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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
