The Whistling Wren in Wigan

Fantastic time with the family as ever at the Whistling Wren! Great service from the lovely Steph, see you again soon!

Steph gave cracking service, very friendly and talkative and did us a massive favour putting a reserve on a table last minute :)

The service was really quick and Steph really looked after us.

Absolutely chaotic. I sat at a vacant table and was ask to move as I hadn't been taken their by a member of staff. They then proceeded to take my husband and I back to the same table. Will nit be going again. Do not recommend.

Incredible service from Steph! Thank you for a lovely experience.

Steph was serving us, was very friendly and chatty, my little boy didnt like his lettuce on the burger and she came over with tissue and helped him take it off, went above and beyond. Thankyou will definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely service by Beth today, really helpful & friendly!! The food was really nice. Would recommend!

brilliant service from the waitress steph

Had a pleasant experience as always, service and food excellent. Nice atmosphere, Our server Caitlin made sure we had an enjoyable meal and service.

Steph our server was lovely, very chatty, helpful and friendly. Good food at a great price.

Excellent service, especially steph. Hopefully back soon. Back again

My server steph was so kind and helpful,couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Had a lovey server called Steph she was amazing!!

Served by Steph who was lovely, food was nice and filling. Atmosphere was loud, but is to be expected given it is a weekend.

Food and service as good as always. thank you.

Went for afternoon meal and drinks. Ordered using their new App. Service was a little slow, but couldn't fault the food.

Great, friendly service from the attentive staff. Food was decent, with nice mains and dessert. Very happy with the meal and the environment. The staff also were keen to point out any allergen info and asked if we had any food allergies before ordering. A nice pub, with plenty of seating spaced out so you never feel cramped. It has outdoor seating too if you prefer to sit outside.

Both Steph & Amy went above and beyond ensuring my daughters got exactly what they wanted

It's what you expect of a chain pub. Decent beer, decent food, but; this stands out from others as the staff seem happy and interested made it an enjoyable experience.. Visiting on business and staying in the holiday inn where the food is expensive and the same or worse than here. Dont expect culinary delights but if you expect decentish priced pub grub with good customer service, you won't be disappointed.

Friendly service, and tasty food, we had the pleasure of Steph service us who was amazing. Amy also helped out with an accident one of the kids has in the playground and she was so helpful.

The whistling wren has the best food and the customer service is brilliant you all need to go and try it if you can give them all five stars by the way I have something to say about one of the staff members Steph: Steph was brilliant kind funny and entertaining she dose everything she can to make your day and is so kind and lovely my night was so much fun and she is the best thanks Stephanie ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷 well that is all I have to say so guys go try out there food now bye bye!!! 😊😊😊

Hi I can't seem to find a way to answer you, So ive deleted my last message so I can put a reply to your comments on the reviews. I am aware the chips size we use to have. But I assure you we started out with the rectangle bowl it then was replaced with small round bowl, hence then we then asked for extra chips. My friend and I look forward to a shot of vodka and dont like to complain. Like I said you and your staff are great!! Gracious thanks Sharon and kath.

The chicken burger didn’t come with the chicken gravy, which was literally the ONLY downfall. Steph our server was amazing, super friendly and attentive. A real credit to your company.

Amazing service and Steph was friendly and very efficient x

Steph was fantastic!!! Lovely meal

Food was brilliant staff are very polite

Roast potatoes were tiny and not many of them, stuffing was like a bullet, beef a bit dry, mash too small.

came for lunch today and had a lovely meal staff and especially gemma who looked after us , she was kind friendly and attentive, food was amazing, thanks again!

We came for lunch on Mother’s Day following the man utd game and we were served by the amazing Gemma who was brilliant. She was friendly, polite and brilliant at her job - very welcoming and the food was amazing too. Thanks for having us see you again soon!

Food was really nice staff very polite especially Gemma thank you for making our visit great

Excellent service. Can rate Steph highly enough. Always friendly and very helpful.

