Found 6 live sports pubs in Wantage
Abingdon Arms
87 Grove St, Wantage OX12 7BH
A slightly out of town locals' local with darts, dominoes, children's garden and a spacious car park. Architectural merit in living quarters. Former Greene King pub, now owned by Hawthorn Leisure, under new management.
Bear Hotel
Market Place, Wantage OX12 8AB
Old traditional coaching inn on the Market Square, served by a single long downstairs bar, with a few tables outside in the covered cobbled passage once used by the horses. Acquired by Arkell's in 2006, the pub has undergone an extensive refurbishment. Food good value, arrives via a devoted small lift. Disabled access. No parking available. Groups, for example, walkers, should call before arrival.
Bell
38 Market Pl, Wantage OX12 8AH
Town centre pub providing panoramic views of Wantage citizens going about their business. Formerly two separate bars, these were opened out a few years ago to create a very long single bar, partitioned into three eating and drinking areas. The emphasis is now definitely on restaurant rather than pub trade. Also features live bands.
Cellar Bar (Bentleys) Post Office Vaults
Market Pl, Wantage OX12 8AT
Formerly the cellar of the pub, the Post Office Vaults, now closed and turned into a small shopping complex. Access to this brick-built cellar is down a steep flight of steps from street level. Ceiling height is seven feet and less in places, with painted beams. Bare stone floors, painted floorboards and walls decked with reproductions of old 20th century adverts complete the decor. TV and juke box compete for the loudest noise, but the highlight of the pub is the Pronto! lottery system. Bar food on Sundays.
King Alfred's Head
31 Market Place, Wantage OX12 8AH
This listed pub has an attractive frontage just off the Market Place. ideally placed for relaxing after shopping, while admiring the variety of ancient architecture which makes up Wantage town centre. Inside is spacious; unusually, the open-plan design has been reversed by adding some internal divisions; the rear, once a car park, is now a large courtyard garden. The pub serves excellent, freshly made food using local produce where possible and holds barbecues at weekends throughout the summer.
Lord Nelson
78 Charlton Rd, Wantage OX12 8HL
Situated on a roundabout on the A417, about 2/3 of a mile to the east of the town centre, the Lord Nelson is branded as a 'Hungry Horse' outlet by Greene King and consists of a large, open plan split-level restaurant grafted on to the original building. It is primarily a cheap and cheerful eatery, with a comfortable bar area reached down a flight of stairs. However, the disabled are well catered for, being provided with a wheelchair lift to get from one level to another. The beer range remains the same, normally there are no guests but it does compete on price. Large parking area.
