The Poacher in Wigan

First time in this pub and it's brilliant lovely relaxed and friendly pub. The staff are just as amazing as the food. Will definitely be making it more of a regular x

The poacher has changed dramatically. The food has had a turn around and is fantastic. The staff are all helpful and friendly when making decisions and you always see smiles on their faces. I will be coming here more often and I will be getting others to come in. The poacher is coming back to what it once was and it’s fantastic to see

Came in today for the new menu launch and tried the new southern fried chicken burger and I have to say it is the best burger I have ever had!! We have been visiting the pub for a while and it has just gone from strength to strength, the staff are always welcoming and the atmosphere is brilliant. We will be back again soon

Absolutely made up with the food here tonight. Steak cooked just how I like it and iam fussy when it comes to steak. The chief absolutely nailed it and I can't wait to return. Friendly staff great food and lovely venue. Thanks again. Be back very soon.

Here now and lovely service and amazing curries. Neil has gone out of his way to accommodate us and prepare a very tasty meal. Well done all the staff. Will definitely be back and recommend it to all. xxx

What a difference a year makes to our local pub, no longer empty, no longer awful food. The poacher is a credit to its new management, food is excellent and atmosphere better than it’s been for many years. Come and give it a try , it’s well worth a visit .

Absolutely amazing community supporting establishment! Exactly what winstanley has needed for a long time. Always in full support and promotion of local businesses, Sadie's Bistro being a regular supplier of their amazing food & pizzas from 7pm. ❤

Amazing food an amazing staff can't wait to come back next week

This pub has had a massive turn around that it deserves. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is amazing, also it cant be faulted and the atmosphere of the pub is like it used to be. Well done to everyone working in the poacher you all deserve the credit 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

1 of all we wish to apologise to The Poacher as this was our not a place we had even thought about, until we made a last minute decision, and OH MY what a FANTASTIC decision it was.Never judge a book by it's cover, well the car park was empty and there was no know else having a meal in the pub at around 3pm on a Friday we thought, this doesn't look good, but hey we here lets at least try and WOW.The meal was outstanding simple as that. This is a pub where you go for a drink and a something to eat, so don't except the décor to be on par of some 5star place it's a good old fashioned pub, but still with the character your dad, grandparents had come to love.What very 1st impressed me was on ordering our meal at the till, we were asked about any allergies and tolerances, this is the 1st time we have ever been asked this in all the places we have been.The menu is not a fancy all singing all dancing colour brochure like you get in most places this is black n white on paper, simple & to the point. They have a great variety of choice to cater from kids, something lite or a full on menu.The meal from starter to main course was delicious simple as that, hot well cooked just everything was perfect and left the pub stuffed and prices again brilliant.So next time without hesitation, we will be going directly to The PoacherYou want a place where you have an outstanding meal, be able to chat without music blurring and everyone is warm, polite and smiling.Empty Car Park, no-one else having a meal.....the people of wigan and beyond don't have a clue what they are missing .......
