Waggon and Horses in Arnold

Ah, Waggon and Horses – it's one of those pubs that really pulls at the heartstrings for me, tucked away in Nottingham with that classic British charm. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, it's fantastic for gatherings like wakes, where the landlady and her crew shine by creating a warm, inclusive atmosphere that leaves you feeling right at home. The food gets a thumbs up too, with people chatting about how it adds a nice touch to the day. But, and I hate to say it, there are a few bumps in the road; some tales of the landlord losing his cool and behaving in a way that sours the experience, or staff giving off a less than friendly vibe when you're just trying to grab a pint. It's a pity because the place has clearly made strides under the current owners, turning it into a community favourite, but those inconsistencies could put a damper on things if you're not lucky with your visit. Overall, I'd say it's worth popping in if you're after a proper pub feel, just keep an eye out and go in with realistic expectations – after all, no place is perfect, and it's the good bits that keep drawing folks back.
