| What a pleasure it is to venture back to the Waggon & Horses, now that the notoriously ill mannered landlady has left for pastures new - hard luck ‘The Three Magpies‘. Tis a warm welcome and a smile that now awaits you from the newly appointed landlady - Becks Rossiter. The Wadworth ale from the wood is very good so too is the food, though I have not eaten there yet but one tends to overhear the satisfied comments from customers as they settle their bill at the bar. I recommend a visit to this quintessentially English, mid 17th century inn, who’s claim to fame includes a mention in Dickens ‘Pickwick Papers‘; ghosts aplenty and its idyllic proximity to the Neolithic Avebury stone circle, West Kennet Long Barrow and the enigmatic Silbury Hill. willows - 15 Sep 2011 09:43 |
| We ate here today having been at Avebury and been widely advised to give the Red Lion a wide berth. Good selection of ~4 Wadworth beers (if you like Wadworth) and Stoford Press (definite thumbs-up!). Didn't have high expecations of the food, given the tourist trap location, but the fish platter (for two) was an utter bargain at £7-8 ish, and the banoffee pie (in a glass...banoffee sundae?) was nice too. Staff also very pleasant and service was very swift. Johnnytheboy - 14 Jun 2010 19:03 |
| Thought I'd give this place a go as the last two times I have tried to eat here it was packed, having said that one day was Mothers Day so I guess I was being a bit naive. Anyway, met with friends and although I thought I had booked it looks like I rang the wrong number so someone somewhere is waiting to cook for me if it's you then I apologise. Back to the Pub, the landlord was very accomodating and found us a table in his already busy hostelry (spelling) he has a dry sense of humour so some may perceive this as unwelcoming, I personally had a bit of a banter with him so happy with that. The food was good size portions and my only complaint would be that the fish pie I had was very dry as it was basically mash potato with a few prawns and a couple of bits of fish stirred in. Otherwise my two friends really enjoyed their meals and the prices were just right. I shall definately be back again. Brontie - 20 May 2010 17:49 |
| In mid Dec I booked for 12 people for lunch on Boxing day. A bit apprehensive considering some of the reviews. but the pub was really popular and busy. Pleasantly surprised to find private room laid up for us. Service excellent, good food hot, promptly and well served. Everything was perfect for a family get together. Will probably go back next year. davidmm - 27 Dec 2009 16:03 |
| Me and a couple of friends travelled through the snow to get here late yesterday afternoon for a beer. Good Wadworth ales on tap and a pleasant, warm welcome from the staff and customers in the pub. Had three fires going in the pub which was great. GreenWeasel - 22 Dec 2009 11:55 |
