for a quick drink or a meal. My dogs love it too.

Unfortunately we didn't get in for a drink or meal, it was a bit late and closed. Gorgeous old English building though!

Excellent carvery, good service.

Now that’s what I call a slap up Sunday Lunch, beautifully presented and very tasty 😋 the staff are very friendly and professional. You just have to go after walking around the standing stones in Avbery and maybe after, that is if you can still walk 🤣

Lovely historic pub bursting with atmosphere. Food was delicious and the staff were so friendly. Delightful lunch there!
