Manchester Road Cafe & Sandwich Bar in Wigan

Four of us booked for the Christmas meal. Food was excellent and service friendly as usual. One of best christmas meals we have had and great value. Well done and thanks.

Loved this place, food and service excellent

Very disappointed with level of service today. Waiting to be served, loads of staff about, couple sat down after us on next table got served right away, we were ignored. Waved for attention, got acknowledged but still ended up waiting even longer. Ended up walking out after long wait. Can't comment on food today as didn't manage to get any. Regular customer until today. Won't be using again.

can't go wrong here guys, great breakfast or lunch available

Good choice of meals, daily specials, friendly staff, and very reasonable prices.

Excellent food and service at very reasonable prices, definately recommend this cafe. Also dog friendly if you are prepared to sit out side in a covered area

Where else can you go on a Saturday morning have a full breakfast with a hangover and get a pint of Stella highly recommended the staff beautiful I would probably bump into anybody who reads this because it is absolute excellence

Absolutely fantastic place to dine. Service perfect.Food stunning.Immaculate all round and reasonably priced too thank you 👍

Been for a large breakfast this morning. The service was fantastic and certainly friendly. The breakfast was hot and of great quality. Highly recommend a visit.

Fantastic breakfast every time. Fantastic service. Highly recommended.

Just had our lunch and as always it was lovely .

Really busy and no surprise, the food is great

Went this morning for a full English breakfast, and it didn’t disappoint. Excellent and efficient service with fantastic prices. This place always seems to be busy and now I know why. 2x large breakfast 1x bottle of coke 1x coffee £20.30

Top of the range cafe Just what you want Full English to Ploughman's Excellent servers and atmosphere Hoping for this to be my local when I relocate, highly recommended

Been a few times now. Great food, lovely friendly staff. Clean accessible facilities. Would highly recommend without hesitation.

I have been visiting this cafe with family for a good few years now. We would recommend this cafe to absolutely everyone. We love it here. From the amazing, delicious breakfasts to the luscious, homemade lasagne and tasty Steak Canadian and exquisite omelettes - the menu caters for everyone. The staff can’t be faulted. They’re so friendly, you can even call them friends after only a few visits. The cafe is the cleanest myself and my family have ever visited as well, from the floors to the cutlery. Highly, highly recommend.

Rammed this morning, couldn't wait 30 minutes for my order,went back at lunchtime,fresh products,recommend the place

Good service, excellent food. Staff always smiling and helpful, especially Emma who makes a cracking cup of tea - not too much milk 2 10/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A nice place with friendly and helpful staff

Excellent Cafe value for money couldn’t find hot drinks list could b my fault will b going again

Excellent food staff are excellent

We didn't order food on our visit. Heard from other people the food is good. I noticed people were waiting quite long for food and drinks after ordering. Maybe there are quieter times!

Watched a band with supper included in the ticket price, I'm veggie, so Barbara gave me cheese and onion pie instead of the meat dishes, very kind and it was lovely.

Amazing place. Been a few times, never disappoints

Worked in Worsley for years and there's never been a decent Cafe, I know it's a drive from Worsley but worth it

First class service. Freindly staff. Excellent food.

Spotless clean ,was full but tables well spaced so didn't feel crowded Servers amazing orders taken promptly Got drinks served in lovely large cups We had a small and a large breakfast Both excellent piping hot and excellent quality Toast served warm and buttered Sauces available Will def revisit The table nextdoor had scrambled egg which looked lovely a suggestion for next time ? I am picky to be honest and loved my breakfast and are everything

Love this cafe. Food is always good, and always hot.

Excellent service full english breakfast is tremendous. i also try and call here for my lunch if I'm close by ham & cheese salad barm hits the spot everytime would highly recommend

Just called in for a takeaway coffee was met with a big fat NO they were too busy, it would be 30 mins. WOW safe to say definitely won't be calling again. Obviously not bothered about new customers. And can afford to turn money away

Great breakfast, good service, clean and nice staff.

Always busy. They must be doing something right!

Beautiful food , served hot and with a smile 😃

Lovely little cafe. Dogs are welcome in the area outside (partially covered). Really good coffee and excellent service.

The food was great and the service was lovely very clean.

Been here for the first time today and ordered a Big Breakfast with extra spam and hash brown. Best breakfast I've had in a long time, staff where fast to take orders and to clear tables. Defo be back

Really nice full English breakfast at a great price

Loved it. Food was very good. Lovely atmosphere. Would recommend.

Quick service. Plenty breakfast options. Very clean. Friendly staff. Reasonably priced food and good portion size. Will go again.

