Royal Oak pub Wigan Road Atherton Greater Manchester in Wigan

Lovely pub, everyone so friendly. Sunday lunch delicious- best I’ve had apart from my own 😊. Proper home cooked food. Pudding’s amazing. Definitely recommend.

Food was excellent and the price was amazing! Staff were great and the jam Roly poly was the proper suet one and it was delicious, a proper little pub with great food and staff

Nice food, nice friendly staff. Freshly made chips, not frozen ones (which I hate). I enjoyed various meals there, especially the beef cooked in red wine gravy and steak in Guinness gravy.

First time at this great pub! We went last night,(Friday),- for the karaoke and were very impressed. From entering the pub and going to the bar, the 'regulars' were very friendly and the barmaid was extremely pleasant and helpful. When I sat down I was trying to move he table a little, in a matter of seconds, she was over and helped me. I spilled a little bit of beer, and again, she was over with a cloth and wiped it up. The landlady is an absolute dream as well,- very attentive to her customers' needs, and obviously loves her job,- full marks!! Some great singers too, and the 'sound' is the best I've heard for a long while; - the people listen, and make it worthwhile singing. We're definitely going again, even though it's quite a fair way from where we live, but it's such a great, traditional, clean pub, - it's well worth he journey! FULL MARKS!!

Went to the royal for a buffet after a funeral, absolutely great team there and value for money. The landlady and her staff couldn't do enough for us. We have since eaten here at lunchtime too and the homemade food is spot on. No hesitation in recommending them to all.

Never been before but met up with friends who had. Couldn't fault a thing. Lovely welcome from every member of staff we met. Food was fantastic, plenty of it and the price was good. Proper homemade chips too. Cash only but I prefer that.

Im being serious when i say their Sunday roast is as poor as it gets "all the trimmings"it said , good 1, no yorkie no stuffing, 2 boiled potatoes and re heated chicken, absolute gash. Burger was good though

I have to give this pub top marks as we eat here 10 to 20 times a year and my last review for here was 2 years ago It can get busy on a Sat and Sun and is always full on mothers day and fathers day The food is home cooked and you can see that there is a lot of staff working in the kitchen behind the bar It is run like a local pub should be and the food is excellent It is on the main road and parking is mainly on the road They dont accept cards so its cash only Would I go back again ? 100% YES

I don’t usually write reviews but after looking where we could get a plated Sunday lunch locally (not a carvery) we found the Royal. Walking in we knew it was going to be good as it was busy with people eating and with a good atmosphere about it. We both had a roast Sunday lunch and with 2 empty plates speaking for themselves we couldn’t fault it. Definitely be coming back. Couple of real ales on the bar as well so even better 👍

Super dog friendly..even brought Stanley a bowl of sausages out .🥰 Lovely home cooked food , huge portions ..no idea how they do it for the prices they charge . There's also a board at the end of the bar with specials on ...I recommend trying the cheese pie its delicious...Good wine too. Landlady and staff make you feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door . It is cash only but there's a cash machine just over the road at the petrol station . Can't wait to return .

Had read great reviews on here and went last night to find a note on the window saying cash only which was very disappointing as I was on a time line and didn’t have time to try and find a cash point in an area I didn’t know. Why is this information not published on the website or highlighted on her. Very disappointing ended up having to go somewhere else serving average pub grub, not what we were looking forward to.

Food was fantastic , portions massive and all food home cooked and so tasty , staff also very helpful would definitely recommend and we will be going back

Just had 3 course Sunday Lunch on a miserable wet and windy day - the staff were friendly and attentive - food was good - home made lentil and bacon soup followed by Roast Dinner - I had Crumble to follow and my partner had sticky toffee pudding - Would certainly call again and try something different next time. Good value for money.

Food very reasonably priced and lots of choice. You get plenty and it is decent and tasty. Lovely staff there and a nice atmosphere. Dogs welcome too! Gets busy on a Sunday so try to get there early doors.

Living in Atherton for 5 years and passing this pace a couple of times a week we had a walk which is out of our routine drinks. We ordered drinks sadly no cards are excepted which we scrapped the coins together. The food smelt amazing and thus tempted us ... lucky the garage across the road had a cash point. I chose a ploughman's lunch as a light meal and a bowel of chips. The chips were cooked in what taste like fresh oil clean and crisp... the ploughman's was a big plateful of nice ham, small onions, a warm baguette, slaw, cheeses, so much to mention and it was amazing .. only regret not going sooner. Down side only cash accepted

Fantastic home cooked food , massive portions and excellent service. We had the wonderful opportunity of two takeaway meals , beef in Guinness gravy and beef in red wine they were amazing!!!! Looking forward to actually visiting when all restrictions are lifted.

