Very busy when we called in for a quick break from the madness of the M1. As I was driving I didn't take much notice of the beers although my brother did say his very good! At least 4 guest ales on. Nice outdoor area. I'd happily call again.

Not a great deal for me to add as the two reviews from 2017 pretty much sum the place up. A modern Spoons with nice modern décor, open plan but feels like a bit of a warren with different seating areas. A pleasant patio to the rear is accessed through what feels like a dining area. This had a nice pergola with greenery growing up it and in the summer almost feels like you are abroad.
At the bar there are two banks of five hand pumps, one bank contained all the guest ales and the other contained the usual Spoons trio plus two ciders. My half of Osset Summer Fruits set me back the grand sum of £1.15.
I did discover lipstick (not mine) on my glass as I had almost finished my drink. This did not impress me. But otherwise a pleasant Spoons and a decent selection of real ales at a time when I have noticed many other Spoons have been cutting back on the choice by duplicating beers across the banks.
The bogs were nice and clean (and as is traditional for a Spoons, upstairs) although only one of the two hand driers was working (now you know I am a good boy and wash my hands).
This and the Commercial are really the only pubs that have tempted me in Chapeltown; they are both very different pubs but both worth a visit if you are a real ale drinker.

The Waggon & Horses is an original pub but dating from 2013 as a Spoons. It's a roughly square room with what looks like a new conservatory area at the rear with a paved patio behind. As tends to be the case with newer Spoons the fixtures and fittings are a bit better than average. It was fairly quiet on a Thursday afternoon. Thankfully it's not a Lloyds No 1 so the lighting rig and idiot booth are long gone.
The bar has ten hand pumps but the choice could have been better consisting of the JDW Trio Of Doom with Abbot & Doom Bore doubled, Ossett Snake Mocha & Big Red, Saltaire Cascade Pale, Sheffield Crucible Best and a cider. I went for the Snake Mocha and also the Vindaloo from the Curry Club both of which were fine.
I thought this was a decent Spoons.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Wagon & Horses (JD Wetherspoon)
Nice-looking pub in a prominent position on the Market Place, decently refurbished and extended by Wetherspoons. Very pleasant light interior with a mix of modern furniture in the various seating / dining areas. Small but attractive rear patio garden. Offers a few extra features such as a very welcome real fire on a cold winter's day and weekly mother and toddler morning. Reasonable range of real ales from the two banks of five handpumps, and my pint of Snake Mocha stout from Ossett (£2.65, as in the premium bracket) was in excellent shape. Worth a stop if in the area.

I was here the night after this pub reopened as a Wetherspoons, and it was very busy as might be expected. There were probably twice as many people in here as in the previous four pubs put together, but service was prompt and enthusiastic. We managed to find a space to put down our glasses and look around, but it's hard to get a feel for the building when it's full almost to bursting - and it's a big building. There are 10 hand pumps on the bar, and I noted the usual 'Spoons offerings of GK Abbot, Sharps Doom Bar and Ruddles, plus two ciders and guests including Chantry Diamond Black from Rotherham, Concertina Bengal Tiger from Mexborough, plus Wychwood Hobgoblin, Exmoor Gold and Caledonian Deuchars. Perhaps slightly disappointing to find only two local beers on, but that's perhaps a little harsh and not really a criticism. I tend to pass this sort of pub by if there's a decent one in the neighbourhood, and with the Commercial just down the road I would need quite a bit of persuasion to come in here again.

The Waggon is a large looking pub that is in the middle of Chapeltown next to a busy road junction.
The best thing about this pub is the outside has once inside things go downhill very quickly,there is one very large room that is L shaped,there were two raised areas one to the left near the entrance and one to the front right these had tall tables and chairs,the main room had very few seats with the rear being completly devoid of any seats,this is probably because there was a DJ rig and people probably dance in this area.
There were no real ales on the bar and the keg option was Tetley smooth crap which it was.
To make matters worse there were kids running around like they do in a playground.
This is the first pub you see if arriving in Chapletown from Sheffield on bus or train it is probably best avoided,i only did the pub because i like doing new pubs.
