Reviews 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. 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 Poacher You 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 .......

Been my local for a number of years now and I can honestly say this pub has been turned round by the current management team. The food is always spot on with a great variety of drinks on offer. Would highly recommend this pub to anyone, great atmosphere and lovely staff! Thank you team poacher!

I come here every week I am a support worker and my service user loves the chicken tikka masala here. It is a lovely place, the staff are so accommodating and polite. Its never that busy that you feel in the way. Gives you time to spend what time you want to. We have been other places and our time has been rushed. Which is very upsetting for my service user. We are very happy with this establishment and my service user has said he wants to Come here every week from now on. Thank you to all staff. We only know one of their names and that is Neil. Since my last review we have still been visiting this establishment every week and we are still in love with the place and all the staff. So friendly and the hospitality is absolutely fantastic. They have recently changed a few things about the menu and I will only say it is for the better. It was perfect before but is more perfect now. Compliments to the chef. You do a fantastic job. Thank you all of you xxx
