The Boars Head in Wigan

Always great. Janet and Tony are wonderful. Staff are always helpfull and accommodating. Take our care home residents and was even treated to a Christmas party organised by the lovely Janet one year. ❤️

Good food, great service but (perhaps I'm just getting old).... too many kids

Second time being here. Staff pleasent , food excellent, good value for money.

Great Guinness! Lovely team who work hard and deserve to succeed.

Very friendly and polite and great service

Great food, decent prices. Service was very good and staff were very helpful. An enjoyable meal in an historic pub setting.

Great pub, starters we're phenomenal

Great place to visit for a friendly meal out with family and friends 🧡

Food was really good the waitresses were very polite and friendly, as we got there before 2pm the food was cheaper, excellent pub would highly recommend. JR WILTSHIRE

Great little pub if your mid walk or fancy a light bite

Great little spot for lunch.. highly recommend the ploughmans lunch.. loads on it and at a very good price.

Cosy setting. Great food. Staff friendly and efficient. Good quality food, fast service, reasonably priced.

Great find for lunch. Excellent atmosphere, lovely staff and food was amazing. The breaded mushrooms were sublime.

Called in today( first time), didn’t fancy a full roast, so went for something lighter, as was looking forward to a dessert. Omg it was large and delicious , no room left for dessert. Defiantly be calling in again , I went for seafood platter with chips, husband had steak pie .

Head and shoulders above a lot of pubs for service, dog friendliness, cleanliness and food quality. Been twice now with a party of 6 never had a bad meal. This is a lot better than pub grub but without all the pretentiousness. The sirloin cut like butter! We need some pubs like this is the south of Wigan instead of Standish hogging them all haha

Great place, great food excellent service. lunchtime offer is excellent value. Lots of regular special offers

Beautiful meal, huge portions, you won't go home hungry lol.

Decent pub grub . But probably sign of the times quite expensive.

Lovely cosy pub indoors with a lovely outside. The outside seating areas are divided into benches in alcoves with tvs and heaters. Perfect for the euros!

That's what you call a fish, absolutely delicious.

Great pub food good friendly atmosphere id defo recommend a visit their

Lovely food, great ambience, and very reasonable, definitely recommended.

This place has gone ridiculous in its prices, they are still showing the old menu on their website and the prices have gone up drastically. Soup at lunch has gone from £4.75 to £7.50 at lunch. Disgraceful

Had a meal there today at lunchtime with family. Very good food and service. Highly recommend.

Not cheap for pub food but the quality of the food and the portion sizes were great. Equally great service. We hadn't booked but it's probably advisable if you want to be guaranteed a table - especially on a rare sunny day. Our spends include a few drinks, too.

To dark and gloomy,food average,staff excellent

Food was good but the service was very bad I mean bad .

Great food and great value.Drinks priced reasonable.

What an amazing beautiful place to enjoy your self staff are wonderful and so professional phoned and was so happy with the respect you showed me and you delivered what you said can't thank you made me a very happy Dad x

Very slow service. We were seated and forgot about for 20 minutes. We drank our drinks and left. It was busy to be fair

Excellent food and service 👌 good atmosphere in the pub.

Went for an impromptu lunch here. I live locally but never had chance to go, before today. All staff were lovely and very attentive. OMG the food was AMAZING! and we all had something different. My only complaint, i burned my tongue trying to eat my pea and ham soup so fast coz it was so delicious! Lol Will 100% be returning!

Friendly staff, food was beautiful, thank you so much I will be returning

The food was gorgeous and we had a lovely time there. The service was fantastic and really pleased my friend suggested going there for our evening meal. Will visit again, for sure!

Really nice pub, my only thing (which is entirely personal as a taller person) is it all feels a bit too low for me.

Great food good prices nice homely pub. We called in today for mums birthday cannot fault the food and service. The landlord brought our order a lovely chatty bloke just how they should be. Keep up the good work we will definitely be back.

A real pub with real landlords!! Great place. Pretty much the definition of a real British pub! Foods awesome! Not the usual chain production line!

Food was excellent. Side room a bit chilly but all in all, it was enjoyable

Lovely freshly cooked food ,good value and really nice and friendly staff . Will definitely return again soon 😊 partner and I took Mum for a belated mother's day dinner ,couldn't fault the food or service ,thanks guys

Yet another great meal at the Boars Head. Good sized portions, tasty food, lovely staff. Definitely a place to return to.

Fab lil place, found accidentally, but, stayed & had food

Food has gone down hill lately. Can't make a complaint as it's edible, just not as good as it was. Tried 3 times recently think it's time for a change. It's a shame as I like the place and staff are lovely

Meal for 4 yesterday, great service, food was good, tomato soup for starter, cheese and onion pie for main. The small portion of veg with the main was undercooked unfortunately but the cheese and onion pie was pretty good. Thought it was quite expensive for pub grub but everyone seemed to enjoy it.

After a wonderful walk up Rivington we settled down in the Boar’s Head for a Sunday roast dinner. It was just what the doctor ordered. The quantity of food is a serious commitment - reminiscent of the hill climbed earlier in the day, the flavours do not disappoint with friendly and efficient service. Accompanied with a few drinks and the din of a pub atmosphere we managed the walk home to sleep off the day’s activities. Fantastic end to the day.

