Waggon & Horses in Huntingdonshire

We booked for a Christmas Eve meal with my elderly parents. We were on the way in the car when someone from the pub phoned to cancel due to the vague reason of kitchen issues.. I asked were they phoning everyone and he said just us. When we drove past the pub looked busy it didn't look like a pub with no food. We tried various other pubs in St Neots no luck as no walk in's on Christmas Eve, even takeaways said over an hour and 30 wait, went home very, very let down and disappointed. I had to cook a very late meal.

Went for Xmas day dinner, Soup perfect, main course not so good, very salty, parsnips cremated, Roasted potatoes tasteless, one slice of carrot, Brussels like bullets, dining area not festive, just 2 crackers on the table. There were no condiments on the table, Short staffed but the 2 that served were lovely. Whole thing wasn't thought out very well. Very disappointed.

I booked a table for eight for Christmas eve meal the food was not cooked very well at all my daughter in law's smothered chicken came with out the BBQ sauce on and she had to ask for it to be put back on it as it should have it on already my sister ordered lasagna but ten minuets after the order went in the lady came out and said what else do you want as we haven't got any lasagna not we're sorry we run out would you like to choose something else I had scampi and chips and mushey peas but food had been under the heat warmer too long And was dry my wife had fish and chips but it wasn't much then the deserts my granddaughter's ordered strawberry cheesecake as per menu with strawberry ice cream but they brought out blackcurrant cheesecake which they didn't eat as they don't like it the man serving was running off his feet in my opinion you should either get more staff on a Christmas eve or don't serve food just stick to selling beer but as they say vote with your feet I shall not be booking there for next Christmas eve

I went for a festive meal last night at wagon and horses. No Christmas music going all we got was a cracker The meal was poor and had no taste, frozen roast potatoes, frozen stuffing, only carots and burnt fried Brussels sprouts for veg well as for the pigs in Blankets they was so burnt the bacon was cremated and crumbled on cutting. My prawn cocktail had 3 prawns haha 😄 For £21.95 For a two course festive meal well I wish I'd gone to weatherspoons. Also charged for two festive meal but my friend didn't want a starter and they ran out of my friends pudding but still charged for two courses.

Had a lovely time, nice and relaxing, would certainly recommend

Nice, friendly local pub. Warm fire, nice selection of drinks and food. Dog friendly.

Good food reasonably priced Nice local atmosphere

Went back after having a fantastic meal a month ago. Only this time, the food was nowhere near as good as it was before. I had a chicken platter, the onion rings were burnt, and the chicken wings were overdone, so you couldn't eat them. my partner went for the safe option of a burger, but one of the patties was burnt on one side yet uncooked on the other. Shame because the atmosphere is good and normally a great place to eat.

Great chips, Guinness tastes good and the interior is well finished

Took my Uncle for his 79th birthday. Booked well in advance. Upon arrival was seated in the bar, nit resteraunt, under the TV, playing the Chelsea game. Table was surrounded by guys on stools, jeering n commenting on the game. Was impossible to hold a conversation. Food eventually arrived, minus two side orders, which eventually arrived as we were finishing our meals! Waited almost an hour for plates to be cleared/ offered the dessert menu.. The waitress was very polite & apologetic, & the restaurant looked lovely, from what we saw from the bar. Unfortunately the whole experience ruined my elderly Uncle & Aunts day & for that reason I will definitely not be teturning

The second time we've visited for midweek lunch and we will definitely go back again. The pub has good parking, a nice atmosphere with friendly service, a good lunchtime menu at a reasonable price.

They have a good menu and food is very good. You may have to be patient as they only had one person who was taking orders and serving drinks.

Food was great apart from they forgot to put stuffing on my plate .the service was slow.the Atmosphere wasn't great my auntie booked the table weeks ago yet we got put in the bar where they was watching football which was not good at all they said the restaurant was fully booked yet they booked it weeks ago.

Had Sunday roasts. 4 had roast beef and it was very fatty and no horseradish! Who serves beef with no horseradish when there’s a Tesco Express over the road! Served adults meals first then kiddies meals last on very hot plates, wheres the sense in that! Really disappointed with the meals.. Puddings however were very good.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Beautifully cooked and plenty of it. Waitress was lovely and very helpful. Highly recommend.

