Waggon Horses - Abingdon

I made a reservation for dinner with friends during the week, but when we arrived, there was no table reserved and the pub was quite crowded with people drinking and playing pool. We had checked the menu online beforehand and were told that it would be the same on the day. However, there were some discrepancies - for example, the chicken bites did not have a choice of sauces as advertised online and the description of the food was different. Despite this, we decided to order the chicken bites. Unfortunately, when the food arrived, we were very disappointed. The fries looked pale and seemed to be similar to frozen oven chips from the supermarket, served in a plain white bowl. The breaded chicken bites were served in a separate white bowl and had no sauce as mentioned on the menu. When we asked for the sauce, the server seemed confused and eventually brought some sauce drizzled on top. The chicken bites were dry and tasteless, and the overall presentation of the food was lacking, with everything just placed on cheap white plates and bowls. It seemed that the quality of the food did not match what was shown on the website. Additionally, we had a dog jumping up at us while we were trying to eat. Overall, while the pub may be a good spot for drinks, the food was subpar. I wish I had taken photos to show the disparity between what was advertised online and what we were served.

The restaurant lacks any ambiance and feels like a cold pub. The service received a rating of 3, while the overall atmosphere was only a 1.

Very noisy and packed by families with kids and so many builders having a libation after work. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 2
