Customer Review Summary
Diners single out the beer as the primary draw, repeatedly calling it one of the best in Wigan and praising the decent choice on offer. Close behind is the friendly service from the bar staff and the welcoming atmosphere, with several noting the warm, old-style pub feel and the live sport, mostly rugby, on the screens. The beer garden out front earns specific mention as a standout feature, while the pool table, dart board, and slot machines add to the appeal. A few describe the pub as small and busy, with limited parking, and one reviewer notes a moody reception for non-regulars. Several highlight the seasonal decorations, including Halloween and New Year setups, as a memorable touch.

“Ok little boozer, old fashioned, which is what i like from a pub. Little moody upon entrance, if you're not a regular, you'll probably get stared down. Was rather busy when we went as it's rather small. Doubtful, you'll see me in here again.”

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Listings are re-checked in batches against their public profile, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
