The Gasket in West Lancashire

Went to the third Thursday ‘bike night’ awesome vibe, food and drinks available at good prices would highly recommend!

great place to stop and have a coffee and a butty, brill service. always a warm welcome from friendly staff.

I’ve been a few times since reading about the Gasket in MCN. Where to start? Great location, fantastic staff (friendly, helpful and professional), outstanding cake (highlight is the carrot cake or perhaps the passion fruit flapjack - or both) and excellent coffee. Of course, it’s not obligatory to have a motorcycle to visit the place but I know of nowhere else in the region who does as good a job at catering for motorcycles. The 4th birthday celebrations were particularly good. May they go on for many years. 11/10. Thank you!

Little gem off a place ..food ex...host Emma was lovely ...her homemade cakes are amazing such a lovely place for food.

This is one of my favourite coffee spots,this converted shipping container serves the best coffee in the area. Added to the homemade cakes and you have the perfect Sunday morning coffee spot.

This quirky little coffee stop served us beautiful home made cakes and THE BEST coffee!! The cakes really were the best we’ve tasted in a long time ! What a great find ! And very doggy friendly ……… 👍👏👏😂

First visit in a few months but easily the best coffee spot in the district. Love the vibe with all the bikers, dog friendly which is a bonus and more importantly they serve great coffee and cakes.

A really great place. Friendly, great service and awesome food. Great music while you wait and plenty of choice. Coffee super too.

I've been using the Gasket since just before Covid-19 raised its ugly head, its good to see them still going strong but I don't think I ever gave them a review until now. Great fresh brewed coffee here, and Emma bakes great cakes, but arrive hungry as the portions are ermm..... generous. Hot food (paninis, toasties etc) is prepared to order so if you catch the end of the queue at a busy period, you might have to wait a short while for your order to appear, but fear not, sit back and chill at one of the tables, catch a rock tune coming over the speakers, grab an old motorcycle mag off the back shelf and RELAX......... good things are worth waiting for. Dog friendly as well, they get free biscuits and drinking water.....humans have to pay for refreshments. A rather sumptuous outside petty is also available if you ask nicely.

First visit since covid started and really enjoyed. Lovely quirky coffee cafe in a shipping container. Lovely coffee and really good cakes which are made by the owner. Dog friendly which is great, will be going again much sooner than last time

Was just passing through Wigan. Found a lovely place. Best coffee ever. And a lovely and welcoming and friendly staff (Andrew ) Awsome atmosphere highly recommended.

What a place!! Amazing coffee and cakes and the staff are lovely really welcoming , the coffee is amazing and if you love cake this is the place

I love this cafe with its fabulous daily menu of homemade cakes. Always friendly and clean, great coffee and friendly owners. Great to have somewhere so good so local.

1st time we have visited, great experiance,foods great, cakes fantastic and best of all this is a converted shipping container with a motorcycle theme done brilliantly.

The best coffee around, bar none. The cakes are inventive and delicious. The staff are all excellent friendly people. If you are in the area don't go anywhere else.

I live in the village and since trying The Gasket have become a regular. It is a lovely little coffeshop run out of a shipping container, thoughtfully decorated with biking regailia. They have a great variety of well made coffees and various cold drinks. And the sweet treats, gosh, where do I start?! You can expect creations such as kinder bueno rocky road (my absolute favourite), slutty brownies, biscoff cookie cups, raspberry blondies and tiffin to name but a few! For those that don't have a sweet tooth they also serve a limited menu of pananis. The prices are very reasonable, coffees around £2-£3 and cakes £1-2.50. Definitely worth a visit if you're local.

Why have I only just heard about this place. A great place to stop off for a quick drink or light bite. No fancy pretensions, just a good clean and tidy spot. A cafe in a container. Brilliant idea. Hope they survive the present hoo...

It actually is amazing what you can achieve with an old shipping container. The place was very small, in fact it was the size of a shipping container - obvs. But one whole wall was glass folding doors giving a very spacious feel to the...

First visit to the Gasket great coffee and cakes even better music and friendly staff too. Is that 100words?👌

Brilliant place for a coffee and panini, great food, great coffee and good service. Would highly recommend to anybody for a snack/light lunch.

Great coffee shop in a container. Nicely furnished, pleasant staff and probably best coffee in the area. All cakes made by the owner. I had a double chocolate brownie which was amazing. Drinks served in glass jars. Will certainly visit again.

First visit today and was really impressed with what they have done with the place, Great coffee and biscuits and sandwiches available. Really quirky and a great vibe. As someone who lives in the area i’d love to see this place stay open and possibly...

Went for coffee and snack today. Great, friendly place - lovely food and great coffee. Will be back.

Sat-Nav to (What3Words): soulful.jiffy.clipboard ... ... and enjoy a simple, welcome break from the World. Friendly service, great homemade cakes, delicious snacks, good choice of drinks all in a relaxing shipping container !! Sounds quirky/fun ? Haha - it's unique. Totally recommended.

I happened to be passing The Gasket one Saturday morning with my son and decided to pop in for a coffee. It's a bit of an oddity, being housed in an old shipping container but don't let that put you off. It's been very well...

I visited the coffee shop today with a friend to try it out. The decor is lovely and the repurposed furniture was lovely. We opted for 2 flat whites and a peanut butter brownie, coming to just short of £6. These were brought over to...

What a lovely place to refuel the body and mind while out on the motorbike. I loved my Latte and Toastie. The range of Cakes are awesome too! Warm and cosy yet a modern feel café. I can't say I've been somewhere like this before...

Great coffee, fabulous place and atmosphere, very friendly staff.... Just what Appley Bridge needed.

Much needed coffee shop....great sandwiches and cakes, friendly staff and the best coffee for miles!! 1 request....please can you provide artificial sweetener? 😊

Came in to see what was what after it opened. The staff are super friendly and dont mind talking you through different options. The cakes she makes are fab and I come in just for them never mind the coffee

I found this place the day it opened. And if someone had said to me someone was selling coffee and sandwiches from a shipping container and it’s brilliant I would have thought they were mad. But how wrong could I have been. Awesome coffee, amazing...
