The Waggon & Horses

A Free House in Cottenham

Well-kept real ales, an open fire, and a welcome that hasn’t changed in a hundred years.

Step inside

The house

The corner where the village stops by.

The Waggon & Horses, Cottenham is an authentic free house with no big-brewery strings, just beer we believe in and a fire that’s always lit when the nights draw in. We’re a small, friendly local with a handful of tables, so pull up a stool, settle in for a hand of cards, and stay for one more.
