The Bucks Head in Wigan

Great place for beer with friends, the atmosphere and service is awesome.

Amazing from start too finish came in from not in the area and literally was made too feel so welcome honestly this pub is amazing

First Class food and drinks with excellent service as ever - our 'go to' venue when we are anywhere in the area vvm recommend it

Arrived on a Sunday. Restaurant area quiet enough and managed to get a table no problem. Sundays are carvery only with options being S, M or Large. Choices of the usual meats or some of all three. No vegetarian meat alternatives but possible to have the full Sunday dinner minus the meat. Vegetarian gravy was made upon request. Food was poor. The mash was tasty, but it hadn't been mashed, quite a large number of potatoe chunks. The vegetables were extremely overdone to the point the brocoli was a washed-out light green colour, almost grey. Brocoli takes around 4 minutes to cook, so I am unsure why this wouldn't be cooked on order. Carrots and cabbage very overcooked and watery. Meats were tasty but quite dry. Yorkshire pudding nice but cooked from frozen and same with the roast potatoes, but I could be mistaken here. Gravy was nice. £10 for a medium sized carvery is a good price but not reflected in the cooking standards. TL;DR - Good service, nice decor and atmosphere. Food way below average. I'd much rather support local business than the usual Carvery chains but this place really must up their game to compete for return business.

Had the steak baguette wow 10/10 so succulent I take my hat off to the cook great service great atmosphere definitely going back thank you bucks head

Had sundaycarvery it was delicious and staff are lovely I recommend this place 👌 ****

Went to book a meal for my dad's 80th birthday, but decided on elsewhere, overall friendly staff, and nice place.

First visit to this pub. Sunday carvery was beautiful. Food was excellent, staff are very polite, helpful and ensure you receive the best service. Will definitely be returning.

Great place to eat. Staff are wonderful and are always there to help. Food was great. Nice carvery with a sweet dessert to finish. Great Sunday carvery nice and cosy.

Great food. Great Ale. Music and sports TV. Kids park, pool and darts.

You can't go wrong with the food and service whether you eat in or take out allways been a favourite of mine at a reasonable price also dog friendly no snobbery at the bucks head friendly staff friendly atmosphere friendly people..

The food was ok the staff were welcoming

The food is absolutely delicious I would definitely recommend this pub to eat. The staff are all friendly and polite. The meals are without doubt good value for money. You should definitely pay a visit to this pub.

Took the wife and family for her 50th.. Can’t praise the staff and landlord enough.. The food was amazing made to feel welcome was there from 4pm staggered out at 1130 as the atmosphere was brilliant . Mixed grill was awesome …. Thanks again from Ron and Donna

Got a take away carvery and it was delicious!!

I'd you value your money and see this place Run!!!

This place is without a doubt the place for Sunday roast, me and my family come here every Sunday and never had a bad meal the prices are decent the desserts are lovely great family freindly atmosphere me and my family have been to many places for Sunday roast all more expensive but no where near as good hence why we will not go anywhere else but here all the staff are great go out there way for us all the time

Food is amazing here. Something for everyone. Never disappointed. Atmosphere is lacking but that's my only gripe. Doesn't affect the food though!

Lovely place , food was OK took a while and was empty at time , but suppose home cooked food takes longer , and you know its fresh done, I did enjoy my fish but person i went with would prefer it a golden then a dark brown batter, Portion size good value for money.

Took a family party of 14 mixed ages. We all had a great time, the service was excellent the atmosphere relaxed and friendly, the food perfectly cooked full compliments. Would definitely go again an certainly recommend.

Amazing place, so welcoming and beautiful place, highly recommended and looking forward to visiting again this week.

Popped in for tea friday as per good food & choice. Roasts on Sunday are great too, get on it!

Excellent food & dining experience, our table was delightful decorated. Had a 3 course meal, all tasting divine.

Lovely food good service will be going again soon x

Only went in for a drink or three, great staff, very friendly atmosphere. Welcomed personally and really looked after from the owner. Suffice to say, this is now or new local.

Luv this pub it was quite the day we were in but it was nice because we could chat...

Went for a carvery today. Staff were all very friendly, the food was lovely, tasted like proper home cooked food. The apple crumble and custard was devine. Then sat outside in the beer garden. Great area for kids and adults. Lovely place, recommended.

