Hare and Hounds, Lowton in Wigan

Came here for breakfast as there isn't many pubs in the area that do it, unlimited tea and coffee is an amazing idea and my big breakfast was delicious full of flavour and nice and hot staff were lovely always checking up on us for more tea and coffee

Great service and lovely food would definitely recommend to come for a meal here with the family, thank u for a lovely day

Be very carful eating at this place. They say they don’t own the car park. And even tho we put the registration into a device on the wall we still got a penalty. And it’s near impossible to get a refund. (As it’s a lease car the fine goes to lease company and they just pay it) So £60 charge plus £30 admin fee extra for a lunch snack. Live and learn. We will never go back. RIP OFF

came here as family was down to see us, food was amazing and kids eat or a pound with every adults main meal comes in use especially when my children dont eat much lady behind the bar was very kind and helpful when asking for a suggestion of wine i love coming here and i will continue to do so

i came during the weekend with family, pub was busy which was nice to see, all staff showing smiles on their faces and seemed happy to be working. food was amazing and above what i was expecting, for drinks we had cocktails and they are full with flavor and garnish i will definitely be coming here again it never fails to disappoint

came for the live singer on Friday it was a fantastic couple of hours! food before hand was really good, the clucking hot stack burger was great and partner enjoyed his sizzler grilled chicken overall a fantastic night

I come here quite often as I love how cheap it is for drinks and food, the cocktails are amazing and full of flavour they are always full of garnish and I also ordered some starters which the deal on that is amazing to, Will continue coming back as staff are amazing to

the food was really good. tandoori skewers were lovely and the chicken was tender. chocolate fudge cake was beautiful and not over sickly like some. kids enjoyed their meals and desserts

Little gem of a place. Food is spot on and a great selection to choose from. Chilli chicken fries are my new favourite snack. Staff were very friendly and recommended a couple of cocktails which were lovely. Will be returning again soon.

This place its staff and new menu are brilliant looked after me and my family really well i cannot fault anything it was fantastic and will be going there again very soon .great place , great food ,staff amazing

Quality food as per, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere, always here on a weekly basic and never fails to disappoint… :)

We visited through the week and really enjoyed our food and drinks. Lovely range of new options on the menu. Would definitely be coming back again soon

8 people in our party,service was very good, food was amazingly very good value for money. Lovley staff and atmosphere Definitely worth a visit.

Fab pub, tasty food, informative staff and a pool table to boot. Plenty of options food and drink menus are nice and varied.

Food wasn't good but not as bad as the service. Long ques at the bar and rude untrained staff. Food burned unsatisfactory it might be cheap but you definitely get what you pay for.

We came to try the new menu as seen it being advertised on Facebook. It did not disappoint! Oh Lord the new curry house feast was amazing & the tandoori skewers are to die for! We really really enjoyed it! The staff were pleasant & service was fab. We will be back soon for sure

We had food here last week was which great! My son loves the burgers & the chocolate cake! Seen you are now on Uber eats so will give that a try too 👍🏼

we came here after not visiting for a long time but we are glad we did. the food was really good, partner enjoyed his steak & chicken sizzler and my hunters chicken was fab it was lovely and juicy not dry at all. desserts were amazing too. we wont be leaving it long until we return again

We came to see their Christmas market event they had on which was really good. Kids loved the Santa sleigh outside which was the local rotary club raising money for their charity which was great to see. We also stayed and had food as the pub smelt amazing. Meals didn’t disappoint they were lovely! We had a great festive family afternoon & will 100% be back soon.

Great food! We had the sizzling platters the steak was spot on, great pint of Stella and cocktails along with a night of karaoke. Very reasonably priced. Brilliant night

The food was excellent a lot better than we expected for a chain pub. The jerk chicken skewers are brilliant, just the right level of spice. Kids enjoyed their meals and sundaes. Would highly recommend

I brought my mum for some lunch as she doesn’t get out that much anymore. She loved her fish and chips. She ate the lot including a sticky toffee pudding for dessert. My burger was great, it was juicy & tasty! The staff were pleasant & nothing was too much trouble. We both really enjoyed our afternoon out and looking forward to doing it again soon