I had my daughter’s baby shower in the waggon and horses the whole service was amazing from the bar staff Alex and Olivia couldn’t do enough for us to the chef Charlie. We all enjoyed our food one of our friends had steak she asked for medium was cooked to how she like it. Was the most perfect place to hold a party obviously not massive pub but to Accommodated us brilliantly couldn’t Recommend the waggon af horses enough great pub great staff ❤️

Lovely place staff here were brilliant and the food was delicious

Quiet today both in the bar and restaurant.

We had lunch here and the food was amazing and so was the service. I had chips and mozzarella dippers. Highly recommend this pub !

Food was very delicious and the staff are very friendly.

Highly recommend! Amazing and quick service, dog friendly which is great. Definitely coming back, the food was delicious!

Lovely food with the family, atmosphere was welcoming and as were the staff. A very well looked after pub and community, i’d recommend, to come here out of most places in St Neots

Atmosphere was nice and the waitress was very sweet, I ordered fish and chips. The chips and garden peas were nice, the fish arrived burned and nearly black, I tried to find an edible bit but struggled. I let the kitchen know, nothing was done so I'm guessing this was normal. My partner had pie and mash, the mash was really good!

Great pub , nice to see it surviving, But sad to see customers walking out going to the George n Dragon because of slow service, only one barman on a Saturday & pub was busy .

Charity day to raise much needed funds.

Dog friendly. Good food. Good service. Friendly atmosphere. Would definitely return. Could maybe do with some more vegetarian options on the menu for a couple of my vegetarian family members but my mixed grill was great 👍

Some great lunchtime deals, good food and some nice beers.

On arival i waited 20 minuites to be served. I beleive the name of the server was called phill i overheard from another customer. Half way through making my order he takes a phone call leaving my beer going flat ontop of the drip tray. I hurd so many good reviews about this plaice and we traveld over 35 miles to come. We asked if they were serving food and was told that the kitchen isnt open for ankther 45 mins. We could see the chef in his chef whites pouring shots behind the bar. Very unprofesional. Our server then came back to us after coming of the phone. We bought a round of drinks that wasnt cheap once paying we didnt even get a thank you. Handed over our last drink and walked away scratching his hair. He hasnt trimmed his nails and they were black and discusting. After much thought we decided take our bussiness else where. The menu looked so exciting but our experince turned our heads. We wish to return but also hopefuly we get a better reciption. We felt more of a burden than a welcome guest!

For the price, portion sizes very small. Even I few more chips would have helped!

Had Sunday lunch here today. As returning customers we thought it would be good. The lack of customers eating should've been a warning, especially on a bank holiday. Anyway. Ordered roast beef. Which was extremely tough. So asked the extremely overworked girl to possibly change it. She returned with steak knives! And said the "chef" to try them! Ropey beef is ropey beef. It doesn't matter how you cut it. No discount, no apology. We WERE regular customers. Not anymore. I think they've changed owners, or at the very least lost a decent chef. So an expensive plate of vegetables. No wonder it was empty in there. Avoid!

Good honest food and a great pint. Recommended.

Delicious Sunday roast, premium experience, friendly and helpful staff, good service. The food was tasty and of good quality, desserts were very well made, I would recommend, one of the best places in Eaton Socon.

Solid pub with good prices. Absolutely boiling inside mind, make sure to turn the heating off over summer!

Travelled some 100 miles Rochester Kent to meet relations who had travelled down from Louth Lincoln 100 miles. Had been before and good. Not this time, ordered chicken roast, scampi, burger and steak pie. Where do I start. Roast cold and “pigs in blanket and stuffing missing, scampi (cheap version) overcooked, which came with “tartare sauce” not true, came with a concoction of garlic, mayo and something else, steak pie, taste ok, small, would guess NOT homemade but very bland and not over generous with mash, burger, dry and overcooked. Staff great and we should have at the time complained, but we did not, but that does not excuse the quality of food supplied. Was not of good standard. Would I go again, no, would I recommend, no. We expected a seamless meet with good food. .

Popped in for dinner and to watch football. Food was average. Unfortunately the tv reception in the main area was very poor. Pixelating continuously. Staff tried to sort but not to be. Left 15 mins after the start. staff and locals friendly. Shame about the TV 🙁

Simon and Kerry Smith are great and very family friendly warm pub, with great outdoors seating great for summer months and gatherings.

