Would recommend. Had a lovely Christmas day dinner at the Poacher. All staff couldn't do enough for us and we where made to feel very welcome. Relaxed atmosphere didn't feel pressured or rushed and would definitely book again. Thanks again to all at the Poacher.
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.nnNever 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.nnThe 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.nnWhat 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.nnThe 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.nnThe 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.nnSo next time without hesitation, we will be going directly to The PoachernnYou want a place where you have an outstanding meal, be able to chat without music blurring and everyone is warm, polite and smiling.nnEmpty Car Park, no-one else having a meal.....the people of wigan and beyond don't have a clue what they are missing .......
Great pub for Live Sports with a wide selection of lagers and a good quality pool table. Recommended whether it’s a quick pint after work or a weekend meal with the family.
This place was lovely and the staff were amazing and went above and beyond for us so 10/10 for this.nDrinks were good priced and cocktails were fantastic so 10/10.nWe had the chicken for the starters and omg they were amazing, the chicken moist and not dry and the flavour was amazing so my brother and I were soo looking forward to our main.nI order the turkey Sunday lunch large with extra roast potatoes and my brothers ordered the same but with beef.nOur order came straight after we finished the starter and unfortunately it wasn't as good as we were expecting.nThe Brockley was great and still had a good crunch, the carrots were fresh, sweet and taste amazing and the pigs in blanket were great to but unfortunately that's were it stops.nThe beef my brother had was dry and my turkey was like sliced turkey for sandwiches ok I know its not Xmas but maybe change the turkey to pork or chicken if you struggle to get turkey in.nThe roast potatoes were nice put frozen and had been dipped in oil as that's was all you could taste and was a shame as they looked amazing.nThe stuffing was ok but dry so maybe add abit off butter to the stuffing mix but unfortunately the yourkshire pudding were terrible so both decided not to order pudding.nI would go back but try something different on the menu but not the Sunday roast so we would give the food 6/10.
Visited the poacher with friends at the weekend. Fab atmosphere, friendly chatty bar staff which always makes the night! Thanks again and see you soon. Have a lovely Christmas
