Booked the breakfast sharing board for 2 people for this morning. Have to say, we love this pub and the food was absolutely amazing and great value. I've not given 5 stars as unfortunately the service today let us down. Staff are lovely, however they were sat having breakfast and we felt slightly ignored and had to disturb them to ask them to box our food up and then to pay. We will definitely be in again for this and again for afternoon tea as we've also had this many times and that too has always been fantastic.

We always seem to struggle to get a roast on a Sunday, either they've run out or it's a long wait, but when we can get one, it's excellent. The rest of the menu is decent pub grub, with a few vegan options. They always have at least 1 cask ale, and a broad selection of interesting flavoured rums etc. on the back bar. Massive outdoor seating area with heaters, so you'll usually get a table somewhere. Staff always seem to look stern & serious at all times, but they're attentive and very efficient & helpful. The music can be a bit noisy sometimes but if you let them know it's bothering you, they do turn it down!

Absolutely dreadful.!! Poor Food, overpriced, poor service. Ordered gammon and cheese onion pie. Order came after an hour of waiting, Gammon was either overcooked or warmed up from the day before it was dry as a bone. Chips and mushy peas had been stood too long and the chips were nearly black!!! Cheese and onion pie came swimming in brown gravy which wasn't stipulated on the menu although it was changed with another 15 minutes. Nobody came across to see if the meals were ok. Won't be going there again.!!! Had to give at least one star would not be given any if I could. Not recommended

We found this great pub by chance, and we had a warm welcome from the landlords. Really shat you would want a traditional English pub be. We gave now gone back a second time and sitting in the large, well designed beer garden. We are coming back to wigan again next week and will definitely be returning.

We didnt eat here but been told the food is lovely. Recently taken over by Blake - who is very friendly. Venue is nice and lively Friday, Saturday and Sunday, good prices beer wise. Band that was playing outside in the nice sunshine was called Woodstock (live band with no backing tracks)& went down very well with the patrons. Inside was much nicer cleanliness wise than last time I was there. Give the place ago.

The pub is lovely, the service was not very good at all we waited about three quarters of an hr to eat 😀 & to be fair I was not impressed with my food. I have eaten there before ; it was excellent. So hopefully it was a one off bad day.

Absolutely wonderful find near to the flat I was staying in. From the moment my husband and I walked into the Royal Oak, we were treated so warmly and the great service continued throughout our visit. We had food and drinks and both were really good. The food was high standard pub grub, just what's needed on a dark, wet night. There was plenty of it too! Every customer who walked in was greeted in the same kind, friendly manner as we were. Actually the barman knew many of the regulars by name and took time to speak with them. The pub unexpectedly had to close, as there were only my husband and I and another couple of patrons, so not enough people in to justify it staying open. We were so happy with the Royal Oak, that we chose to return the following evening. If we're ever in Wigan again we will definitely head to this pub - good food, good drinks selection, a proper welcome and a relaxed atmosphere; we couldn't want for anything more.

Went in for a drink after a meal before our taxi arrived, fight broke out, challenged one of the perpetrators for knocking my full drink over me and ended up getting assaulted and thrown against the wall, my husband was punched and had his glasses broken by the perpetrators husband and friends and bar staff were not in the least interested when we asked for help. If it wasn't for a few customers who witnessed what happened and came to our aid, I don't know what the result would have been. Police arrived but would not listen to us as we weren't part of the original cause of the raucous. Suffice to say we won't be returning anytime soon. Comes to something when you can't even enjoy a quiet drink as a couple in town anymore!

Update: On a recent visit on a hot sunny May afternoon the beer garden was packed indicating this is a popular place. We sat outside at the front until the heat of the day drove us inside. Cool and sorry inside, nicely decorated plenty of places to sit Not been in here since it was refurbished inside and out. The refurb is really good especially the outside area. Lots of space outside. Only drawback for me was there was only a couple of hand pumped real ales on. Not a drawback for my friends drinking Guinness and lager.

If I could rate less would have done… Food took 2 hours to arrive. Tried contacting them didn’t answer my phone call and when they eventually answered gave me an approximate of 5 mins wait but ended up waiting for 45 mins
