The Trawlerman in Wigan

My first visit here. Amazing food, great value for money will definitely be coming back even if I have to drive 20 mins.

We have recently set up a four person panel to review our local chippies. Our final judgement rates The Trawlerman by far the best and most value for money. Our only concern is that one of the four person panel enjoys fruity curry, and he was distraught when he was given the news you do not sell fruity curry, he soon came round when he saw the excellent portion sizes. Keep up the good work Trawlerman/Trawlerwoman/anything else you identify as.

Eight people in the queue in front of me, early Tuesday afternoon was a positive start, as you don't queue for mediocrity!As per the pictures, the portion sizes were perfect.The quality of batter on the freshly cooked fish was excellent, as was the quality of the chips.The three members of staff were very busy, but had time for a smile and a friendly chat.Restaurant quality from a takeaway is hard to replicate, but they've managed to do it here!I'll be back again soon!Definitely worth the full five stars.Try it, you won't regret it.

What a place, i made the decision to visit after watching the Joe video. We diverted from the motorway on the way to watch the mighty Gillingham FC at Accrington Stanley.We ordered the Wigan Kebab, Babbys Yed, Pea wet and Smack. The food was amazing 👏 All the staff were incredibly friendly, it felt like i knew them for years as they were so engaging. This place really is a gem. If we are going through Wigan again i will be calling in. The best chippy experience i have ever had.

Seriously the best chippy around! Believe the hype, it is that good. Great friendly people, and good prices for what you get. The Smack barm pea wet is phenomenal! The baby's 'yed was scrumptious. And of course the classic fish and chips were spot on!We came all the way from America and we were not disappointed!

SMACK BARM PEA WET & WIGAN KEBABS GALORE!This is the best chippy in Wigan, especially if you're after the famous (and elusive) Lancashire chippy items. Wigan Kebab (which is a meat and potato pie in a buttered bread roll), Smack Barm Pey Wet (battered potato scallop in a bread roll with water from mushy peas) and Babbysh'ed (Steak & Kidney Pudding).The guys running this place are great, and this is a must if you're visiting Wigan, or you're going to a Rugby League or Football match at the DW Stadium up the road.

I’m the lady from whelley. And I would just like to say, this has to be the best chippy I have been to, lovely friendly staff, clean environment, and best of all the best fish, chips & peas ever. All the best for the future

Absolutely delicious 😋 fresh fish, made to order, very generous portions, gorgeous gravy!! See you again soon.

The staff are friendly but on two occasions now the chips have been undercooked the gravy didn't taste the best, the pie was disgusting there was black hard bits in you couldn't even pull apart with your fingers the filling was grey, looked like an old pie, won't be returning to this one again

Really nice chippy and great people that work there. fresh fish, stunning pies, nice puddings and you can't beat a Wigan Kebab (3 pies on a kebab skewer, a bun at each end, gravy and peas over the top)... Now that's a proper Wigan Kebab... And much more to offer. I'll be there again soon