Very nice pub, very good food and wine selection. 5 stars for the service and the staff, friendly and professional.

The staff are absolutely brilliant and are genuinely first class for service and attentiveness. Overall, the food is first class and we've had little to no issues. If I were to be really fussy the only issue we've had was an overcooked steak. This was replaced really quickly and the staff couldn't apologise enough. Each time we've been, the atmosphere has been great. Warm, welcoming, busy but not too noisy. I've not been when a match has been on at the nearby stadium so can't comment on that. One last issue that does grate with me is the lack of a good, stout, mild, bitter.

Fantastic service from Elle and Steph

Outstanding customer service, and excellent food. We arrived unannounced as a large group (attending a dance comp at Leigh Leisure centre, and a couple of hours to kill between performances) we was doubtful if they would be able to accommodate us, however there was no issues at all. Found us two large tables near each other (one for the teenagers, one for the adults) We kind of assumed we may have to wait a while for food, with there being 20 of us, but the wait was no longer than normal. We ordered from the app, which was easy and straightforward to use. The food was excellent, generous potions, good quality and nice and hot. The guy who served us was lovely and pleasant as was the lady who seated us on arrival. 10 out of 10 all round. Lovely venue, nice clean and welcoming, hopefully will visit again soon. Thank you

Nice food came very quick, gemma was very happy and helpful.

Gemma was very helpfully and friendly

Steph did a fantastic job looking after us and she paid extra attention to our kids They can't wait to go back again! Thanks Steph

After a rush round the kids were absolutely starving we ended up at the whistling wren by chance as we found it on our way home, what a fantastic pint and good pub grub after a stressful few hours, our waitress steph was fantastic even entertaining the boys why me and Kelly ate our food, will definitely be returning here, BRILLIANT ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Served by Any tonight - she couldn’t have done more, even as we swapped things around from the menu. She was attentive but not bothersome and the pub grub was great!

Chicken wings and ultimate spicy beef burger were amazing , especially when washed down with some Guinness. Steph looked after us well. Highly recommended

Chicken wings and burger were absolutely delicious and Steph our waitress was the perfect host, making us feel welcome and was very helpful and attentive. Would recommend. 👍

Our waitress Steph was very friendly and lovely and looked after us.

Steph looked after us really well ten out of ten for service

Great food and atmosphere for a pre-match meal and drink before the game. Will come again Server Steph was great 👍🏼

steph was a really good waitress she was very polite and if there was a problem she sorted it right away

Fabulous food, Fabulous service and a fabulous atmosphere would definitely recommend

Grat food lots of different choices and friendly staff also lots of parking spaces

I normally go on match days. Food is often late, I have asked for a refund more than once because food was really late. They put reserved signs on most of the tables, but when I go online to reserve a seat it says this service is unavailable. This is usually the morning so how do you reserve seats? The staff are not friendly and I was sat at a table with my friends and we were there for 10 minutes with our drinks. She then told us to get up and move because she needed to put a reserve sign on it. I then asked where we could sit as we had bought drinks and the table was not reserved when we sat on it. She replied that it wasn't her problem.

Me and my friends came here for our monthly get together and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Steph was our waitress and she made sure we were okay the whole night, she was amazing. We enjoyed a lovely garlic bread made by Rob and our main meals were all spot on made by Lewis and Olly. We will definitely be returning. Overall our experience was absolutely wonderful! 🤩🤩

Came for a lovely family meal there was 12 of us and we had the best experience and amazing service from Elise. Nothing was to mych trouble for her and she always had a smile thank you Elise. The chefs rob Debbie and Zak thank you it was amazing we will deffinitly be back and also recommend to friends. Thank you all for an amazing experience ❤️

Great service from Gemma & great food. Had a token for 30% off so was well worth the money. Had the Sunday roast

Been tonight with a friend for evening dinner. Had a three course meal of our own choice and thoroughly enjoyed. Our waitress was Beth, she was so kind and caring and made us feel really welcome, so thank you Beth. Will be back soon. Thanks everyone.

