This pub is a terrible pub wouldn’t advise anyone to go there. There was a member of the bar staff with blond hair who was swearing at a customer at the top of her voice. She only looked about 16. The manager just stood and watched it and did nothing about it

The owner of this pub not only intimidated me and my wife but was jumping from man to man making me and my fiancée very uncomfortable. When I found a bug looking substance in my meal she ignored my complaint and moaned at the bar about me. Wouldn't come here again the owner disgusted me.

Thought I would try it out as I'm local to the area. Not a good idea. I waited for a while for drinks to ordered despite seeing a worker of higher authority (a manager) outside smoking. When the food eventually arrived was getting late and had to watch this manager get tossed between a few gentlemen in front of my son. Food wasn't as awful but have never experience such behavior from a manager.

I have made frequent visits to the Robin Hood over a few years and I can only describe as getting better and better. The service is second to none with a vast selection at the bar and food menu, with a good range of chef specials available too. I had myself a Sunday Roast but my partner ordered off the full menu 'cock and Bull'. I would agree with previous reviews that the food is freshly prepared and plentiful and my partner is constantly mithering for a return visit. The pub itself has a Country feel but stylish and has a separate restaurant area for diners as well as a cosy bar are for drinks afterwards. I would overall say that a visit to this Hidden Gem is definitely worth it and I would expect you not to be disappointed. Venue 4/5Service 4/5Car parking 5/5Toilets 5/5Food 5/5Drinks 5/5Other facilities 4/5Overall I rate the Robin Hood a 5/5!I will definitely be visiting again ☺

The food offer is typical pub fare but it is well cooked, nicely presented and served with a smile. There is a decent choice and also a special lunch offer. The restaurant area is quite small and engenders a cosy, quite intimate, atmosphere. This was not a first visit and I can certainly foresee returning in the near future.

We went here yesterday for dinner the food was delicious and the waitress that served us was really nice and accommodating. But then it all went down hill..... the manageress decided to hold a staff meeting on the next table whilst we were still eating , to say it was uncomfortable was an understatement. Not only due to the nature of the conversation and how it was relayed to the young staff members but also really should there be a staff meeting in a room were paying customs are coming out to have a dining experience and to relax? We couldn't wait to get out of there which was such a shame. The meal cost £50 which is absolutely fine as no complaints about the food but felt a bit robbed of a nice relaxed dinner. I really feel that this meeting or more of a "do as I say or you know were the door is meeting " should not of been held in the main restaurant. Really unprofessional. Such a shame as lovely food

It's over 2 years since we had an issue here. We reported on this site and the reply was that the chef no longer worked at the establishment. Fair enough but out friends would not return so we went alone.Busy time just before Christmas but there was an empty table (we hadn't booked - naughty) so all good. No issues at all as service, quality of food and pricing was excellent. We were approached before ordering to say the food would be served in 30 mins due to the large numbers of people, but food turned up after 20 mins so Well Done..!!Lots of locals come here as it is a bit harder to find for the casual diner (down a side road with no signposts). That's a good sign that the beer is good because they still have an old fashioned bar side where drinking, chatting and stroking your neighbours dog is the norm.Would advise booking as space is limited - yes it's back on our visit list.

We ate here last night for a change and we were not disappointed. We were greeted by a young gentleman called Andrew, he showed us to our table and took our drinks order. After some deliberation over what to eat, and after saying I wasn’t going to have a starter I soon changed my mind.I had the prawns to start and my husband had the bruschetta, for my main I had the gammon and my other half had the rump steak. The food was amazing it tasted lovely and was very well presented. Can’t wait to go back for my birthday meal

This pub has really started to go downhill fast. Last few times we have been chips just frozen but accepted this as most places gone same way. Today had garlic bread with cheese which used to be delicious, we were presented with a piece of baguette with a melted tasteless cheese slice on, not a trace of garlic. The wraps we ordered were all wrap and the salad bag on the side had been in the fridge a few days too long. the prices remain the same if not higher though. Disappointed.

