The Archer in Wigan

Fantastic home cooked food fresh every day. Very friendly staff. Well kept clean tidy bar/restaurant with a great atmosphere.

A Hidden Gem for Food Lovers I recently stumbled upon the archer, a delightful local pub that has quickly become my go-to spot for delicious food and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The menu is a fantastic blend of classic pub fare and innovative dishes, all executed to perfection. The service is impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff who are always happy to help.

Went for a family meal 23 of us as a celebration .Every course was delicious. Waitresses pleasant and hard working. I would highly recommend The Archer, and will definitely be returning.Great place .

The chicken flat bread was amazing. My wife loved the 'not' fish and chips. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, get yourself down here. What a lovely evening we had

Really nice food best in the area I'm really picky being a chef but the food was fantastic came here with my friends but will bring my family back next time

Great place to go out for drinks and meal.. friendly staff, food excellent. Service fantastic can't ask for any better.. all in all fully recommend. Definitely worth a visit. Dog friendly too.

Have been here many times. Food is always well presented and tasty. Recommebded!!!

Doing well good food decent service bit pricey bit all over ok

Had a lovely birthday celebration at The Archers on 12th Oct..Everyone thought their food was delicious.Looked after really well by from the staff. We will be back. Well done to everyone at The Archers...👏👏👏

Gorgeous Sunday lunch, service very well run and very friendly.

£17 for a Sunday roast that didn't even come with veg or gravy I asked for some gravy and they said they will have to charge me lol wont be coming back

I chose the chicken flatbread whilst dining here. At £16.95, this was decent value for a substantial and tasty meal. The service was very good. There only negatives were the fact that I was with my Mum, who has walking issues and uses a stick. We were asked to sit at the far end of the pub, which was also furthest away from the toilets and required climbing a few steps, which wasn’t great for my Mum. The music playing was also too loud, however the staff were more than happy to turn down when we asked if this was possible.

Brilliant from start to finish. Amazing food and great service. Well worth a visit.

What a little gem this place is! We came today and we can definitely recommend this place. The staff are fantastic and very friendly and can’t do enough for you and the food was so good. Highly recommended and 5 stars from us. Booking is recommended. Cheers Geoff and Deb.

Phoned to check availability at 16:30 on a Sunday and was greeted pleasantly on the telephone. Was asked what it was I would like to do but it wasn’t available but a close second was, brilliantly didn’t dismiss us but suggested a different time and not by much. Turned up with a warm greeting by the staff and seated 5 minutes before time. We’d checked the menu before arrival so had a good idea of what to order. One Sunday lunch and a not allowed dietary steak for me 😂😂 the sauce that came with it was amazing and I’d love the recipe or a bottle of it 😂 both plates fully cleared we had to share a desert! Gorgeous just perfect x thank you The Archer and team

Great place for a Sunday lunch, staff were so helpful and friendly.

Best sunday lunch! Beats all the places for miles, the beef Brisket was beautiful melt in mouth. I've always been funny with roast dinners out as they are always disappointing but not here just very tasty

Had a family lunch today and the food, setting and service was exceptionally good. We will most certainly be back.

Called in here for a light lunch excellent service and atmosphere. Had the Flat iron steak on Focaccia with buffalo mozzarella and fries, very, very nice. Wife had the Brisket sandwich which was excellent. Definitely be back again to try a proper meal.

We visited here for Saturday lunch and the food was fabulous. Presentation was also spot on. Full marks to the Chef. Staff were also great.

Quality food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ample parking Attentive Staff. Friendly atmospher Dog friendly ..Free treats Highly recommend Fish and Chips 😋

It was so nice and relatively well priced

Very happy customer! Great quality and well priced.

Hannah and Becca both hard working, friendly and attentive members of staff. Great atmosphere amd excellent food and drink.

Visiting friends and called here for food. The service, food and atmosphere were excellent. Some lovely dishes and wish I lived a little closer. Thank you

5 star service for friendliness, atmosphere, and the food was amazing beyond 5 stars

Absolutely amazing food, home cooked and the service was fabulous by everyone. Really nice place for food and drink.

Fantastic food. Great local at last.

We had to send my wife's meal back as it was incinerated. The manager did not even have the courtesy to come to our table to speak to us. Disgusting service.

Myself and husband Gary celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with a family meal last night. Everything was outstanding from the quality of home made food to the service and ambience. Thanks to Jason ,joe and staff for a lovely evening.

Went in for just a drink and dessert. Amazing. Will be back to try the main food out. The girl behind the bar was lovely, very friendly.

Had Sunday dinner here second time we have been staff was friendly enough. Brought our new born son and 8year old had to sit in the pub part wich wasn't a issue but there was a group of people at the bar near where we was sitting chonging on giant e cigs near where other children and our children was, after telling a member of staff the reply i got was “well they are regulars” so my childrens health come second to there regulars habits, food was nice but when our deserts came my sticky toffee pudding was stone cold in the middle, i would have expected a fresh one not the same one warmed up in the microwave. Shame !

