The Gates in Wigan

Mediocre cafe, charges £2.70 for a pot of water with a singular tea bag, cakes are ok. Not amazingly clean but not filthy either. I wouldn't call it cheap and the food standard doesn't meet the price charged for it. It's close to the hospital so convenient for relatives of patients.

£12 for sandwich and a can of pop is a bit steep

The food here is very good and great value for money. The staff are extremely pleasant and not a long wait to be served.Although I didn't have any there cake selection looked delicious

A lovely vibe and great food. Staff are very welcoming (thank you, Jane!), and the carpeted seating area with sofas give a much-like-home feel. The chicken club on slightly toasted bloomer was absolutely delicious. Will definitely revisit.

Great coffee,friendly staff. Janes always very helpful & pleasant 😀

My children and I come to this cafe often. The food is always lovely and the staff are wonderful. Nothing is ever too much trouble. It’s like seeing old friends when we visit. It’s usually really busy but the staff just take it in their stride. We love Jane, Annette and Isobel who are usually the staff working when we visit but to be honest, all the staff members are so helpful. I can’t believe we only found this place in December. We love you guys. Xx

Lovely coffee shop, very good food, including cakes! The staff and owner are very friendly and helpful. Also a good selection of gifts made by local people

Wonderful place with a lovely atmosphere. Reasonably priced quality food and drinks, friendly staff and dog friendly..well done The Gates 🥰

Always have a great visit here. Annette always looks after us especially good with dogs which are very welcome if behaved.

Love coming to this cosy cafe with friendly Jane and Annette. The food is always delicious and very good value. Would strongly recommend as a relaxed and very welcoming place to eat.

Really enjoy having coffee at The Gates. The staff are courteous and attentive in a pleasant ambient environment. We look forward to seeing Jane who always (time permitting) spends time catching up and chatting with customers.

Go most weeks .. love the friendly atmosphere. Staff so nice. Food fab. Dog friendly too! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend a visit ..

Always a lovely warm welcome at this dog friendly cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Tasty sandwiches also delicious cakes, millionaires brownie is delicious, and ice cream. Alcohol is served but I've never ordered this so unsure of the range available.

Can’t fault this lovely little friendly cafe , very reasonable priced , I did have a sausage toasted sandwich also 10/10

Memphis is aways happy to go to the gates

Great place food freshly prepared and staff brilliant and nice to see they employ people with AUTISM first rate well worth a visit

Fantastic cafe with amazing food, coffee & cakes etc. Quality sausage butty and a brew this morning!! The young girls working today were all lovely and do an amazing job.

Amazing little place for a coffee and some food. Loved their fresh soup of the day. Amazing flavour and great price. The service was excellent, the staff are really kind. Will highly recommend. Plan on come back more often.

Lovely cafe and a very good decaf mocha.

Nice food quick service relaxed atmosphere

Well I wasn't expecting that! Came in for quick coffee and almost decided not to have a bite to eat when i saw the prices... but glad I did. They went out their way to make a ham and cheese toastie At first I thought it was a tad expensive until it arrived... lovely side salad with plain crisps and plain vinegarette. Even the chocolate on the cappuccino was lovely. Definitely recommend the Gates.

I'm a regular customer at the Gates. Its brilliant place serving fabulous food and drink. The staff are so helpful and friendly. Its a great place to catch up with friends for lunch. I love it. They also let well behaved dogs in too.

Great atmosphere and good dog friendly

Lovely cafe. I'd been past many times, and it's only recently I've been in. Each time I've been, it's been great. The staff are welcoming and friendly and the food is lovely. The sausage butties are yummy! Asl had some lovely cake here, too! At the moment they have some special hot winter drinks. I had a lovely spiced apple one the other day, and my hubby likes the coffee's. There is also an opportunity to buy local products here. I got some honey here, which was delicious. They also have gifts, candles, jewellery, and crafts that local people have made. I picked up a little Xmas decoration. The crafts are cash only, but the cafe does accept cards for food. You can ring ahead and book a table, sometimes advisable as it's a popular place. As you walk in, they have a photo board of all the doggy visitors they've had as they are always welcome. Such a nice touch. I would recommend this place to anyone xxx

Always nice this place, proper home-made cakes and slices and good coffee too. Dog friendly too with a wall of smiley dog faces to check out!! We'll be back soon.

Noticed this place as I parked outside whilst visiting a relative in the hospital. The place itself is just a short walk from the hospital and the decor, ambiance and friendly service make it a true oasis in which to take a break from the hospital environment! A warm friendly greeting and efficient service was appreciated. The price and value for the food and drinks I’d describe as good. I will certainly be returning any time I am visiting the hospital!

Paid a visit to The Gates , been several times before 😊, just ordered something light to eat with pots of tea . Reasonable prices, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Handy to drop in there after an afternoon walk .Would recommend it .

Just spent a lovely Sunday morning, having a bacon toast and a cuppa with M and Izzy, brilliant.

Dropped in for a coffee and a Sandwich when visiting Wigan hospital will go back and have a look around the area there are a few nice walks and this cafe is dog friendly

Lovely staff and delicious sandwiches and cakes! Will definitely be back

Stopped off for a coffee with family. All ok.

Absolutely awful food. Visited The Gates when it was first opened after being taken over from the previous owner when it was named The Allotment. Went for lunch with my partner and had a Tuna salad sandwich each. Could have made it better myself at home. Cheap supermarket own brand bread and very thin with cheap tasting Tuna. Unappetising and unpleasant. Never returned until yesterday for breakfast for Mother's Day. Ordered a bacon sandwich but it was called "Butty" which I instantly thought cringe! With thick cut bread. My eye thick cut. Again cheap thin cut supermarket bread. The bacon, well it was like a sheet of metal and you could bang it on the table and it made the table shake. Awful and inedible. I took it back and said it was rock hard. The waitress apologised and did offer another but I said no. So just had a pot of tea which was nice. My partner had a teacake which he said was ok. The other waitress did come out and again apologised and said my order had got mixed up with another customer who had ordered their bacon well done. But there was nobody else in. I wonder why? Will not be going there again and I certainly do not recommend it for breakfast or lunch as the food is terrible.
