Quick info
About Peters Chinese Takeaway
On Poolstock Lane in Wigan, Peters Chinese Takeaway serves Chinese food for collection, with orders placed at the counter and no bookings taken. Portions come out large, and Beef in Black Bean Sauce sits among the dishes on offer. The shop opens in the evenings from Tuesday to Sunday and closes on Mondays. It gets very busy, and a queue usually forms at peak times, so a wait is normal.

Customer Review Summary
Big portions of Chinese food and chippy fare draw most reviewers, who call the food delicious and good value, with several naming it the best Chinese in Wigan. One reviewer has been going for over 40 years and still rates it among the best, and another says it is the best takeaway they have been to. Staff are described as friendly, warm and busy, and one regular mentions getting freebie spring rolls. The caveat comes from a few reviewers. One finds the staff seem angry and intimidating, says nobody explained how ordering and waiting works on a first visit, and has driven past after seeing a queue because it gets extremely busy. Another reports crispy beef that was a greasy, glupy mess of fried rice, and says that when they phoned to complain they were told it was standard and offered another portion of the same. Even the nervous first-timer calls the food very tasty and keeps coming back.