Upon arrival at 4.15 The Pub was Very quiet , we found a table , great choice & good value Menu , we ordered , & Waited & Waited & Waited ( bare in mind I did say it was Quiet ) 1 hour later still NO Food , I asked the Only waitress on Duty , One minute I will Go check , Came out with mine , it was cold , I waved her Over , She just shrugged her shoulders & said would sort it , but no apology , She continued to serve the next table & My hubby Still hadn’t got his food , So asked to speak to The Manager , instead I got acting supervisor , No Manager on duty , To be Told hubbys food was delayed because it had been dropped on the floor & Had to be re-done !!! At This point 1hr & half later I asked for a refund. !!!! We left I Actually counted 3 staff inc chef !!! We didn’t get a single apology!! Hence We Won’t Be Going Back ☹️😡😡🤯🤯🤯

Visited here yesterday evening omg the only thing that seemed to be coming out the kitchen was staff . Waited well over an hour for our meals and then it was 5 mins or more between each persons dish . Then had to remind them had not been given sides we ordered . It wasnt even that busy god help them when it is . Will never bother going again the food was NOT worth waiting for . The staff were very friendly it seemed a kitchen problem

We visited this place last night the girl welcomed us with open arms very friendly let us choose where we would like to sit. I am in a wheelchair. The food came out quite quickly and lovely and hot I had the scampi chips and mushy peas and i asked for a fried egg that was no problem either. My partner had big breakfast that was lovely too although I think they forgot the mushroom and the tomato but didnt complain there was plenty on the plate would deffo eat there again thanks guys xxx

We thought we would try the Hare and Hounds as it’s recently been renovated. One word... DIABOLICAL. Toilets where filthy.. don’t even look like they’ve been deep cleaned since it’s been renovated. Panels between cubicles dirty and underneath hand dryer absolutely filthy! Food.. abismal.. husbands lasagne arrived in a metal curry dish and was just shrivelled and dry. Children’s “Quorn” nuggets NOT Quorn.. just a cheap alternative. My curry was edible.. apart from the Nan bread which was rock hard. Will NOT be going again. Only paid £15 as it was half price and it wasn’t even worth that.

We came here for our first visit out since lockdown ended as friends had been and recommended to us. They wasn’t wrong. Food was lovely especially my American Platter & my partner enjoyed his Dirty Stack burger. Team very pleasant... we was happy to be out and felt safe here they are very well organised. See you again soon!

Been here twice now since the refurbishment and lockdown restrictions have been eased. Really great improvements, lovely food, nice staff but the ladies toilets still let this place down. Flooded and 2 out of 4 were out of order. This really needs sorting.

Came for lunch on Saturday afternoon could see the pub was very busy but James was the most attentive server we’ve ever come across he made us aware of any delays food was absolutely amazing the new decor was out of this world such a lovely atmosphere very busy would highly recommend to everyone I know can’t wait to visit again

We have just popped in for a bite to eat for lunch, having not been in for many years due to its deterioration, and I was pleasantly surprised. It’s had a much needed refurbishment and the play barn has been removed to make way for more dining space. The food was perfect for a pub lunch; tasty and plentiful. The service given by Cameron was excellent, attentive and professional. We will definitely return. Thank you for reviving this historic pub!

Had a lovely birthday tea with my family tonight all the staff were friendly the food was amazing came out really quickly even though we could see the pub was quite busy great value for money and very friendly staff will defiantly be coming again

Visited today the food and staff were amazing so much help everyone loved there food can’t wait to see the refurb 👌👌.

We can here last week for a family gathering the staff were so accommodating and helpful the food was amazing and the drinks were amazing prices would highly recommend every thing about this cosy family pub and can’t wait to visit again when the refurbishment is completed

As a regular visitor this pub has improved massively over the last 6 months including service and quality. I have only known the landlord for the last 6 months ish from taking over the improvement has been drastic. Friendly staff and a special mention to our very own local Tracey! I find it hard to believe previous reviews are blaming the pub for a bad customer. Was this brought to the attention of staff? Very much like diverting an airliner with a disruptive customer. Enjoy all and the refurb is coming! Fantastic pint and fantastic value for money on the food! Cheers!

Went to this pub to watch the Manchester football derby . Unfortunately we had to endure a tirade if racist abuse from one guy at Man City players with a liberal dose of the f and c word constantly for the whole of the match. The whole pub must have heard this idiot and the landlord did nothing. He was obviously worse for wear but was allowed to come out with the most vile comments as if this was the norm . Whoever is in charge needs to seriously think about what kind of clientele he wants. We will not be returning.

