  “Good food and the drinks are reasonably priced, I've walked past this pub like 500 times and never gave it a go, it's got a massive rear beer garden and the staff were nice and attentive, the food was really good and decent prices, would definitely recommend for a lazy Sunday or a few pints in the week”

  “Nipped in for a quick pint, ended up staying in for food as what was going past me looked really good. After couple of pints I noticed the cocktails board so i enjoyed a couple of well made cocktails too, they also made mocktails which others i was with enjoyed. This was all done out side in a big bbq area with private booths, long party tables and the smaller 4/2 seater tables. I will definitely be going back, service was spot on, very welcoming and helpful. The place was very clean and looked to have sports and live music also available.”

  “It was more than expected. Excellent service staff. Excellent fries to the food, best I've had for years. Sallad BLT was great. Garlic bread could be more garlicy. Perry pery chicken was a bit bland with the seasoning. Chicken Garlions was good also. Nice and calm, not to loud, many rooms to sit. Classic pub but in good condition.”

  “One of the popular drinking holes in Wigan. Back in the day, Royal Oak would be the last pub in Wigan Lane for the pub crawl before hitting the town. Not sure if this tradition is still active. Or have we evolved to drink coloured gins? They call it progress. Very friendly, pleasant and helpful staff. Would highly recommend.”

  “Had afternoon tea. We didn't enjoy the cheesecake and the scones are dry but otherwise it was good. Definitely worth the price. Clean toilets and nice atmosphere. Their breakfast is amazing though.”
