Whistlestop Cafe in Wigan

Breakfast was a little slow, and quickly flipping eggs resulted in a hard yolk. It was still really tasty. I don't know how they do it at these prices. 2 large breakfasts ( sausage, 2eggs, 2 bacon, black pudding, fried bread, beans,tinned tomatoes and beans with 2 toast and a brew) for a tenner. That's not a tenner each, but a tenner in total.

Great food and extremely good value for money.

Breakfast was ok but it was slow waited 40 mins for it to come

Best cafe for miles around. I'll just say don't judge a book by its cover this place is amazing

Can't whack it best cafe in wigan by a mile

Great cafe for breakfast, cheap prices too. I taken one mark off due to the coffee being horrible. So won't be getting the coffee with breakfast again Edited review as I was told could have filter coffee with meal for an extra pound .. it was lovely and the mega breakfast was a proper belly buster

Love this place . If you love good old fashion food that you mum and nan used to make then come here .you ll not be disappointed. A mug of tea , Mini breakfast (fried bread, .beens bacon,toast and egg if you have with it ...ALL for £3.00 .

Came out the train station and it was on the left. 4 of us went in for breakfast. Great menu for breakfast, lunches and puddings all very reasonable. Great food and friendly staff. This is one of my favourite places.

Black americano coffee tastes like instant very watery

Good food and exceptional prices proper cafe no frills keeps the cost down

Great café and very reasonable prices too 👍

Brilliant cheap food good service

The food was excellent. I had the sausage ,bacon and mushroom baguette. The bacon was really lean and the chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Great value and lovely people 🙂👍

Absolutely love it here come with my mum alot and brought my fiance today he really enjoyed it too. Prices are really good and the food is amazing. The staff are lovely too 😊👍

Cheap and brilliant value. Food always hot and freshly cooked.

Absolutely the best breakfast in Wigan, and incredible value.

The food was delicious and the staff are very, very nice. The prices are very reasonable. Spacious, easily fits families and buggies.

This is the best place for breakfast. Lovely welcome, my daughter loves it. Amazing food and amazing value. This is a really great place to stop chat and have something to eat or just a coffee. The staff are amazing, really good people.

Excellent value for money and food always piping hot as it should be

Brill mega breakfast Decent price and it really Fills you up a proper English brekky

Value for money, my only disappoint was the fried bread, absolutely saturated in oil, had to leave it

Proper cafe , good, reasonable, priced food .Full of characters

A decent fry up that represented excellent value for money !! Would definitely return for round 2.

2 huge fry ups, a mountain of toast, a coffee and a can of coke for a tenner - I don’t think I could find better value for money if I tried! Eggs slightly over done for my liking but all in all was an enjoyable breakfast and an absolute bargain! Friendly service - can’t fault the place!

Little hidden gem in wigan town centre. In my opinion the best place to get a breakfast barm be it sausage, bacon, egg or all three. It's great food at a reasonable price. Not many places can stay open for 20+ years and still produce the same quality, I would definitely recommend

What a lovely little gem, first time visiting, absolutely fantastic food, lovely staff and the price is absolutely amazing, would highly recommend this place to anyone, we will definitely be going back 😀

Best value breakfast in wigan . Friendly staff

One of my favourite places to eat. Staff always friendly and welcoming and the foods always yummy and best prices around xx

Great cafe, food cooked fresh and hot, prices very reasonable, the only downside there's no ambiance, a little background music or TV wouldn't go a miss.

This place is the place to go for breakfast, couldn't finish it all as they give you so much, big breakfast & a mug of Tea All for a fiver,Definitely worth a visit if you haven't been

Best all day breakfast you can get in wigan

Friendly, nice family cafe. Quality food and service and extremely cheap. Was to greasy for me, But still well worth a visit.

Very good value for money breakfast.

