The Waggon and Horses, Walsden, Calderdale

The Waggon and Horses, Rochdale Road, Walsden, near Todmorden OL14 7UA

A real local pub on the main road from Littleborough to Todmorden through the Calder Valley, serves a local clientele and has a good value pub grub menu. I gave it a low score when I first visited in 2013 because of its 'averageness' as a high street pub, not because it was unpleasant. On a visit in May 2018, I found it had become somewhat less average. It seems to have had a bit of a makeover, a couple of new features added, and the service is excellent.
 It is only four doors away from the Border Rose, a similar traditional pub.
The 590 Rochdale to Todmorden bus passes both pubs.
