Quick info
About Station Café
Station Café is a family-run cafe in Wigan at 35 Wallgate, directly across from the entrance to Wigan Wallgate station, which makes it an easy stop for anyone with a train to catch. The kitchen cooks traditional English breakfasts, with a mega breakfast for bigger appetites and a Small Full English for a lighter plate. A bacon and egg roll covers a quicker bite, and coffee is served alongside the food. Brunch and lunch dishes round out the menu, so the cafe works beyond the morning. Sausage barms and a brew are also on offer.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return to this café above all for breakfast, and the mega breakfast is the item they name most, described as perfectly cooked and exceptional value. Close behind is the small Full English, which one walker said kept them going on a long hike, and a bacon and egg roll praised for tasty bacon, a perfectly cooked fried egg and a soft, fresh bap. Staff come up repeatedly as friendly, welcoming and fast, and several mention good value and decent prices. One reviewer said their dog was welcomed and given a sausage treat. The criticism is about food and price. One reviewer found the sausage barms cheap, nasty and fried, though they still called the staff friendly and efficient. Another was unhappy at being charged £7.50 for three eggs and salad, and said staff laughed when they asked if that was acceptable. Many reviewers stopped in before a train, and one closes by saying they will be going again.
