About Dish Bar and Restaurant
On Almond Brook Road in Wigan, Dish Bar and Restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine alongside pizza, pasta and plated steaks. The menu ranges from chicken piri piri and a veggie kebab with halloumi to salmon, chicken schnitzel and herb crusted cod, with a roast beef option on Sundays. A set menu runs at two courses or three, and on Sundays this becomes two courses for £24 or three for £30. The room is smaller in appearance from the street than it is once inside, and tables near the door can catch a draught when it swings open. Reservations are worth making, as the place fills up.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the Sunday roast, with the roast beef and herb crusted cod both described as well cooked and generously portioned, alongside praise for the veggie kebab with halloumi. Several also point to the value of the 2 or 3 course Sunday deal and note the food arrives warm, substantial, and nicely presented. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and attentive, with diners mentioning quick, welcoming service even without a booking. A few flag the small dining room and a draughty spot near the door. One visit describes a less smooth experience: slow, erroneous service, a missing side, a burnt flatbread sent back, and dry chicken pasta. Another notes the beef was a little tough. Most, though, describe leaving satisfied, including a party celebrating a birthday who called the meal and service spot on, and diners who stopped in while passing on the M6 for what they called a pleasant surprise.

“Food was ok. Didn’t feel as though made fresh. Service was slow and erroneous. Side order not delivered, one of starters miss ordered. Food overpriced for what we got: flat bread was burnt and had to be sent back. Chicken pasta was dry. Looked like it had been under a hot grill for a while, dry.”