Had a lovely lunch with Mother today...we had been putting pots on Family graves over the road... so we decided tp try MRC..we will visit again in the NY...lovely gem of a place..🎄🎄🎄☕️☕️👍🏻

We had Christmas Dinner here on Friday 8th, the food was lovely, service exceptional and would highly recommend. To all the staff have a lovely Christmas. X

A place I would definitely visit again. Nice food and happy staff 😊😊

One of the absolute best breakfasts in Leigh without a doubt. I don't think I've.ever had thicker, tastier bacon than in here too - it's great value and very friendly service! Only one downside is that they don't have any lacto-free options for hot drinks, but the food is that good, it's definitely not a deal breaker!

Best breakfast I've ad in years real sausage bacon so tasty,service was top notch,cud even watch a telly or 2 on the wall,highly recomended

Ordered for collection 2x bacon egg hash brown one with ketchup one without only to get home and have no egg on either but ketchup on both! Definitely won’t be going again

Great sandwiches, super quick and friendly service. 👌

Nice food, but as we was queing to pay I noticed a staff member shout at another staff member for putting dirty pots at the side of the sink! Where was she supposed to put them? 🤔

Best place in Leigh for Breakfast.

Fantastic food. Would highly recommend anyone to try it out

I go with my partner as she lives in Leigh and we can take her dog in the outside garden .really good breakfast you can build yourself highly recommend

Big breakfast was very tasty, although the sausages were a bit burnt. A pot of tea was the same size of a cup of tea, which is disappointing.

Lovely friendly staff and the food is fresh and good portions, the prices are standard, will go back again.

Great service but didn't rate the Full English that much. The accompanying toast either needs a lot more butter or Jam. As it comes it's hard to swallow because it's so dry.

Very nice food, lovely chopped salads. Good value for money. Can be rather noisy.

Really nice little cafe decent size full English breakfast at good value for money dose get busy but still a nice treat

First visit today (5th June 2023) and was very pleased with the food and cleanliness of the cafe. The staff were very friendly. Will definitely call again. Did call again, excellent lasagne. And again, giant Yorkshire pud with veg and turkey mmmmm!

As a child, my family used to travel up and down the length of England using North Western Coaches, stopping at various cities and cafeterias en route. I have the fondest memories of good cafes, good food, good service, and a sense of fulfilment, having visited the usual venues. Manchester Road Cafe is a very smart, clean, and healthy reminder of that kind of nostalgia, and when you go inside, there are plenty of tables and chairs that are comfortable, well laid out, clean and welcoming. When you look at the menu you are given a good selection of choices starting with two types of full English breakfast with either one or two items of each of the main ingredients, together with a range of meal variations/combinations, together with other meals normally associated with later in the day, all at excellent prices. There is a good number of staff members, both in the kitchen and serving/waiting on, which ensures quick, efficient, and very professional service, which minimizes the wait to receive the good quality produce. Everything is freshly made, there are good size portions, and there is flexibility, particularly in the breakfast at the time l was there. If you don't like a particular item, you can swap it for an extra one of the others that you have on your plate. For example, I don't like black puddings, so I had an extra fried egg in its place at no extra charge. Well done, Manchester Road Cafe. I also like a good mug of tea, and that's certainly what you get with your meal, together with 2 rounds of white or brown bread, toasted. There were beans, tomatoes, eggs, bacon, and sausages, which were gorgeous to enhance the eating experience. Full marks, great service, and seems to be doing exceptionally well growing in popularity. A distant family member of mine had a transport cafe for over 50 years, with his brothers and his father, and business is always good throughout the morning and the opening time here of 8 am and finishing time around 2 p.m is perfect both for the establishment and for the times that we are ready to eat. I'm sure you'll enjoy all that you have and have no hesitation in recommending it to you.

Once again freshly cooked food to mouth watering perfection. Can't beat this place.. Definitely recommend.

This was the 1st time I had been to eat in the restaurant, I have had takeaway a few times and thought it would be great, how wrong I was it's amazing to think that the staff don't know which tables are which and it was only after the problem we had that they put numbers on the tables. We ordered two small breakfasts with brown toast each and the toast didn't turn up. When I asked a waitress she then went away and then came out 5 mins after to ask if we had had it. We still hadn't. By this time the breakfast was getting cold. A man then came out and asked us if we had had the toast and that if we hadn't he would not charge us for it. All I wanted was the toast but rather than argue with the guy I said just forget it. I just wanted to get out of there because we felt we were being made out to be lying about the toast. Not a great experience. May I suggest you give your staff more training on where the tables are and what numbers they are and maybe give them certain tables they should look after so they can manage them to a better standard. It's just basic stuff. On leaving we overheard the next table to us say that they had sent two lots if brown toast back. Because they had not ordered it. Clearly a communication problem. We live local and go past everyday and have always wondered what it would be like to eat in. Now we know, We won't be doing it again. Food was good would have been even better if it was warmer but as I was waiting for my toast well enough said. Such a shame

Really good cafe - nice food, great staff and speedy service.

