Popworld - Wigan

Sunday nights, great music great company. Lauren,josh and Liz are great who are running the bar and floor. Kind, respectful and patient. 100% be going every Sunday and other days

Red Lion

First time here and it was a great experience. Greeted by lovely staff and the place is very charming. The food was lovely, Sunday roast was exactly what I wanted! Great little pub and relaxing atmosphere. All the staff were very attentive and Grace would check in with us to make sure we were ok. Good prices as well (especially in the height of summer and trying to keep these kids entertained and fed!) and good sized portions of food. Nice day out here at the farm and then coming here was the perfect end to the day. Highly recommend

The White Lion

Fabulous birthday meal for our family, all served by the lovely Holly ? very friendly and patient for putting up with all our indecisive family members. Thank you x

Red Door Bistro

Just enjoyed a wonderful meal here to celebrate 1 week of being a married couple. Almost 11 years ago this was our first date and my now husband was so late I almost left ?. So pleased to report that we enjoyed a fantastic meal here tonight along with a lovely bottle of picpoul. Lovely ambience, excellent service and beautiful food for the price point. Lovely to have the chef come out personally to chat about our experience at the end of the meal. After a long hiatus we'll definitely be back! Fantastic xx

Pesto at the Dicconson Arms

Excellent food, really good service, great selection of drinks and the menu choices are massive. Definitely go here.
Update: in today for a lunch time coffee. Still great service, very clean. 100% recommend
Further update: staff still fantastic, food is great. Menu is evolving constantly (but please bring back the chicken thigh (coscia di pollo imbottita I think it was)!

Stag Inn

stopped at the stag for a quick bite to eat. the food was amazing and didn’t wait long for it. would recommend the philly steak. the barmaid Sophie recommended it to me. will definitely be back. lovely spot for all.

Asylum

Went for lunch as I had passed many times but never been in, I was so impressed the staff were lovely warm welcoming and helpful, the atmosphere was cool and chilled vibe with a nice background music level and the interior decor was trendy and niche, giving new Orleans vibe.
When the food came it was delicious I had the halloumi taco which was so flavour packed and then I had the salt and pepper fries, again delicious.my friend had the dancing prawns and halloumi fries, and whilst the prawns did not dance they were delicious.
The owner stopped by and we had a lovely conversation really made us feel welcome. Would definitely return

The Old Band House

Me and my partner came here and it was amazing! The food was amazing and the service was also outstanding. The staff made us feel very welcome and was very frequent to know if we needed anything else or to see if everything was okay! 4 tapas dishes, a garlic bread pizza, a pint and a lemonade come to £50 which is really good! Thank you so much!

Posthouse

Bailey was fantastic on Saturday night while collecting our glasses. He was polite, friendly, and really efficient at keeping the place tidy without ever getting in the way. It made such a difference to have someone so reliable and hardworking on the team — everything ran smoothly thanks to his effort. Would definitely recommend Bailey & Lohan Serving us our cocktails was also brilliant

Raj Gate

We went here on a Wednesday so we got the week deal the food is always fantastic here I love the place and service is also spot on fully recommended a visit only down side the websitesite says they open at 5pm but it was 5.30pm but it was fine we just waited in our cars

Fat Olive Restaurant

Birthday treat, really enjoyable experience. \nPleasant greeting and warm welcome, had just re-opened after post-Christmas/New Year break. \nAttentive and timely service, good varied menu, plenty choices and good sized very tasty, fresh and well cooked portions. \nCompetitive prices, Will definitely return. \nSpecial mention for the team, mainly Paul and Sandra, attentive, polite and very pleasant tireless workers, never stopped all evening.

Peters Chinese Takeaway

I heard this was the best Chinese in Wigan so after many years I decided to try it and now go nowhere else. The food is just so amazing. Very very friendly staff. I cannot recommend highly enough

BINDI of Aspull

Left a review before but it was 3 stars as some of it was good but some of the order was ok. I have came back and want to leave a 5 star review. I decided to try again and I am so glad I did. Food was delicious and pipping hot. Pakora was perfect. From starters to main was perfect. Garlic Naan the way it should be, light warm and fresh.
I will be ordering again soon

Park Hotel

I grew up on the estate opposite the Park and haven’t been in there in over thirty years. The decor is warm and inviting, the food absolutely top notch, especially the dessert! The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful and we had a superb experience. Next time I’m back from Canada I’ll be making it a priority to eat here ?

Venture

The Venture is our friendly local pub. Food is always delicious and brought over at a reasonable and fast pace, and is always warm. The staff will always make you feel welcome and are incredibly friendly, checking regularly that your food is adequate and that you are having an enjoyable experience. They are always hosting activities and events, such as local musical artists and pub quizzes to keep customers coming back. Cannot recommend enough to anyone local or visiting Wigan.

