Sunday breakfast at the Waggon at Hale was unexpectedly good. Sorry about the photo! I couldn't help myself and tucked into my food before I gave any thought to writing a review. Whoops! Among other breakfast choices, there's a standard Waggon cooked breakfast for £8 and a larger version, the Ultimate, for £11. Both come with lashings of tea and coffee plus toast, all included in the price. I chose the Ultimate and I'm surprised that I finished it. The Waggon includes sausages, bacon, 2 eggs, mushrooms, beans, grilled tomato and a couple of hash browns. The ultimate swaps the hash browns for 3 slices of black pudding and huge portion of bubble & squeak! It made for quite a pile! The bubble & squeak is clearly home made. Whilst it lacked the outer crispiness that I long for in a great, fried bubble, it was properly made with decent potatoes and greens. The sausages were decent and the bacon remained juicy. No shoe leather bacon on your cooked breakfast here, thank goodness. It's just a shame that the egg yolks weren't runny, but that's me finding criticism where there should perhaps be none. Everyone agreed that the food was super, but the Ultimate was a little too big and that'll be a very rare comment from me! Accounting for portion size, quality and the price-included tea, coffee and toast, this is one of the best value breakfast locations in all of Medway. As a family run pub, one might expect their service to be genuinely friendly. I'm happy to report that it was, so that's another tick in the box for the Waggon at Hale. The pub is easy to find and has a small car park of its own. Parking is a little tight to the front, but overspill parking is available to the rear of the property. From the outside, the building looks like an old Tudor house. It's just a shame that it's less characterful inside. That said, it is clean, tidy and functional. We'll return for Sunday breakfast in the future. I'll just be sure to fast for a day before we do :-)
No negative comments at all. Lots of praise. Staff excellent customer service, atmosphere perfect, food excellent with compliments to the Chef. Highly recommended. Will not disappoint.
We have recently moved to the area and found this amazing family run pub.. our son loves all the animals and the park. We have had lots of lovely food here. To top it off we went to the Halloween Party today and it's was amazing! So much for the children to take part in! Pumpkin Carving, Face painting, games, dancing and much more! Great atmosphere for all! Children and adults!! Thankyou so much and we can not wait to attend many more events! We love it here! 😈
Absolute treasure of a place. Lovely environment, with welcoming friendly bar tender. Toilets were clean. Dog friendly. Lots of choices, opted for the flavoured gin, delicious. Food was a good selection, plenty of dishes on the menu. Food was great. Outside space is the best. A big seating area, a childrens play area. And the great addition of goats, pigs, rabbits, and chickens. A lovely afternoon out in Chatham
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
