Boars Head - Wigan

I can't believe we've never dined at this charming little pub before, considering how frequently we eat out. I couldn't find a fault with the delicious food and excellent service. We will definitely be returning.

My family selected this restaurant for my brother-in-law's wake. Mandy & Co were very hospitable and friendly. With only 13 of us, we all ordered from the menu. The food was outstanding and plentiful, receiving compliments from everyone for the delicious meals and excellent service. Personally, I found the gravy on my dish to be one of the best I've ever tasted. I will definitely be returning.

My experience at the Boars Head for lunch was underwhelming. Despite checking out the menu beforehand, I was surprised to find a 50% increase in prices upon arrival. The staff were friendly initially, however, the service from the waitress and the person we paid was lacking. The Steak Sandwich we ordered looked appetizing, but the meat was tough and the chips were bland. To top it off, other customers started bringing dogs into the restaurant, which I personally find unacceptable. Overall, I don't think I'll be returning to this establishment.

I have to say that the food is excellent, freshly cooked, hot and very big tasty portions. Unfortunately the service lets it down. The staff appear to be more interested in talking to each other or their friends who were in drinking. Not very attentive and we had to either go to the bar or try our best to get their attention when we wanted drinks. On top of this our mains came out whilst we were still on our starters. I would eat here again but service could be better.

We stopped off at the Boar's Head in Standish for drinks and food on a Friday evening. The decor is good with a heated outdoor space. The food and drinks were good and the staff were quite friendly. The only drawback were the toilets which would need improving and updating. Hopefully when we return this will have changed.