Stopped of at the robin for a bite to eat the food was ok apart from some burnt chips, but I think this place has gone down hill a bit compared to what it was , needs more Caron the menu and not replace thi food for madras, needs to up its game again before I would entertaining back here, a shame as the food was always good instead of ok.

my partner had been a long time ago and said it was nice so we thought it would be nice. we rang and made a booking but got there early the staff was nice and told us we could go in and take a table anyway. the thing i didnt like to start with was she had long hair and didnt have it tied back which she should have. we got our table and a young girl came and took our order which i got lamb shank and my panrter got fish and chips, the lamb shank was with a red wine sauce and came with mash but all i could taste was pepper, my mouth was on fire i gave feed back to the young girl which i got the impresstion she was not sure what to do she ask me if i wanted her to let the cheif no i said yes please. when she came back she told me the cheif said we could have drinks on the house but we said no as we was giving feed back not wanting soming for nothing. as we was sitting having pudding we heard a dog in the other side of the pub barking. staff ok but could do with a bit of training, and cheif could do with reading up on ingredinets in food. we would like to say as much as this place looks nice we will not be going back

We have visited the Robin Hood many in the past,, but not for about 6 months or so.We aways looked forward to going as a special treat, but last nights visit was so disappointing we felt as the food was nowhere near as good as it was in the past, the homemade chips seemed as though they had been cooked in oil that wasn't hot enough leaving them greasy and not very pleasant. The steak pie which used to be to die for was totally different than it was previously . Summing up we won't be rushing back in a hurry, disappointing as we loved it in the past.

During my recent visit to the Robin Hood I was amazed at the quality of the food on offer and found it difficult to decide on what to select. I ordered the burger with goats cheese and friends ordered fish and chips, beef lasagne and all of the meals were outstanding. It is amazing what improvements the selection of a new chef can bring and long may you continue.

Have been here numerous times for a meal and usually love it, however, I was disappointed on this occasion. Special starter was ok, batter wasn't crispy at all but still edible. Had cock and bull for main, chips are gorgeous and obviously homemade but the sauce was bland / tasted of nothing at all. Seems to have had a overhaul of staff, new chef and all the girls seemed young. Shame its not up to its usual best.

We payed a visit here from Leeds for a family meal, and we wasn't disappointed... food was amazing, i had the pate for starter and cock and bull for main, which may i add was the best i've ever had the chips was out of this world too and all home cooked it seemed. The staff was great, very friendly and polite, especially one young girl whos name i didn't get but she had long ginger coloured hair, really lovely she was. we will definately visit here again when in the area.

Just popped in her for a quick bite to eat with my son as he had been to work with me in the morning. As a kid and a bit fussy, he asked for a couple of starters. Had Onion rings, chips and garlic bread. The Chips came out in a bowl, really thick and chunky and the onion rings were huge. I expected them to be the frozen ones and just a few of them but no, they were proper big pieces of onion coated in the lightest crispiest batter and came on a plate with salad. Nicest onion rings I have ever tasted. I got the Fish and Chips. Fish was huge and the chips again were thick and chunky. The fish was coated in batter which was really light and soft in the middle. What I really liked was the fact that the plate was big but it wasn't overloaded so you don't have any room to cut up your food. It cost £15 for the 2 of u which I thought was good for the amount of food we got. Cant believe I haven't tried the food in here before. Thanks to the chef for cooking something so homely and tasty instead of the frozen processed foods some local pubs normally serve. Will be back with the family soon.

Recommend this pub by a friend. Nice cosy pub and food was lovely. All was going well until my wife and I noticed several ants on the edge of the table and down the table leg. We were on our way out and thought we would subtly mention it to the bar staff as the waitress was busy. Unfortunately , we could not get the bar staffs attention as they were ' too busy chatting and on their phones' in the back. so we left. Unsure if we will return now.

We have been going to this pub for over 20 years. It's always a friendly and welcoming place. Our latest visit we tried some food from the specials board. For starter we had the mushroom, stilton cheese and bruschetta - this was really delicious and great for cheese lovers out there. For the main we had the cod special with potato's - one of the best meals I've ever had and for dessert we had the cheesecake of the day which was vanilla and white chocolate, absolutely beautiful cheesecake. The staff were friendly as always and very attentive. Another great meal. Thanks guys

We did not book but called in on the off chance we could get a table for 2. The full carpark should have indicated we would struggle. The Restaurant was full and there was only 1 table in the bar. The service was efficient and friendly. Soup of the day was Carrot and orange. A strange combination for me. I did enjoy it but it was a little sweet. Rest of lunch was delicious and very good value for money. All in all a good place to visit. Definitely recommend

My wife and I had tried several times during the summer to book a table by phoning on Saturday afternoon but were never successful, which indicates the popularity of this restaurant. Due to our circumstances we could not book earlier. However,in November we were finally able to book a table. It was worth the wait.Although the dining area of the pub is quite small it has a lovely cosy atmosphere but noisy diners' every word can be clearly heard. Some light background music would probably help. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and have been back since. The food is lovely with a good selection at reasonable prices and it was served piping hot. The Staff are nicely attentive and happy to put right any small problem that may rarely occur. We look forward to making the Robin Hood one of our regular places to eat.

