We had our sons christening reception here, the room was big and is laid out perfect for these types of parties. They had an outdoor play area that’s perfect to keep the kids entertained! The staff are so lovely and helpful they even put out jugs of juice for the little ones. The hire was so affordable and the drinks are cheap too! Highly recommend and will 100% be booking here again for our next party! Thank you to all at the waggon!

The waggon & horses in my experience has always been a pleasant one. Regarding this as my local there’s always a great atmosphere and the people in there are always a joy to be around. Staff are always very comforting and go above and beyond to make sure your time here is as good as it can be. The landlord is also a pleasure to be around a proper gentleman. Would recommend to anyone in the Chester area to pop in even it’s for a quick pint, it will not disappoint!

I love the place. It's friendly and always has charity events on and supports the elderly, throws bingo and quiz events and has an open mic and jam night last Sunday of every month. It also sells non alcoholic beer for people who drive. They have a large function room at the back and a kids play area. They have darts and pool teams and outside seating area with overhead heating. Jane and Daza are great landlords and the staff are very friendly. 5 star from me

Fabulous Sunday roast dinner. We opted for a 2 course lunch starting with the ribs and chilli crispy beef, both were full of flavour and with the rib meat tender and juicy. We then had our carvery Sunday Roast and I have to say it one one of the best I have ever had. The beef and gammon were cooked to perfection, my grandson who is almost 1 could eat the beef it was that tender! Served with a large variety of vegetables, I just opted for the red cabbage, creamy leeks & cauliflower cheese, all full of flavour and accompanied with a good Yorkshire pudding and nice roast potatoes ( mash also available). I would recommend booking if you can but we did do a walk inn. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely look forward to dinning here again when in the area, it’s about 10 min drive from ChesterZoo too!

The place looks really nice. We didn’t eat here, but we each had a drink. The wine tasted really good, with the server recommending a nice Chardonnay that didn’t break the bank. It was a lovely drink. They also provided us with a nice house red. However, we didn’t realize that just a glass of the white was £16, and the table red was £13 a glass! This meant our bill for six people was £80. They added a 12.5% service charge, which I disagree with for just drinks. All in all, just for these tactics alone, I will not be going here again.
