Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Waggon & Horses

The Waggon & Horses has a single room with bare boards and some rather garish wallpaper. Walls also had lots of pictures of monkeys in suits. All tables were decked out for Valentine's Day for my visit with packets of Love Hearts on each, as well as on the bar. I was invited to take one. There was also a cake stand in the entranceway with some enticing cakes on display. The pub also has quite a lot of plants and greenery around. An unlit fireplace could be found to the left and a games room to the rear right with a dartboard, a couple of games machines and some board games. Background music was playing.

Service at the bar was friendly. Elgood's Cambridge Bitter is the regular cask ale. Other beers on cask were Fuller's London Pride & Saltaire Cascade. Elgood's Cherry Wheat Beer was available on keg, the cider was Inch's and coffees and teas were available from a machine behind the bar.

I can't say that my Cambridge Bitter was the finest of beers but then I've never been a particular fan of Elgood's. I did quite like this pub though.

This is a relatively recent addition to the Elggod estate in that they didn't have it thirty years ago. Inside it's a fairly small L shaped single room. There is a carpeted area to the left as you enter with a wooden floored area to the right where there is a dart board hidden behind a pillar. I didn't notice a TV. Further to the right is a covered patio / smoking area with what looked like a substantial garden further back. It was fairly quiet on my early Thursday afternoon visit.
The bar has five hand pumps which had one unused, Elgood's Black Dog, Cambridge & Beer Goggles and Bootleg Urban Fox. I went for the Beer Goggles (£3.60) which was in good condition and a reasonable pint.
I quite liked this pub and give it a strong 7.