Good service, excellent food and welcoming atmosphere. We will be back!

Phil is the boy! Top notch service!

We visited the Waggon & Horses as a party of 12 for an evening meal. Everyone said the food was really good - meals ranged from lasagne; mixed grill; steak & ale pie. Very nicely cooked and service was great! The staff, especially Phil was brilliant; really polite, helpful and great customer service!! Would highly recommend and would definitely return if and when in the area.

History repeats itself. There is no need to go too far. Remind of 1965 UK racial segregation occurred in pubs, workplaces, and other commercial premises. (where certain facilities did not allow non-white customers). Segregation is also operating in the 20th Century (Buckingham Palace is not allowing certain professions to those “non-white”). And yet, the British Empire practised segregation (where they segregated people living under British Law depending on their colour and race). I am not here lecturing, but to remember that still might happen in this century. In rural pubs (only a 1-hour drive from London to be fair) where locals easily recognize each other while unfamiliar faces as easily spotted. I was queuing like everyone else. The bartender was serving, no rush and no need to rush. I approached the counter. The bartender came to my side once, but I did not say a word. He was working I wasn’t. He asked who was waiting. A young girl pointed out that other customers at the other far corner of the counter were there first. He eventually came back. He asked the two girls who wanted to be served. The young girl said she was the next. I pointed out that I was there first. I saw her coming in. She wasn’t comfortable with what I said. I felt the need to justify myself and said again that I saw her entering the pub. Her answer expressed her disappointment. The bartender served me quickly with no drama overall. A second after I made the payment and collected my drink, he served the two girls and said to them “I am sorry for that”. I left the counter thinking, “Sorry for what? ” Why what happened?” Did that “sorry” mean “sorry for what happened”? To be honest, what happened is that he first saw me at the counter, and he didn’t serve me but I wasn’t annoyed by that. What happened is that he apologised (because I jumped the queue?). That comment it made me feel like I was the one who “asked to be served first”. His “sorry for what happened” sounded like: “She wanted to be served first, locals won't act that way”. That also confirms to me his limited experience with crowds if is not the usual group of folks. Crowded pubs in London have no time for unnecessary comments and they are not bothered with who to serve first, they serve full stop. If I could do that again, I would simply let the young girl first. Above all, we are all going to the pub because we want a little moment of joy and distraction. That comment ruined everything.

Unfortunately the choice of this restaurant on a Bank Holiday Saturday evening was not a good choice. I am not critical of the food itself, that was really quite good. The service however was very slow and it was apparent the business was understaffed with only one waitress available, having said that she did her best. The other problem was that the evening had also been set aside for a Karaoke and the sound was so loud my Decibel meter on my smart phone registered 105 db's, which is at a dangerous level. The meal was good but the surroundings left a lot to be desired. My recommendations are that if you want a noisy meal this is the place for you. If you want a quiet dinner, forget it on a Saturday evening.

Good food, good beer & friendly staff. Very quiet last night, quite unusual and the've lost their chef. Still worth a visit though. Still no chef but it remains a good venue for a pint and the prices are good.

1st time in, since change of ownership... Lovely food... Recommend

Visited here tonight for the first time and the food was nice but not a lot we left hungry, service was really slow there was only two people trying to serve food and drinks, waited for a bit after our meal and wasn’t asked for any more drinks etc so I asked at the bar and they said the chef is gone home kitchen closes at 5 even tho we had booked the table for 5 the chef was still there and went and done the deserts which we were really appreciated of, no communication of the kitchen closing or anything, wouldn’t have minded if they had just told us instead of us waiting around especially with a toodler it’s hard

Great food, friendly staff How ever, sitting outside is hit and miss depending on where you sit as there are ash trays where you sit to eat. I thought there was a designated area away from the seating for smokers but obviously not.

4 of us ordered food Had a 50 minute wait for someone to take our food order. Steak was ordered medium/ rare but came out like the sole of a boot Unable to eat . Complained but staff did NOTHING to make it right Staff were extremely rude towards the end of our meal Moving tables around us then moving our drinks while we were still drinking Extremely rude

Had to wait 50 minutes before food order was taken. Steak was ordered medium/rare but arrived like the sole of a boot . Unable to eat. Complained to a member of staff, nothing was done to rectify the matter . Staff then moved tables around us and moved our drinks while we were still drinking Extremely rude

Great for a lunchtime snack and drink. Friendly staff good selection of beers and food at a reasonable price. Ask about the lunchtime special deal.

