I'm a very hands-on landlady, you are most likely to find me cooking up a storm in the kitchen. On the occasions I venture front of house to serve on the bar, I do love a friendly chat with my customers. I come from a family of publicans, and have worked in many aspects of the hospitality industry for over 25 years!
We also have a range of tasty cocktails available by the glass - we even have Espresso Martini and Passion Fruit Martini on tap! Our gin range is constantly evolving, we'll be shocked if you can't find a favourite amongst our varied selection! In addition, we have a wide range of popular lagers, beers, and ciders both draft and bottled, plus up to 3 real ales on tap.

As a family-friendly establishment, we do ask our guests to please keep tops on in the garden, and be respectful to those around them.

I have eaten here afew times. The food is pretty bad instant mash not properly mixed so nice tasty powder lumps. This came with the winter warmer lamb shank if i am paying premium prices i expect real mash.
I give up with the food now as i have never had a good meal here.
The bar side is good fast service and good beer.

Food was lovely and decorated amazing for Halloween, absolutely packed and couldn't move much inside to take my 3 year old to the toilet. Parking available but someone selfish parked in the way out when asked at the bar they said there wasn't another way out which after speaking to someone else having the same problem they turned round and we found another exit. Would go again but doubt for a function again

Second time I've been and second time the food was terrible. I only ordered 2 kids meals and had to wait over 45mins for a mac and cheese and a Cheeseburger. The burger bun was so dry it was literally falling apart. Asked for another bun and it was exactly the same. 2 kids meals and 3 cokes for almost £20 I would have definitely expected better.… Such a shame however I must give them credit where its due the play park is a great addition for the kids as are the animals on site which you can buy food for (which we did on both occasions) but the food really let's this place down.

Fantastic food as usual in our great local pub to celebrate Nicks birthday. Staff as usual friendly and chatty and can't do enough for you. Especially Harry the newbie. Sorry Harry but thanks so much for your service its not easy being new.

Got a mixed meat roast dinner delivery for £15 each looks like a child's portion you literally get 1 teaspoon of cauliflower cheese each. the yourshires way to dense. meat and veg have no flavour no seasonings had been used at All. frozen potatoes that was cooked via a hair dryer save yourself the time and don't bother

Nice food, no moody atmosphere. Got goats, chickens and pigs to feed and see, no touching though. Kids play area, open fire, couch seating and table seating. Toilets are clean, staff are friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back 👍

There is a large variety of options on the menu at a very competitive price and the food is delicious every time. Come along and find out for yourself, I highly recommend Emma and all the staff at The Waggon at Hale

Excellent food and beverages at reasonable prices, all served by helpful and pleasant staff. Dog friendly inside and out, parking to the front and rear of the of the site, rear parking pass the front of the main pub entrance then to the left. Well maintained and modern interior, with plenty of outdoor seating and a small domestic zoo, goats, chickens etc. Wheelchair friendly via the outdoor entrance, good breakfast menu, good portions, well worth a visit

There is a vegetarian and vegan option for breakfast which I was super impressed with (vegan pictured). The service was far from attentive but we were luckily in no hurry. The food was superb and the place is amazing for kids with the playground and animals. Will return!

Great local pub. It has a small petting zoo with chickens, roosters ,goats ,pigs and ducks. The kids had a lot of fun while we were enjoying a cold beer in the beer garden. Defenetly recommend this pub if you have kids.