Stopped off here for a late lunch we have never been in before the food is excellent will definitely come back 🙂

We booked here again this evening for 9 of us. You get loads for your money, quality of food is excellent and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I love the fact we can take dogs too and we will most definitely be back. Probably the best dog friendly establishment I have eaten in.

Great service by the young lady’s serving . Food spot on really good chef here . Gammon with both egg and pineapple was perfect . She had prawn salad which was massive with lots of succulent prawns . Highly recommended

Very good food and friendly staff 💯

Food was fantastic. All servers were really friendly. Little mix up with our order, probably due to how busy it was, but all was dealt with perfectly. Fantastic BOGOF offer on pizzas. Really enjoyed it

Nice little surprise of a local pub/restaurant. Nice countryside feel to it, friendly staff and service. I think it's dog friendly too. Some seating may be a bit cramped for people sitting down to drink but there's more seating with larger tables if you are eating. They also have a little wood burner and they have live acts as this was advertised on their Facebook page. I had the roast carvery for my meal, very nice! I had gammon but for a couple of quid more you can have 3 meats , gammon, chicken and beef. You get Yorkshire pudding, mash, potatoes, veg and a pig in blanket! I can't comment on other dishes but I do recommend going here for a nice, quiet Sunday roast. This pub/restaurant is busy and friendly and is a nice stop off for dog walkers or if you're stuck for ideas on a lazy Sunday

Went for an afternoon meal with friends, 9 of us. Everyone said the same, it was excellent. The food was home made and hot.

The food is incredible as is the special offer price. The staff are amazing, there was 11 of us and service was amazing

I needed to find a venue for after a funeral. Everyone who lived in the area recommended The Boars Head, unanimous in their enthusiasm for the best food they'd tasted and they're never having had a bad meal. We went to book after a difficult day sorting out the deceased estate and asked if they could squeeze us in an already packed pub. They did and we were blown away by the food, the staff and the price. We chose the deluxe buffet for after the funeral and there are no words to describe the freshness the amount and the quality of the banquet provided for us. Landlady and landlord looked after us all evening and made a sad day very special. Will definitely make this our new go to eatery. Thank yo to everyone.

Thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to The Boars Head. The food was delicious and the chips are amazing. Very relaxed friendly pub atmosphere, will defo be back again 😊😊

Excellent Service and food. We arrived early but the staff were happy to accommodate us. Warm friendly place .

Had a superb meal here and I can’t recommend this place enough for proper good pub food. Huge range on the menu and wonderful service too. Look forward to returning when next in the area. The Cheese & Onion Pie is the best I’ve had in the area.

Great food and reasonable prices

Absolutely love this place and great for dogs

Visited here on Friday for a works lunch with the boss. Absolutely first class from the minute we entered, entrance decked out brilliantly for Xmas with gentle Xmas music playing in the foyer. Greeted at the bar by a member of staff who took us to our table,took our drinks order and left us to look at the extensive food menu. Team member came back with our drinks and took our food order... we ordered a 8oz burger and the fish and chips. Both freshly cooked, home cooked chips and a plentiful portion. This pub was a great find and can't wait to return to take advantage of the outdoor area to watch sport. Thanks to Janet and the team

Dined here a few weeks ago… ordered steak and ale pie with hand cut chips and fresh veggies - got frozen French fries with frozen peas. What a disappointment.. offered us a £1 discount. What a joke. Won’t be going back. Being called a troll as my review wasn’t to Janet’s satisfaction.. now I know why the staff were rude !! They’ve watched Janet at work …

Good food. Filled me up. Friendly staff. Cosy atmosphere and great social setting. Family loved it.

Good place for lunch especially when they have their lunchtime deals on. Meals for £6.

Was here last night for our Xmas meal and can highly recommend Thes food was amazing and lots of it Sevrice spot on never left with an empty glass Good value for money Well done team thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄 Gill

Steak sandwich delicious, busy lively place and great service

Really nice pub good food good Guinness

This place is amazing all round. The setting has that retro throw back vibes, friendly and sociable staff, amazing food and great prices 👌 I will definitely visit again, highly recommended.

I should've worn a looser set of trousers . Proper portions. I loved every bite. I can only recommend the fish and chips. I'm definitely going back to try more of the menu.

Popped in for lunch today. As usual, Janet, Tony and the team were as welcoming and efficient as always. love the atmosphere in this lovely pub. Ordered the steak and ale pie, and it was delicious. Would recommend that you give it a try, it’s the perfect yummy comfort food. The Boars Head never disappoints and I love visiting. 😃

Excellent food and service, staff all friendly and helpful would definitely return.

Great cosy pub with lots of atmosphere.

Went mid week ,very busy ,possibly due to offers that were available .Had tuna & cheese panini which was very good. The service was good, staff very pleasant .

Great food very reasonable prices

Didn't eat but food looked nice, it was very busy so would book in advance

Lovely place 1st time visiting it definitely revisit

Great pub, great tasting food. Ales prices are on the dearer side though.

