Kirkless Hall Inn in Wigan

Absolutely amazing curry, best one I've had for ages. Will be back soon.

Absolutely fabulous meal - this place is run by Indians, so don't mess about, select one of their authentic Wigan curries.😁 Absolutely delicious, and so friendly. The perfect reward after the Wigan locks. We had to wait a little because they don't open until 2pm Wednesdays, but it's seriously worth waiting for!

Lovely little find on the Leeds Liverpool Canal, we were walking and decided to pop in for a quick drink, we ended up having lunch here too and it was delicious, the staff are really nice and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Looks a little bit dated but we are so glad we called in.

This pub is a gem! Initial impressions were that it was a little run down, however, when we ventured in for a drink we found them to be very welcoming, the decor fresh and super clean! We did not have any food, as we had already eaten else where, wish we had though, it sounded amazing! We had a very interesting evening chatting to the owners in the bar and their little shop next door. The drinks were very reasonably priced, and looking at the menu I would say the food not only sounds great but is the cheapest I have seen for years. Well worth a visit, especially if you have come from the canal like us, and worked all of the locks up the Wigan Flight. If you ask nicely you may even get a certificate to show you have completed them

Just had meat samosas followed by chicken curry with half rice/chips + naan, absolutely delicious. The place is a little outdated but the pub is worth a visit for the homemade Indian food, and of course a beer or two.

Half way through our walk. Sat outside as we had pets with us but the weather wasn't brilliant. Would be fab when the sun comes out 🌞

We usually take the dog for a walk along the canal and pop in for a drink. You have to sit in the back room, which is fair enough. Not everyone likes dogs. Food is lovely, reasonably priced, and a good selection of drinks. Owners are very friendly and pleasant. Nothing is too much trouble

Nice to see this place open again. Great stop for a pint 4 miles into a walk. Very friendly and welcoming staff, will certainly be walking this way and stopping again

Nice cold beer besides the canal top lock

very comfy and nice little pub! went with my parents there and the food was fabulous, i loved the waffle, it was very soft and sweet nice atmosphere and good place to chill with your friends thank you!!

Great news owner with great ambitions and plans moving forward. Great menu and smells delicious walking to the inn from the canal path. We're looking forward to the planned Caribbean event. The Kirkless Hall Inn is going from strength to strength. Can't wait to come back 😀

Lovely staff Lovely food. Beautiful views of the canal.

What a lovely place to stop off for a hot meal or a cold drink it's home cooking and great service just what the local community need to keep places like this open we all need to show our support and call in for a Sunday lunch it's very good value for money and great to see the place open in hard times

Couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming. It was over new year so food deliveries had been affected but by speaking to the landlady we had a fabulous meal and they made us and our dog very welcome

Great people relaxed atmosphere

Great place, lovely owners and staff and excellent food.

Love this pub ❤️ perfect food 🥘 curry was amazing 🤍🤍🤍

Come to the kirkless today, and first of all the staff are really friendly and helpful, I ordered the curry and samosas, which again was really nice and was quickly served. Can tell it was homemade too, I also had the waffle which was superb ! Thanks to the lovley lady that served us!

Lovely people serving good drinks, food smelled good but no time to try it

What a lovely pub and just what you need after climbing the wigan flight, nice people who will do anything with in reason to make your visit a pleasure, and the food is very much home cooked, give it a go, and dogs are welcome in the sports bar, the complete package

It's not bad to stop during the walk next to the canal

We've been travelling on the canals from Leicestershire to Chorley and I can honestly say that this has been the most hospitable pub that we've stopped at! Landlady is so welcoming and chatty, a real pleasure to stop here after doing the Wigan Flight 🥵 let's not dwell on that but they gave us a certificate for completing the upward flight and cooked us some lovely (very last minute) food which was very welcome!! Happy to have our dogs there as well so I'd say the best pub all round! 5 star ⭐

Awesome place, beer, food and staff - what's not to like! Yx

Great bar, very busy, friendly staff, took a little setour from the canal whilst out walking highly recommend

We were a group of 8 friends who hired a boat from Ellerbeck Narrowboats. We arranged to have lunch at Kirklees Hall Inn. We all ordered the curry which was served with rice and naan bread. I ordered a veg curry and it was the best I have tasted for a long while. Everything was freshly made and it was fabulous. This place is a gem and the owners were lovely. I presume it will get busier when the locks reopen. We will definitely return and maybe try the Sunday lunch.

Only called for a drink while walking the dog. It was too early for us, but the Sunday roast smelled lovely. Will definitely try it soon

Limited opening hours. All day breakfast not served till noon? Just re-opend, so give it a chance. Good canal-side location. Will be back.

