About The Lunch Box
On Market St in Wigan, The Lunch Box is a cafe serving daytime meals with no reservations, taking walk-ins throughout the day. The menu covers jacket potatoes with tuna and cheese options, each served with a side salad, alongside a Cheese and Tuna Panini and an all day breakfast that includes a Veggie Breakfast. A hot beef barm is available with onion as an option, and coffee is served alongside the food menu. High chairs are on hand for families with young children. The cafe opens daily, daytime only, so meals run from morning into the afternoon rather than into the evening.

Customer Review Summary
The all day breakfast is what reviewers mention most, with a veggie breakfast also praised, and several call the food good value for money. Close behind are a cheese and tuna panini with side salad, tuna and chicken jacket potatoes, and a hot coffee that one reviewer calls great. Diners describe the food as tasty, fresh and cooked quickly, in a clean room with friendly, pleasant staff. Reviews are not all positive. One says prices have risen and calls a small jacket potato with a sprinkling of cheese and a spoonful of beans poor value. Another says the lighting is very dark. A third finds staff friendly but slow to get orders right: a fried egg requested with a runny yolk came cooked solid, and a hot beef barm ordered with just a tiny bit of onion arrived with what looked like half a chopped onion, more onion than beef.

“Used to be very well priced but the prices have shot up. £5.60 for a small jacket potato with a sprinkling of cheese and a spoonfull of beans is not value for money”
