You enter The Wagon via the courtyard off Acton Square. In a stroke of absolute marketing genius, the facade on Church Walk presents a locked door and blacked out windows, giving every impression the pub's been abandoned. That's most definitely not the case however as, inside, you find a well presented bar and comfortable seating, with leanings towards the gastro end of the market.
4 pumps on offer, with 2 badged for Nethergate ales and 2 out of action this time. Both that I tried were in tip-top condition and reasonably priced by 2023 standards at just over £4 a pint. A regular keg selection extends to include Nethergate Craft Lager.
Not one for a lads night out, perhaps, but worth a visit for the day-tripper.

This former Greene King house was closed for some time but is now owned by the Nethergate brewery. It's a long narrow building and the same inside consisting of an open plan room with a small bar near the entrance. A narrow open area stretches down to the left of the bar while over to the right there is a smaller area.
The whole place seemed to be food orientated, certainly on my early Thursday afternoon visit.
The bar has four hand pumps which had one unused, Growler Bitter, White Park Oast House and Empire Autumn Pale. I went for the White Park beer (£3.50) which was in good condition.
I thought this place was OK but seemed a bit too food orientated.

A short stroll from the town centre, the W&H was easily the best pub on our Sudbury session by a country mile although finding it closed until 7.00 on a Saturday night nearly meant we nearly didn't get there at all. Entrance is through a courtyard and glazed conservatory and from the central bar a series of extended rooms branch off. The main room has sewing machine tables and possibly 2 of the smallest snugs in any pub. At the far end is a separate pool table section. The other direction appeared to be more of a dining area although it was pretty full. Several old adverts and signs adorn the walls and these are complemented by displays of old Oxo and Colmans Mustard tins, miniatures, cigarette cards and other nick nacks. The ubiquitous Greene King IPA was supplemented by 2 guest beers (Old Hooky and Golden Glow on our trip). Good service and friendly locals – we ended up staying for much longer than we planned which is always the sign of a particularly good pub. Highly recommended.
