The 30 Best Cafe in Wigan

“Came in for the Sunday dinner after a few recommendations, party of 8 everyone really happy with their meals. 3 of us had the lamb shank Sunday dinner, one said it was the best he had ever eaten. Restaurant quality food in a pub, very good”

“Good beers and nice friendly atmosphere”

“I went to yoga today for the first time. The tutor was very good and all the ladies there were very welcoming and friendly. A nice cup of tea and chat after! I will be there again next week.”

“Chloe was very friendly and welcoming, the spa was warm, cosy with a relaxing vibe. I particularly liked the offer to enjoy the relaxation room after treatment however I would have appreciated knowing this in advance so I could have come prepared/factored that into my timings. The treatment was really nice.”

“As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with a big smile and told to sit wherever we fancied. Straight away, the atmosphere felt dead friendly ☺️ Food: The food was bang on. Everything tasted fresh, and the chips? Honestly, the best I’ve had in ages – proper crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Oh, and the peas – proper traditional peas, like they used to be, made with fresh marrowfat. Portions were spot on, and it’s great value for money. I loved the specials like chicken curry and hot pot. They’ve even got calories on the menu, which stood out for me straight away. Service: The service was cracking, especially since it was just one person running the show. She kept everyone updated, saying stuff like, “We’re just waiting on chips for 10 minutes,” and she even apologised for the wait (not that we minded, fresh food is worth it!). Nothing was too much trouble – I even heard someone come in with a “weird” order, and she just sorted it, no stress. She made sure we were happy with our food, which you don’t always get these days. Atmosphere: This is what made it for us. Me and the husband both said it felt proper homely. Even with kids messing about, she handled it brilliantly, explaining how they should behave so no one else got disturbed. When it quietened down, she had a little chat with us, and she was so warm and lovely – made us feel right at home. Cleanliness: The place was spotless. She was constantly wiping tables and washing her hands before touching food. She even explained what she was doing and asked us to give her a minute – proper good communication. Overall: Alison’s is a proper hidden gem. It’s cozy, the food’s amazing, and the sense of community is something special. Honestly, it’s well worth a visit – you won’t regret it. Oh, and the tea? Comes in a proper mug – just like at home.”

“Ordered Cumberland sausage and mash and my partner had Gammon with egg. Food was very hot and fresh. Best Cumberland sausage I ever had. The new owners are so lovely. Definitely recommend to try it out.”

“I went here last night wow the pizza night was amazing best I've had in UK staff worked so hard food was second to none”

“Absolutely amazing and quality food. Highly recommend the burgers, any are superb and especially the sweet chili chicken bites....wow!!!! I could just eat loads of those. Delivery is decent for timing, never had an issue and arrives as close to the time as possible, (astong traffic is terrible) but they live up to expectations. Never been inside so I cant rate for the service but I am sure its great.”

“Excellent food, everything was really good quality, freshly cooked and very nicely presented. Very clean and quick too. Extra points for having the option of smoked streaky bacon and the exceptional French toast. Will definitely return.”

“Since this is my first time visiting this place, I thought I would share my experience. Nice clean place, with a relaxing atmosphere, did have a slight difficult ordering my food due to my speech implement, but the person who was serving me was patient and polite. The food was excellent and lovely. The only down side, was the parking, but lucky a friend showed me where to park. All in all, definitely recommend visiting 'The Old Bank Coffee & Wine'.”

“Clean, good simple food with nice selection amd incredibly pleasant and welcoming staff. More space inside than you first realise. And reasonable prices.”

“good food at good price。large all day breakfast £8.2”

“So refreshing to visit somewhere and not be ripped off! The food is fresh, good portion sizes and so reasonably priced. Less than £30 for three meals plus drinks including a smoothie and luxury hot chocolate, and freshly baked goodies - 2 brownies, granola bar and large cookie. Bonus points for being dog friendly and offering a cute dog menu. Rose really enjoyed the scrambled eggs. Will definitely be back!”

“The service in this shop is fantastic and is backed up with great tasting coffee at a great temperature. I always enjoy the atmosphere as well and the staff are very attentive and knowledgeable. Great place for a coffee!”

“Incredibly friendly, welcoming, and skilled team. It is always a delight whenever my daughter and I go. Food is always prepared quickly and tastes amazing.”

“Always friendly service and never too much of a wait to be served. Good choice of drinks and reasonably proces. Clean and plenty of seating and parking.”

“Fab little neighbourhood pub with a great, very well priced pint(£3.10), not to be missed! And a quiz night on a Sunday night, apparently, which looked quite good, but I couldn't stay, unfortunately. Very handy for canal boats as well! Highly recommended!”

“Just moved in to the area and checked out the Millstone, wow! A real pub with old fashioned values ie. Customers come first. Very friendly atmosphere, dog freindly, great beer great host and great beer garden! My new local.”

“Fabulous bar. Have Coronavirus regulations down to a 'T' Clean, welcoming and brilliant staff. Julie & Keith the landlords are amazing. Courteous, welcoming and spot on with cleanliness, table service and bar staff are brilliant. Stey should have his own stand up comedy slot. His sense of humour is fab. Beer and lager is just right. Our new local. People in the pub are also great. Everyone doing what should be done. A great pub with atmosphere and also welcome dogs. XX”

“Proper old school pub and a good selection of beers. Chilled atmosphere. Worth a visit if in the area :).”

“Overall this is a wonderful feel good pub. Staff lovely, beers good and place spotless but still welcoming. Very pleasant and helpful regulars. My only minor complaint is that the drinks are a tad pricey but excellent choices.”
