Juniper Bar & Kitchen in Wigan

Very nice restaurant with a good selection of food

Been here a couple of times. Once for Sunday lunch, good portion size, the beef was cooked to perfection. Food on both occasions very tasty good value and amazing service.

Can't fault this place. Excellent choice on food and wine menu Food was amazing Lovely intimate atmosphere

Went here with my angry Italian girlfriend and left with a very happy Italian girlfriend. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Thank you to Mike (chef) for the recommendation. We will highly recommended Juniper to anytime and look forward to returning soon.

Fantastic afternoon here,staff very polite, food was exceptional, prawn cocktail was lush,battered hake with Fantastic chips & I'd recommend the sticky toffee pudding if you've space , will be back

We were invited by friends. Really interesting menu, fabulous food, beautifully presented. We each had a different dish, all delicious, but strongly recommend the cod loin with choritzo, and the dover sole.

Every time i go here the food gets better! This place is amazing! the food, the quality & ingredients, the staff that go that bit further to help and assist. Exeptional food and a great place, food, staff, atmosphere are all fantastic. Always come away from here happy and cannot wait to return again and again.

Lovely evening dinner here tonight! Family of 7 of us all had 3 courses and was beautiful. Waitress was lovely and very attentive, good menu knowledge , drinks were topped up and overall very good service. Food was exceptional! Every bite was full of flavour and love! Good quality ingredients and every aspect of the dishes was done to perfection Best spot in Wigan and definitely worth the price

Highly recommended. The Sunday roast is superb .top quality as always. Well worth a visit

The menu had an excellent choice, and the food was divine. Lovely atmosphere and very busy on a Sunday afternoon. I recommend booking so as not to be disappointed. Will definitely return.

Nice little lunch for two on a relatively quiet Friday. We were greeted and seated immediately and had water for the table straight from the fridge straight away. The manager /server could not have been more pleasant and helpful. Our two starters, moules marinieres and the goats cheese tart turned up promptly and were both outstanding. Our mains, the Satay chicken breast and the sole followed quickly, but without us feeling hurried, and again were both beautifully presented and delicious. We were too full to justify a dessert, so instead had a cocktail each, which were expertly mixed... I cannot praise this place highly enough. The decor is modern yet relaxed, the food as good as anything I've ever had in some top London restaurants, and the menu itself is thoughtfully diverse enough to encourage trying something out of your normal comfort zone. Give it a try, you won't regret it...

Firstly the greeting. The staff are genuinely friendly and knowledgeable about the food and drinks on offer. They are a credit to Juniper Restaurant. Next, the building is a converted cottage but you don’t feel like the tables are sat on top of one another. Best of all though is the food. We treated ourselves to the Chateaubriand for 2 and OMG it was melt in your mouth. You could cut the meat with a butter knife and was so so tasty. (Sorry Bruno but there were no scraps to bring home for you). No matter how full you feel, don’t leave without trying a sweet. They are all delicious. The chef and owner Chris really takes pride in his restaurant and it shows. We are so lucky to have this restaurant on our doorstep. Sorry no photos, we were too busy eating 😋😋😋😋😋

Christopher you are getting better and better. We love your food

We live in the States, but visit family in the area and we never miss an opportunity to have lunch at the Juniper when we are over in England.

One of my favourite places to eat. Interesting and changing menu. Very supportive service. Thank you all.

Amazing chef and staff, thanks to all the team here especially chef Chris, had a fantastic meal, bespoke due to myy many food intolerances. Great little restaurant what a find! Highly recommend

I love this place. Great staff and great food every time

First ever visit to Juniper tonight with my sister and aunty. Accommodated us with a ground floor table as my sister has mobility issues. I had the Persian Lamb which was absolutely amazing. All food was fantastic and service was excellent. Can't wait to come back 😊

Amazing. Couldn't fault. Service - Superb Food - Delicious Atmosphere - Relaxed Value - Excellent Looking forward to returning.

Had an amazing meal here the other week. The specials board was excellent, staff extremely friendly and attentive too. Thanks all. Highly recommended 👌🏻

Lovely hidden gem of a restaurant. Having been to quite a few restaurants I can easily say this is up there at the top of my list. Never disappointed with the excellent food quality, taste and feel of the place. I always return as never been let down. Wonderful staff and great value.

I had a fantastic dinner with a perfect service. When you are in the neighborhood, it’s worth the detour

First time we have been here, even though it is on our doorstep. Went for Sunday lunch and requested a few small changes to the set menu. This was done without hesitation by the lovely, pleasant staff. Nice and clean throughout, service great and the food was First class. We will be going again very soon and already looking forward to taking our friends with us.

