Came here for breakfast ordered 10.50, received food 11.25 not a good start, black pudding warmish but frazzled, bacon very fatty and cold, I asked for poached eggs, not done properly and cold, toast well not toast really think it was placed in the grill and taken out straight away, cold, sausages were ok warm, hash browns well done but warm, would I come again......I would try as soon as the doors open as I dnt think the kitchen staff can cope when it gets busy......shame.

Very rude blonde young girl with an attitude problem, she takes our drinks order and then she just walks off and starts washing pots after waiting there for about 10 minutes for our drinks we ask if she has them and she said with a bad attitude I gave you them so we said no we haven’t had any drinks and she repeated again well I handed you your drinks but I can make you another if I have too and we said look we haven’t been handed any drinks so yes please then her co worker pulls out our two drinks from about a meter and abit down from where we was stood hidden directly behind the till where you can’t see from behind the bar. We never got an apology she just gave us a bad look.

This is a Wetherspoons in Wigan Town Centre. The usual "spoons" food and drinks are available, which are great value for money. One thing that always annoys me is, even though there is an outside seating area at the entrance, you ALWAYS have to walk through cigarette smoke from people standing in the doorway!! Plus, people were openly vaping inside the pub, disgusting!!!!!!!!

Spoons always gets a 5. Cheap prices fairly decent quality and different carpets in every one. Service was confusing as missing things off order but all resolved quickly.

My food was fine, but it shouldn't be hard to cook a poached egg and toast, but my wife ordered pancakes with bacon and maple syrup (god knows why) but they forgot the bacon when she told them it didn't come back to her until she asked and was stoned cold, they didn't think to warm the pancakes or give her fresh ones, so we ate separately. Oh and the freezer refills coffee, when we went back both machines were not working.

All the other waitresses and everyone else who works in weatherspoons are always 5 stars out of 5 so kind so lovely however at multiple points I have been singled out by an older woman once when I was homeless I was really tired and she used this as an excuse to kick me on the street whilst I was harassed by a group of people who followed me from pub to pub trying to abduct me I complained about this she just put me on the street this was February so while ago now ever since she wouldn't let me back in until summer she stopped bothering me as obviously I've done nothing wrong and I'm not banned and have never done anything to cause anyone harm or any problem everything was fine until last night my partner proposed to me and we got engaged at this weatherspoons my partner is 31 and was served at multiple points with alcohol for us both until we wanted the mango and passion fruit cocktail it wasn't loud or busy so there would be no reason for her to mishear us she put the wrong cocktail through so obviously we told her she then makes a remark to us saying yes we wanted this cocktail when obviously we didn't as obviously that's why we let her know she had made a mistake she then after being very moody with us saying it was us whi had made a mistake asks to see ID which is fine obviously my partner didn't have ID which obviously check ID sure but the problem is she herself had put the drinks through the wrong drink before asking and getting confrontational with us and saw us at multiple points drinking in weatherspoons several drinks beer cocktails and she said nothing until she put the wrong drink through and then because my partner didn't have ID however I did she wouldn't serve him but then when I asked for the drink I wanted she said I could only have a beer so I decide to leave as she is very much trying to cause an argument also blaming the drinks being served on other people working there when my partner is 31 and no offense to my partner ha ha definitely looks 31 it's obvious he's over 25 however I understand you need to ID but why put a drink through for us in the first place then blame everybody else when she's seen us drinking blaming other people for serving us when she was about to do the same thing she blonde skinny older woman maybe late 40s early 50s she ruins it for everybody else who does a very good job such a shame won't be returning

the drinks, especially the pitchers, are always really good, however the food can be very hit or miss.. the waiters also take a while to clean the tables sometimes, and i've seen 3/4 different groups arrive and the glasses from the first group are still on the table. this is only usually the case on busy nights though. however, if you're going for a casual, cheap night out in wigan, i'd definitely recommend!