Went inro there to watch UTD vs City and was exposed to the worst racist comments i have ever witnessed. This vile individual constantly screamed out loud at all the coloured City players calling them Black Cun**s.Most of the pug could hear him and the staff and landlord did nothing

Rang the pub as a friend had left her phone behind, asked them to have a quick look for it and told them where we were sat and said it was not there nor handed in. After a hostile response, we chose to go back to the pub- we were already home, and look ourselves. It was blatantly on charge where I described over the phoneQuite sad really

Lived in Golborne/Lowton all my life and the way this pub has been run down in the last ten or so years is scandalous. Once the heartbeat of the village is now nothing more than a dirty dump. sort it out or shut it down.

Just want to thank the landlady and her staff for A lovely evening. Great value for money food and drinks! Be back again soon.

Pop in for an early afternoon drinks. In the what was once the public bar area, screaming kids with inattentive adults, so move over to lounge, people watching the tele, three guys decide to play music and ask for the volume up. One gets up to enhance his nostrils, people move away.

I came here a while back for my birthday with my friends and the staff was lovely, very warm and welcoming and also made a deal over the fact that it was my birthday, the manager was very kind & the food was lovely I enjoyed my visit

Come here for food and drinks with friends, was a lovely atmosphere and the staff was extremely friendly. Will definitely come here again.

Thought I had submitted this one after New Years Eve but clearly not. In short we hadn't been in for some time and thought to have a few beers on New Years Eve. What a disappointment, told by staff that last orders were 2300hrs and closing half hour before midnight - what!!! A few years ago this was a really great pub but what on earth has happened to it? The Rams Head over the road was brilliant with lots of 40+who enjoyed a fantastic night with no trouble. So sad.

Having moved back to the area, this is once again one of my local pubs. Ive visited here during the day time for food a few times over the last couple of months and it's been great. A chicken wrap and pint of cider for £5!?! Can't beat it

new manager started alrite but isn't reely she more bovered bout being friends with the drug dealers than stickin up for staff

Amazing staff, all friendly, quick service. Food is of good value and comes out in decent time. Drinks are reasonably priced and the atmosphere in there is great! Staff are very helpful and the manager is just a lovely lady. Will definitely keep coming

Sound little gaff this and does exactly what it says on the tin. Food was ok and bird behind the bar Vicky was nice and friendly

Came for lunch on Monday 15th, absolutely delicious. Rob was cooking that day and i really appreciated the pride put into the preparation and presentation. Becca was behind the bar , very helpful and efficient. Will definately return soon!

I visited the hare and hounds with two friends for a late dinner about 3 oclock. We were served straight away even though it was fairly busy. Our food came in good time and was very good value for money. Will definitely be visiting again.

Never been here before today staff were really friendly and helpful and we got served very quickly and the food was great I had southern fried chicken wrap which was lovely only bad point was the chips where frozen chips home made would of been a lot better but would definitely come again and recommend good prices too

Been here a few times over the years and love the ambience and the feeling of the pub...However, since it has been taken over by the Sizzling Pubs chain it has deteriorated badly.....The staff need to be taught about good customer service, the food needs to improve considerably and the service needs to be better.....My partner and i popped in for a couple of beers today, first beer no probs, lovely pint, went to the bar to buy a second, nobody serving, sat at the bar for eight minutes, we left and went next door......Now, before the manager comes on and replies to this with some lame excuse, think on.....Somebody should be behind the bar at all times, this is so basic it should need no explanation.... I will be coming back again as it is a lovely pub....

1st time dining here & the last!

Since the arrival off unfriendly landlords this pub has lost many of its customers. Most egular staff have left or been fired. The landlords don't speak to anyone never say hello or anything. Even when people try to speak to them it goes ignored. Certain people should not run a pub these 2 definitely shouldn't.

Great food and reasonably priced pub. The only advice I can give is to a couple of members of staff who's customer skills could be improved. It's not hard to be polite especially to a customer who's paying. Overall though a decent pub with a good family friendly atmosphere.