Great pub right alongside the top lock of the Wigan Flight.

Lovely pub by the canal, the new owners and staff are lovely

A lovely setting by the Leeds-Liverpool canal on the path towards and near Top-Lock. Food and Ale. Dog friendly.

The food is very reasonably priced and was delicious. Lovely clean, pleasant surroundings. Helpful staff

Amazing customer service and lovely food. We had gammon and chips was excellent 10 out of 10 . Wrote a review not long ago saying we would try the food and sorry didn’t get round to it well now we know what we are missing we will definitely be coming back

Yes nice to see this pub reopened.Handy to call in for a pint when you have been for a walk up the canal.This pub dits on the side of the canal so on a nice day really nice sitting out.Nice and clean and very nice owners prices reasonable.They also serve food so thats a bonus.

Although staff friendly the menu was only one choice and pub was dirty and tables sticky

Very nice pub you can sit on the canal

Great place to get a drink and meal for a great price with friends and family

Delightful hosts .. good range drinks n good food worth a visit xx

Great to see this canal pub back open, nice friendly staff and the grub is spot on, well worth a stop off if your stretching your legs on the canal

Good atmosphere friendly staff good food 👌

A great canal side pub. A little quiet due to weather, time of year, and current limited usage times on the locks. Landlady/staff very friendly and welcoming. Food menu is limited, but excellent and amazing value. If anything it is under priced. We will definitely be back! 😎

Excellent meal. Came back again!

Car park, isn't much of one. It's all gravel. The pub is old and out dated inside. Located by a lock so the view is nice but is in the middle of a council estate. To me it didn't feel homly. Wasn't my cup of tea. Had a coffee since I was driving and it was just out a sachet.

Popped in for a cheeky pint on my walk today. New owners are nice and i will be in again when passing.

Nice people running it Pleased it's re open A d nice little shop at side Well done

We had a great afternoon at The Kirkless Hall Inn today. We arrived at 11.00am and asked David who managing the shop next door if we could park in the car park while we walked the canal to Standish Lower ground, 5 miles. No problem he said. We got a taxi back after the walk and had a couple of beers and some samosas and onion bahjis, the service was spectacular and everyone was very welcoming. Thank you.

A superb and friendly place. Staff and customers, 100%. I shall return.

Basic good food , owners very welcoming. Only 3 star due to lack of food choice

Great to see this old pub up and running again and being looked after so well, lovely owners and staff. Great service

Newly opened (18th November) really lovely new owners very welcoming can't do enough for you nothing is to much trouble we come for food or just a cheeky drink both really good. Very clean and fresh looking. To anyone in newsprings/Aspall who wanted this pub to re open come and show them some support you won't be disappointed.

Newly re- opened looks great very friendly new owners

New owners have done the place up great. Dave is brilliant took care of our group and the food and was excellent. Can't wait to go back

Recently reopened (November 2022) We were pleasantly surprised to find it open and serving lunch which was excellent.

Very friendly pub couldn’t have been made more welcome. It’s just reopened so we called in for a drink haven’t tried the food yet but will definitely be back to try

Newly opened and nicely decorated with lovely clean toilets. The beer was very good and reasonably priced

Lovely warm cosy place and dogs welcome after a nice walk along the canal

good position on the Leeds Liverpool canal ...good views of the staircase locks ..Nice beers and snacks limited opening times

liked it since i was 12 ?mikds have liked it !!

No food, only weekends!! No dark rum only spiced, on the bar noticed to say no food for at least two weekends also!! Suffice to say we didn't stay. Narrowboater, September 2019

Stopped on way back past just because... It was sunny, I had nowhere to be, and I had cash... You need to sort the card thing out guys. I would have had food but only enough cash for a couple of beers which were served perfectly by the way. Best pint of Banks ever.

Basic pub with very good value for money basic grub! Really nice manager Gareth who was very helpful & who offered to store my kayak safely in the basement! Well worth syopping off at.

Great place to eat the food is excellent staff are very friendly good value for money and you can take dogs in the tap room

Good pub in ideal location alongside the canal

So sorry I did not mean to leave a review. i have never been to your pub! I was planning to visit this afternoon. I must have clicked a button without knowing! I am sure yours is a fine inn and I wish you the very best. Sorry if it affects your average score. If I do call in I will rectify the review!

Great place to stop for a beer on the canal

Lounge area shut so had to use the taproom to buy my drink, it was full of yougish blokes and felt quite intimidating. Its a shame because its a nice looking pub on the canal

Dogs not allowed at a pub on a canal? WHY!!

Great place to stop on the canal towpath for a beer. Food is also served.