First visit to this pub and was very impressed with the decor, staff and food . Excellent service too

Great food and superb service. Thank you for the birthday 🍰🍰 a lovely touch and great customer service. We will be back xx

Tried The Archer for the first time. We had the Sunday Roast, one beef, one lamb and a fish and chips. All were excellent with nice tender meat. All well presented and very reasonable. Staff really friendly and welcoming. Would definitely visit again.

Main courses for all three of us were lovely. Deserts a bit of a let down. Had to ask for the desert menu and the bill a few times. Might be an idea also to get a couple of ales / ipa on the bar. Not bad overall - could have so easily been better. Will try again another day. The apple & rhubarb was a low point and I was really looking forward to it! 🤣

Went for a meal for first time 20/4/24 recommended by our son and family we will be going back soon the food fab the staff were very friendly and attentive but not overly and a great atmosphere.

Had a fantastic evening food brill enough said 😀

Lovely, cosy little place, wonderful, helpful staff, food was delicious, will definitely be going back 😁

Lovely Sunday dinner, tender meat and good sized portion. The pub itself is cosy and had a lovely family atmosphere. Only thing that let it down was very minimal gravy and when we asked for more we got charged £1 for a very small thimble sized jug.

We visited with family members ages ranging from 9yrs to 75yrs. All the staff were pleasant & attentive without being intrusive. All enjoyed our food & thought the prices were fair. Our table was perfect for us as oval in shape so we could all talk together. No complaints. Will come again. In fact I did try for Mothers Day but obviously left it too late so am afraid I'm cooking!

Andy the chef never disappoints! Tried The Archer today for the first time since Andy relocated and what a treat the food outstanding! My only disappointment was that I was that full I didn't have room to order the baileys pannacota (iv just thought on that I could have brought it home)😔.. looking forward to revisiting next week. 😋

Went in for the first time. The pub was packed at 6pm on a Sat evening. We was given a table in the bar area and got talking to four people who were very friendly. All the staff were also friendly. I had the fish & chip and my wife had the doubly cheese burger. We both enjoyed the food and will be returning.

Hidden Gem! Went in today with my family (Sun 14/1) having heard rave reviews from my parents. I had the Sunday roast, and I can honestly say it was the nicest and tastiest Sunday dinner I've ever paid for. Never let your chef leave! I will absolutely visit again even if I live an hour away. Thank you!

had the chicken flatbread with a few beers and one of the best meals i've had in a while.

Had an absolutely gorgeous Sunday dinner a couple of weeks ago. We often go in with the dogs and have a drink on our walks, but this was a last minute decision and we were so glad, it was beautiful. Service, as always was fab too !!! Be back very soon !

just popped in for a sandwich wasnt dissappointed either lovely and hot and value for money will go again

Was great for our Ladies Xmas Doo! Large round table, 7 main course meals arrived at our table at the same time....no-one had to wait... wine kept chilled in ice buckets. Attentive, pleasant, efficient staff. Apart from coffeemachine out of order... it was the perfect night out!

Fantastic meal & excellent service, highly recommended.

A great night for our ladies xmas get together. 1st time visited, food was gorgeous. Lost a point because no coffee available after dinner 'machine broken'

We keep coming back to The Archer and for good reason! The food and service is excellent, the Chicken flatbread is a family favourite. Dogs are welcome (almost encouraged!) and ours starts pulling the lead whenever we get with 100yards of the pub. Highly recommended.

Cosy little pub with good service. Food was very tasty!

We visited after performing in a concert . There were 39 of us !!!! Not a problem . The food was absolutely wonderful and the staff equally so. The food was piping hot and the service impeccable. We could not have wished for a better venue and the staff excelled and made a great effort to make sure we were all accommodated for and didn’t need to wait for food. Thank you to Jo and the team , you went above and beyond and we’ll certainly be back. THANK YOU.

Great night out We would highly recommend THE ARCHERS

Lovely staff, great food and friendly diners

Just visited here and had a great meal and great Guinness will definitely be back good portion sizes and lovely staff and customers. I’m as full as a bandits rifle 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Staff lovely, had the steak pie, it was lacking in flavour which was disappointing because the vegetables were perfect. I'd suggest that the chef throws a few more oxo cubes in maybe a bit of garlic. The gravey needs to be thicker

Not been here for ages lovely staff food good nice atmosphere

Having not been in here for years it was recommended by a friend. Fantastic food, we booked a buffet for a wake and the food quality that far exceeded our expectations! The staff were superb and caring on our sad day. Would heartily recommend.

Food good beer good atmosphere ok

Wonderful service and fantastic food

Came here with a friend and the food and service was 10/10. Staff were very friendly and attentive. We both had the Steak and Ale pie and it was delicious. We will definately be back.