Advertised as a 'carvery' we expected to help ourselves, but no you have what you are given. The portions are adequate with a choice of meats but no turkey which is my favourite. The service was a bit slow, but not too bad. There were 6 of us in the party but only 4 knives and forks in a dish on the table and no serviettes. We had to ask for more cutlery. Not a place I would visit again or recommend..

£18.95 for a mixed grill that comes with a chip shop sausage? Nope. The steak was overdone and the chicken dry. The only really good thing about the mixed grill was the chips. However, the vegetarian lasagne was very nice and loaded with garlic bread.

Lovely food excellent service, expected it to be slightly busier for a Saturday x

I went with my son, his partner and my daughter for my brother-in-law's funeral post-funeral event/wake We had travelled up from Birmingham and my daughter and I are both vegan, my son is vegetarian. Despite having notice, they said the only vegan food they could provide was bread and salad. Welcome to the twenty first century, Bucks Head. Ever heard of supermarkets? Not difficult to get vegan margarine, cheese, crisps etc. Hobnobs are vegan, for future reference, although I wouldn't recommend any vegans visit this place.

Absolutely amazing place to go Staff are welcoming food fab...

Fantastic place to eat & drink, Friendly staff, quality food & the best Sunday Carvery around

We had a lovely meal. But would have liked meat Lasagna, not just veggie version 👍👍

Really nice carvery at the Bucks Head today, lovely food and welcoming staff. Thanks Chris and your team for a lovely meal 👍

A lovely warm welcome as we arrived. The place was well managed for the current situation and felt comfortable and safe. We were served quickly and I had messaged in advance to see if they could cater for my dietary requirements, as I'm unable to eat gluten or dairy. The manager spoke to me at my table to advise what was suitable for me. Beautiful food, freshly cooked and well presented. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Food served Wednesday to Sunday, and I will definitely be back. Also easy access for wheelchairs etc.

Had a lovely meal with the Grandchildren last week 👌

I recently visited The Bucks Head in Abram and had a great experience. The food was lovely, and I especially enjoyed the steak pie. The seating area was quiet during my visit on a Friday tea time, which created a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. Overall, I had a great time at The Bucks Head, and I am looking forward to returning in the future.

It was first class. Great food, great hospitality and service with a lovely smile. Xxx

Lovely local pub with great food.

Always good for a few pints, friendly staff

Terrible beer (keg only) but otherwise a nice place.

Amazing, absolutely amazing food, I highly recommend this the meat and veg are cooked to perfection very tender and soft

First time but will definitely go again, excellent food very friendly staff

Beer bit dear but otherwise brilliant

Wanted to try this friendly looking pub. Turned up without a reservation ( not a good idea ) but they was very pleased to fit us in. Beautiful carvery. Definitely coming again.

Nice friendly service, nice food.

Ok pub , atmosphere a bit clicky don't really feel welcomed, could be a really good place

Food was excellent 👌 price good Will return

Excellent friendly staff and quality carvery

Took the family with friends to the firework display last night , we had heard reviews it was good but never been before... The reviews were wrong it was amazing not just good!!!! Great atmosphere, lots going on and the fireworks were spectacular all done to music... Well done too all the staff and who. We're involved... Will be going next year and definitely spreading the word...

Warm welcome, child friendly, tasty food and service with a smile.

All reet pub clean and staff are very nice

Had a meal food was great,staff were lovely and very helpful to

Sunday lunch was great. Other opening times for food and food offerings needs looking at. Midweek pie I had was poor. Will go again though and try other offering. Service and staff good.

First time visiting the Bucks Head, we enjoyed the Sunday carvery. Service was excellent,food was perfect, a really good plateful of traditional roast and veg, exceptional value.

Not good, steak tasteless, been frozen and defrosted. I’m a steak eater and that was one of the worst I’ve ever had., I know my steak. Very overpriced & Too many fly’s around landing on our food.

Food us excellent, very good prices. Staff brilliant.

honestly the best service & they’re all so so so friendly and reasonably priced !! special mention to tash & josé!!!

Nice put. Used locally and by passers by alike. They do pub food. a man vs food steak challenge is available too

Nice food bit pricey but what isn't these days

Good Beer. Burgers are very good and the garlic bread with cheese is the cheesiest, garliciest, greaseyest I've had...it was great. Service was a bit slow.

Great beer garden plenty of seating and lovely food

3 meals ,mine was fish n chips , very average ,overcooked fish and batter , peas and tartare sauce were nice .. Misses had chicken Gyros which was very nice , daughter had Buck burger , she said it was ok , nothing special . Plates smelked of wet dog .

