Has anyone got any suggestions for a good restaurant in Wigan/Standish ?
It's for my 50th in 3 weeks time so McDonalds is out
I'm not looking for any Indian ,Chinese etc my elderly parents will only eat "British food" .
Any suggestions ?

The Stables on Millgate (side of the Grand Arcade) is nice, as is the Hinds Head at Heskin and, of course, The Crown at Worthington.

If you mean the Hinds Head in Wrightington then it's now changed hands and is part of a chain. That chain, somewhat ironically, is called 'best british pubs' and it's the worst pub meal I've ever had. Would not recommend it to a Wire.

I really can't recommend the Dicconson Arms enough. It's the one at the top of Appley Lane North on the way to the Wiggin Tree.

They used to have a Spanish kitchen and knocked up some cracking food, but like you said, it changed hands and they stopped serving Spanish food. Only went once afterwards and it wasn't a patch on the previous standard.

It's been a few things recently. It was a taps restaurant and then it became more of a traditional place (Owned by the same people who own the Railway at Euxton). We used to go a lot and I never had a bad meal there. It closed due to lack of passing trade and now it's been taken over by a chain. Nothing against chains particularly, but this one is awful.

Like I said in my previous post. If you want a really good meal, get yourself to the Dicconson Arms.

Ah, that is the reincarnation I was referring to. Had an excellent meal there for Grego's birthday last year, bit gutted to hear it's changed again as that meal was really superb. I will chuck out our once-used loyalty card for it then!!

Farmers Arms in Eccleston is a good meal, but its not cheap and not much room for big groups. The Farmers arms up the road is also a good meal (two miles between the two). The Owls at Standish is always a good meal, nothing flash but a good meal at a reasonable price and plenty of room for large groups. The Beaches is also good for groups and I have never had a bad meal in there. Can you tell what I like to do at weekends ?

Try this place in Hindley...not the biggest portions but good food www.summat-to-ate.co.uk/

Thanks for all the suggestions.I'll have a look at them all.

think you'll find its the Beeches, a second vote here for the Dicconson Arms on dangerous corner, best fayre in the borough by a mile

STOP BLAMING THE PITCH FOR LATICS BEING POOR....JESUS!!!

Absolute moron on SSN talking about the game.

Radio 5 Live reported that Martinez said in the match programme that the state of the pitch was caused by "rugby league commitments".

You would have thought the pitch would be in A1 condition with 11 loads of 5hit being on the pitch every other week sine August.

Maybe someone could confirm this in the programme? Conroy?