La Sentidos Loca

Me and the family love this place, there service is on another level. The staff are always friendly, the food is banging and has such a welcoming atmosphere and all round great vibe.

Robin Hood

Great food. Low prices. Had two courses from the seniors menu for an incredible £6.49. Generous portion, cooked beautifully, lovely friendly staff and another doggie friendly establishment to add to my lists of great venues. Highly recommended.

Toscana Meditarranean

Ate here for the 1st time for the wife's birthday 23rd July. Simply superb. Amazing tasting food and service. Took advantage of the two course special offer. £16.95 per head. As above food and service was fabulous. Highly recommend.

Babar Elephant

THE BEST Indian by a long shot!
Staff are always super friendly and helpful, atmosphere is good, service is great but the food is unreal ??
Even as a vegetarian there’s so many different options available I could never get bored!

Papa Luigis Wigan

Visited Saturday evening (02.08.25) myself and parents arrived at 6:15pm (early for a 6:30 booking) our greeting was warm and friendly. We were promptly escorted to a table and our drinks order was taken in an efficient manner! Our food order was taken soon after. We didn’t wait to long for our food considering when it arrived it was clearly cooked fresh! The food not only looked appealing but tasted amazing. All three of us complimented the food. Not only did it taste great but it was well portioned. Very happy with our visit! And will definitely return, compliments to all the staff including the kitchen staff (as they are often overlooked) a great meal for my parents anniversary

Simply Thai Wigan

Been here twice this month with my partner we both love it. The foods always amazing! Everything is fresh flavourful, and cooked perfectly. Lovely staff and atmosphere, will definitely be returning again!

Balcarres Arms

Had a great meal. 10 of us visited and the service was spot on. Between us we had burgers, steaks and pies all cooked to perfection at a reasonable price. New management seems to have really turned this place around. If you want good food in a clean, welcoming environment then can highly recommend ?

Moonlight Tandoori

Ordered a takeaway tonight for the first time at Moonlight. All the food was excellent, and the staff were very friendly. The kitchen and waiting area was very clean. I introduced myself as Andy :)

The Wheel Restaurant

Very professional restaurant well organised and the food is exceptional

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair access into the restaurant and the disabled toilet is big with plenty of room with grab rails

Picasso Aspull

Food here is so good! I really enjoyed my food, had really big portions and the staff are all super friendly.

I normally like to try different places but now I just keep coming back here ?

The Paddock

4 stars because our order disappeared into the ether, and this was only realised when my partner asked where her drink was. We don't like the idea of paying in advance when sat outdoors, but when it was explained to us we reluctantly accepted this. Why is this not a problem in the test of the world?

Gulshan Tandoori

All in all I've been going for over 25 years , and it's the best in Wigan good food friendly and you stomach is full always good will keep ordering 5☆☆☆☆☆

Rivaj

The food was absolutely delicious. Poppadoms were fresh and tasty. Starters and mains were very generous portions, so much that we brought some of our main home. Authentic food. Will certainly return.

Sapore Italiano

Ordered a smash burger and it was amazing, and I would highly recommend it. The sauce was delicious and the burger itself was piping hot and tasted divine with the other toppings. Will definitely be ordering again.

Bengal Spice

Always used this place, first time had a prob with delivery. But these things happen. Great people to talk to on the phone and problem was rectified. 5 stars from me for food and service.

Tap 'n' Barrel

Worth seeking out - choice of 3 cask beers and a couple of ciders - Windermere Pale is a mainstay and it’s always in excellent condition although the pump clip could do with updating!
More room upstairs along with the toilets.

Station Café

Very friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit. Very nice food. Had cheese burger & chips, chips were fries and a little too over cooked but still enjoyed. Again very friendly ladies, polite and a joy to visit.

Francos

Lived in wigan for 22 years and somehow made the mistake of never eating here. The food was absolutely impeccable. The pricing is reasonable at first but after you've eaten it feels like a steal.

Never left a restaurant with such a feeling of satisfaction.

I got the Ribs for starter and Lasagne for main, the ribs quite literally fell off of the bone I ate them with my fork and nothing else.

The lasagne was divine, drowning in cheese with a delightful sauce.

My partner got the salmon and shrimp starter and I'm certain for a moment her eyes rolled into the back of her head as she was eating it.

For her main she was bold and went for the swordfish steak. Even I as somebody who hates seafood found myself enjoying it as it melted in my mouth.

I absolutely cannot recommend this restaurant enough, thanks to all the staff for providing such a wonderful eating experience for the 1st anniversary of mine and my partners love, I'm sure we'll be returning here for the rest!