Only called in for a quick drink sitting outside overlooking the bowling green.Drinks are a bit pricey as are the meals

Friendly staff, reasonable prices, good selection of drinks

Went for lunch today fantastic food first class service 👌

Very poor food. Very little portions. Not worth the money. Give it a miss.

I had to leave this review im so disappointed. It used to be best in Lancashire. Now it's no longer value for money very poor in fact. Ordered large and medium carvery got 2 extra potatoes and 1 extra Yorkshire pudding. Asked what I wanted on plate large so I said plenty mash and carrots and turnips please. Yet got a square plate delivered with same portion as medium. What a rip off. Total with 2 pints was £30.30 I would have paid £40.00 if they hadn't have tried cut portion sizes to make up for lost profits in covid. No wonder you can't recover. In these bad times. Carrots are hardly gonna break the bank are they. Oh and roast potatoes rock hard and too big. They used be delious don't in chip pan mmmm not any more avoid like the plague.

Absolutely first class pub grub. Excellent quality and more than enough quantity. The staff are perfect. I'll definitely be back

Never had a bad meal here, always our go to place

Food was fantastic and the service was excellent

Amazing food, great ambience, lovely staff friendly pub can highly recommend

Absolutely brilliant carvery and luvly staff will definitely be back thank u all x

Delicious carvery on Sunday Polite friendly staff Lovely atmosphere

Last minute decision to go for a carvery at the Bucks Head. Didn't book, arrived at 1pm and we were easily seated at a table for two. Ordered 2 medium carveries with beef and pork. Plenty on the plates, just right for us, we cleared our plates not a morsel left. Finished with Apple crumble and custard. We thought the meal was excellent value.

Great food delivered with a smile, my favourite place for a Sunday carvery. Weekday menu is fantastic as well. Highly recommend.

Disappointed. Expected to have a decent meal after reading the reviews. We arrived to be informed only serving carvery, which was served for us, and only had a choice of pork and or gammon. Plate was swimming in gravy and the food was a mix of hot and cold, and pretty certain the gammon wasn't cooked through. Needless to say we picked at our food and left 20 minutes later. Won't be going back.

Lovely place. We had Christmas dinner as a family here. The food was nice and service was great. I would definitely recommend coming here.

Absolutely beautiful food, highly recommended 👌

Last visit had small Carvery £6 (well can’t really call It carvery as don’t help yourself) but today choose medium carvery £9 but only plate larger although plate had two inch edge so centre of plate small. You hardly get any extra food on this one as Yorkshire lies flat on plate taking up load of room maybe got two tiny extra roast potatoes and a bit of extra meat, so disappointed on medium size. Better getting small as they pile food up and put Yorkshire on top paying extra £3 on meal for nothing.

Food was very nice, tables cleaned after each customer finished, free carparking at rear of building. Wheel chair access included.

It's been tarted up nicely now thanks nice eating area x staff friendly 👍

Great place for families, really friendly staff.

Food was top notch as always firework display was amazing fantastic family local pub

Fantastic pub fantastic food thanks Tony for your hospitality.

Very nice sunday carvery,choice of meats,plenty veg ,good price,nice staff

I'm not sure I went on a good day, after reading reviews I was very disappointed with the carvery. I won't be going again.

Nice place but the alcohol is super expensive considering you have no competitors in abram as you are the only pub. 🤔

Amazing Sunday dinner, fabulous staff!!!

We went on Thursday lunch time, very good food. Would imagine gets busy at the weekend and may need to book.

Cavery ok but not warm enough but couldn't fault desert lotus biscoff cheese cake and ice cream delious

Food took a while but worth the wait! Excellent.

Fantastic pub with great food. Went for lunch with wife and 2 kids. £50 for 2 adult meals, 2 kids meals, 2 sides 2 pints of Coors and 2 pints of coke - amazing value and monstrous portions. Will absolutely be going back, really chilled place, we loved it there.

Excellent carvery and service as always x Thanks Chris and staff x ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great pub, lovely food and hospitality

Can not recommend highly enough. Great prices, lovely decor and friendly staff. The food is fresh, portions are great and you leave feeling not only full but knowing that you will be back soon.

Photos of carvery are false advertising. Service was slow and had to keep asking for drinks

have visited many times, and during the lockdowns we had a carvery every week. It definitely is the best Carvery in Wigan.

The food was cold it tasted nice
