Waggon & Horses in Dudley

Ah, the Waggon & Horses, what a gem in Cradley Heath! I've got to say, it's one of those places that really hits the mark for a good old pub experience. The live music on Saturdays is just brilliant, getting everyone in the mood for a singalong or a dance, and paired with the friendly team behind the bar, it feels like you're catching up with mates rather than just popping in for a drink. The food's another highlight – those pizzas and Italian dishes are spot on, especially with the cheeky 50% off on Mondays, and it's all at prices that won't break the bank. Plus, the beer garden is a proper treat, with heaters to keep you snug even on chillier evenings, and it's family-oriented too, which is great if you're out with the little ones. On the flip side, it does get packed during the big events, so if you're after a peaceful evening, you might find it a tad hectic. And that roadside spot means you could hear a bit of traffic hum, which isn't ideal, but it doesn't spoil the fun. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone looking for a mix of entertainment, good value, and a warm welcome – I'd definitely recommend giving it a go for a balanced night out.