Love eating here. The food is excellent, all fresh. Lovely big portions. Outside space is perfect at the front and back of the building. Staff are 100% always helpful and very friendly. Highly recommended

My wife and I have been to the Boars Head several times over the years but I have to say that this time I have just had one of the best, well made and presented Club (Chicken, lettuce under bacon) sandwiches I've had for a long time at this cracking little pub, nothing fancy just good food done well. Well done Chef and the rest of the staff 👍

Great food, had a fantastic singer on

Firstly please ignore all negative comments about this pub. Went for lunch today at 1230 The staff welcomed us all so well and the food was excellent I had steak and kidney pudding and I must confess that it was the best one I have ever had. Thanks for a lovely lunch we will be certainly coming back Keep up the great work

Great manager and lovely eatery

Nice outdoor area and plenty of parking, we'll be back to eat next time as the food looked nice.

Had our burger, half the chicken pen not half a chicken and the chicken was moist and salad on the burger and as a side order.. Very lovely meal, we both sat outside in September hot day. Inside looks like a traditional type pub. The service about 20 minutes wait but very polite and friendly. Lot of chicken but more than our stomach that why food was sent back. It cost me £37 with bacon and cheese

Brilliant food and great service from all especially Joseph, a real asset to the Boar's Head very friendly young man

Didn't think it was very professional one of the bar staff chewing, it only looked like two of the staff doing anything.

Car park was full so presumed it was busy, walked in and about 10 people there, was met by a barmaid who wasnt very friendly. Ordered our Sunday lunch, which to be honest was dry and disgusting would definitely not recommend

Great pub, good food. Dog friendly. There's a really nice outside area to sit aswell as the cosy interior.

We went bank holiday Monday, the food was amazing, all 16 of us were really happy with our meals. The staff were great especially the chef Amanda who couldn't do enough for us. Thank you for a lovely dining experience will definitely be returning!!

After a long day out at heigh Hall, we decided to come to The Boars Head for some food on the way home. We've never been before so didn't know what to expect. Here's how it went.... The bar staff were a delight. Super helpful and polite and fast at the bar considering the queue. The food was amazing. Couldn't fault the food at all (although they did forget one of the mains but they made up for it with free ice cream for the kids 😊) we sat outside in wooden huts, which sounds like it's going to be cold but thanks to the 2000W heaters, it was like sitting on a sunny beach in the summer. Toasty warm. Plus, they all had tvs so kids where entertained the entire time. The car park isn't the biggest, so on a particularly busy day you may have to park elsewhere but it's not much of a problem to be honest. The prices where what you would pretty much expect to be honest, so no nasty surprises. All in all, we loved it. And we absolutely will go back again if we are back up that end 😁

Absolutely fantastic very welcoming place. We sat inside with my husband. our daughter her partner & their newborn baby, & Poppy the dog) ( she loved her sausages and chicken it was PAWFECT 🐾 Janet was such lovely lady went above and beyond.The Food was absolutely fabulous hot, tasty & fresh, we ordered Fish & Chips & Pizza and drinks. We was in the area and needed food to eat “ WE DEFINITELY MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE GOING HERE… can’t recommend this place enough we will definitely return again. Thanks to Boars and especially Janet a lovely lady

Excellent pizzas really fresh and tasty.just a long wait (over an hour) probably because it was bogof and very busy.

Gorgeous food, took a while for it to arrive. Friendly staff and great view of the TV in the msin section. Busy but friendly atmosphere. I didn't like the pizza so much but the steak and ale pie was amazing, very traditional. Parking is quite tight due fo the pub being do popular, we didn't bookend were lucky enough to get a table.

Lovely cosy pub with such a nice big selection of food options! Love the outside area with heaters & tv’s. Only let down it took a while to be served at the bar despite the young bar staff looking at me a lot from the kitchen stood there chatting. And food brought with no cutlery or napkin having to go back in and ask for it (second occasion this has happened) bit annoying. Other than that friendly staff and great food.

Lovely food reasonable waiting time helpful staff

Lovely pint of Wainwrights. Dog friendly, great old boozer.

Amazing beer garden and truly one of a kind! Individual little hut-like cubicles with their own TV, charging point and heaters! Lots of room in them too and dog friendly. Even in the rain you could actually enjoy a beer garden! The food was wonderful and the service great! Will definitely be here again.

Very nice pub. with a good selection of food.

Had a wonderful lunch with my parents and was blown away by the generosity and quality of the food. Will definitely be back!

Very nice traditional pub serving good food and beer

Bobbed in for food and a drink. We have two dogs and the dog friendly status swung it for us. Cask Ale choice was limited but many pubs do this is hot weather as demand drops off. Food menu covers all bases so something for most people. We only had a main course but food was good at reasonable prices. Water is supplied for dogs from a hand pull outside, you just help yourself into one of the many dog bowls provided.

Just been and not one person came to us even though the place is half empty when we got in , bloody whippets licking my leg , never again , I've heard it's gone down hill but didn't know it had hit rock bottom