Came here for lunch today with my partner and our three children. Upon arrival the place was freezing, so we went and sat at the top end of the pub were it was a little warmer, only to be told half an hour later after ordering food; we weren’t allowed to sit in that area with the children.

February 2018. Party of 10, Pre-booked and pre-ordered. On arrival we had to pay up front for our meals as this is a typical Sizzler pub where you get your table number and order food from the bar.

I came here again for my Sunday lunch and was once again served by my favorite manager. We come almost every Sunday for our lunch and the staff are always so kind and friendly. They know our drinks and how we like things, we always get our favorite table and nothing is ever too much trouble. I think some nasty people on here are just nasty for nasties sake. This is affordable dinning and you have to remember that it gets busy with families and locals in for the sports. Peter and his team do an amazing job and our food is always lovely, served quickly and excellent value for money. Yes the decor in the bar side of the pub is tiered, but the car park side has been decorated by Peter himself to a very high standard and it is lovely.

Been coming in here for many many year, but each visit over the last couple of years has got worse. The cleanliness is the most obvious along with a decline in food standards. It’s really poor, particularly the ladies toilets.

Ordered the combo meal and couldn't believe how wrong the chef could cook these simple foods. Dryer than my brothers crusty bed sheet. I've had popadoms with more flavour than the chicken. Won't be returning for food whatsoever

Popped here for a quick lunch with my sister today. we chose here as it is nearby and so that my nephew could play in the play area. What a mistake this was. after waiting 45 mins for our food the waitress came out to tell us that they only had brown bread for our sandwiches. We said "has it really too that long to realise that you had no bread?" she scuttled off and came back 5 mins later to tell us that they had bread after all and that our meal was being prepared. I suspect that they had popped out to the nearby shop for some as when our meal arrived it was cold. (fish finger butty and chips} We had been there so long by this point that we just ate it. The waitress who came to clear the plates did ask was everything ok with our meals so we told her that after a hour wait and cold food that no it wasn't really but she just muttered about there only being one chef and walked off. The play area was also filthy. There was people on a table near us who was still waiting for food when we left and they too had been there a hour, it would be more understandable if the place was busy but it was nearly empty. Was hoping to have dessert but gave it a miss. We will go elsewhere in future

Very good and relaxing. If in the area then give here a try. Food nice and decent price. Kids enjoyed it and we enjoyed ourselves aswell.

I visited The Hare and Hounds Lowton today with my son, his girlfriend and her son. When we ordered the food we were told it was a 30 to 40 minute wait which we accepted. After about 55 minutes the child's meal arrived, it was...

Ate here Sunday 27th August Thought it was a bad idea after 15 minute wait to get served and noticed every table was piled up with dirty plates Food arrived after 45 minutes There was a sign up advertising Chef required Food was fish and chips plus roast dinner arrived lukewarm and greasy Got served beef when I order roast ham but after waiting ages I was starving told waitress who kindly served me some ham but it was only thinly sliced boiled ham from a packet with a blob of gravy on.This was at 7.35pm and by 930pm I cut my night out short as I my stomach was cramping and felt sick Arrived home via taxi straight to the toilet to vomit all the meal up Never again !!! Try phoning to complain at 10pm but no one answered the phone tried 3 times still no body answered

went here a few months ago, the food was cold and corn on the cob was still frozen in the centre. Thought we would try it again for tea......1 person trying to serve drinks, clean tables and serve food.....needless to say the food was cold...

Estaba en la zona para visitar a unos parientes y venía de comer tarde. La comida era muy buena relación calidad-precio y servicio 1. Felizmente visite de nuevo cuando cerca.

Estado aquí dos veces en los últimos meses con un grupo de amigos, pub les vendría bien una renovación, pero el personal es amable y la comida muy buena y una gran relación calidad-precio

