Nice cosy pub/restaurant, busy but that's because it's a popular place, went for the Sunday set menu 3 courses £22 which is a good deal. There is enough choice for everyone to pick something they like. Plenty of staff waiting on who were nice and helpful, food arrived in a timely manner and presented well
Food was filling however felt like it was just missing something for that 5/5
Pint prices not too bad either, very reasonable prices
Would tell people to give it a try
Only nipped in for a drink. Nice pub. Bar staff we're friendly. Will visit again when in the area again.
Birthday treat random pub chosen. Accepts dogs big bonus. Foresters Arms Awesome choice.
We had two courses for £15 each and Jazzie our dog totally loved it, when our meal arrived, Jazzie’s surprise was a bowl of doggy biscuits a lovely surprise for her.
We both had the pie meals which were very nice too, though seeing mine was the steak pie Jazzie was 👀 at the steak 😂
Great staff, awesome customers, make you feel very welcome, people are great to talk to.
The pub itself is very welcoming and cosy, dining to the right, chilling and relaxing with a nice cosy fire in the other room to the left.
All in all a real nice pub with friendly people and awesome food.
Highly Recommended 👌
What a find. We were waiting to pick people up and came across The Foresters by chance not really I found it and had pre booked it. It was very noisy when we arrived, there was football being watched. The bar was chockablock with people but the waitress got our table ready quickly. The match finished shortly afterwards. When our arrived OMG. There was minted mash with carrots and parsnip slices mangetout and broccoli. The mound of mash was crowned with a lamb shank and a huge Yorkshire Pud and of course lashings of gravy. It was the best and I mean it the best ever pub roast I've ever had. I did tell the manager when I saw him. For dessert we both had sticky toffee pud, that was delicious because it didn't taste of bi-carb which it often does.
Pity we don't live closer otherwise we'd be going back. Beautiful meal.
Lovely Rustic Pub and very popular with plenty people in , met up with few friends for a catch up and meal , ordered our meals and wasnt disappointed, each course we all found the food was excellent and plenty , waitress even though rushed off her feet was very attentive and had a smile on her face , will definitely be coming back in the near future 👍😊
Food is delicious here, friendly helpful staff and very good value for money, white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake is amazing.
Best pie of my life! And I grew up in Wigan. Lovely atmosphere and people running it. Dying to try more dishes.
The wooden bench was a little creaky so every time the kids behind me moved and jumped, it knocked mean which was annoying. That’s the only thing I can fault.
Very tasty, good value food and big portions too. I took my sweet home to finish my meal.!
Good atmosphere, (on quiz night in particular) and our best friend Barney the Tibetan was allowed in and given a free treat. 😊
We went recently and the food had gone 'down hill'. They have had a few problems recently with service. Hopefully, this is a temporary blip. 🤔
The Foresters Arms had been very much highlighted on Facebook several times for the unbelievable donating of meals for the Homeless here in Wigan, but when even looking at their menus and there reviews to seemed that everything that The Foresters Arm do is hitting the perfect note. The reception we received on our visit is a warm smile from the staff and even with our dogs (Dexter & Meg) in toe, we were shown to our table and dogs were made a fussed off.
The staff constantly come to your table to make sure you are ok, but of course you want to know about the meal itself, well there's no surprise the meal was excellent, and even the wait for the meal clearly meant it was cooked from fresh. Absolutely no complaints at all, this is a little ole place kind of in the middle of a residential area, but yet stands tall and are a true inspiration for this area and Wigan as well in fact for everything.
Absolutely recommended, very good and tasty meals in affordable price.