First time I’ve been to whistlestop cafe for breakfast good choice the mega breakfast is fantastic value for money it’s huge sets you up for the day good choice on the menu at really good prices ideal if you catching a train or just round town for a bite to eat would highly recommend great staff very friendly good job will be going again next time I’m in Wigan 😁😁😁👍

Not the Ritz by any means and the amenities are basic BUT value for money is fantastic and the food is cooked to order,so delivered to the table hot, not any of this standinding for hours under heat lamps to keep warm. Staff give a very friendly Wigan welcome

whistle stop cafe are brill .. .karen. paul .michelle .nathan . are great..food is lovely and freshly cooked.nothing to much trouble..been going in there yrs..home from home x

Excellent food and service. Call here when I am up in Wigan to visit family. Recommend for the price you pay

Good cheap quality breakfast value and plenty food. Can highly recommend. Nice. And clean cafe. Staff very friendly 10/10

The best breakfast I've ever tasted!! The food cooked to perfection & just the perfect amount on the small breakfast for me with toast & a cup of tea. Definitely worth returning

Full big breakfast for a fiver. Bargain!

Had 30 mins and stopped for some food. Bacon and egg sandwich, tomato, mushrooms & beans and a coffee. £5.50. Lovely service, great vibes. Will be back.

This cafe has been run for years by the same people who are friendly and give an excellent service. I have been going as long as I can remember and boast that it's the best breakfast in the country, and I work all over. Cheap too. May not look much when you walk in, but don't be put off and you'll be surprised.

Very reasonable price for a breakfast and quality good too

Fab affordable food to eat in or take out friendly staff.

Really good and tasty breakfast, large portions too. Was really busy when I visited so hard to rate the service as they couldn't have done more considering. The rugby league World Cup was on during the day and Haydock races so was extremely busy with people lining their stomachs, bit if a weight for my breakfast but when it came it was certainly worth it and they didn't just rush it out.

Really enjoyed the mega breakfast good value for the money I highly recommend it

Had a full breakfast here today November 2022. Really good value for money, big portion size, family run. Much better than other breakfast cafes in the town centre. Everything was cooked exactly as we wanted it. My partner had chips with a burger perfectly fried crispy outside fluffy inside. Myself and my kids had full english breakfasts with a few swops for dietary restrictions. Friendly staff this will be our new weekend breakfast place... p.s would be amazing if you were suffering from a hangover exactly what is needed. It's nice to eat out and not feel ripped off. Much appreciated see you soon. 😅👌

Amazing place to go for breakfast. All food is extremely cheap and probably the best you have ever had. Eggs are perfectly poached and yolkie, bacon is amazing, and you can get a mega breakfast for £6.40 which I would be impressed to see anyone finish, a personal favourite. Would recommend to the world. Does not get enough service at all.

ah forgot to review this place. used to go a few years back. it was pretty good back then. the sizes of the meals they gave you were generous and you always had a satisfying meal and was nice and full after it. decent price too. not sure what its like now though. but it was good when i used to go, you will get good value for your money.

It is always very good. Food lovely and Frendly staff.

Great food amazing price Staff friendly

Ploughmans is delicious and healthy synfree

has to be one of the best breakfast ive had. excellent price for what you got and very nice as well. will go again.

Great value breakfast very tasty could do with better sausages tho taste a bit cheap Great value for money tasty breakfast could do with better sausages tho as taste cheap

Good food not bad price could do with some music in the background

lovely breakfast that filled me up and quick efficient friendly service

Best cafe I've been to for ages, great quality, great price, friendly service.

Nice staff, spotlessly clean , very reasonable prices.

Love this place,,best bacon butty going.

Cute little railway themed cafe. The vegan breakfast was the best I've ever had, my girlfriend had the meat version and agreed it was the best she'd had. Really good value for money and staff were very friendly. Highly recommend for vegan/veggies.

Loved the food, excellent breakfast and reasonably priced

Lovely hot breakfast and reasonably priced. Staff friendly and accommodating. Could do with a refurb and perhaps some heating.

Good food at cheap prices. What more can you ask for. Go there regularly for a big breakfast.

Friendly service and social distances good breakfast and a great price 👍

Good value for money, fantastic breakfast and very friend staff! Would definitely recommend

Don't normally do reviews but i have to tell someone about the breakfast i had this morning it was fantastic. It was quality quantity and the price could not be beat, the staff are very pleasent and i will be going back for more in the future.

This is the worst breakfast I've had in my life over priced the sausages were mank the bacon was like rubber and a hair to go with it enjoy at your own cost

My wife and I eat here regularly. We always have the small breakfast which comes with tea or coffee and even after adding a couple of extra hash browns it still only costs us £7.80 in total. Apart from this the quality of the food (with the exception of the sausages which we find a bit tasteless) is excellent and always served hot and on hot plates. The eggs are always perfectly cooked unlike most places which serve eggs semi raw and the service is always great.