Leigh road chippy

As a HGV driver I travel up and down the UK and got to say this is the best chippy in the UK I have ever been in
Friendly staff cheap as chips lol
I'll give this place 10/10

Santos Cafe

Not sure why I haven't been here before but I will now make it my go to place when in town.
Ordered a latte then decided on a teacake. Service was great and very friendly, I felt very welcome (I was on my own) food and drink came out quickly. Great prices.
The food that came out for others looked delicious ? so I will order something different next time.

Caffè Nero

Review for Caffe Nero in Wigan town centre.

I recently visited Caffe Nero with my baby daughter and was thoroughly impressed with my experience. The service here is exceptional, with staff who are not only professional but also genuinely warm and welcoming. It’s clear that they take pride in what they do, making every guest feel valued and appreciated.

One of the standout features of this coffee shop is its inclusive atmosphere. People of all ages will find this place welcoming and comfortable, whether you're there for a quick coffee, a casual catch-up, or some quiet work time.

The authenticity of the staff adds a unique charm to the place. Their friendly demeanor and personal touch create an inviting environment that makes you want to return.

Located in a convenient spot, Caffe Nero is easy to get to and perfect for a spontaneous visit or a planned meet-up. It’s a great spot to relax, enjoy a delicious coffee, and soak in the friendly vibes.

Overall, Caffe Nero is a gem in the community, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch hot drinks experience.

Starbucks Coffee

I love this place! The people who work there are warm and welcoming. They are professional and super friendly. They know my order as soon as I turn up in the drive through when I tell them my name. I love my blonde roast iced caramel lattes and they always make it just how I like it. You are always greeted with a smile. Highly recommend.

Poundbakery

Can't give 5 stars as I don't feel like the food is as good as it used to be when it was a lot cheaper, I would say the coffees are well worth buying compared to the more expensive coffee places around Wigan. Staff where friendly.

One Stop

It’s a 3 star shop per se, but there’s a certain women who works there who is very polite and friendly which made this a 4 star shop. I can’t remember her name but she’s beyond spectacular ❤️

Greggs

I work in a local business so I visit this Greggs sometimes before my shift starts or on my break. I am served by Viv most of the time and I’m glad that I do as she is such a lovely women, always polite and uses manners. Fast and friendly service from her ever time!

Chop Sticks

Been searching for a good quality Chinese takeaway in the area for months after our usual place went downhill. This is by far the best food we've found. Really good quality, fresh food, and excellent service too. Would highly recommend.

Subway

Taylor, made mine and Louis' experience at subway a delightful one. taylor even assisted in making our experience definitely deserves a pay rise thanks Taylor from me and

Starbucks Coffee

Excellent customer service and divine food! 20/20 would highly recommend coming here

Dietary restrictions: My order always contains oat milk due to a dairy intolerance, they always have alternatives available!

Oliva Pizzas

Fast delivery time ,good quality. their pitzza dough is something different,i really wish to know their recipe! Try them meat feast ,the meatballs are quite something. They also have kebabs which i tried once and it was amazing .Friendliness is the key to keep customers coming back to your business,they are the master of it . Thank you sir

Galloways Market Place

Nice place, with decent prices. Went in the late afternoon, no queue, friendly woman behind the counter. What I did notice was a fly making itself acquainted with one of the iced fingers, which I thought was a bit disgusting.

The Boars Head

Absolutely gorgeous little pub with extremely helpful and pleasant staff. The food was amazing and extremely good value. It was our anniversay and they brought a plate with Happy Anniversay piped in chocolate and some fresh strawberries with our dessert which was a lovely touch. We've been several times and we'll definitely be returning.

I can't recommend them enough in every respect.

BARCELONA BISTRO TAPAS BAR

Myself and husband visited Barcelona Bistro Tapas Bar tonight and cannot recommend it enough. It's a small, family ran restaurant, that served delicious tapas and has wonderful service. Every dish was beautiful! We already cannot wait to return to this gem of a restaurant.

Holts Arms

I would like to send a massive thank you to all the staff working yesterday afternoon 19.07.25 for making my wife's birthday meal really special, nothing was too much trouble, the food and drinks were excellent our table of 15 really enjoyed the whole experience, thanks again,♥️

Fur Clemt Cafe & Food Outlet

popped in today for the first time and I must day how lovely everyone was,.extremely helpful. met a lovely woman called Bev inside the shop too who recommended a few things. looking forward to coming back.