Juniper is a great little find - the food is excellent with a small but well balanced menu for all tastes. We ate lunch here and the food is very good value, 2 courses on the midweek lunch menu for £22. The food was tasty and beautifully presented. The venue is a lovely restored stone cottage with clean, contemporary decor, and an easy journey from M6 Jnct 27. Our waitress was professional and friendly, and managed all the covers in the front of the restaurant without fuss. Will definitely return.

Best meal out in ages. Thoughtful menu, delicious food, mouthwatering presentation, perfect portions for three courses. All served with smiles and charm at a reasonable price. See you again soon.

My wife and I went to juniper for lunch today. The table service by Molly was first class, friendly and she told us about the dishes. We had the 3 course meal the choices were varied and were excellent we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Juniper to anyone. Thanks and well done

Fantastic all around, the staff are brilliant and really take the time to look after you. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be coming here again.

Lovely experience at Junipers, very friendly staff, warm cosy environment with a nice bar area. Good selection on menu, specials and wine/beer menu. Food arrived relatively quickly and was delicious. Price was slightly higher than average however worth every penny and intend on returning very soon.

Hubby and I went along for the John O Groats to Lands End night. We were celebrating his birthday. What a night! The food was out of this world. Fine dining which was so beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The service was excellent , unobtrusive yet attentive. We can’t wait for the next themed evening.

The food was exceptional as always and the service super very friendly and welcoming. We will 100% be coming back. The only downside was the noise. It is a small venue and so the noise bounces off the walls. That's fine, but what was really annoying was the staff constantly sorting the metal cutlery right beside us all night. They were throwing the cutlery into the basket and it was so loud and drove us both mad! Sounds stupid, and it won't stop us going back because the food is so nice, but I'll be asking to sit upstairs next time.

I simply cannot fault this place. The staff here are extremely welcoming and friendly, the atmosphere is cosy, warm and quiet, and the food here is simply Devine. We will definitely be coming again!!

Great petite exclusive dining experience at a reasonable cost very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere 👌

Fine dining ...never noticed anything other than a sit in cafe type venue . Poor quality food . Atmosphere and staff . Not all its cracked up to be .

Fabulous dining experience. Thoroughly recommend. Some really intriguing and appealing dishes alongside more familiar restaurant staples. Staff very friendly, polite and attentive. A memorable evening out.

We went for Sunday lunch. So glad we tried this restaurant. Unlike most of the restaurants/ pubs in our local area (and even further afields), often than not, after looking at the menu offering, do you think why bother going out when you can do the same thing with better quality produce at a fraction of the cost and can have a drink without worrying about drinking and driving? Perhaps it is not cost of living crisis that prevent people from going out but a lack of interesting offers on the menu? Juniper has a good selection of starters and mains and offer a good choice of supplements for fancier choices. I had the skate wings which is not something you often see. Service was lovely, the restaurant was cozy and food was delicious. Highly recommend Juniper.

Absolutely Amazing experience. Food and service totally top notch. We have been wanting to dine here for a while. We came here as it was our wedding anniversary & what a lovely memory to cherish.staff attentive without being obtrusive.The icing on the cake was two homemade "fab" lollies and complimentary mocktails for our anniversary. Can't praise the restaurant enough. A huge thank you from both of us. We will definitely be coming back......

Excellent food and service. A hidden gem.

Would happily go again. Everything tasty, the meat a tiny bit chewy but still good!

Wonderful food, wonderful staff, would recommend.

Excellent food, wine and service. Can thoroughly recommend Juniper.

The food was lovely and our Waiter was very helpful. My wife made a wrong choice of main with her aversion of fat, totally our mistake but the Waiter asked if we would have something different so my wife changed to fish which was lovely. Would definitely recommend this place.

Never had a bad meal or bad experience here. If there ever is a problem it's always very small and insignificant but the staff are always prompt to correct it to give the best experience. I've been many times now and yet to have a single small bad thing to say. High quality food, fast and attentive staff. Amazing!

Visited this restaurant with friends and WOW absolutely stunning. Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten and the service and atmosphere was fantastic. Would definitely recommend visiting this hidden gem. Easily the best restaurant in the North West. Whilst there, it was amazing to see how the restaurant adapted to intimate couples, a gathering of friends and even a 70th birthday party. Simply superb.

Absolutely fantastic place to have meals and drinks. Our 5 ladies had lunch on a Saturday upstairs and we thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, meals and great service. Fully recommended and we'll definitely visit again!

Excellent all round, we look forward to our next visit

We went for the taster menu and it was top notch. We have been before and the standard of food is second to none!! If you have never tried this place, I would highly recommend. Friendly staff and the head chef Chris is superb. Lovely to chat to him at the end of the meal.