This pub is part of the Wetherspoon empire. It has decent food for the price, which lets you forgive to some extent that the sausages were undercooked, and the free refill cappucino tasted like water at breakfast. I took a large breakfast which was rather pricy for this kind of place. The pub feels very cramped and claustrophobic, like cattle parked with almost no space between the tables, which were is much too high a number. Other customers there are also not of the nicest kind. They give you long unpleasant looks and are rather rude. There is no parking nearby, so one needs to walk there.

Don't normally leave negative reviews about "spoons" because they're normally pretty good but... Ordered a simple breast katsu curry which took 20 mins to come even though the app says 5 minutes, then I only got 2 poppadoms instead of 4, spoke to the guy that served my food and he said he would check with the kitchen, that was over 20 minutes ago and I've now finished my food... The cider doesn't taste great either. Shame..

The only time a staff member approached us was to bark at us to fold my daughters pram down. We waited 45 minutes for Luke warm food, which we initially wasn’t told about the wait (we wouldn’t of minded waiting if we were informed) No apology even the food came, staff member, a shift manager or shift leader rolled her eyes at my 1 year old as she got up out of her chair as she got restless with the wait. Throughout our miserable stay heard several members of management? I’m assuming as they were dressed in their own clothes, BARKING at customers, and told customers they were too busy to resolve complaints. Baring in mind it’s obviously a very busy town centre pub some customer service training really needs to be done, if management is THAT bad I feel sorry for the staff, how do they cope? Never again.

Much like many other spoons pubs. Cheap, decent quality food. Local, national and international beers at very reasonable prices. Personally, I only drink beer. But there's loads of other drinks on offer. The only downside, is all the town centre riffraff you get in here. Most people at pretty courteous.

I think it’s about time someone put a recent review on here as many things have changed and not for the better. They don’t serve food and haven’t since the unfortunate death of a previous landlord. RIP Mick. The last year things have gone from worse to worse and although customers going in, who have got involved to revamp the experience with social events like quiz nights, it’s only the friends that go in make it worth going in at all. Firstly, the drinks on draught, are hit and miss for quality, with the lack of gas one issue and then, the scandalous pricing for a local pub in a family orientated area the other. If you compared these with the centre of Tyldesleys prices, you’d wonder why people drink here. Most of the staff are inexperienced and rude and don’t do the basics like, collecting empties off tables and generally keeping the place tidy when there’s no one at the bar. The snacks ate not replenished and run out of things often. You end up going to the local coop or even, bring food from the takeaways from the precinct next door. The adjoining “vault” area always seems like there’s something dodgy going on and I’ve seen certain staff popping off to the toilet after being handed something and could explain why some are rude and act like they own the place. Many times they’re swearing in front of families and occasionally ranting at customers, slagging the place off and saying why do you even come here, “it’s a s hole”. Then there’s the actual sports shown there. Some tvs don’t work properly, the sound is in one area and the surround experience they keep telling you they’ve had installed, is really bad. Lots of cables dangling down and mounted tvs look unsafe. If you put this on top of the pricing, why would you go in to watch the football regularly. Now to the kids play area which hasn’t changed since I moved into the area in 2001. The climbing frame looks unsafe and there are nails and other things around and the fencing is constantly broken. They have double the space out the back but, only use half of it and again it’s just really untidy and not very nice for families. They have added benches to the back and to the front of the pub in a small beer garden but, the back drop of that is houses opposite and the sometimes busy Stour road. Overall, it’s over priced, staff poor and the only the reason I go in is the people who go in to socialise with but, we all complain about one of the mentioned negatives. Not an enjoyable experience if you think about what you get for your money. We all live within walking distance and just deserve so much more from a local and could be so much more if someone actually ran the pub properly. Most days it’s empty but, if the pricing was more affordable for all, it would definitely be well frequented and you’d see even more local people choose this pub instead of doing the 10 minute walk to Tyldesley. Such a shame after the previous owners started to get food off the ground and it was more affordable overall.
