The Nag's Head is a quintessential English pub in a village called Haughton Moss, near Tarporley in rural Cheshire. It has been re-mixed and re-imagined by the people behind the multi-award winning Altrincham Market; Mackie Mayor, Manchester and Picturedrome, Macclesfield.

The Nag's Head is a listed building that dates back to its origin as a Smithy in the 1740's, on the trade route connecting the ports of Liverpool and North Wales to the Potteries.

At The Nag's Head sister venues we have earned a reputation for high quality food, delivered in beautiful buildings, served informally. The point? - to make eating out with family, with friends, with kids with dogs accessible, rewarding and part of your 'everyday'.

Expect seasonal changes, kitchen co-labs with our sister venues, glamping, growing and outdoorsy stuff on our adjoining 4 acres in the not-too-distant future.

    Really beautiful pub renovated to a sensitive but modern standard, cosy and tasteful interior. Friendly helpful staff, great and well priced menu, fab for families (I visited with my 8 year old). Worth travelling for and we will visit again. Met the high standard we expected from regularly visiting the market halls also operated by this group.

    One of my favourite gastro-pubs in the North West. Unbelievably warm and friendly ambiance, great service. My choice of food has not been always 10/10 but happy to try more. Always a great choice of wines and other beverages.

    We ordered : a Beef Ragu which was cold in the middle; a cheese pie which had a taste of fish and a fish and chips which was ok. Such a pity.

    Usually a massive fan of The Nag’s Head but I’m sorry to say that todays dining experience was disappointing. The service was brilliant as per normal, but usually it was the food and the beer that was under par. The main issue was with our Sunday roast main courses in that the two beef dinners were very thin on meat (three small slices each) and also the portion sizes in general were very inconsistent. We thought one of the portions was a kids portion! We also found the roasties and cabbage to be way way over seasoned, barely edible. As a minor additional point, I usually love the cask ales on at The Nags Head but there was only one (Beartown Lit) on today. I expect it was just an off day for what is usually a 5* pub experience, but was a shame for us and our guests.

    Good was nice. Server forgot to add on a side dish so that came at the end of the meal (too kate). Side dish seemed rushed. For inconvenience they knocked 1.40 (that is one pund and 40 pence). Next time I will remember to ask them to drop the service charge they automatically add to the bill Food was quite nice.

    I recently enjoyed a delightful lunchtime meal with friends at The Nags Head, and it was an experience worth sharing. The pub exudes a warm and cosy charm, making it the perfect setting for a relaxed get-together. The menu was full of tempting options, but we opted for the rarebit and a hearty pie for our mains. Both dishes were absolutely delicious—comfort food at its finest. The Welsh rarebit was rich, cheesy, and perfectly seasoned, while the pie was a masterpiece, with a golden, flaky crust and a filling that was both flavorful and satisfying. The service was friendly and attentive, adding to the welcoming atmosphere of this lovely pub. It’s clear that great care goes into both the food and the overall experience. If you’re looking for a cosy spot with excellent food and a great ambiance, I highly recommend The Nags Head. I’ll certainly be back!

    Venue is lovely & good pub atmosphere. Everything was okay with food & service but we had two gripes. Our child wanted toast which wasn’t on menu. Helpfully this was accommodated but £5 charge for a slice of toast does seem excessive. Also, my Sticky Date Pudding was served with custard rather than the advertised butterscotch sauce. I wasn’t informed about this & I think kitchen were hoping I wouldn’t complain or send back, which isn’t exactly putting the customer first.

    My only slight criticism would be with the cheese & bubble and sqeak pie. As it had cabbage inside it it definitely needed serving with a different veg instead of more cabbage . As a vegetarian I love cabbage but I felt this needed something different to compliment the pie . Sweet potato would work great with it .