Amazing food , had the haggis to start and the wagyu beef roast, loved it will definitely be returning

The food here is always good. I had lamb rump, very tender.

Lovely decor. Warm welcome. Imaginative menu. Beautifully cooked food.

Brilliant as always. Sampled some more dishes and tried the Sunday menu for the first time. Love how often they change the menu, and always happy to try different dishes. The pork belly was well seasoned with sage and onion, paired with champ mash and jus. The fish was perfectly cooked and family members were in love with the chicken wings and noodles salad for starter. I had the caramelised fig creme brulee for dessert, and didn't want it to end. Service was great, and we're more than helpful.

So we literally stumbled upon Juniper on a Tuesday night by accident and what a find!! Upon arrival, were delightfully welcomed by front of house and taken to our table. We were made to feel like old friends even though it was our first time. Juniper is really tastefully decorated and really has a warm cosy feel throughout. We were recommended a lovely red (Montepulciano) that was very reasonably priced and fantastic. Now, onto the food. I had the haggis to start and it truly was a superb starter. Really well thought out and executed perfectly. My wife had the ham hock terrine which was also stunning. Both dishes were presented beautifully and tasted even better. The mains were sublime. My wife had the fillet steak and I went for the Cumbrian lamb rump. These were cooked, presented and tasted like a very high end restaurant. We were both blown away by our dishes. These guys use fab ingredients and cook with passion and flair. I had the caramelised fig Crème Brûlée off the superb dessert menu. Again simply delicious. We also had great banter with other diners which was lovely. Ambience 10/10 - quality without pretence. Food 10/10 - outstanding Service 10/10 - phenomenal service all night Value for money 10/10 - all about perspective but I’ve paid a lot more for a lot less. The night was capped off by a chat with the incredibly humble chefs who should be extremely proud of what is leaving their kitchen. Will we return? 100% YES!

We always have stunning food and excellent service at Juniper. Nothing is too much trouble and we are always made to feel at home. The Wagu steak we had was cooked to perfection and was the tastiest I’ve ever eaten. We can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough!

We love everything about ❤️ Juniper restaurant. Nothing is too much trouble. Beautiful food

First visit. Very impressed. Good varied menu.

The food here is beautiful. The best restaurant in the area!

My favourite restaurant, the food is always beautifully cooked and presented and the cocktails are sublime.

Absolutely outstanding food and service. Just dropped in for impromptu lunch, and could not have been made more welcome. Our starters were brought out very quickly, and were delicious - I had the haggis, and the boss had prawn cocktail. Our mains kept up the high standards, beef shin and seafood crepes. Lovely house wines by the glass rounded off a lunch to remember. Pleasant and efficient service was the cherry on the cake. We will be regulars from here on in....

This is our 3rd new years eve, the food was absolutely gorgeous, the staff are brilliant , nothing is to much trouble for them, highly recommend wouldn't go anywhere else, thank you for a brilliant night xx

We visited for a family meal today. From the moment we walked I. We were treated like we were the only ones there. The food was exceptional. I had the ham hock terrine followed by the Persian beef. Each dish came out like it was perfectly crafted piece of art. My husband had the haggis to start and too was amazing. As a table the food ranged from children’s fish and chips, to the pork rib to burgers, curry and a fish dish. (I forget what it was called but looked and smelt amazing) This by far is one of the best places I have been in a long time.

Lovely friendly welcoming staff, beautiful food and gorgeous decor. The Christmas menu is excellent value for money. A hidden gem, definitely worth a visit.

Had a great mid week meal Plenty of choice and a door specials board. As it was mid week it wasn't packed and would like to go again nearer the weekend when its busier. Called in after the Christmas festival for mulled wine

Just celebrated my 34 yr anniversary with a fantastic meal at juniper’s food just keeps getting better staff are amazing only place you are guaranteed to get consistently excellent food

I can’t say anything but just simply fantastic! Food was amazing and the staff were superb, warm and engaging. I had the lamb rump (not showing on dishes available below) It was probably the best meal I’ve ever had in a restaurant for as long as I can remember! Can’t wait to go back!

Went with friends for lunch on 16th November. Lovely , friendly staff, fabulous food , will definitely go again

We took some friends for a birthday lunch. It looks very small from the outside but what a fab place. Every plate that came out of the kitchen was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. The staff were very friendly. We will definately return. We booked on-line and I would suggest to book so that you dont miss out.

Nice food and they do fish, i had the turbot was lovely. Will be back.

Wow wow wow! Second time dining at Juniper and we were not disappointed. Fantastic food at such a reasonable price. We will be back!

Wow wow wow! Second time dining at Juniper and we were not disappointed. Fantastic food at such a reasonable price. We will be back!