Great food and nice atmosphere. Pleasantly surprised to find this pub. Definitely worth going for a meal and a pint. Lovely dessert also.

Both ordered Mixed Grill with extra sides of Onion Rings and Peppercorn Sauce. The meat was cooked as requested and a very well presented Mixed Grill. The Onion Rings were really lovely home cooked with lots of flavour. All washed down with a Beer. Well worth the price, but a word of warning, go early as we entered an empty pub within an hour it was full . Which I think is always a sign of good food.

Lovely pub , even though it was very busy ,the barman Phillip was very helpful as my wife was in a wheelchair , he identified that it was difficult for us to order , so came over and did everything from the table , made our visit very easy , thank you

First time in this pub a good welcome and great service and good food the down side was not enough chips with the fish.

The chips were lovely but not many on the plate

Lovely place, very nice food however, portions are small, excessively so and the wait staff are less than friendly or forthcoming.

Had lunch with my daughter Friday 1st March, first time have visited. Excellent food and friendly service. Will definitely be back soon.

First time visiting and wont be the last, food was delicious and service was excellent.

This was our second visit to the Wagon and Horses and we will go back again. Lunch was delicious. The chips are wonderful and prices very good.

First visit, more than impressed . Five stars *****

Valentines meal with my lady. Beautifully placed tables dressed in rose petals and real roses, love heart T lights. Beautiful 3 course meal. XX

I had a very nice lunch there, like always. The food was delicious and the staff very friendly 😊 I'll be back again, for sure!

Myself and my family were lucky to have our Christmas Dinner here the food was excellent atmosphere great and the service impeccable.

Had Sunday lunch. Roast pork was very good, very poor veg and roast potatoes all swimming in to gallons of gravy. Why? What is the reason for piling everything up into a mound on the plate. Such a shame great service from the waitress and nice dinning room.

Had a lovely pre Christmas meal here.

It was ok but because it was Xmas day it was noisy when some of the patrons left it did become better.

Too many children and dogs for my taste. Service not slick enough.

Lovely meal as always, great atmosphere

Festive menu 2023. Our food was great!

Had a lovely 2 course Christmas Dinner and a few drinks and it was spot on. Great food. Good atmosphere. Great selection of drinks. Will definitely be back.

We had the Festive 2 course meal - the Turkey Dinner and Sticky Toffee pudding. We had sooo much meat on our plate which was very impressive and goodness, the gravy was phenomenal. We were served quickly, after preordering beforehand - and we were checked on lots! Very happy with our time here and will 100% be returning next year :)

Myself and two friends went in for a Christmas catch up, had the festive two courses - Turkey and all the trimmings followed by sticky toffee pudding both were delicious! We were unaware but they had an event on with a santa visit, live music and christmas carols, an overall fab evening.

14 of us went in for dinner today , great service food was the best 14 empty plates what more could you ask for staff amazing management unbelievable will definitely go back

Another fantastic meal, food was lovely, we were a large party and all food came out together, can't fault it. Great staff. Very welcoming family pub. Lovely to see it so busy. Will be back soon. 😋

We were here with a group for a company outing service was great - thanks Alicia !! We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food !!!

Took my husband here for his birthday. Pre booked. Went to order our dinner at the bar and overheard a local and the barman complaining about us and that we were sat in their table, even when we had been told to sit there. Barman joined in with the complaints! Service was rude, with locals/regulars favoured over us long before we were even noticed. It was a miserable experience. We had only gone there to support a new and local establishment. They’re clearly not interested and there is no loyalty to this kindness. We don’t recommend.

Awful experience. Has a roast dinner that came out lukewarm. Frozen roasts and Yorkshire pudding with a ready cooked small chicken quater. The vegetables were the only thing freshly cooked. Once we finished our meal, it took ages for the plates to be cleared, not offered more drinks or dessert and we then waited 20 minutes before we went to the bar and asked to pay as we weren’t prepared to wait for more drinks and dessert. I felt sorry for the young lad who came on shift and seems to be running the bar and clearing tables. Shameful management of this pub

Great experience, lovely staff, would 100000% recommend to anyone, great service great food fantastic atmosphere!