My food was not as stated on the menu- cock and bull pieces of chicken and fillet steak cooked with mushrooms, onions in a cream and brandy sauce - mine had peppercorns in it which made it far to hot for me. The menu says served with chips or rice and vegetables - mine came without veg and when I asked they said veg wasn't served with the meal as standard but it clearly states and veg on the menu perhaps the chef needs a copy of the menu when he is cooking then I would have got the correct sauce and the veg - other than too much pepper in the sauce the meal was nice. My husband had sweet chilli beef sizzler with half chips half rice and he said his meal was excellent. Would defo go again but not have cock and bull unless I asked them to omit the peppercorns out of the sauce and stick to sauce described on menu. Service was excellent nice friendly polite waitress.

Stopped of at the Robin Hood for Sunday lunch as we have done many times as we only live around the corner,but have to say after all the time we have been coming this Sunday lunch was disappointing,beef tuff as old boots,carrots that have not been boiled or steamed adequately and so on.So although it does dishearten me to put a bad review,the only thing I can say is up your game.A Sunday lunch should be easy to deliver every time without fault,it's a simple process and test the food.Going to give this a miss for a while and try later,it's a shame when little gems drop there guard and food standards drop.

Lovely food from fresh ingredients. The only two suggestions: don't call something a stack if it's not, and unless you've run out of asparagus -for the salmon dish (only 2 bits) and had to compensate with new potatoes (lots -yummy though), I would change proportions. My boyfriend would have liked a better choice of ales. I would recommend to my friends.

I don't normally bother to write restaurant/pub reviews but we went a couple of weeks ago and felt this one deserved a special mention.The food was better than anything we have had in a long time. I wouldn't quite call it home cooking because it was clearly the work of a "professional" chef but what was nice was that there was none of the usual snobbery you normal get with "fine dining". Cosy pub atmosphere and great service without ever feeling anyone was hovering over your shoulder. Portion sizes very good and the food was well priced considering the quality (we had two courses and soft drinks for £15 a head). It's only a small eating area- maybe around 10 tables and we went Sunday lunchtime without a reservation. Wasn't that busy so at the moment it must be one of Wigan's best secrets and strongly advise you get there while it is still that way.Honestly can't think of a better place in Wigan.

We went to the Robin Hood on a Saturday night. It was busy, but there was a lovely atmosphere and it was warm and welcoming. We had starters and mains. I had the goats cheese which was quite a big portion and was well dressed and tasted fabulous. I then had fish and chips which was perfect! Our friend had the stroganoff, which she said was the best stroganoff she'd ever had. We were kept in a good supply of drinks and never had to wait for service - quite rare to get service like that these days. Well done the Robin Hood, we will definately be back!

You really should book a table first (because the dining room only seats 28) so we took a real chance on Sunday afternoon. Luckily we were allocated a table but we're only given 90 minutes before we had to vacate.It wasn't a problem, we could have had 3 courses and still finished, the service was fast and the 2 courses we had were delicious and filling. A true testament to the Chef, a small kitchen and all home cooked and lovely and hot.The Robin Hood doesn't pretend to be a restaurant, just a welcoming place for a good meal. The bar side was full of regulars (always a good sign) and a couple of cask ales went down very well. We will book next time, and we will bring our friends too, and it won't be very long before we do return - give it a go.

The food is freshly cooked so don't expect your meal super quickly as good food takes time, but Chris will make sure you don't go thirsty while you wait, all drinks served quickly to your table.We always find it to be a lovely relaxing evening when we eat there. By the way a choice of 3 or 4 real ales on tap.

Called here recently with a friend and ordered the mustard chicken with rice. I also ordered a side salad at an extra cost as I wasn't informed that I would receive a side order of vegetables. The chicken dish wasn't big for what I paid and the salad small. A bowl of vegetables were also brought out. These were left uneaten due to the salad that I had ordered. I should have been told about the veg and there was no attempt to reimburse the cost of the salad on the bill. The mustard sauce was oily and I left quite a bit of it. Not the best meal that I have eaten for a total of £12.00

Came here for the first time and thought it was delicious food. Was so impressed I came back a couple of weeks later but wasn't as impressed. The chips the first time where crisp and fluffy. The chips the second time where greasy and horrible. I gave it a 4 rating as its a nice change from the usual chain restaurants around and the menu is different.