You have so many great reviews and rightly so!! , but on this occasion I'm sorry but we didn't enjoy our lunch. We traveled a long way just to try your pizza's. It's contents included chicken thigh lamb donner meat pepperoni and cheese, l but all we saw In the middle of a decent size pizza was a few bits of tiny square meat like the processed you get at Asda ( add your own ingredients) and lots of pepperoni it's was awful! And just warm. For £14.99 REALLY! Fabulous staff not there fault.

Popped into the Whistling Wren next to Leigh Sports Village for something to eat before a football match. The place was full, but not overcrowded, and the staff were able to find us a table. Tables were spaced nicely so they weren't crowded up, place had a lovely atmosphere and has lovely decor etc. Our server Steph was fantastically attentative and helpful, without being in any way over the top or irritating. Food was really good for the price too.

Food was good. Abbie was friendly and always smiling. :)

Always a warm welcome .nice food and friendly staff plus Nice choice of wines

Grey food and great service, shout out to Steph who was very friendly and helpful thankyou again.

Great service from Steph. Looking forward to our next visit.

Went for a kid's party, it was good.

Greeted well at the door and offered drinks, plenty time to choose our food and the food was amazing and exactly what we wanted. Unfortunately after a second visit where 5 out of 7 meals were returned for a family birthday. The has been no resolution or contact from the management to resolve the complaint. Whistling Wren, you need to get your customer service in order.

Fantastic service from Gemma, very helpful and polite!

I had a brilliant meal here with my family. The food was outstanding. The service was also outstanding. Our waitress Gemma was Fabulous. Nothing was too much trouble for her. All in all it was a fantastic experience and it won't be too long before we're back

Very good and Steph is very friendly and professional

Lovely staff great food for the price.

We're here all the time, the food and the service is always excellent, special thanks to Amy who's our regular waitresses and Caitlin!

I like this place. A very relaxed atmosphere for an afternoon. I had the tagine which was very nice, and plenty of it. The main reason I go though is probably the pedigree bitter. Marvellous stuff.

Food was lovely didn't have to wait to long and staff were friendly

great food, staff very helpful and friendly, not waiting for our food too long this time.

Just visited and there is an updated menu. I had the Steak Americano which was excellent. Steph and the team looked after us superbly as always. Plus there was a beautiful sunset.

Food was good, price was reasonable, wheelchair access good, staff polite and friendly, very busy.thanks Gemma

Steph is lovely always smiling and provides amazing service. Been a few times and Steph has been our server; Steph is always fab.

Steph was the nicest bubbly server/waitress great to speak to and very helpful

Great service as always Steph goes above and beyond always happy 😊 nothing is to much trouble

Gemma was very good, looked after us but the pub is very cold, we moved from near the door, still cold. Lots left coats on whilst eating.

Gemma was very attentive excellent cold inside though

A family meal out mid week for my birthday. My daughter rang an hour before to book a table & when we arrived, Stef & Abbie had decorated the table, which made my day!

Steph and Abbie were fab they went above and beyond for a birthday celebration. Excellent customer service

We regularly visit the Wren before every Leopards home game. Season ticket discounts are appreciated, and brilliant service from Steph keeps us all fed and watered. She's great.

Abbie offered great service, all food came fast was hot for a group of 7

There was a brilliant band on and the food was sublime. Steph provided excellent customer service which added to an all round great day out at the rugby. UP THE LEOPARDS!!!!! 🐆🐆

Great service from Gemma, as always!

The food was lovely and the staff were attentive and the waitress serving us, Gemma, was happy to help with changing what was on the food, ordering more drinks and much more! Second time coming and it was great again, our waitress, Steph, was good, the food was and there was a band playing. An overall great day out for the rugby.

Excellent service and food selection all served hot and with a smile

If you want to be ignored, go to this pub! Walked in after being ignored with no eye contact from staff , we walked out again and went to a different pub. We will never return.

Great Service, well looked after by Claire, Stephanie and Sophea. Will defo be back.

Attentive and efficient service
