Travellers Rest - Wigan

We ate at The Travellers Rest and the food was of very poor standard. Dinky roast potatoes (resembled Auntie Bessie's Frozen Roasties), 1 yes 1 neuked new potato. Incredibly tough beef which ended up in my dogs tummy. 1 Yorkshire pudding that was like old shoe leather, I ended up choking on it. Tasteless veg. Don't waste your money going there. Two very disappointed customers!

We stopped by for a late lunch and were very pleased with our visit. There are two main bars, one mainly laid with tables. Both landlord and landlady were pleasant and welcoming. The food was hearty and nice,y presented. We would certainly visit the pub again. They have a small camp site behind that will definitely tempt us next time.

Stopped today and had a plowmans Sadly it was not great the cheese was sliced and curled at some ends. It came with salad which was tired and had seen better days. Two part baked rolls and sliver skin onions very 70s. I wish I had taken a photo to share.

Our group of 5 visited early Saturday evening.The young chap seemed surprised to see us even though we booked well in advance.We ordered our main courses and they arrived within a fairly reasonable time.The food was okay.Not great but passable.By the time we ordered desert the place was quite busy and said chap was clearly overwhelmed by it all.Table left uncleared and a long, long wait eventually ,after prompting,deserts arrived (with one missing).Very poor they were too. As we left we could hear others complaining.A real shame as this place has potential but needless to say we won't be returning.

I have visited the Travellers Rest on many occasions over a number of years, during which time there have been several changes of management. The latest change was last year and this has certainly been a change for the better. The pub is a traditional country pub, which offers a good range of beers and wines and now offers excellent food at very reasonable prices. The menu is extensive and there are also specials available. Staff are friendly and the service is excellent with eight meals being served at our table. .All were piping hot and arrived within a couple of minutes of each other. I have now eaten evening meals on 2 occasions since the change of staff and will certainly be going again.