Visité el Hare & Hounds esta semana con mi marido y mi hermana. Recibimos un servicio excepcional y una comida riquísima. La persona que nos servía era realmente bueno, fue muy amable, servicial y muy profesional. Estábamos un poco reacio a probar este pub de nuevo, ya que la última vez que vinimos para almuerzo en noviembre del año pasado la persona que nos servía era un hombre muy poco servicial, despreocupado, con jóvenes malos vaqueros montaje destartalado camino por su parte trasera, él estaba poco servicial y maleducado y estamos muy contentos de que ha desaparecido y ha sido sustituido por nuevo acogedor y personal profesional. Esta vez fue un soplo de aire fresco, todo el pub estaba más limpia, brillante y parecía un lugar diferente. El personal era atento y elegante en Niza uniformes elegantes y el gerente, que nos sirvieron fue muy elegantemente vestido y atento a todas nuestras necesidades. Hay un encantador nuevo menú y una serie de nuevos platos especiales disponibles, las copas muy bien y la comida era excelente relación calidad-precio. Nos dieron una hora en nuestra mesa, desde el gerente y él también nos dio una tarjeta de recomendaciones y una tarjeta de fidelización. Tuvimos una comida tan precioso y toda la experiencia de comedor era excelente. El nombre de la tarjeta dice Pedro, y no podíamos estar más contentos de hacer especial referencia a él como su servicio fue excelente y un funcionamiento excelente. Estamos muy satisfechos y recomendamos se convierte el nuevo mejorado Hare and Hounds bajo su nueva dirección. Gracias Peter y su equipo.

I came in for lunch on Monday and was served by one of the loveliest young men I have ever met. He gave me a feedback card which says his name was Peter. He was so kind and helpful and just so friendly and helpful. I had a couple of questions about my meal and he was very knowledgeable and new the menu and how it was cooked, I understand he was also one of the chefs there. I cannot praise him enough, he was just lovely and made our visit a joy.

Came here today for lunch, it came out very quick and hot, cooked to perfection, services was really good, nice cosy little pub, lots of choices on the menu, staff were good and the manager was really friendly and chatty, will be going back again next week.

We went here today for dinner, food was lovely and piping hot, service was good, a great little pub for all ages, it's under new management and they are a lovely couple, very friendly made you feel very welcome, will definitely be back.

This establishment may be doing well on the food, but I was disappointed to be told when I called in for a beer that in spite of the six hand pumps, there was no real ale on draught.

amazing food, great atmosphere & very welcoming staff, new managers done good would definitely be visiting more often.

After hearing about the new menu we decided to give this little pub another go and I can honestly say the new managers are doing wonders for the place. Ordered some bbq wings which I would highly recommend they were amazing! We also got the all American plate and half a roast chicken both came hot and full of flavour. Staff were welcoming and polite.

Went Friday night with friendsAmazing friendly staff and food was gorgeous!! Deffo go back well done laura and your brilliant team xx

Went last night for a late last minute tea around 8pm. Ordered 3 steak dishes and 3 drinks for less than £35. The food was great and cooked perfectly and the staff were brilliant. There was a great atmosphere in the pub, would highly recommend.

We came here after hearing nothing but greats things locally . We were definitely not disappointed , the new menu is absolutely fantastic . The place smells nice , it's clean and the car park especially clean . Used to come here but the previous management lost a lot of custom letting it go down the pan . So nice to see a new management couple here who are both so lovely . Thank you very much we will see you again very soon !!

We were invited for the pre launch night , and I have to say it was brilliant . The food is so much more better now , it was really tasty ! There was 8 of us who all dined and we all cleaned our plates . New manager has made such a massive difference already and it's so nice to see old familiar faces appear back . Please keep it up .

called in here a few times recently and the food has been great everytime definitely will be recomending to everyone

we went there recently for a meal and the service from the staff and laura and becki was second to none.Nothing was too much trouble and the food was cooked to perfection, a new menu is apparently about to be brought in so we will be going back to see how they can improve on what we think is already great value .i would strongly recommend that you once again give becki and lauras new venture a try,you will be pleasantly surprised especially if you take your kids to their excellent play area,

Stopped here for the first time in a while what a change! Really enjoyed the food, very reasonably priced. New manager introduced herself and was very welcoming. I Enjoyed a steak and my partner had a chicken dish simply couldn't fault it. See you soon!!!!

We stumbled upon this place driving around local area , having read the reviews we were eager to go in and try the food . We happened to choose the day they were having a Halloween themed family fun day for kids which was fantastic . Atmosphere seemed great , food was lovely and the staff were very friendly & welcoming . We will be back soon

Called in after hearing it was under new management! Very impressed , pub seems much friendlier , cleaner and all round back on the right track . Kids play area is fantastic & we had 2 meals for £8/9 which you can't complain at . Food was served quick , hot & fresh . Very impressed so keep it up .