Unbelievably cheap and friendly little place. Serve a cracking breakfast

Basic cafe near the stations. Nothing fancy but just a good place for a cheap breakfast and drink. Had a good cheese on toast

Do a good all day breakfast and reasonable prices

What a place, if you live or are visiting Wigan this is the place to go for Breakfast or Dinner.....food is great, Staff are friendly, It is a café not a restaurant so don't expect frills. MEGA BREAKFAST is fantastic and at just £5:50 best value...…. Tea/Coffee Fresh juice 4 bacon, 3 sausage, 3 eggs, mushrooms, beans, tomatoes, blackpudding, 2 fried bread, 3 toast Will be going again guarrenteed. Thanks

Convenient for work, call in to grab a coffee

Great homely food and wonderful friendly staff.

The very definition of the old greasy spoon cafe. Serves the best brealfast in town and the best breakfast I've ever come across in all my travels. I can't comment on the rest of the menu because I only ever stop in for the brealfast menu. The staff are super friendly & helpful, going out of their way to help you at every opportunity. My only criticism of the Whistlestop is that the interior of the cafe has never been able to match up to the quality of the food and service. The Whistlestop is the perfect first stop if you're heading out for the day.

Very accommodating and do nice grub

Very near Wallgate station and a typical old school cafe. No frills but food is tasty and very cheap. Not the most salubrious of places.

Still the best big breakfast in town and great value for money. Could use a lick of paint here and there though. It's starting to look as decrepit as some of their clientele.

Fantastic mega brekky!! Awesome service.

been going to whistle stop for a few yrs..lovely staff..paul karen..shannon..michelle..so make you welcome...chatty..great..nothing too much trouble...place is down to earth and homely.........could do with update....especially the toilets a lot of the time dont work .or no bog roll....need a clean devo...but other than this is a good down to earth cafe cheap and cheery cafe...lovely people all of them..please tho sort the toilets out..

If you didn't know how good this place was you would do a u-turn as soon as you entered. It isn't the best looking cafe in the world but you won't get better. Great food always at cheap prices. The staff are great and always smiling. Only downside is it needs a overhaul but this may detract from the place. Love it here

Great little cafe great breakfast for the price

Great for a breakfast, staff always friendly and helpful, tends to be a cold building in cooler months,good value and portions.

What a great place to come for food and a welcome drink. Nothing was too much trouble I wasn't sure what to have but was told whatever I wanted was ok. I love the look of the place as well, very comfy. The sandwich I had was tasty and hot chocolate really good, would certainly come back if in the area.

£2 for a breakfast!!! And the fried bread is amazing

It may look a little down at heel, and have a somewhat eclectic clientele, but don't let this put you off. The service is friendly and efficent, and for the price, the portions are huge. Big breakfast consists of two rashers of bacon, two eggs, sausage, beans, tomatos, mushrooms, blackpudding, fried bread, two slices of toast, and either tea, coffee, or a soft drink. At £4.20 it's the best value in town, and you'll be hard pushed to find a better deal anywhere.

Very cheap café close to Wigan stations. Had a very nice cheese on toast and big cup of coffee for only £2.40. Not the most salubrious of places but staff pleasant, food fine and cheap as chips. Prefer to Station café across the road.

Simply Good grub like my mum used to make . Love it . Down to earth relax and Homely £2 for a full mini breakfast and a cup of tea

The best breakfast in Wigan comes from here, hands down.

Absolutely brilliant place! Been going there since a young kid with family and friends. Really friendly staff, great quality food and great value for money. No fancy things, just a nice classic place to be in.

I am a firm believer that if you provide nice food at a reasonable price, you'll do well. Whistle stop take this to the n'th degree. Great food at a good price! Keep it up guys! :)

Great food, service, atmosphere, prices, everything. Big Breakfast includes blackpudding, mushrooms, hash browns, etc., all excellent quality. You can also ring in and order when on your way, so food will be ready when you arrive!

Cracking little place, friendly and super value! Couldn't finish the mega breakfast, and tasted great- just over a fiver too.
