About Bag and Bean

Bag and Bean is a cafe in Wigan on Winstanley Road in Billinge, set inside the Love it Gallery, a gallery and gift shop with glass art, so a visit to the cafe happens alongside the shop. The menu runs to 105 dishes, covering cakes, snacks, light meals, drinks and desserts. Savoury plates include Piri Piri Chicken and Greek Salad, and a Mediterranean option sits among the salads and chicken dishes. Afternoon tea brings sweet and savoury treats with scones, and the loose leaf teas include lemon and ginger and earl grey. Staff seat guests on arrival and hand over menus at the table. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary

Afternoon tea is what reviewers mention most at Bag and Bean, with diners describing sweet and savoury treats that were fresh, plenty of food, and scones that were really nice. One group marked a joint birthday celebration there, and another came for a Mother's Day tea. Close behind, reviewers praise the friendly, polite staff, who seated busy tables quickly and never made one group feel rushed. Coffee and loose leaf teas, including lemon and ginger and earl grey, also get mentions, along with good cakes and a covered outdoor area. Many enjoy browsing the attached gift shop and gallery, where the ornate glass art stands out. Parking is described as plentiful. The one caveat comes from a reviewer who found the scones hard and not fresh at an afternoon tea three years earlier, and who was not tempted by the cakes on offer on a recent visit, though that tea drinker still found the visit pleasant. Several reviewers call the value fair or decent, and one describes the cafe as a regular catch up spot for friends.

  • Elinor Bentley
    “8 of us came for afternoon tea on Wednesday 1st July, a joint 80th birthday celebration. The food was outstanding, beautifully presented, fresh and colourful, and there was plenty of everything. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to everyone. I would have it again anytime.”
  • Caitlin Ashton
    “I’ve taken my mum for the Mother’s Day afternoon tea and we’ve had an absolutely wonderful time. Both the sweet and savoury treats were delicious and fresh and I cannot thank the staff enough for how helpful they were. I would highly recommend to anyone, thank you Bag and Bean for a lovely day.”