John Bull Chop House

This place is one of a kind . Shame there aren’t more places like it anymore .
The music is amazing and the atmosphere is even better , I was on my own and everyone was so friendly and as a single person I felt so comfortable in here. The cask ale was on top form and the Guinness was some of the best I’ve had anywhere .
The staff were great and really friendly.
Such a quirky little place and the building I was told was almost 600 years old and it oozes character.
An absolute must if you’re ever in Wigan
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Divino Italian Restaurant Wigan

Booked a table for 9 for a special birthday .
Everything was set up specially.
The service was very quick and professional.
The food was amazing .
I would definitely recommend coming here .

The Royal Oak

It was more than expected.

Excellent service staff.
Excellent fries to the food, best I've had for years.
Sallad BLT was great.
Garlic bread could be more garlicy.
Perry pery chicken was a bit bland with the seasoning.
Chicken Garlions was good also.

Nice and calm, not to loud, many rooms to sit. Classic pub but in good condition.

Gerrard Arms

A wonderful Sunday dinner with very reasonably priced options for 2 or 3 courses. We were a group of 5, sampling beef and gammon & everybody was really happy with the quality. The meal wasn't the largest - a bit more veg would have been appreciated, but this was overshadowed by the quality. Fully recommended.

Bear in mind the pub is fairly small and as there are people going just to drink it can be quite noisy with pub banter.

The Raj

Moved to wigan from Canada. Was missing family and wanted some good curry. Mr amir came to serve me. Asked him to make me something that would feel like home cooked. Mr amir and the chef understood the assignment and made a very delicious lamb curry.

It was good for 2 people, but the taste and reminder of home made me end up devouring the whole plate ?

Crooke Hall Inn

Had a great meal nice atmosphere and great for walking with the dog along the canal just remember to put your registration in the ipad at the bar when you park

The Secret Garden Coffee Lounge

A beautiful “secret” ?

Great little cafe with indoor and outdoor seating.
Great choice of food , though seeing I had just finished a job a hearty breakfast is just what I needed ?

Lovely staff very helpful. Definitely a place to stop and have something.

I’ll be definitely visiting again ?

The Masons Arms

To get a feel of this place see my videos on you tube. Roger Maximilian. Trivia quiz most Wednesdays, beat me if you can............. most do.

Parking: Park on locals drives they don't mind.

It's Pizza

Went into the shop and young lad who served us was very polite and patient whilst we decided what we wanted. Once ordered he told us it would be around 15 mins, food came on time, hot and very fresh, the pizza shop itself was very clean and all staff were very well mannered and presented. The pizza was delicious and the wedges are amazing, will certainly go back again.

Tsang's Chippy

Great food, generous portion sizes, staff are lovely. I highly recommend.

Parking: No car park but, people often park on the road in front of the shop, or the streets at the side of across the road from it

Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible for wheelchairs. It's a small chippy and get busy but, the entrance is not ground level, it's a step up to the door

Petra Pizza

Friendly staff, great choice of food for the price range. Have enjoyed the burgers, pizza and chicken (better than the famous place).Also deliveries come to you fast and with the food still super hot and appetising

Red Robin Wacky Warehouse

Came today for my daughters 6th Birthday, we had the pleasure of having the ladies Emma and Kayleigh on shift that day, they was both absolutely amazing and was really engaged giving Kacy and amazing day, everyone at the party has said how amazing they was and how well the day went. Thank you Emma and Kayleigh, you really made my little girls birthday that little bit extra special.

Lord Nelson Hotel

The atmosphere is always great. The staff are really friendly and so are the customers. We ate there for the first time and the food was really nice and a fantastic price

Fortune Cookie

I got salt and pepper chicken balls, salt and pepper chips and egg fried rice.

The chicken balls were good but needed more seasoning in my opinion

The chips were good too but similar opinion

Egg fried rice was lovely and fluffy and had good flavour.

The food itself is very hot and fresh (I ordered collection.) and has definitely got potential to be perfect with small improvements!

The portions are generous and I struggled to finish even half.

My order came to £15.20 but considering I could definitely feed two is not expensive in my opinion considering how expensive places like McDonald’s have gotten.

There’s a lovely amount of spice and if there were to be more seasoning added these could absolutely be a 5*.

The young man who served me was polite and the place looks clean.

The pictures show how much was left after plating my food but my partner also had a portion before this picture was taken to show how good the portions are!

I would recommend this place to others

Alison's Restaurant

great food. good service the staff are very welcoming and friendly. the food was cooked fresh which made everything even better and the dinning area was well cleaned. i would recommend if you want the best chippy food.

Five Star Bakery

Thanks so much for an incredible venue for our daughter’s baby shower. The room was amazing and the bar staff were both fabulous especially Charlotte who helped us so much all day. Thank you

Ajmeer Manzil

This has become my regular go-to place for an Indian, not the closest to where I live, but the quality is to die for every time. The service is always impeccable and have I mentioned how fantastic the food is no matter what I get.