On entering the pub and standing where I was supposed to be this individual decided that he was too busy to pour a pint, Eventually I got served and took a seat in the direction he pointed me to. He then came in the room and told me that I was I was sat in a food eating area but no food was being served. Not the best front of staff, he would be better employed in the kitchen chopping onions and peeling potatoes.

On eventually being seated at our booked table there was no condiments or cutlery. When food was ready which we had to bizarley collect ourselves from the bar, probably to save them wearing mask or gloves we still didn't have any cutlery or condiments. When we approached the bartender to ask for some he rudely told us to wait. Absolutely ridiculous with hot food on the table. We had to eventually take them from another table as we saw others do. The beef on the roast dinner was a couple scraps out of a packet.No roast potatoes no yorkshire pudding or stuffing. My daughter in laws chilli con carne had half the ingredients missing . My son had gammon that was more like a piece of bacon hidden under the chips somewhere. My husband did enjoy his braised beef in guinness and my grandson ate his chicken nuggets . The pub seems a nice place to have a drink outside on a hot day. Due to some of the rude unhelpful staff, and bad service especially with covid, and some poor food wont be eating here again.

Love The Royal. Family friendly pub, huge portion sizes and great value for money. Proper British home cooked pub food. Love the chips - always the best!! My fave meal is Herb battered chicken. Always so friendly and welcoming, warm atmosphere. Always busy on Sundays but so worth it!

Excellent food and staff,great value for money. Very welcoming for couples or families. Good British pub food done very well.

Por lo general, comemos aquí al menos una vez al mes y lo hemos hecho durante muchos años, por lo que no sorprende que esta sea una buena revisiónAnteriormente puse reseñas, pero como cenamos aquí muchas veces durante un año, creo que otra crítica está en ordenBuena comida casera {no una cadena)Porciones grandesY muy buenos preciosRecomendamos aquí por comidaJohn

always does the job with the homecooked food. everything on the specials board is worth a try. always guaranteed a warm welcome. you wont leave disappointed.

Muy buen pub relajante, puedes llevar a tu perro siempre que se porte bien, la casera es muy divertida, las mesas siempre están limpias cuando hemos visitado si te gusta un desayuno durante todo el día, puedes agregar más de lo que te gusta

Este pub es como un imán, ¡me vuelvo a dibujar regularmente! Las raciones son muy generosas, la comida es buena y antigua comida de pub, muy sabrosa ya un precio razonable. El equipo trabaja muy duro para asegurarse de que la comida y las bebidas sigan fluyendo con rapidez y que todos estén contentos. ¡Sin quejas!

Called in to meet a friend for lunch. The food was delicious,and very reasonable, lady behind bar was very friendly as I arrived before my friend, she was very easy to chat to and made me feel very welcome although it was my first visit it felt like I was a regular which after this experience I will be going back.

My daughter took me for lunch there today, passedit many a time never gone in. What a hidden gem lovely pub lovely landlady nothing too much trouble for her. Home made pie proper chips fantastic price.

Encontrado leyendo una publicación de Facebook, ni siquiera sabía que el pub hacía comida.Mi madre y yo nos presentamos justo después del mediodía y optamos por un pastel de queso y un pastel de carne, ambos con deliciosas patatas fritas caseras. La porción era generosa comida sabrosa y casera / chef una muy cálida y encantadora dama encantadora. Precio muy razonable para una buena comida. El pub está impecable y hay muchos lugares para sentarse. Olvídese del congelador de ping y ding para que las comidas en el microondas aparezcan aquí para disfrutar de una comida honesta con un buen ambiente

the sunday dinner is excellent....and had other things off the specials board....all good home cooking....lovely polite staff aswell.....well done chrissie. xx

He estado viniendo aquí durante años, el ambiente agradable y el excelente personal hacen que sea un placer, la comida es casera y sorprendente, se aseguran de que te den de comer, los fines de semana el entretenimiento de karaoke es brillante y hay tres platos los domingos para almorzar. Alrededor, me encanta, la dueña, Chrissy, es una persona fantástica.

Very good food and a good pub staff very helpfull been a few times now will be going again soon there is no where to park at the pub so you have to park in one of the streets opposite the pubs

Amo este lugar. Honesto comida casera y precios decentes también. Land Lady es adorable. El personal es muy amable. Por el dinero que pagas genuinamente no puedes equivocarte. Si estás buscando algo para comer, no está aquí. Si busca comida casera, ambiente honesto, carácter y ambiente relajado, el Royal tiene CINCO ESTRELLAS. Oh . . . Perro amigable también. BRILLANTE

¡Qué pequeña joya, pub fantástico, comidas caseras brillantes, personal amable y gran entretenimiento de fin de semana, qué gran descubrimiento, lo recomendaría a cualquier persona de cualquier edad, los precios de los alimentos son geniales, pero asegúrate de tener hambre, dan mucho en un plato, voy todo el tiempo,

Everything is good, good wholesome food, friendly and uplifting. I can't fault anything. Nice red furniture, makes this pub a cosy place to call in to.