My partner and I have visited this cafe several times in the past few months and on all occasions the food has been excellent. I always have a large breakfast with 2 hash browns while my partner has a small breakfast with 1 hash brown.The staff are always very friendly and helpful. Overall it's very good quality and value for money.

Had lunch there last week. Had a pint & then a burger with fries & salad. The beer came with the biggest head on sp had to ask for that to be sorted. Food was nice, but both meals were meant to come with salad - which we had to ask for. When asked about it, the server said the chefs only put salad on if people ask for it. But why would people need to ask for something that's included in the meal.

Lovely breakfast, quick service and the chilled drinks are really cold :-)

Food is always delicious, had the club sandwich worth the money, and the wait at the weekend when it's busier.

Great food nice and hot. Lovely place to eat. Nice choice on menu but we loved the large breakfast.

Good food, good prices polite staff, will go again 👍. And keep going 😁

We've been three times in a short space of time, but this review is for the first visit a few weeks ago. I eat a fair few cooked breakfasts and my main bugbear with most establishments is that the ingredients come out at different temperatures as though they've been pre- cooked and just plonked on a plate when someone orders. Every aspect was piping hot and of the best quality. Proper decent sausages, thick tasty (and cooked to perfection) bacon and gorgeous toast. The mushrooms, black pudding, egg and beans were all great, too. Loads of attentive staff and super quick service. Just one small point that really niggled me (but they're still getting a 5* review) is that during the first visit I said to the young waitress how good the food was and she was saying about the quality of the ingredients and asking if I knew the opening times as the place was open for evening meals. She really was a great ambassador for the place and encouraging me to come back when a young male in a cap and short goatee came over touched her on the arm whilst she was talking and said she was needed on Table number (whatever). This turned out not to be true as she just went back into the kitchen, not to any other table. This made me feel like it was my fault keeping her from doing nothing in particular and being a nuisance which was as far from the truth as it could possibly be. It's a bit ironic as in the two other visits, all Ive seen him do is go round talking to customers. A case of one rule for him and one for everybody else, it would seem.

Fantastic breakfast everytime we go .cannot fault anything

Cracking breakfast, never had a bad meal here

Friendly staff, clean, great food and great prices!

Brilliant service, very friendly staff, great food ...would highly recommend

Food was delicious, service was friendly, 1 of the best café iv been to

Good food staff are very helpful 👍

Good food very busy at weekends.

Great food , very clean , service was good but all meals didn't come at the same time . Would definitely go again .

Excellent place like being in Spain when the sun's out

Food was very good and even though it was busy we didn't wait long for the meal

Amazing food today, although hash browns should be added to the large breakfast.

Wow, what a whopping, perfectly cooked breakfast, and at such a reasonable price!

Lovely build your own breakfast And a beltin Cappuccino

Brilliant breakfast , fantastic value, excellent service.

I last came here 2 years ago and left a really bad review and vowed never to go back But after hearing good things i decided to give this place another go an wow what a difference a couple of years can do. The place has had a huge makeover, the till area has it's own place, the kitchen area is run as a proper kitchen with staff on designated areas and all wearing hats dealing with food the pot cleaner however could put a cap on also. The place is now really clean and tidy and deservedly really busy. The only downside is .... i ordered a takeaway and seemed to be standing in everyones way yes i know this is petty, Well done Manchester Road cafe & sandwich bar, i reccomend this place and will be back

Excellent little cafe. Good food. Good service and very reasonably priced.

A real gem. Nice clean traditional cafe style layout inside. Food is cooked to perfection, good sized portions. Reasonable prices. I had the large breakfast, what a mega feast it was too. Coffee was excellent. Highly recommended.

Great food, great staff and great prices. Go there regularly when I'm in the area.

Perfect poached eggs! Great atmosphere clean and friendly and service is well organised

By far the best breakfast in Leigh!! Highly recommend

Lovely place , staff very efficient, and food is always spot on

Went at lunch time, had a jacket with salad which was lovely and mum had a breakfast. It was really busy and friendly atmosphere.

Great food, Fast service, reasonable priced, friendly staff a nice atmosphere to sit in while having breakfast.

If you're from Leigh, you probably already know that this is the best place for breakfast! Service was excellent and fast, the food was unbelievable and the staff were incredibly kind. This is the first time we visited but I can assure you that every time I come back up time see my family, I will be making sure I pop in here for my breakfast. Si.ply amazing!!

Staff are very friendly and the food is always delicious

Can’t beat Manchester road cafe as great food and great staff. Even if you turn up at 1.50pm when they a close at 2pm they will still serve you as they are so nice.

Very cute and atmospheric café. Very friendly and helpful staff. Delicious food and hot chocolate.