I came here with my girlfriend for lunch. The moment we walked in we were welcomed with a smile. The meals were absolutely delicious compliments to the chef. The manager must be so proud because I am. It was a great dining experience. Would highly recommend and we will be coming back!!

I came to here with my family for a birthday meal and couldn't fault it, outstanding food and staff!!

Stopped here for a lovely lunch. The staff were great and very knowledgable about the menu. The kids - two fussy teenagers- loved it!

I heard that there has recently been a change of management so thought I would give it a go. I'm so glad we did! Great food, brilliant value and spot on service so we will definitely be popping in again soon.

We recently visited for a meal with the family. There was something for everyone on the menu and the prices are cheap and cheerful! There is a kids play frame adjacent to the restaurant area which was great as we could watch the kids play from our table. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The food was great - we will definitely return. We had previously visited this pub but have noticed it has had a change in management and I think it has definitely improved since our last visit.

Went for a tea last minute with my 8 year old the other night amazed at the value we had been before an to be honest wasn't great but now under new management the food quality has certainly improved. The new menu is a vast Improvement also my son loved the play area an I like the fact you can eat whilst they play so you get some peace an quiet whilst the kids happy :) yes this pub isn't modern but it's cosy and welcoming and would highly recommend for value and quality

Quick call in when we decided we wanted to grab something to eat. Really welcoming and friendly atmosphere, helpful staff and great food and drinks. No complaints, and recently under new management this place should flourish and a new menu coming soon!

Very, very dirty & smelly pub. Files everywhere and the lad serving on the bar looked like he'd just woken up. Can't comment of the food as we didn't stick around long enough to try it. But by the smell of old, dirty cooking oil and the dirtiness of the chef I don't think it would be healthy for you to eat here.

Visited with friends as we heard there was a manager change. Pleasantly surprised how nice it's become . Will definitely be returning soon

The local pub, recently been taken over by new management; we had a great lunch a couple of days ago and all the staff were very pleasant and the food was good and cheap! I'm looking forward to seeing what the new management do with the place especially with a refurbishment and a new menu in the pipeline

This is a real gem of a pub within a local community . Friendly staff , great food & covers all sport . Nice and cosy inside . Separate bar and restaurant area too .

Went here for an evening meal a few weeks ago. Although the menu doesn't have a lot of choice what we did have was lovely and fresh. Staff seemed friendly and took the time to speak to us. Very reasonable prices, we would definitely visit here again

What a total sham. Why serve food when infested with flies? I wanted a full breakfast but didn't get chance to have a bite as I was swarmed! I had to leave it. But I wasn't offered any money back.Why not get it cleaned up on the walls, under the tables and fly sprayed every night instead? I will not be coming back again until there are no flies sharing my dinner and it's cleaned up!

Good food for the price, a great atmosphere and lovely staff - would definitely recommend to other people.

We went as a group with children about 12 of us. We ordered food only to be told after some of us being served with meals that others were told there's was not available. We all wanted to eat together. The portions were extremely small for the price.

Went for some dinner and before u walk in your nealry get wip lash coz of the way the pub is designed. Get to the bar to ask for a cocktail menu and a bar man gives me this card board paper, looks like a 3 year old has wrote it, to find out the only do one cocktail and he should of not given me this menu, so had to get a pint instead.Went to order some food the menus where all sticky and dirty and u could not see anything in front of u coz it was to dark and to put u off even more there is a lad who serves food who has no concept of his own smell! My god the smell put me of the food for life i would not eat at this pub knowing he works there So we went to the other pub across the road where the food was nice, there seems to be no managment and peole doing drugs in toilots when there are kids about

There is a selection of main meals for £8.95 for two. We both had bangers and mash, which was served in a large Yorkshire Pudding and peas. Great tasting sausages and gravy. Excellent value for money and we plan to return.

As someone mentioned previously, you get what you pay for! Small portions on small plates at a decent price. Not bad but not good. The menu is very limited too. The place was clean and spacious but a faint smell of urine in the ladies loo. Bleach obviously needed and a good refurb.This place could be so much more successful with a bit of sprucing up, a more extensive menu and a few more staff. The Robin Hood is so much busier and its down to the great variety of food on offer and good service on bigger plates with lots of veg. Decent home cooked fare!