Best breakfast ever !! Highly recommended Eggs Benedict and full breakfasts all round. Staff and service where great too

Great food and great staff as always! Nice quick service with a happy and positive waitress. All of us got what we wanted with no problems, we will definitely be coming back again!

I had a brilliant night, food was amazing, really recommend.

Food was terrible. Such a shame as it used to be great.

Service was abysmal, will not be eating there again any time soon.

Had wings dry and tasteless nachos served cold with bottled squirty cheese, and tacos dry with no flavour or substance. Would not recommend to eat its just worst quality and tasting fast food at a premium price! Shame as pub is nice.

The abysmal service meant that a family and friends lunch meal was ruined by the length of time the food took to arrive. Best part of 3 hours from ordering drinks then food, to getting the bill while dessert was being finished. The food suffered by being kept warm or being delayed, the wine was warm not chilled, and those not drinkiing the wine only managed to get 2 drinks served in those 3 hours. What was annoying was seeing others being served before us despite them turning up after us and us already being there for over an hour before our starters were served. It should also be noted this venue is not wheelchair accessable, there are steps both inside and outside. I will not recommend this venue to anyone.

Have not been to the wagon and horses for over 10 years , we decided to come out for lunch with our granddaughter, we had 2 mixed grills , lasagne and fish and chips , I can honestly say everything about the visit was excellent, many thanks to the chef who done a perfect job but the waitress who could not have been more hospitable or helpful many thanks to everyone there we will definitely be back.

Three of us, two steak sandwich and a fish finger sandwich. Steak was cooked to perfection (one rare one medium rare) no gristle just soft well cooked meat. Fish finger sandwich wasn’t fish finger more like a piece of cod in batter…lovely crispy batter. All three were yummy with salad in the sandwiches plus skin on chips! Also friendly welcoming staff.

Watch out for low ceiling. We got drinks and went to sit down. Found a table. Only to be told by rude waitress if your not having food you can't sit here. The pub are half empty. Wouldn't be visiting again.

Visited for Sunday lunch. Typical menu. Fantastic food. Excellent service and very accommodating.

Sunday roast, very nice in good price, meat was perfectly prepared, the same veggie, 6 stars for chef, well done.

Poped in for a quick Sunday lunch. Very nice

Decent ‘pub fare’. Steak pie, chips, peas and gravy! Good price, good atmosphere and good service. Went in for a work lunch and served promptly. Staff were all friendly and attentive. Recommend.

We ordered from the lunch menu, 5oz gammon, as we only wanted a small portion being OAPs. Apparently they gave us from the normal menu, I couldn't eat all my & gave it to my husband. Then of course the bill came & my husband queried it. The manager said you ate it didn't you so you must pay full price. How rude. No we didn't make a fuss. Also the fairly new waitress forgot to order my meal 5oz gammon which I forgave her, i still got the larger portion but by the time i took the fat off would of been 5oz anyway. So apart from having to wait & everyone else slowed down their eating for me. Very disappointed. Won't be going there again.

One of the worst Sunday meals we have ever had!! It was my husband’s birthday celebration with family and it was terrible! After an hour wait for our food, only was served after complaining then we was served our meals was dried up and obvious reheated in microwave, then salt and pepper put on the meals to give some flavour! Do not think we will ever eat in this establishment ever again. Certainly would of been appreciated to acknowledge the reviews you receive.

Lovely pub, good beer choices 😊

I enjoyed a light lunch here. Good range of beer. Friendly service.

Good old fashion pub food ,good service and not pushy

Food was amazing, reasonably priced. Loved the outside on a Friday night, looks really good with the ropes and lights. Also, kids license is untill 9 which was really good. It allowed my daughter to join :) update - this time I didn't go for food but everything was still great.

Always satisfied with each visit.

Excellent in every way. Highly recommend

This is one of those pubs that you feel at home in! Love the warm welcome, variety of food and evening entertainment it offers. Also very recently has added a lush Brunch menu and an extended outside seating area ready for the summer !

Excellent food choices and quality. New beer garden to the rear tastefully done and to a good quality. Plenty of seating available.