Been here a few times in the past and always thought the food and drink was above average. However on this occassion the food was very ordinary. Service was good but felt slightly rushed. Ive had pate in the past and it was deliciousbut this time just ok. The sunday roast was basic. Two of us had it and we got a small bowl of veg to share...on the next table a man was given more veg than us all to himself. There was no veg or salad accompanying our little girls main which was a disappointment. Overall disappointed.

myself and my family regularly visit this lovely local pub and can't fault anything about it. The food is always to an excellent standard, a variety of drinks are always available and the staff are really friendly and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this pub to anyone whose visiting the orrell/wigan area.

had a drink in the robin hood decided to have a meal. Mistake, woman behind the bar said when I wanted to place the order (time was 18,30) not sure need to check??????????? I could of Ben ordering a sand which or a meal, she was not interested. The restaurant had only 3 tables occupied!!!!! Needless to say we want else where for food. I thought bar staff were there to offer a service of drink and food not turn custom away. Could not recommend. Poor customer service with a couldn't give a dam approach.

I went for a meal for the first time last night with my Son. The venue was quaint, and had a typical rustic country pub feel to it (just what we were looking for). Everything went downhill from there however, once the food arrived. We both ordered the 8oz new york sirloin steak meal from the specials board We both ordered our steaks medium rare. When the meals arrived, the steaks were extremely tough, and cooked medium well. I struggled to actually cut through mine even with a steak knife. The meals were sent back, and the waiter returned stating three very peculiar things. 1} This was the Chefs interpretation of medium rare2) The steaks "would have been medium rare when they left the kitchen, but would have continued cooking on our plates when served to us at the table (bizarre) and3) Sometimes you get tough cuts of meat, and that the Chef would have no way of knowing this when cooking the steaks??????The very inept waiter then became very defensive, stating the chef could re-do the steaks, but under his interpretation of "rare", When the steaks returned, they were clearly NOT rare, and still way past medium. The amount of rubbery inedible fat on the steaks constituted a 1/3rd of the actual steak size. The vegetables were tasteless and piping hot from the microwave, and the chips were pale, luke warm and undercooked. When asked by the waiter how we enjoyed our meal, we pointed out it had been a disappointing experience. At this point, the waiter proceeded to ask us to leave the establishment, and that we were now prohibited from returning, effectively barred. When I asked under what pretence he was taking this action, and if he had the authority, he then stated he was going to ring the police. I have eaten in restaurants and public houses all over the world, and never been treated in such a rude and unprofessional manner, We dine out in the Wigan area at least 1 to 2 times a week, and have good pallets and and a varied range of culinary skills between us. i.e. we ARE used to both good food and fine dining experiences. When something is wrong with a meal, it is only common courtesy to relay this information back to the kitchen, and be treated with likewise common courtesy and respect by the staff. Unfortunately this did not happen at the Robin Hood.On a final note, this is the first time EVER I have posted a review on any eating establishment, but given the awful and upsetting experience we had, I felt compelled to do so. I hope the owners of the Robin Hood take our comments in a professional manner, and not in the rude and callous manner displayed bt their staff.

Great home cooked meal, huge portions and reasonably priced. Fitted us in without a booking too. Two diners caused a fuss and the staff dealt with them very professionally.

We went to the Robin Hood for lunch today and we'll be back! The kid's meals were out of this world. My son (6) ordered steak pie and my daughter (4) had fish and chips. Both meals look great and must have tasted good too because they ate the lot and they were not sharing!! My Grandfather had the adult steak pie and that looked amazing too and came with a bowl of well cooked veg. My asparagus chicken special was delicious! I had to steal some of the veg to wipe the sauce up with. Lovely wine, fab food and great service. 5 happy people!!

Our 18 strong cycling group had pre-booked a buffet lunch. This was ready soon after arrival. A good quality buffet that even our large group struggled to get through! Price very reasonable.Cask beers very good. We were well looked after during our short stay and will certainly return if cycling in this area.

Had a lovely meal at this local pub. They have quite an extensive menu with so much choice I had trouble making my mind up. Gorgeous fluffy home made chips and very attentive staff. We will definitely return to try working our way through the menu!

We had a starter of king prawn toast which was oily and the topping was really thin. We actually argued about who should eat the last slice as to not appear rude. The chips were good and the veggie lasagna was nice. The fish was very greasy and my fiancé couldn't finish her meal as there was just too much oil. The service was good and the waiters were very polite. The menu was very limited and didn't give much room for changes. Like the title said, it was good but I wouldn't return unfortunately.

Another great meal. Cannot fault the Robin Hood. The service is second to none and the food is as gorgeous as ever. It remains our favourite place to eat out.

Food was hot & tasty and only waited 15 minutes. The smell of onions on the sizzling platter made me wished I’d ordered a steak but my fish and chips was lovely! Will certainly back to try a steak though. Staff were polite

Good authentic fish and chips, I tried the scallops and chips I was very satisfied. Inside there is a traditional atmosphere, the staff looks very nice too.