The staff are so friendly and helpful nothing is too much trouble. We had the Sunday roast it was delicious. We try to visit at least once a month. Standards never drop. Keep up the good service and quality food and we will keep coming back.Thank you.

The salt and pepper pork belly was some of the best pork I'd ever had.

What a wonderful family celebration at Juniper’s 1st time we have been with the present owners 12 people including children received perfectly cooked meals at the same time with a wonderful service Would definitely recommend and will be returning in the near future Well done Junipers You made a special birthday extra special. The Wagstaff family x

Beautiful food. Loved the roast fig starter truly divine. Delicious beef for mains. All served in a lovely setting. Staff were fairly attentive and polite. I do feel this restaurant has potential to become truly top hole if staff adhered to food hygiene regulations. ie hair should be tied up, unpolished nails etc. I also prefer to see a maitre d in a shirt and tie. And staff in proper trousers not leggings. You are such a lovely team. These small adjustments would earn you 5*

An absolutely wonderful meal, the food was absolutely stunning. Fresh flavours and looked amazing too. Really lovely service from start to finish. Will 100% be returning.

Had lunch there today and the food was amazing, the presentation was top rate and our waitress looked after us really well. Will definitely be returning

Amazing food anytime but tastiest Sunday lunch there is! Very plentiful and just gorgeous, real great every time we go and the staff are fantastic.

Been here on numerous occasions the staff fantastic very friendly and attentive Food amazing every time I go spoilt for choice slowly going through menu

Spur of the moment lunchtime venture, and what a pleasure it was. Two course lunch menu, could not have been bettered. Fabulous ham terrine starter with pumpernickel toast, and piccalilli. A main of slow cooked belly pork, in a teriyaki sauce with eastern veg and a spicy rice. What a gem this place is!

What else can I say ,,it was superb, 7 of us went for my husband's 60th treated lovely, food amazing we all loved it thank u juniper

Excellent meal served by lovely people

Just on a whim myself and a friend came for a meal as we like to try different places and I must say the food was absolutely 💯 👌

Food was excellent and service was very polite and helpful.

We had a wonderful time at Juniper. Staff were so helpful and food was incredible.

What a delightful little restaurant. Very tastefully decorated and great ambience. My meal was a departure from the norm, and it went down a treat. Easy to miss if you're driving past, and if you are aware of its existence, then parking can be a little tricky. Nevertheless, great little place. Top marks.

Absolutely fantastic food and service.

Had a fabulous Sunday late lunch here and the food was excellent - very well priced too - 2nd time here and definitely recommend trying - you will not be disappointed- great choice of food & good wines - back soon 🥂

Lovely surroundings, very relaxed and good service. Cannot praise the excellent food enough. Have been alot and will be going alot again. 😁

Absolutely wonderful. Staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Food was gorgeous and cooked perfectly. Worth every penny. We will definitely be back!!

I didn't want to post on here, we like this place and the food is consistently good, but I have no response to my 2 Emails to the owner . Our quiet Sunday lunch was spoiled by the waitresses hurling bottles into the recycling behind the bar followed by throwing cutlery into the drawer to the point where we did politely ask her to tone it down. It made little difference and not much of an apology was forthcoming . I know it may seem minor to some but we visit here frequently , have recommended it to many friends and wouldn't like it to put us off. I am sure a quiet word would solve it.

Brilliant food for the price. Good service, staff really friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back

Fabulous food. Service impeccable. First class. Love it 😍

Chris and the team in the kitchen are amazing. Molly and all the front of house team are excellent. Service is top notch and the food is top quality, perfectly cooked everytime. Superb

Visited for the first time to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Warm welcome upon arrival, very attentive service without pestering. Food was excellent, hopefully the photos bring out the attention to detail. Will be returning!

This is one fabulous restaurant. Freshly made high quality food served by friendly staff in lovely surroundings. You can’t go wrong. Great for visiting with families, friends, couples, special occasions, and not so so special ones too. Open for lunches and evening meals. Highly recommended.

Food was good, but not enough to justify the price!

We have enjoyed lunch here many times and tasted everything on the menu Today's lunch was as delicious as ever and the friendly service was great Juniper never lets us down

Outstanding food. Ranges from simpler meals with a delicious twist to top end wagyu and the like. Very well priced and fantastic service. We will be regulars.

Our second visit junipers and another fantastic meal. Large menu considering the quality of the ingredients. Definitely the best place for miles around.

Tasty, mouthwatering food cooked to perfection and fantastic customer service. Together with a relaxed atmosphere that hits you as soon as you walk through the doors, I will definitely be coming back! Thank you for a wonderful evening.
