The Waggon Inn

🍻 Pubs are more than places to eat and drink.

They’re where friendships are made, milestones are celebrated, local sports teams gather, and communities come together.

Yet many pubs and hospitality businesses are struggling under rising costs, leaving less money to invest in staff, customers and the communities they serve.

That’s why we’re supporting and calling on the Government to reduce hospitality VAT from 20% to 10%.

A lower VAT rate would help protect jobs, support local businesses and keep pubs at the heart of our communities.

If pubs matter to you, please add your name to the petition and help make a difference.

✨ Step Back to 1882… Without Leaving Your Table! ✨

In 1882, local stone merchant Joseph Bradbury swapped stone for ale and established The Waggon Inn on High Street, Uppermill… and we think that’s worth celebrating.

So we’ve created something special 👇

💷 2 Courses for just £18.82 (a little nod to the year it all began 😉)
🍷 Or go all in with 3 Courses for £23.95

Delicious dishes, proper value, and a bit of Waggon history on every plate.

⏰ Available:
Wednesday & Thursday – 12–3pm & 5–8pm
Friday – 12-3pm

Great food. Great value. A little slice of 1882.

❄️ Opening Hours Update ❄️

As we settle into the heart of January and February, we’re switching to our winter opening hours for these cosy months.

🕯️ Closed Mondays & Tuesdays
☕ Our weekend breakfasts are hibernating until spring, when they’ll return bigger, better and worth the wait.

The rest of the week, we’ll be here keeping things warm, welcoming and well fed.

✨ Booking is easiest online, so grab a table and join us for a snug catch-up by the fire.