Good little pub but wine is extortionate! £7.50 for a glass is more than a hotel. Not sure why but it is a big turn off

Right.. STAY AWAY from this place. Food was superb, service great, definitely going back and don't particularly want to be turned away if its fully booked. Try the Bulls Head, you'll be ok 👍

Went in at 5oclock so was quiet with quick service

We had a great meal (home made) Great friendly staff and good service, not expensive. We will be returning.

Table booked in bar as no room in resturant , asked for table back before we had time for dessert , over priced food, lamb sliced so thin couldn't taste, it very disappointed . Really need to provide better value for money .😞

Very friendly staff and always a good meal.

Excellent food and service, will definitely return.

The food and service here are exceptional. We will no doubt become very familiar with their menu with future visits.

First time visiting today and have left very impressed. We had a booking for 4 adults & my little boy. The staff were incredibly accommodating. They took our drink orders quickly, with another member of staff checking we’d had our order taken also. The food arrived quickly and was lovely. We had beef & lamb roasts which we all said we’d be back for again. Great portions and was clearly all home cooked. My boy loved his pizza. Staff asked several times if we needed more drinks or sauces etc. The highlight of my experience was how lovely the staff were with my boy. After demolishing his pizza he wanted to roam around and the staff were very polite about this, paying him lots of attention which he was smiling about :) Thank you for a fab Sunday dinner. We will be back again x

I visited this pub on Thursday over the years I've been when it was the Road Inn. How it's changed. Very welcoming, comfortable and good food. The staff on Thursday were second to none. Efficient, friendly and helpful. Only one slight grumble,,,please do a smaller portion😁

Food was nice, plesent atmosphere would definitely go again.

Beautiful food today for an early tea. Lovely service too, couldnt do enough for you. We will be back x

Excellent service, excellent food and excellent value for money. We clocked up with our booking, so we were over an hour late, but it wasn't a problem. Very accommodating and our dogs were well treated also. Highly recommended 👍

First visit wont be the last. Excellent sunday lunch and amazing service.

Brilliant service lovely staff and amazing food

Really lovely place and tasty well presented food... A little more expensive than other places but lovely staff and great wine.

Our visit was the 1st since it reopened. What a change. Superb food served correctly and without delay, which considering we were a large group was really good. We have a lovely afternoon

Lovely pub, friendly and helpful staff. There wasn't a huge selection on food but we still found suitable things to eat which were nice (the risotto was a little small in comparison to the other meals but it was nice).

Food wasn't very warm when it arrived. Lamb was very pink, steak was chewy. Chicken breast had a bone in it. Bit overpriced. Desserts were very nice.

Came for Sunday lunch as a family of 5. Had to ask for cutlery as the main course was being served, none was forthcoming so I had to go and remind the waitress, who was talking behind the bar whilst my partner's food was going cold. I asked for mint sauce to accompany my lamb, I'm still waiting for it.....My mum hadn't finished eating when one of the waitresses attempted to take her plate away. Not our best meal here and I won't return in a hurry. We all left feeling rather disappointed.

Visited here end of November - for a Sunday roast with family. Booked a table (4pm). The food was as you’d expect. The reason for the less stars was simply around service - there was no chicken available which sometimes you just have to accept - but we were surrounded by large table bookings. Those tables seemingly got all the attention and priority. We ended up going to the bar to pay - after waiting over 20 mins with finished plates in front of us and left.

Excellent food and service. Staff are very pleasant, and attentive. Excellent team work. They're a credit to their employer. Will definitely be dining there again in

Outstanding pub food. Lovely staff. Recommend the fish finger ciabatta and the burger. You won't be disappointed..

Decided to chance it without booking. It was very busy & the music was a little loud as we walked in. However, we managed to get seated by lovely staff & the music didn't seem as loud there. Everywhere appeared spotlessly clean & the food smelt delicious. The decor was chic & the ambience was cosy yet comfortable. Communication was top notch & despite being told that service may be delayed for 10 minutes due to a very large party that had arrived infront of us, we were served quite instantly. No sooner had we ordered & our starters were served & drinks were offered at the correct intervals. The cauliflower starter was out of this world & piping hot. The garlic bread looked & apparently tasted amazing. The portion sizes were perfect! Onto mains & everything about it was perfect. The time served, the portion size, how it was cooked, the temperature & presentation. It truly was faultless & we would love to visit again.

Lovely atmosphere and really friendly staff. Recommended trying their menu and Sunday roast is top.

Great food and drink, fabulous atmosphere, friendly staff, well worth a visit, it’s nice to have a great pub in my doorstep 😃

Table booked at The Archer weeks ago for Christmas Eve for 6 people at 6.00. Get there - no table! New booking system! Merry Christmas! No stars but couldn't post without one