Had a lovely lunch here today, nice pub,attentive & pleasant staff.On a bus route if wanting to have a drink.I highly recommend this place, we will definitely be visiting again very soon.

Love this pub for real home cooked food. We go almost every week. The food is awesome, never had a bad meal. The price is £8.95 for a 3 course meal. The staff are friendly, and very family orientated.

I go to this pub once a month with the family the food is superb and all home cooked with generous portions the prices are very reasonable they have a good variety of food for selection from the menu the atmosphere is lovely and friendly

Vinimos aquí para tener una reunirse con amigos

Fantastic family pub, great food, great prices, great choices, everyday of the week, plus karaoke nights on Friday and Sunday nights, poker Monday nights, the best staff around, I love this place, I would recommend it to anyone any age,

Estado aquí en numerosas ocasiones, pero nunca en un pensamiento de domingo nos gustaría probar el asado los domingos. Es casera y muy buena. Tuvimos el almuerzo de 3 platos bien presentados y bien caliente no pude encontrar ninguna culpa, estoy tranquilo y exigente particular. El costo fue de 7.95 con una excelente relación calidad-precio, te obsequiaban con el simpático personal. Sin duda volveremos muy pronto. La mejor comida casera por pub.

No ha sido aquí en un largo tiempo y aparte de una mano de pintura no creo que el interior ha cambiado mucho. Está limpio y el personal es encantador. No tengo ninguna queja. Es una buena y honesta, pub. No es tratando de ser nada más que eso. Si estás en la zona y buscando un lugar para ir a muchos sitios peores que aquí.

Comimos aquí cada vez que tengo un día gratis, la comida siempre es increíble, caliente y fresco, no un loco, hay que probarlo, no puedes remolacha la comida, el ambiente, el personal, me encanta allí,

Buen bar, buena comida, pero había un sobre el lugar flotante de pocos mushing de ron que le dan grandes Lame! Sin duda volveremos otra vez dicho eso!

Great food, all home cooked, always served hot, very tasty, great staff, wam friendly place to go, and if you eat Friday or Sunday around 7 there is a great karaoke on for the rest of the evening, well worth a meal or a night out

This pub has fantastic home cooked food and great entertainment, I can not fault it, I've never had a bad meal, never had a bad night, we all love this place,

The Royal Oak started off quite nice, Good food clean nice staff infact v good but recently, we go every saturday for tea its become not very good the veg as gone rubbish the tables are never empty or clean properly, the staff well one of there attitudes is herrendous! Thinking of starting gping elsewhere on Saturdays from now on!

Yesterday was my Mother's funeral and we held the wake at The Royal and Chrissie did a fantastic buffet for us, everything was so fresh people were going back for seconds. Everyone said they enjoyed it. Thanks for putting up with me keep changing the numbers.Today we went back for lunch, the steak in Guinness was delish but the sizes of the potions beat me, but my grandson the human dustbin polished off every single bit. Thanks again Chrissie you are a star. :) Denise.

I have eaten here quite a lot, the food is always nice, you never leave hungry, the staff are so nice and easy to chat to and if you have a late meal about 6:30 by the time you have finished eating on a Friday and a Sunday the have a great karaoke night, very entertaining evening, I would recommend it to anybody of any age, That's why I keep going back,

I visited The Royal on Wednesday. The food served here is all homemade, very good prices, and large portions. The staff are friendly and very helpful. You are made to feel welcome the instant you cross the doorway. I cannot fault the pub or the food nor the service. Full marks to Chrissy and her marvellous staff. Will visit again, and soon.

The food is great in this pub .the staff are fantastic they a credit to chrissi. Sunday dinner is under £9 for a three

For under £9 you get a 3 course meal - food is spot on and the service is excellent !!! Proper Sunday dinner the lamb is to die for - would recommend The Royal to everybody

When I first put the review, I gave the wrong name for the pub. it is NOT the The Royal Oak, but THE ROYAL on Wigan Road Atherton. Sorry for the confusion.Still the same great food though.

If you want good honest good at very reasonable price, then you cannot beat the Royal Oak on Wigan Road Atherton Greater Manchester.We go a lot on Sunday, where you get a great 3 course meal for less than £9. You have to have a great appetite if you want to finish it all, ( I always take my desert home with me, in a takeaway dish )The very friendly landlady, gives a large choice of good home cooked food. I recommend the steak in Guinness with homemade chips. My son love's there herby chicken, while a friend cannot get enough of her steak in red wine.They serve food daily if you only want a quick pub lunch, or a baguette with a large choice of fillings.The staff can not do enough for you. So if you are near or passing call in and enjoy the food.

We used this place for the bun fight following my fathers funeral. The food was fantastic, the staff were exceptionally helpful and made everything go well. They even followed me back to my parents house in a car and brought me back so I could drink safely.Thanks guys
