Great country pub warm and inviting. Stands in the small village of South Reston not far from one of the rare hedgehog sanctuary. The Waggon and Horses serves great ales. Food is served every day and is of a very high quality. Great open fires greet you with a mixture of modern and new a great 50 seater dining room is located to rear where booking is advisable. There is a shop on the far left which opens at 8.30am for newspapers and convenience store items.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
A 1930s Tudor-style roadhouse built for Hewitt's Brewery of Grimsby, as can be seen from the stained and leaded windows in each of the original front rooms. That three-room layout is still clearly discernible but wide arches have replaced the doors (and with a puzzling change of level to the right). Original features include the oak panelling throughout, the oak-fronted bar counter and the Tudor-style stone-effect fireplace in the bar - but the bar back may be a reconstruction. A large rear extension houses the dining room.
1930's Tudor style roadhouse built for Hewitt's of Grimsby with stained and leaded windows advertising this fact in each of the three main front rooms, lounge, public bar and smoke room. Colourful, tile-hung exterior with a portico incorporating wooden barley twist columns. The original three room layout is clearly visible but now there are wide arches between the rooms, with a puzzling change of level to the right.. Oak panelled throughout it retains the original oak-fronted bar counter, rebuilt (?) bar back and a Tudor stone-effect fireplace in the bar. Large extension at the rear housing a dining room. The toilets have been removed from the left hand side. The small room that now occupies the far left part of the pub now is home to ‘Waggon Stores’, a small shop and newsagents.
